Joining me today is someone who is the co-founder and CEO of Trip Scout, who traveled back and forth to Europe by himself as a 9-year-old, who was called “the modern-day Marco Polo” by Forbes and who now, like myself, is traveling with two little ones, Konrad Waliszewski from Trip Scout.
Do you allow fear to dictate your choices? Are you too scared to take the first step? My dear friend, Ruth Soukup, author of Living Well, Spending Less & Do It Scared, creator of the Elite Blogging Academy, & host of the Do It Scared podcast, is joining me today to discuss fear, struggles, and building your dream lifestyle. Courage isn’t an absence of fear but the drive to continue moving forward despite the fear & that works in life and entrepreneurship and Ruth is the guru of it all.

I am stoked to be talking today with my buddy, Jaime Atkinson from The EntrepreneurJunkie.co because I am extremely proud of his journey, his passion for entrepreneurship, and his unflinching honesty.
Today, we dive into his life story which includes the epic curveball that started him down this path, how The Paradise Pack helped launch him into the location independent lifestyle, and how he has navigated through the ups and downs of figuring out what works and what really doesn’t in his businesses. Jaime is a powerhouse of truth and is not afraid to be open about everything when it comes to his life in business so you will definitely walk away today knowing that you can do this and that your mess may end up being your message.

Brian Lofrumento is well known for his business podcast & book – Wantrepreneur to Entrepreneur and this year he’s also launching a new course to The Paradise Pack first!
We chat about your MOST valuable resource, and why you DON’T need a business idea to start a business!
On Tuesday Bryan gave us the skinny on how he created CorkSharing, but today we’re going to talk about the business itself.
But before we get to the benifits of CorkSharing, both for the consumer, and for the wineries themselves, we listen to some AWESOME stories from GetMyBoat.com and some of the great things people have been able to do with the service.
We also chat about how to start a business by solving your own problems, the differences between self-discovery and researching (and why they’re both awesome) and ask Bryan to share some of his favorite destinations around the globe.
And what good episode wouldn’t end with a travel mishap?!
This is Part 2 of a 2 part interview. To listen to part one, where we discuss more details about creating your own business and GetMyBoat.com click here!
