Lion Tracker Boyd Varty: Following The Track Of Your Life and Creative Process In The Digital Age
Boyd Varty (@boyd_varty on Instagram) is a storyteller, life coach and a tracker born and raised in South African wilderness at Londolozi Game Reserve.
This episode is a rebroadcast of a 2020 interview – but this episode has a whole other dimension to it, because since last airing it, I’ve been lucky to travel to Boyd’s home, Londolozi, and get married there. I also got to visit the famous treehouse from Boyd’s 40 days and 40 nights podcast series.In the intro, I share a little bit about my life-changing experience on the sacred land that is Londolozi. I also share a few of my favorite takeaways from Boyd’s book, “The Lion Tracker’s Guide To Life” – one of my favorite books of all time!
