In a special turn of the mic, Laura McDaniels steps into the host’s seat to interview our usual host, Brian Buford. That’s right—Brian’s trading headphones for hiking boots as he prepares to embark on an exciting journey along the Pacific Crest Trail.
Laura and Brian dig into what inspired this trek, what Brian’s hoping to discover along the way, and how he’s preparing for over 2,600 miles of mountains, deserts, and soul-searching. It's a conversation full of laughter, vulnerability, and insight into what it means to step away from the familiar.
Whether you’re a seasoned hiker, a dreamer planning your own big leap, or just curious about the next adventure of one of UofL’s most beloved people, you won’t want to miss this one.
