Katie McKenna didn’t pull the ripcord to follow the life that she had always dreamed of living, she had the ripcord yanked on her and it transformed her way of living life. 10 years ago she was working in finance because her Dad and her brother told her it would be a very good job for her. She was living someone else’s expectation.  She planned to work for 5 years, save a bunch of money and finally do what she was really meant to do when one morning she went out on a bike ride and at a stop light she signaled to a semi-truck driver that she was turning right. The driver didn’t see her. The light turned green, Katie started peddling turning right and unfortunately so did the truck. Like the Show? Leave a Review for Go Hunt Life on Apple Podcasts Katie was hit, knocked to the pavement run over by the front 4 wheels of the semi-truck’s trailer right across her midsection. She laid there in shock only to turn and look at the back set of wheels coming straight for her.  All she could do was scream "noooooo" as the 2nd set of wheels rolled over her body. I catch up to Katie over 10 years after that tragic accident and we discuss her life since that October morning and how she is now a motivating force helping people get over trauma. In this episode we discuss... Her career in finance living someone else's expectation. That perfect bike ride on October 2nd. Signaling to the driver of the 18-wheeler The sound of the accident. Feeling the mud flaps slap her body. The surgeon telling her that she probably wouldn't survive the surgery. Waking up, alive and grappling with her way of living life had completely changed forever. Going back to work 6 months after the accident. Her 10 journey of recovery and inspiring others to conquer tragedy. Motivating others that are not living their own authentic life to pursue the life of their dreams. It starts by making one small incremental change at a time which is exactly how she got from laying on that street to training for her 3rd half marathon. Shout out to Kyle James, podcast guest #77 for introducing Katie to me.

Cole Zucker started his entrepreneurial journey buying a one-way plane ticket to Shanghai China just after he was fired from a job that he hated in New York. Everything he owned was shoved into 2 duffel bags, he had $3,000 to his name and he knew no one in the city and didn't speak the language. After landing a job at a lightbulb manufacturing company, he recognized a market that was primed for disruption. That market was the LED lightbulb market. This conversation takes us through the early development days and of Cole being homeless in San Francisco chasing down lighting trucks for leads with nothing but a box of lightbulbs and a big idea. 7 years after hitting the streets of San Francisco, Cole is the C0-CEO of Green Creative that he founded with his partner Guillaume Vidal, a $60 million LED lightbulb manufacturing company with 80 employees across the U.S. and China.

Paul Kortman and his family of 6 are digital nomads and living a life on the road RVing through Mexico all while running a digital marketing agency. Paul actually has two ripcord moments and we go deep into both of them. "How can we lower our cost of living dramatically while improving our quality of living?" The first is when he quit "the best job he ever had" to start his own marketing agency. The second is when him and his wife with 4 kids sold everything in Grand Rapids Michigan to go location independent and travel the world while still running the agency. Things didn’t initially go as planned. Within 3 months of them being digital nomads, Paul lost 3 clients that equated to 90% of his revenue and things quickly imploded. We discuss... How they planned to leave Grand Rapids for good and travel the world as digital nomads. When things quickly fell apart just 3 months into their journey. Returning to Grand Rapids to re-group and re-build their digital marketing agency. Buying a 300 square foot RV for the family to continue their nomadic lives. Living and working in Mexico. The digital tools that he relies on to run his business and thrive as a location independent entrepreneur. The ups and downs of living a life on the road with a family of 6. "Yes, I could make more money but I would have to work more and what's the fun in that?" This is a story of a resilient family that refused to give up on their dreams of living and working from anywhere and a motto that they’ve adopted when their traveling lifestyle hits a roadblock is, “if we are going to laugh about it later, why not laugh about it now.” Show Notes HomeAlongtheWay.com PaulKortman.com Connexdigitalmarketing.com The Nomad Together podcast Mentioned: The Tropical MBA, The Family Adventure Podcast Tools that Paul depends on to run his business from anywhere: Slack, Trello, Google Hangouts, Zapier, Skype, Google Voice, T-mobile Sponsors PrintDirtCheap.com – Rockstars in printing with over 30 categories of printing products doing it FAST and doing it CHEAP.

Bob and Fara Grim quit the 9-to-5 grind to Travel the World on a $100 a day budget. To do this they needed to make a plan. Bob was working as a Software Developer and Fara was in the Telecom industry so they used their two incomes to save every penny to prepare for their launch. This conversation is a continuation from one 6 months ago when they emailed into the show detailing their pending ripcord and how the podcast encouraged them to go nomadic. We added a ‘pulling the ripcord’ segment with them at the end of episode #56 and you can check it out here. They carefully planned everything and most importantly how they were going to pay for it. They estimated that they were going to spend $100/day while traveling so they developed a mantra that gave them a gut check every time they were thinking about spending money. That mantra set them up to be temporarily retired in their early 40s and have enough money to travel on while they discover and create their next income streams. We catch up to Bob and Fara in Ireland, 6 months into their travels, to get the lowdown on what they’ve discovered so far and what happened to their $100 a day travel budget.  In this episode we discuss... Their lives as a Software Developer and working in the Telecom industry in Portland, OR. How they saved up enough money to retire in their early 40s. Why they decided to keep their house and rent it out while traveling. How they underestimated how much they were going to spend while traveling. The apps and travel tools that they use to make traveling easier and cheaper. Show Notes Travel the world with Bob and Fara at Candolatitude.com or on Facebook @CanDoLatitude. Podcasts that inspired Bob and Fara are Go Hunt Life (duh), Really Truly Living, Nomadtopia and Living Unconventionally.

Mac Bishop founded Wool & Prince to solve a problem of his own and the problem of minimalists around the world. He wanted comfortable wool clothing that was odor and wrinkle resistant, and looked good even if weeks went by between laundry day. It all started with him proving to his coworkers at his corporate job that he could go 100 straights days wearing the same wool shirt without washing it. His entrepreneurial pursuit kicked in and motivated him to quit the corporate job and launch his wool clothing company with an incredible Kickstarter campaign that went viral and raised over $300,000 in just 10 days. Listen on Apple Podcasts Even though he’s now a founder of a successful company he hasn’t lost his minimalist mentality and we talk about how it has actually helped him build his company.

Troy Hendershott has been traveling the world for over 2,000 straight days, that’s over 5 years. He has perfected the art of traveling slow and because of that, he has found creative ways to earn money along the way from managing hostels and teaching English down to editing menus for grammar mistakes in exchange for a free meal. Troy grew up in Denver and left a 12 year career in TV production working for one of Mark Cuban’s companies to pursue his dream of indefinite Global Budget Traveling. We also touch on the fact that he was born in South Korea, was adopted by his family in Denver and how he’s woven his travel into a search for his birth mother. I actually speak to Troy, ironically, while he was passing through Seoul South Korea and we talk about how that city deals with being less than 50 miles from the border of North Korea. "If you travel slow and don’t have a time limitation you are going to find ways and extremely creative ways to save money and possibly earn money to really enjoy these places to their fullest." Something else you will learn is that early on in his travels, he decided to ditch the travel books and rely completely on recommendations from people that he meets along the way. In this episode we discuss... His early career working for HDNet, the company founded by Mark Cuban. His experience working at over 500 live sporting events. What is his definition of Global Budget Traveling. How he planned on leaving his 12 year career in TV broadcast and production. Living out of a backpack for 5 years running. The creative ways he's earned money from managing hostels to teaching english. Why he decided to ditch the guide books for personal recommendations from fellow travelers. Paying less than $500/month rent in Seoul, South Korea. The tone of Seoul being only 50 miles from North Korea. The travel tools that he relies on for hotels, couch surfing, hostels and airplane tickets. The work and volunteer resources that he relies on to find his next gigs.

Katie Ford is all in but it took her reaching a defining moment in her life where she could no longer wear two uniforms. One uniform was her 20 year career as a Writer, Editor and Reporter for numerous high level magazines and newspapers and the 2nd uniform kept her awake at night. It gnawed at her night and day until she knew that this was to be her life’s mission. How does someone’s life mission turn, just like that? Everything changed for Katie in 2010 when she stepped into a woman’s prison in Lockhart Texas, and she started listening to the stories of these women. Up to this point she had been mentoring children of incarcerated inmates and had built up a lot of blame towards these people. These inmates were the ones that had made the mistakes which meant that they had abandoned their kids in the world outside of prison…right? Katie’s anger and blame melted away one traumatic story at a time. From that moment on, she knew what she wanted to do. It became her life’s mission to help these women break a lifetime of trauma by sharing their stories but Katie didn’t know the how. How she was going to do it. How was she going to pay for it and turn this into her new livelihood and career. She held the panic at bay, took the biggest chance of her life and left that first uniform behind. In this episode we discuss... Listening to these incarcerated women's stories about a lifetime of trauma including physical and sexual abuse. Realizing that these women were 'largely invisible'. Leaving a 20 year career as a Writer, Reporter and Editorial Director with multiple magazines and newspapers. What event led up to her ending her entire livelihood in the summer of 2016. Why not telling anyone gave her the courage to stick with her decision to resign. Holding her initial panic at bay and embracing the freedom, relief and opportunity. Developing the Healing Trauma program that heals through storytelling. Partnering up with American Youth Works to cut through the red tape of starting a nonprofit. Becoming the Executive Director of Truth Be Told. "I realized that one of the uniforms that I was wearing didn't fit anymore so I had to leave it behind."

Joe Hendricks is living the wandering lifestyle living out of an airstream and building his portfolio as a landscape photographer. Him and his wife and five year old son have been traveling the U.S. in an Airstream for the last year and a half.  Prior to this, they had a successful wedding photography business in Nashville a house and all the normal stuff when they went on a vacation visiting the National Parks out west. The switch flipped and hit Joe in his wandering heart.  He wanted to see the joy that he saw in his wife and son during that trip ALL of the time so within six months after returning to Nashville they had bought that Airstream, sold their house and everything in it, and they started their journey literally driving away from the closing on their house sale into their wandering lifestyle. "If you are considering this lifestyle, do it. It will change you forever." But it hasn't gone quite as planned. It's been a lot more difficult making a living as a photographer while on the road. Joe is completely transparent and shares exactly what they've been through, what they've done right what he would have done differently in the last year and a half. We discuss... What his family discovered during their vacation through the U.S. National Parks. What they were leaving behind in Nashville. How Joe still planned on being a wedding photographer back in Nashville. The mistakes that they made in the planning phase of exiting Nashville. How they were planning on paying for their travels. How they ended up in Texas. They are still living out of that Airstream trailer but it's not exactly where he had planned but Joe sticks to his goal of changing their lives forever by jumping in the Airstream to live out their wandering lifestyle.

Colin Wright is an author, podcaster, speaker and full-time traveler that set out to explore the world 4 months at a time but to do this he had to exile himself from his lifestyle in California. For the last 8 years he’s traveled to 60 different countries and all of the lower 48 states and he’s done this in 4 month increments. He truly enjoys the uncomfortable situations that his chosen lifestyle puts him in. Another interesting point to this is that the places that he moves to are chosen by his readers. They vote on his next destination and that’s where he goes to explore the world. But back in 2009 he was running his own branding studio in LA, working a crazy amount of hours and making a ton of cash when he took a hard look at his mentors. His life path was following theirs and realized they were miserable so inside 4 months he completely transformed his world and got on a plane leaving the US for the first time in his life. Where did he go? His readers said Argentina so that’s where he began. In this episode we discuss... Building a branding agency in his early 20s. Massively changing his life and lifestyle in 4 months. Starting his international travel without previously leaving the US. How that 4 month increment of time went on to define his way of living abroad. Allowing his readers to determine where he goes next. Balancing his extremes with his lifestyle of constant motion. Transitioning from client work to writing books for a living. The uncomfortable first 2 weeks in a new city. What he has learned from starting his podcast, Let's Know Things, 1 year ago. How he spends his time now balancing his writing, speaking and podcasting. Why he's chosen to spend time back in the US.

Karen King and her husband and two kids left their traditional lives in Australia 19 months ago and have since hit 23 countries house sitting, airbnbing and World Schooling. In this episode we dig into two specific areas: How have the kids adapted to a new way of learning and how are they paying for their adventures? What are the steps that she’s taken to transition their kids from a traditional school to learning on the road. An interesting point that she brings up is that for every 1 year a child is in a traditional school it will take them 1 month to get acclimated to a new way of learning and that timeframe also applies to the parents. What is World Schooling vs. traditional schooling? That second area that we get into is of course the money. 2-3 years ago they knew very little about making money online but it took a 7 week vacation and for Karen to read the 4 hour work week for the switch to flip and pointed her to an entirely new way to live. "Life on the road has been incredible and I wish I would have known about this 10 years earlier." In this episode we discuss... Health insurance and travel insurance. What are their monthly expenses? Cell service on the road in different countries. What company they use to have a permanent mailing address? What websites they choose to house sit in different countries? How they make money while traveling? How the kids have adapted and changed since traveling? What does "school" now entail for the kids?

Greg Denning and his family of 9 are living deliberately. He is a world traveler, mentor and a father of 7 kids. Him and his wife Rachel left their normal lives in Utah in 2007, packed up the then family of 6 in the car and drove south into Mexico and central America to embark on a journey that has taken them to 30 countries and 5 continents around the world. Their attempt at living deliberately hasn’t been easy and we get in to that too because 2 years after their launch, the housing crisis hit the US forcing them to come back and start over with nothing in bank and they really questioned if their vision of living deliberately around the globe was even possible. What they’ve found is yes, living deliberately is possible but it takes work. Greg is also a teacher. He teaches people how to transform their own lives but it’s not just talk. at one point in our conversation we go tactical on how he helps people in 3 very specific steps on how to change their situation and live a massive, extraordinary life. We dig into everything. How the kids have adjusted as the family has grown from 4 kids when they started to now 7 and what it means when his kids go to World School and the money, we hit that multiple times in our conversation. In this episode we discuss... What lead up to them packing up their car and moving to Mexico in 2007. How the Global Recession impacted them in 2009. Why they moved to the Dominican Republic in 2009 to live on the beach for a few hundred dollars a month. Why they decided to go international. How they initially paid for their travels. How Greg's profession has evolved into him mentoring, teaching and counseling parents and homeschooled children...all online. My conversation with Greg Denning on living life deliberately will eliminate the excuse of, "I have kids, I could never travel like that?"

Bobby White had an 18 year career going as a pilot flying corporate jets all over the world. He was livin’ the dream when one day he woke up with a horrible headache. That headache was actually a brain hemorrhage which forced him to surrender his pilot’s license.  His career and way of life ended just like that. Instead of feeling sorry for himself he sold everything he owned and bought a sailboat to embark on another one of his dreams of sailing the oceans. "You will never be ready. Just set a date and make it happen." Just one year ago, him and his friend Megan and their two Labradoodles jumped on that boat, sailed out of Galveston and started filming their journey and they’ve gone from zero to over 40,000 YouTube subscribers and now racking up over a million and a half views per month and along the way they are inspiring others to pursue dreams of their own. In this episode we discuss... Life as a corporate pilot. What lead up to the brain hemorrhage. What were his plans after surrendering his pilot's license. How he convinced Megan to jump on board. How he felt sailing out of Galveston on their own. How they built their YouTube channel to over 40,000 subscribers and 1.5 million monthly views in less than 1 year. What have been the most difficult parts of keeping the sailboat going. Maintenance Monday and all of the things that break on the sailboat. Bobby, Megan, Goose and Maverick will have you asking yourself. Are you ready? The answer will always be no and if you keep using that as an excuse, you will never take the leap.

In the conversation we cover government corruption, pharmaceutical drug addiction, cashing out his retirement, and his pursuit of living a simpler and happier life.

Sometimes I fantasize that all I own fits into one suitcase, and I have a remote job that I can do from anywhere. It seems like a nice, free, life, full of possibility. It also seems super stressful.But I don’t know anything about it. My friend, Todd, does. In 2010, Todd and his wife Alison sold everything they owned, packed up the remainder in 7 suit cases, and moved to Mexico.For 5 years. After 5 years, he’s back to the US, this time settling down in Austin, TX, where he’s running his own marketing agency.But that’s not why I’m talking to him today.Todd is on the show because he just completed 50 episodes of his podcast, Go Hunt Life, where he interviews people who’ve made drastic switches in their careers, learning how they did it, what they were or were not expecting, and how others can do the same. In this episode, I talk to Todd about how HE did it, what exactly people can do to get to a point where they can leave their jobs and live the life they want (spoiler: it’s not easy), and the best moments from his podcast. What’s my favorite part of this episode is that within 30 minutes of talking to Todd, I realized, oh my god, this life is possible for me.And it is for you as well. If you’re interested in this sort of life, check out Todd’s podcast, and these books4-hour work week by Tim FerrisVagabonding: The Art of Long-Term Travel by Rolf PottsGo Good They Can’t Ignore You by Cal NewportOh, and if you want to talk to Todd, you can contact him at tnevins@clickplacement.com.Enjoy.

I'm your Host, Todd Nevins of the Go Hunt Life podcast and I've interviewed 51 guests over the past year including world record holders, entrepreneurs, digital nomads, environmentalists, activists, minimalists, ultra-endurance athletes, travelers and overall life-hunting badasses. It’s been an incredible life redirecting ride that I have loved every step of the way. This episode is dedicated to you for listening and to all 51 of my guests so far that have allowed me to ask them questions about some of their most personal life decisions and then given me the privilege to share those stories. Pull the Ripcord. Go Hunt Life. I’ve learned more than I ever could have imagined and feel like I’m in the middle of getting my PhD on how to hunt life and I have each and every one of my guests to thank for that, so thank you. I asked fellow podcaster Moby from the Austin Fire Show to interview me about the ripcord moments and lightning strikes that I've personally experienced since launching the show, what I've learned along the way and what's next for the podcast. In this episode we discuss... The origin of Go Hunt Life. When 'pull the ripcord' started. Has the goal on launch day evolved over the last 12 months. Common themes that have bubbled up that have pushed people to pull the ripcord on the safe and normal life to pursue a life of passion. When is the timing right for someone to pull the ripcord, quit their job and reinvent their life? The biggest ripcords, lightning strikes and aha moments.  Thank you again to all of my guests for taking the time to let this podcaster pepper you with questions. Your honesty, generosity and trust is immensely appreciated and will never be forgotten.  -Todd Show Notes Check out this awesome podcast from Moby of the Austin Fire Show and thanks Moby for interviewing me.

Burton Cleveland has built a healthy food retail store for pets and a neighborhood resource for anyone wanting to keep their dogs and cats healthy with high-quality food and snacks that are all free of corn, soy, wheat or by-products but this is an entirely new career for him. A few years ago he was living the corporate sales life traveling 50% of the time and selling legal services to law firms and was trained as a paralegal. He reached a point in his career where he didn't think he was in control of his success and meeting his professional goals so he made the jump from employee to retail entrepreneur to take more control over his life and financial situation. He quit his job but didn't have a definitive plan on what to do next in his career and professional life. "You should just do it, you only live one time."  His first step was interviewing people that he respected and another entrepreneur, a book store owner, helped him fine-tune his decision. To make his jump into the pet store successful, he turned to mentors within the industry and looked to friends in Dallas that had a similar business model. He has stuck the landing and launched Prime Pet Austin, a neighborhood resource and pet store, in December 2015. We dive deep into what exactly it has taken for Burton to make a transition from an employee with a salary, benefits and perceived safety to retail entrepreneur in the world of pet food competing against big box retailers. In this episode we discuss... What steps did you go through to start the transition from corporate employee to retail entrepreneur? How did he start learning about healthy pet food since he didn't have any professional experience in this industry? What happened on opening day? How close have you been to reaching your initial financial projections? What does the term 'neighborhood resource' mean and how does that impact your business? What is the biggest mistake that you've made in the first 16 months of being in business? What organizations govern the pet food industry? How do you band together with other businesses in your neighborhood and in your industry to help the business? How does a typical week look like being a retail store owner? What advice would you give someone right now sitting in traffic that is considering making a major life change and go from employee to retail entrepreneur? Burton brought up the term and mentality called 'community over competition' and how much of his success has been dependent on help from the other businesses in his neighborhood and how they all have embraced each other's businesses and success. Burton went from the corporate life where he felt he didn't have control of his success to now being in complete control of the success of his business and financial success but it's still impacted by others.

Ian Usher is a minimalist traveler living and traveling all over the world but a few years ago he was just like everyone else. He owned a house, a car, a jet ski, a motorcycle and his home was packed full of stuff that didn't need so he decided to put his entire life for sale on eBay. The global media jumped on the story after the bid reached $2.2 million dollars and his story took off. The problem was that the huge bid came from a 15 year old...that didn't have $2.2 million. Not a problem though, he went to the next highest bidders but it turns out they really weren't interested either. The auction closed and Ian didn't have any legitimate buyers for his life. Dejected and without the money that he expected, he set out anyway to accomplish his goal. Not just one goal though. Ian set out to check off of his bucket list 100 goals in 100 weeks all over the world.  6 months into his travels, his house eventually sold and then the big call came from an agent in Hollywood. Disney was interested in buying the rights to his story. They put up $20,000 for an 18 month option, renewed it for another 18 months at an additional $20,000 and in the end payed him $240,000 for his story. Ian took his windfall and did want any normal person would do. He bought a Caribbean island off of the coast of Panama. In this episode we cover... How much was he trying to sell his entire life for? What happened when the global media companies started reaching out to him? How did his plan fail when the auction closed? How did he persevere through the disappointment and lack of money to fund his trip? How did the Disney deal go down? What's it like to buy an island and build a sustainable, minimalist life on a Caribbean island? How they now live house sitting all over the world? What are the down sides of house sitting? How do they make money as tutors teaching English to people in China? My conversation ends with a great view into his life as a minimalist traveler. They are going to South Africa and then Barbados for the next few months and continue to teach English for less than 50 hours a MONTH to keep their dream funded.

Andrew Townsend is 60 years old and he can outrun you and me but 6 years ago he couldn’t run a step. 6 years ago he was 70 pounds overweight, eating and drinking too much and bound to a desk. It had gotten so bad that he was labeled an ‘invalid’ because of his battle with arthritis. He had no one to blame but himself and how he had chosen to live his life up to that point so he made a choice to change. His life transformation started with one step. "I tried blaming everyone else but I had no one to blame but myself." This timeline is amazing. 2011 he couldn’t run a step and in 2016 he ran across the Spanish Pyrenees. They are the mountains in the Tour de France that look impossible. He ran over those for 525 miles from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean with an elevation change of 100,000 feet. Imagine climbing Mt Everest 4 times and he did it in 27 days. So obviously a lot changed from 2011 and we get into all of it. When we recorded this conversation he had just gotten back to his home in Reading England from a trip where he ran across Italy. He is a running beast and an inspiration for anyone thinking that it’s too late in life to make a major life change. In this episode we discuss… What does it mean to be an invalid living with arthritis? Did he blame the disease from choosing him or himself for living his life that brought the disease upon himself? The treadmill at his new gym breaking which forced him to get outside and run. In 2014 running a marathon a month in 12 different European Countries. In 2015 running 8 marathons in 8 countries in 8 days driving between races and a world first. In 2016 completing a self-supported traverse of the Spanish Pyrenees running from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean, 525 miles with total elevation of more than 100,000 feet and you did this in 27 days. What his life transformation looks like today and where he is headed next.

My guests today are Sarah and Patrick Houston are not like “most couples” and they are not “nesting”.

Bill Sycalik had the stark life re-evaluation when he said, "my lifestyle wasn't FEEDING me, it was feeding ON me." and needed a lifestyle reboot. He was living the New York City life. He was a successful management consultant living the experience riding the subway into Manhattan, working 12 hours a day then hitting happy hours, restaurants and live music. Bill quit his NY life in the summer of 2016 to go on a pursuit of self discovery through a transformational lifestyle reboot. He re-lives his feelings of being relieved to quit his job but also him being afraid of walking out on the only life that he had ever known. His comfort bubble was exploding and he was the one doing it. What the hell am I doing? His current profession? Chief Running Officer for his own initiative, the National Parks Marathon Project, where he is running a marathon in all 59 US national parks. His self supported and self funded quest to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the national parks service. How many parks has he run so far?  32 and he’s doing all of this out of his car. Driving from park to park, camping out of his tent that’s actually on the roof rack of his car and the running. Biggest mental and physical challenges? Him breaking the mindset and the physical and mental purging of his old life and to stop worrying about what other people think but he admits that it’s not an easy habit to break. Bill still struggles, but not as much recently, with the thought of…What the hell am I doing? This conversation drills into what it takes to reach a point in life when everything is going good and there is no logical reason to make a change yet a change is drastically needed. That was Bill's motivation to do a lifestyle reboot.

Nancy Sathre-Vogel and her husband were career teachers when her two 10 year old boys came up with a plan. The family had always done bike rides together and even long bike rides but nothing like this cycling journey. They were on the pursuit of a cycling adventure and a modern day exploration of cultures and countries. This was their motto: "What would you do if you were not afraid?" - Nancy Sathre-Vogel: Author, Cyclist, Teacher and Mother. The family put a plan together for them to sell everything they owned, rent out their house and ride their bikes from Prudhoe Bay Alaska to the southern tip of Argentina, 17,285 miles. They were hoping to do it in 2 1/2 years, it took them 3. They camped most of the nights and also relied on friends and strangers for shelter and food. This conversation is unique for a few different reasons compared to most of my other guests because Nancy and her family had a definitive end point. The tip of Argentina. This dramatically changed the conversation when we discuss this part of the journey. In this episode we cover… Bear attacks. Logistically how does a family of 4 bike 17,000 miles. What was it like pedaling out on that first morning. What was she most afraid of? How did they plan to eat, sleep and have enough water.

What does a family do with an infinite number of options? Getting back into a normal life in Utah. How did the boys, now 13 years old, handling getting back to a normal routine? Nancy Sathre-Vogel has written a book about their journey titled, Changing Gears: A Family Odyssey to the End of the World.

Dave Weiner was the CEO of an international software company and his technology career had been cranking for over a decade. He was flying all over the country, meeting with clients and he had built the business up to 285 employees. So what he do? He pulled the ripcord on his life as a technology CEO and quit, and he founded a bicycle company. And not just any bicycle company. A commuter bike company. He set out to produce bikes that were comfortable and dependable, that didn’t require a lot of the normal maintenance and rarely got flat tires. Dave wanted to validate his idea and see what the market thought so he turned to Kickstarter. He set a goal of $30,000 and in less than 30 days, he’d raised $550,000. His idea was officially validated and he launched Priority Bicycles. "I wanted to make low maintenance bicycles. I wanted them to be beautiful and I wanted them to be affordable." Now almost 3 years into it, he’s cranking, literally. He’s still a CEO but he’s the CEO of Priority Bicycles based in New York City. In this episode we discuss… Him feeling unfulfilled as his technology company grew and being further away from his customers. Always being the ‘bike guy’ and the person that his friends turned to when they had questions about bicycles. Filling a need for Joe Consumer wanting to ride their bike to work and get there on time. Going global to find the right manufacturer and providing bicycles at the right price point. Turning to Kickstarter and raising $550,000 in 30 days.

If you’ve ever been let go from a job and walked out the door wondering, oh man what am I going to do now, Thom’s been there. On April 1st 2009 he was caught in a not-so-funny April Fools Reality when 50% of the employees at his company were laid off and he was one of them. The recession had hit and he called his wife that day and said, “Honey, I’m out of a job.” He used this turn of events to pursue a dream. A dream of being a Professional Speaker and added in being a Professional Podcaster. “If you ever feel like you are in a rut, go interview 50 successful people." His profession is a unique one to say the least. Walk into a company conference where everyone there knows each other and be the Master of Ceremonies, the Conference Catalyst and the life of the party. He brings enthusiasm, wit and humor to events from 12 people to thousands and he’s proven since that fateful day on April 1st, he’s pretty good at it. We discuss his journey to being a professional speaker and his recommendations to others that have been laid off or want to quit their career to follow a completely new path. The conversation is full of takeaways including… If you ever feel like you are in a rut, go interview 50 successful people. Be gutsier and care less about what anyone else thinks. The paradox of potential. The turning point of professional speaking when you hit your 300th speech. What happens when you are giving a speech to thousands of people and the power goes out. Writers write and speakers speak. If you want to be a Professional Speaker, then go speak. The relation between his career choice and Sisyphus that said, “I wake up every day and the rock is at the bottom of the hill.” Thom is also a successful podcaster and host of Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do and he shares how his career totally changed after he interviewed 200 successful people.

In the early 2000’s, Chad Latham was an entrepreneur running his own technology company working as a Computer Technician serving local businesses in Tacoma, WA. He had been into computers since the 3rd grade and was following his passion helping companies with their technology challenges. That was his day job. At night, he was growing and selling marijuana. Living a double life as he puts it. One night he was caught moving over 2000 marijuana plants and growing equipment, and was arrested. His case was handed over to the DEA. He took a plea deal to serve 15 years in federal prison in order to avoid a potential life sentence if his case was put before a judge. He left behind his wife and 9 year old son. “I realized that this was an entirely different stage of my life from this day forward. That nothing would ever be the same again.” – Chad Latham Chad was horrified at the thought of wasting his time doing nothing behind bars so he focused on education and poured himself into learning everything he could about computers, computer programming and web development. In December 2015, it was announced that President Obama had commuted 97 sentences of people in prison and Chad’s was one of them. After serving 10 years, Chad was released. 2 weeks after he was free, he walked into a web development immersion program at Galvanize in Seattle Washington and spent the next 6 months expanding his computer programing skills and learning to be a specialized Web Developer. He completed the program and when we recorded this conversation, Chad had already received an offer from a major technology company and was starting his new role and the next chapter of his life a few days later. This is an incredible story of someone that chose to make the best of a horrible situation and has redefined his life through persistence and education.

Today I have a conversation with entrepreneur Bryan Thomas. A few years ago he and his wife Amelia had an idea to create a mobile app that would allow kids to design their own indoor playhouse. Design a castle or a gingerbread house all on an iPad mobile app. The child could choose to put a window next to the door, a drawbridge on both sides of the castle or a chimney right in the middle. The playhouse would then be built to their exact specifications and delivered to their doorstep for them to assemble and play in right there in the living room 4 days later. The idea was their lightbulb, ripcord moment over 2 years ago. Since then Bryan and his wife and Co-Founder Amelia Cosgrove have both quit their real jobs, raised venture capital and are building the startup, PopupPlay that is empowering kids to build their own toys from as early as age three. “Hustle is my friend.” – Bryan Thomas, Co-Founder of PopUp Play So if as a kid, you built a playhouse out of cardboard boxes in your living room or as an adult, you had an incredible business idea but thought, somebody has to be doing this already, this is your episode. We discuss… The exact moment when him and Amelia came up with the idea of kids building their own playhouses. The emotional responses from their friends about building this mobile app and kid’s experience. Building a startup based on the principle of being a good person and a caring company first. Going through the Techstars 3 month incubator program in Austin. Scaling the entire process from the mobile app features to production and distribution. How they are teaching and inspiring the next generation of architects and engineers. The next steps of partnering up with vehicle companies. Genius huh? Yep, why didn’t we think of that? Well, you will learn by the end of this conversation that that phrase means nothing.

Dr. Alexis Shields was practicing Naturopathic Medicine in Portland and had built a successful practice and career but the book Four Hour Work Week motivated her and her husband to close the practice and take it virtual. This meant that they could travel the world and live anywhere. We catch up to her from her apartment in Lisbon Portugal 3 years after leaving the US to build her virtual company and virtual lifestyle. What is the definition of a Naturopathic Doctor? In the US, NDs are trained as primary care physicians that focus on a patient's functional issues. Through a weird series of events in her life she learned the value and power behind treating diseases through diet and lifestyle choices as opposed to prescription medications. The Naturopathic path also coincided with her passion for traveling but it's taken a lot of work to get her virtual business and her virtual lifestyle in sync. This path has taken her to Thiland, Vietnam, Nepal, Berlin, Croatia and now Lisbon Portugal. In this episode we discuss... What steps lead her to close her successful practice to follow a non-traditional path. How the perception of natural medicine in the US differs from other countries. Ending her traditional trajectory and the risks associated with this decision. How she was inspired by 'virtual nomads' and virtual entrepreneurs that figured out a way to live anywhere and still earn income. The licenses that are required for her to practice natural medicine. The system that she's built that allows her to treat patients from all over the world. The laws that govern her industry. How her virtual lifestyle has evolved over the 3 years since leaving her traditional career path. If you've ever dreamed of living abroad and living the nomadic, expat lifestyle then this episode will definitely inspire you and maybe motivate you to quit that 9 to 5 job to follow your own entrepreneurial path.

Scott Calame, Founder of TexAgave, has made a career out of reinventing his career. He has been an attorney, an Adjunct Professor, an ad agency executive and a freelance copy writer but he has just ripcorded out to not only start a new company but he’s actually starting an entirely new industry. Scott is now Distiller. TexAgave is a blue agave spirit that is similar tequila but is made in Texas, not in Jalisco Mexico, so it can’t be called tequila. We get a behind the scenes tour of what it takes to found a company where the first step in selling the product is educating the consumer, one consumer at a time. Luckily, he’s made a living with words as a writer so his tag line which speaks volumes is, ‘make your margarita with a liquor made in Texas.’ He’s certainly aware of the risks but he’s following his passion no matter what and what’s interesting that even though he’s only been in business for less than a year, he’s already introduced a new product and actually introducing a 3rd product a few weeks after we spoke. We discuss... How a home brewing passion exploded into a new career. Seeing his product on the shelf for the first time. The difference between a blue agave spirit and tequila. Self-funding his startup. What it takes to be approved as a distilled spirit company. Filing 115 forms a year with the State and Federal agencies to get approved.

Aaron always had the dream of pulling the ripcord and moving to a small town but moving outside of Texas was never on his radar.

This is the story behind the Go Hunt Life podcast. I sit down with my wife, Allison Nevins, to discuss our ripcord moments and what has brought me to launch the Go Hunt Life podcast. It was 2009 and the US economy was tanking like crazy. We were on a vacation in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico and had the biggest conversation of our lives. We had been married for 7 years, both working in Dallas, Allison in a corporate job that she was becoming disheartened with and I was working online so I could really work from anywhere. We looked at each other and said, "you know what, let's explore something different. Let's move to a foreign country and embark on a completely different path." So we did. "We sold everything we owned down to 7 suitcases and got on the plane with one-way tickets to Mexico...and our Spanish sucked." We spend the next year and a half researching places to relocate to and found Merida, Mexico. Within 8 months of visiting Merida in the spring of 2010, we had sold everything we owned down to 7 suitcases, got on a plane with our dog Deuce and plunged into the unknown...and it was freaking awesome. We bought a house in Merida, completely rehabbed it, met friends from all over the world with strange and ballsy stories that honestly put our little ripcord moment to shame. They inspired us, they shaped us and they taught us to keep pursuing a path less traveled. We lived in Merida for 5 years and decided to ripcord again. We sold our house with almost everything in it and moved to Austin, Texas in March. Now in Austin for 4 months, the Go Hunt Life podcast has gone from idea to launch. I'm interviewing people that have also chosen a path in life that is uncommon, sometimes scary and always unknown. Entrepreneurs, Free Spirits and Bad Asses that have followed their hearts to live their own lives. In this episode we discuss.. The most important conversation of our lives on a beach in Mexico. Allison has a corporate life meltdown and the first domino falls. Selling everything we owned down to 7 suitcases and jumping out of normal suburbia. Being homeless and on the road for 2 months and loving it. Our entry into a foreign country and not speaking the language, but having incredible friends to help us make a soft landing. Allison co-founds El Estudio, a home decor and fun stuff retail store. Figuring out a house purchase, rebuild and house sale in Mexico. Saying goodbye to Merida and hello to Austin. Launching Go Hunt Life. Founding TexMex Fun Stuff.
