My name is Vincent Russell Van Patten. I’m a writer, travel photographer, and host of The Dare to Dream Podcast, exploring what lights my soul on fire day-in and day-out.
The Dare to Dream Podcast is where my co-host and I share the lessons learned on our mission to accomplish our dreams. We draw wisdom from weekly guests who exemplify what is possible when you have the courage to live a life that is truly yours.
My debut book: Arrows of Youth: A Young Man’s Inspiring Journey to Find What Lights His Soul on Fire, is a story of adventure, an ode to life. Guided by ancient wisdom, timeless stories and contemporary discussion, this book encompasses my quest to never stop asking: Why are we really here?
I hope this book provides an adventure of the spirit, a journey into the unknown, brimming with hope.
