Kurt Koontz: A Million Steps

Experience a transformative journey of nearly 500 miles on the historic Camino de Santiago with retired Fortune 500 executive Kurt Koontz.  Kurt's recently released book A Million Steps climbs over the high meadows of the Pyrenees, quests through the unceasing wind of the Meseta, and dances in the rains of Galicia.  The grandeur of Kurt's adventure is revealed not only on the trail but in the heart, as he navigates through his personal history of addiction, recovery and love, all the while embracing the beauty of the countryside and joyful connections to other pilgrims from around the world.

Kurt retired at the age of 36.  For the past decade, his travels have taken him to all corners of the world, requiring both physical and mental endurance. 

For all of us who enjoyed The Frontier Beyond Fear interview with "Walking the Camino" filmmaker Lydia B. Smith, hearing Kurt's account of his personal experiences will provide another profound perspective on a 1300-year-old pilgrimage bridging inner and outer worlds.
