LL013: An Interview with Scott Brills

by 2 Comments

In the thirteenth episode of the Live Limitless podcast I chat with Scott Brills of ScottBrills.com.

I met Scott for the first time at World Domination Summit through a mutual friend and have since spent a week with him in the deserts of Nevada for Burning Man. As an avid traveller myself, I loved listening to all the adventures Scott has packed into his life and as an entrepreneur I was interested in how he funded everything.

After being accepted in a year-long work/study program in Japan straight out of high school, Scott’s thirst for travel began. Not to long after that, Scott started a web design company, which funded his incredible lifestyle for ten years.  While he still does consulting for tech companies, his main focus is building up Pamoja Safaris; a new company he co-founded with a partner in Tanzania, Africa.

In this episode, we talk about:
  • How Scott has supported his travelling lifestyle for the last 10 years
  • Scotts new safari company in Tanzania, Africa
  • Scotts incredible rickshaw race coming up soon
  • Attending conferences and how to connect with people
  • World Domination Summit and not approaching people as a fan
  • His favourite books and plans for SE Asia travel
  • Scotts advice for living limitless
  • And MUCH more…

Jumping Out of a Plane Without a Parachute

by 2 Comments

Made you look.

What did you think you were going to read? A new form of skydiving? suicide?

You know what I actually think made you click on this post?

Crazy ass risk. A leap. A bold thing to do with ones life.

Let’s face it. Most of us don’t take enough risks. We play it safe. We conform.

Why?

Now, of course, jumping out of a plane without a parachute is stupid. It’s not really a risk in my eyes – it’s just plain suicide and makes no sense at all.

But why don’t we take more liveable risks? Risks that make us live limitless.

Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Jon Krakauer from Into the Wild.

We only have one life. We don’t get stronger as we age. We’re strong now.

In today’s world with endless opportunities and connections to the entire world, why conform and sit steady as we watch others live remarkable lives… [Read more…] about Jumping Out of a Plane Without a Parachute

LL 012: A Live Limitless Interview with the Empire Flippers

by 4 Comments

In the twelfth episode of the Live Limitless podcast I chat with Joe Magnotti & Justin Cooke from EmpireFlippers.com.

Justin and Joe are two guys from the U.S. who decided they wanted to start their own business and move to a developing country. They both craved the sense of adventure that only travel can provide but had to figure out a way to make it happen. After leaving their management positions in America, they rented a house in the Philippines and started building what is now called Empire Flippers; a company that allows them to build targeted niche sites and sell them to investors. Not only did they take their new business from $30 per month to $200,000 during the year of 2012 but they also give away all their tips and “secrets” for free at their site.

In this episode, we talk about:
  • Empire Flippers and what it’s all about
  • What made them want to leave the U.S. and move to the Philippines
  • Whether they had any doubts
  • Whether they think niche sites are a good way for people to get started in online business
  • Whether their mindset has changed since moving to a developing country
  • What led them to choosing “niche sites” as part of their business model
  • The “dare” that ended up turning into a sold-out boxing arena with Joe in the ring
  • And MUCH more…

A new vision for the blog & an interview with Matt Koenig of Matt Koenig photography

by 5 Comments

As for the vision for the blog, I have decided to focus more on what I am good at: Adventure and trying new things. After talking to many people about my passions and things I have already accomplished, I have been told that turning myself from a shy conserved person into a thrill seeking, world traveling, throw myself into uncomfortable situations kind of person is what interests people the most. They also ask me how I did it which made me realize other people like me are out there and looking for help to get more adventure into their lives. That’s where I come in and that’s where A World of Inspiration comes in. I changed the “About” section to reflect this. I hope you all still enjoy it and follow me. The type of posts will still be inspirational and won’t differ to much from what they have been.

So on we go!

A few months ago, I came across a site called www.mattkoenigphotography.com. After contacting him, I found out that he is working a work time job but trying to turn his passion for photography into a full-time business. Matt has some great values and I love that he is trying to make a go out of his passion rather than conforming to daily job routine. He also has a wife and kids which makes it even more challenging. That’s what life is about though. Challenging yourselves to constantly improve your situation whether increasing cash flow, quality of life, or anything else you feel needs to be improved.

Matt and I did an interview about his quest for a location independent lifestyle developed around his passion. Check it out! [Read more…] about A new vision for the blog & an interview with Matt Koenig of Matt Koenig photography
