If you do not love your work, you will always get beaten by the people who do.

The people who naturally "nerd out" over the smallest details, who read more about it on their time off...

Find something you enjoy if you want to be great at it.
Something that lights you on fire.

In trip design, I'm trying to do a better job of letting travelers, not the travel industry, be the arbiters of what makes a trip great.

#LifeInTheTropics
One year ago, my wife and I bought nearly 20 acres of mid-altitude rainforest in Colombia.

No road signs. No cell signal. Just a gut feeling and a jungle property.

We had no idea what we were doing.

Flaws and imperfections are human.
The attraction of art is its humanity.
Travel is like art.
When it’s too planned, machine like… it doesn’t hit.
It becomes soulless.
I like it imperfect.

Storydoing.
It’s time to leave storytelling behind and embrace storydoing.
Let’s do more than tell a story.

To be a world-class surfer, you move to where the best waves are, e.g., Hawaii. I founded a creative agency in Colombia because it's the most creative place I've ever been...and to recruit talent like Ed.
