Moore, Author of Exponential Happiness: How to identify and pursue life goals starting at a young age Subscribe to our [Frontmatter]( podcast for Leanpub author interviews for publishing industry interviews. These are our most recent podcast episodes... Len: Hi, I’m Len Epp from Leanpub, and in this [Frontmatter]( podcast, I’ll be interviewing Judson Moore. Based in Berlin, it seems like a shame to try to describe his career in just one sentence, but amongst the many things he has done, Judson is a travel writer, product management professional and social entrepreneur, who currently works with eBay. You can follow him on Twitter [@judsonlmoore]( and check out his website at [judsonlmoore.com](. Judson is the author of the Leanpub book [Exponential Happiness: How to identify and pursue life goals starting at a young age](. In the book, Judson shares his own experience and philosophy, in his own voice, on some of the most important decisions we make in our lives, particularly with a view to talking to people starting out on their journey, but also for people who want to start a new one - and anyone who finds themselves in a situation where they’re getting asked for life advice. In this interview, we’re going to talk about Judson’s varied background, career and professional interests, his new book, and at the end, we’ll talk a little bit about his experience being a self-published writer and author. So, thank you Judson, for being on the Frontmatter Podcast. Judson: Thank you so much for having me, it’s a pleasure to be here. Len: I always like to start these interviews by asking people for their origin story. You have a particularly interesting one, so I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about where you grew up, and how you first became interested in travel? Judson: It’s funny, I often refer to how we live in the modern age of superhero tales. With Marvel Comics and everything else, everyone seems to have to have an origin story. I often talk about my origin story being about a youth camp that I participated in, in Louisiana, when I was 15 years old. But to start there, I think I’d be doing a disservice to really what led me up to that point, and what a lot of the book is the result of, I think. I was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky, to two parents that are both ordained ministers and academics. I have a brother who’s two years older than me, his name is Lew. He was born with cerebral palsy, and he actually died when I was 14 years old. He was two years older than me. Of course, this had a huge impact on my life growing up, throughout my childhood, having a handicapped brother who wasn’t able to care for himself. Having to have the extra care from my parents, also meant that one of the best ways that I could contribute to his care, was to take care of myself when I was able-bodied and old enough to do things for myself. And then of course later, also helping my parents with his care as well. But this gave me, from a very young age, a very independent streak. It really taught me how to live in this world, take care of myself, make my own decisions, move through the daily struggles that we all face - mine being my own. We all have a different story. But for me, this thing that I also refer to - it’s the very worst thing that can ever happen to a parent. Not just the loss of a child, but the prolonged loss of a child. Living with that for so many years, and having that be the definition of your day-to-day life. It’s a very difficult thing. But for me as a child, of course, it was the only thing I ever knew. It was just life as usual. And I always had very supportive parents. They were always there for me when I did need them. I don’t want to give any impression like I was neglected, that’s certainly not the case. But I was able to be independent at a very young age, I think. And that made a big impact on me later on in life. When I was still - by most measures, quite young - but fairly independently minded. And so when I was starting to be faced with opportunities as a teenager to participate in various types of programs or– Just different experiences that maybe others would have thought - a little bit of hesitation about whether or not they could have participated in. I felt a little bit more empowered or able to raise my hand and say, “Yes.” So the origin story that I often tell, was - when I was 15 years old I was at this Rotary camp. It’s like a youth camp hosted by the local Rotary club in Louisiana where I lived. I moved there when I was 14 years old, so this was one year later. And it’s a camp for– Yeah, well - honestly, it’s kind of a typical summer camp. It’s got some leadership components, some team building components. Just learning good social skills and all this stuff. And there are also some pieces where we had some community leaders coming in and speaking about various topics and sharing their stories with us. And there was one presenter in particular, who came and spoke with us. As this was a Rotary camp, of course they didn’t miss the opportunity to promote some of the other Rotary youth programs that they support. And one presenter came to talk about the Rotary youth exchange program. And she came, and she said all these magnificent things about how you as a teenager can live somewhere else in the world for up to a year. “And we’ll pay for it. And you’ll get to live with a local family and go to a local school, and learn the local language. And you’re going to have this adventurous and exciting experience, and you should do it now. You can do it as a teenager, you can do it as a student - and it’s not going to cost you or your family any money, and we’re going to sponsor this, and we’re going to make sure that you’re with a - you’re in a safe place, with a good family that will take care of you.” And they have this - they’re recognized as a symbol of trust around the world. And it sounded just like a marvelous opportunity. And the call to action, at the end of her presentation, was for any interested student just to go up and talk to her. Just say, “Hello,” let her know your name, and just say that you’re interested. And I thought to myself, I was like, “Oh wow, that is a line that I am going to have to - elbows out, jump my way through and like stage dive to the front of the crowd to get up there and try to get my name known.” And of the 50 or 60 campers in the room, I was the only person who spoke to her. And as a result, a year later I was in Germany for the first time. And I did live one year - my 17th year, in Germany as a Rotary youth exchange student. And this is the experience that changed my life forever. And for many, many years my peers - some of them who actually were in that camp with me, who were in that same room and had the same offer that I had - they asked me for a long time how it is that I was getting these opportunities, why I was getting to travel? It all went back to that moment. And it took me a long time to figure out, “Why me?” How was I special? What was different about me to them? In my own opinion, I would’ve thought that any of them probably could have jumped the line in front of me. Just family status or longer time in the– More established in the community. If they had expressed interest, they probably almost surely would have been chosen to participate in this program before I would have been.
