Meet Your Host: Steve Hallman
“I believe that a natural inclination to be comfortable is the very thing that prevents so many people from becoming all that they were designed to be. At the center of this battle against complacency is my faith and understanding that in and of my own strength I am incapable of victory in this world.”
Steve’s careers in elementary education and law enforcement have taught him that to find meaning in our pursuits we need to embrace humility, ask better questions, and listen more. Listening to the wisdom of others has inspired Steve to exercise self-discipline, pursue truth through faith, and maintain high levels of integrity, which have resulted in greater resilience in the face of life’s interruptions.
“I cannot avoid every interruption in life, but I am able to have a positive perspective and execute tactics that will enable me to move past the difficult ones.”
Steve Hallman is a devoted husband, father of three young children, avid outdoors man, and founder of the Interrupted Movement.

Away Together with Nik and Allie Kennett
Have you ever considered taking a sabbatical or even retiring early? This may be one of the furthest things from your mind but actually may be exactly what you need. If you think taking a break is not an option because you have followed a traditional path of going to college then starting a career then this is the episode for you. After being married for only 5 years Nik and Allie were inspired and then made the decision to rent their home, quit their jobs, and go on a 6-month sabbatical to see the world and have an adventure. Well, there is a lot more to it than just having an adventure but as you will find out Nik and Allie are passionate about travel and passionate about taking advantage of every moment together. They have started a travel consulting business called away together and even have a YouTube channel where you can follow them around the world. After many months of preparation, Nik and Allie left on their sabbatical in the fall of 2021 and will not return to their home in the United States until the spring of 2022. They joined me on a call from the other side of the globe and I am so glad they took the time to share with the world their story. I trust you will be inspired by this incredible couple.
