Before starting Under30Experiences, which you might know from episode #17 with Lindsey Dukes, Matt was the co-founder of Under30CEO.com. Under30CEO is a site that helps young entrepreneurs get the tools, resources, information, guidance and more to successfully run their own companies. In 2016, after about 8 years and 30 million page views, Matt and his co-founder Jared O'Toole sold Under30CEO to Rich20Something. Part of the reason for the sale was so Matt and Jared could work full-time on U30X. U30X provides authentic cultural trips and experiences for small groups of people generally between the ages of 21-35. The company is growing fast and was named #801 on the 2018 Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing private companies in America. Matt is also the host of the Live Different Podcast, which focuses on inspiring conversations about cutting edge mental and physical techniques to help people live beyond the status quo. The podcast aims to help people grow their business, get in better shape, perform at their peak, and have fun in life. To date, the podcast has 139 episodes, over 50 5-star ratings on iTunes, and incredible guests like Gary Arndt, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, AJ Vaynerchuk, Arthur & Pauline Frommer, and Tucker Max. Beyond his podcast, Matt's work is published on Forbes, Inc. Magazine, Huffington Post, Reuters, Under30CEO and other notable sites. Matt travels and lives throughout the world as a digital nomad, hosts his own yoga and fitness retreats, and is a shareholder of the Green Bay Packers.

Consequently, we are also impacting how companies tailor to our styles and help us explore the world. On today's episode we are joined by Lindsey Dukes (@dukeslindsey), whose life-changing travels started with one of these companies, Under30Experiences (U30X). Not only did Lindsey take multiple trips with Under30Experiences, but was later hired as a full-time marketing employee. In addition, she now helps with building community and leading experiences in places like Bali, Ireland, Italy, Spain, France, and Thailand. However, Lindsey's life was not always so adventurous and global. For a while she worked in a corporate job, lived a “checkbox” life, and kept her true passions as hobbies. From the outside, there was no reason to think she wasn't happy or fulfilled. In reality, she couldn't shake the feeling that this lifestyle wasn't her truth. She believed the world had much more to offer and explore. Facing these feelings and telling her true desires to the universe, the world presented her with an opportunity to leave her job. Lindsey took her chance, booked trips to Bali and Iceland with Under30Experiences, and transformed her life. Our conversation hits on a wide-range of subjects, from her experiences with U30X to deeper life topics. I truly think there's something for everyone in here. Thank you for listening and enjoy!

Want to make the Inc. 5000 list? Be more community-minded. Matt Wilson Cofounded Under30Experiences on the basic premise that young adults should get out and see more of the world. In 5 years, U30X has grown to a multi-million dollar organization, most recently making the Inc. 5000, and being awarded the #1 Fastest Growing Travel Company, with 70% of customers making repeat purchases! I've personally traveled on 3 different U30X trips, and as I've sat back and observed their growth, I am constantly amazed at how well they have built a COMMUNITY around travel. Matt joins today from his home in Costa Rica, returning to the show for a 3rd time (he was the first ever guest of this podcast in 2015), and in this conversation he pulls back the curtain and shares tips on how Under30Experiences has achieved such explosive growth with zero outside investment, on the backs of their customers, who they truly view as community members. By complete accident, this caps off a run of 3 straight episodes all about customers.Get episode updates, full show notes, and strategies to build your startup's hype by joining the Hypeman tribe at www.startuphypeman.com.
