Live from the Live Better recording studio! Bret and Jason are here this week with Andy Lederman Founder + CEO of Bucket Listers. 

Fueled by a passion for adventure and frustrated by the void of a reliable source to find great things to do, Andy started Chicago Bucket List to keep track of the best experiences in the city to share with family and friends. Shortly thereafter, friends of friends began to follow and soon the community was in the tens of thousands. Recognizing the mega-trend of discovery moving to social, Bucket Listers seized the opportunity to expand and has become the trusted source for experienced hungry millennials looking for new and unique things to do around the world. Today Bucket Listers curated guides reach millions of explorers and inspire adventures-big and small-every day.

Listen in as Bret and Jason discuss with Andy Lederman how he turned his side hustle into a reality and became a strong business leader by always keeping an eye on the North Star.
