| 0:00.0 | I really got this idea in my head since I was when I was 12, and I saw this man out walking |
| 0:05.6 | around the world. |
| 0:06.4 | Well, I saw an article of him walking around the world. |
| 0:08.6 | And I thought, well, boy, I didn't know you could even think of such a thing. |
| 0:14.0 | So, and I don't know what happened in my other life where it made some deep analysis |
| 0:20.3 | to figure out why that resonated with me. |
| 0:22.8 | But regardless, that really tickles my fancy. |
| 0:26.7 | And I thought, well, gee, that's how I want to go see the world. |
| 0:30.1 | Someday I'm going to walk. |

| 1:44.8 | Vale, Colorado to begin her trip around the world. The kicker is she decided that walking was to be |
| 1:49.4 | her mode of transportation. And five years later, she accomplished that goal. Polly, welcome to the podcast. |
| 1:55.8 | Hey, thank you so much for having me and I'm not walking right now. That's good. I appreciate that. |
| 2:02.3 | So you did all of this to raise money and awareness for breast cancer around the world. |
| 2:09.4 | What was it that made you decide to just set everything aside and take a trip around the world? |
