1000 Journeys Podcast is made up of Dean Harris and Craig McDonnell. Friends and business colleagues who share a simple philosophy: pass along what we’ve learned so the next generation can learn faster. We were there at the start of the internet, the rise of streaming, and the birth of social media. We’ve launched projects, survived pivots, ridden trends, and learned from failures — and now we’ll share our journeys and the stories of friends and associates to enlighten yours.

What we bring

• Real-world perspective from decades on the front lines of digital change.

• Leadership experience sharing what has succeeded and failed.

• Actionable lessons, not just theory — tactics you can use, mistakes to avoid.

• Stories that prepare you for the unexpected: how to pivot, how to spot opportunities, how to preserve creativity under pressure.

Our promise

• To prepare you for uncertainty by showing how seasoned practitioners think and act.

• To help you make choices that lead to a life that’s both responsible and adventurous.

• To surface ideas, tools, and mindsets that help you make better decisions — professionally and personally.

What to expect from us

• Honest, experience-driven episodes and essays: the wins, the losses, and the lessons in between.

• Conversations with innovators, creators, and builders who’ve shaped the digital era.

• Practical frameworks for navigating career shifts, launching projects, and staying curious.
