EPoP 021: Chris Guillebeau on Going Big, Guinea-Bissau, and the $10 Rule

Since starting this podcast, I’ve dreamed of having on Chris Guillebeau, New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and one of the few people who has traveled to every country in the world.

And today, it’s a reality!

If you’re interested in creating a lifestyle that is full of passion and purpose, Chris is the man to talk to.

10 years ago, he admittedly wasn’t sure what direction his life should take.  Since then, he’s…

Built an incredible online community…

Traveled to every country in the world…

Written a New York Times Bestseller…

…and hosted a conference for 3,000 of the world’s most motivated and inspired world changers (which I’ve attended and written about here).

The Dos Equis “most interesting man in the world” has nothing on Chris!

He’ll touch on how he’s been able to do all that as well as geek out on travel planning in this amazing, informative, and inspiring interview.
