Wilson Creek Winery and DJ Diver (101)
Meet Bill Wilson—he walked away from a high paying job as a financial consultant to pursue his dream as a winery owner. Listen as he shares his reasons for taking this Radical Sabbatical and discover how he learned to look beyond a paycheck to find happiness. Visit the Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula, California, where Bill takes you through his four-year journey—the hits and misses that led to the realization of a lifelong dream.

Then, travel to the land of St. Maarten in the Caribbean, where Richard Blade will give you the reasons he left behind the life of a Celebrity DJ to become a dive instructor. He reevaluated his priorities and renewed his love of the ocean. Meet Richard and his wife as they take you through a typical day of teaching people to scuba dive and tour the underwater world.
