What would you do if you truly believed you only had one life to live?

In this episode of Pod of Inquiry, Dr. Stephen Barrett sits down with Dr. Luke Cicchinelli, a podiatric surgeon who didn't just dream about change—he acted on it. Luke moved his family to Spain, learned Spanish through total immersion, and rebuilt his life overseas. Not once. Not twice. Three times—until it became permanent.

This conversation goes far beyond travel. It's about identity, courage, mortality, and what it really takes to live with intention.

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

➡️ How Luke learned Spanish from scratch—without apps, translators, or shortcuts
➡️ The concept of "purposeful ambiguity" and why it almost broke him
➡️ Why Spain's "work to live" culture may actually increase longevity
➡️ The #1 barrier that keeps people trapped in their comfort zones
➡️ How confronting mortality can be one of the most life-affirming experiences of all

Luke's story isn't about escaping—it's about choosing. Choosing growth over fear. Presence over routine. And giving his family the gift of cultural intelligence and a wider worldview.

If you've ever felt the pull to radically change your life—but didn't know where to start—this episode may be the permission you've been waiting for.
