We’ve all heard the phrase ‘travel to find yourself’ and one person who has lived that to its extreme is Mia Bowyer.

Mia is an award-winning marketing specialist, mentor and lecturer and the founder of One Earth Marketing. She has achieved some amazing things including launching the world's first fair trade plastic in Bangalore, India, Creating a 5-star podcast to tell the story of people living with invisible disabilities and engaging Twitch gamers to raise funds and awareness for Australian bushfires.

But Mia’s story is so much more than just the cliff notes. After quickly realising the draining style of the corporate world was not for her, Mia began a life of travel and freedom with a journey that saw some amazing highs and achievements as well as some harrowing moments, including when she was nearly abducted.

  • The blockages that her bike ride helped her work through
  • Why she struggles being around self doubt
