Chris Guillebeau has long been a hero and mentor of mine since I first received The Art of Non-Conformity for Christmas in 2011 and started learning how to Travel Hack. I also stole the first two words of that book for my own brand!
During a lifetime of self-employment that included a four-year commitment as a volunteer executive in West Africa, Chris visited every country in the world (193 in total) before his 35th birthday. Since then he has modeled the proven definition of an entrepreneur: “Someone who will work 24 hours a day for themselves to avoid working one hour a day for someone else.â€
Chrisâ€s first book, The Art of Non-Conformity, was translated into more than twenty languages. His second book, The $100 Startup, was a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, selling more than 300,000 copies worldwide. His latest book, The Happiness of Pursuit, was published in September 2014 and was also a New York Times bestseller.
Every summer in Portland, Oregon, Chris hosts the World Domination Summit, a gathering of creative, remarkable people with thousands in attendance. Chris is also the founder of Pioneer Nation, Unconventional Guides, the Travel Hacking Cartel, and numerous other projects.
In this episode, Chris is talking about finding the work you were meant to do. Â He takes us through his own career and loads of other examples from how to find mentors to working with the renaissance mindset.
