Corporate School Dropout: Inspiring Stories of Ditching the 9 to 5

Jared started his career in Los Angeles with an education based startup, but from the story he tells, he got his real-life education from his world travels. I feel like there is so much more to Jared’s story, but he gives you a glimpse of all his journeys in this interview. From a head-on collision in Malibu that broke both his legs, to the living and working in a Shamanic Healing Retreat in Ecuador. He’s soulful and inviting and his willingness to share is infectious; I feel blessed to hear his story and to share it with you all.   Jared’s Dropout Story What were doing before dropping out on your life long adventure? How many years have your been on this journey? What’s a piece of advice you’d give to a person who was taking a trip for the first time? What is a lesson learned when you’re traveling alone? How did you re-acclimate to the world? What are some life lessons from surfing? What keeps you inspired, motivated, and engaged in your journey? Any last words of wisdom for a potential dropout?
