If you’ve read Under30CEO for a while, you know by now, I put an end to that noise, and now take pride in doing my own thing. After spending…

This week our team traveled back to the very glacier where it all started for another dose…
Hey Under30CEO, As most of you know a lot of what we talk about on Under30CEO is creating businesses that not only make money but also make a positive impact on the world. Some of you know the story, but before we started our travel company Under30Experiences, I took a random trip to Iceland that changed everything for me. It was during this trip that I examined how…
I know what you’re thinking: “Oh great, another what I learned traveling the world, detached from real life” post. At this point, we’ve heard all the cliches: “travel changes you,” “helps you seek new perspectives,” “gets you out of your comfort zone…” But here’s the truth: For centuries, man has had incredible curiosity and desire to explore the world… and man still loves writing in moleskin travel journals.…
It was only day four that the feelings of responsibility and guilt began setting in. I was halfway around the world, settling into life in Southeast Asia. It was a completely new reality. The culture was intoxicating and ready to learn more about this exotic world. The purpose of the trip was simply: to travel, work, and live the Freedom Lifestyle to the fullest. As you might guess, this isn’t…
The days leading up to a business trip can be stressful, with professionals scrambling to gather the files and equipment they need for meetings, as well as packing clothing and personal items. In addition to this, travelers are also struggling to stay on top of daily business matters. It’s easy to see how small details can be overlooked. Note-taking apps like Evernote and Microsoft OneNote have become…
Imagine a day at the office. It may not be hard to do, since you’re probably reading this at the office right now. You’re surrounded by the lifeless stone-gray walls of your cubicle, the buzz of the fluorescent lamps above you and the glow of your computer screen in front of you. If you’re lucky you can get out of there at five, sit through an hour of traffic and…

In Nepal, I had the opportunity to interview fantastic people. Today, I confess I was little bit anxious about interviewing Shailee. I had already read a lot about her, we had already had the opportunity to talk a few days before our interview and I knew she was a really inspiring woman. The interview lasted practically twice as long as usual but I was really curious and Shailee’s…
The most exhilarating realization happens when you accept your role in the world. Recently, on an Under30Experiences adventure in Peru, a theme emerged to help me understand myself better: In order to carry yourself with self-confidence in travel, your personal life, or your career, one needs to tackle a daunting task that makes many people squirm: self-reflection.
