The Hike That Changed Everything: Discovering Rainbow Mountain (JUMP 205)

What if quitting your job led you to discover one of the most famous mountains in the world? In this episode, Jackie sits down with LeAnn Morris, co-founder of Flashpacker Connect, to share the wild story of how a year-long leap into travel took her from banking in the U.S. to hiking deep in the Peruvian Andes—where she and her husband stumbled upon what would soon become known as Rainbow Mountain. From trekking through Nepal during the earthquake to building a sustainable adventure travel company rooted in local partnerships, LeAnn’s story is a powerful reminder of what can happen when you follow curiosity and trust the unknown. If you’ve ever wondered what’s possible on the other side of a big jump, this conversation just might spark your next one.
