In November 2012, Riley and Ally went on a 24-country trip over 9 months with their parents. Today, along with their parents, they encourage other families to travel, see the world and pursue their own dreams through their website, TheCourageVibe.com.
At the time of the trip, Riley was 16 years old and Ally was 11. The family purchased one-way tickets to Australia, and after that, had no exact plans on what they were going to do.
“We had taken the first step, and we were going to let things work themselves out accordingly”
Riley says that it didn’t sink in what they doing until several months into the trip.
“It was surreal, and a lot of fun. It really showed us what open intention could bring.”
In the 6 months leading up to the trip, the family discussed various ideas of where they might go. They purchased a large Ikea map of the world to post pins on the places they thought they might like to visit. Once on the trip they asked people the met in hostels, and locals, opinions on where to go
“It was the most organic and fun way to do it because we got other people’s flairs, which exposed us to new opportunities we wouldn’t have even considered”
Riley considers himself the “last holdout” in the family, as he originally didn’t want to go and leave his friends in high school. He says the excitement of what he would miss far outweighed the nervousness and any concerns he had.
The most memorable places to visit for them were Cambodia and Peru. They say that the people they met along the way were the most incredible part of the experience.
Both of them picked up the most language in Turkey, while staying with a local family for a month.
“Because we chose to immerse ourselves in cultures, the learning curve in which we achieved the languages was exponential”
Riley took online courses while travelling, applying the knowledge he was learning on subjects such as theology.
“It wasn’t until I saw my education applied that I started seeing myself as a student of life”
When Riley and Ally share their experiences with others, they keep the conversation as informal as possible, so people will feel comfortable asking questions.
“That’s what prepared us to take the trip. We were curious.”
Riley believes that the process of figuring out what is important to each individual is what motivates kids. Through this, they realize that life isn’t “one size fits all.” He believes that kids are taking advantage of today’s technology to connect with others and expand their horizons.
On the issue of teenagers and social media, he feels that kids need to surround themselves with the right people, in the right places, and they need to be proud of what they produce online.
Both Riley and Ally are entrepreneurs. Ally created a book to help girls find a style that works for them, and Riley previously founded a financial education corporation for millennial. He stepped away from this venture, as travel is his passion and he realized it would keep him ground in San Francisco. He now is in Portland, OR, working with start-ups in the travel industry providing marketing and consulting services.
Ally and her parents are travelling to the Dominican Republic to scout out places for their Courage Journeys, and Riley is travelling to South East Asia on behalf of a local start up to do market validation studies. In April, the formal Courage Journeys are taking place (see “INTERVIEW LINKS” for website).

Jamon Glover is an aspiring speaker, husband and father of 4. He believes that everyone has something great to give, and he wants to help us realize our potential.
Jamon’s first recognition of him wanting to be something came from his community pastor, and his uncle, who was a unionized sanitation worker out of New York. They were both respected by others and always giving.
“I wanted to impact people’s lives the way they did”
Jamon was born with a birth defect when his pregnant mother was in a severe automobile accident. This caused him to be ridiculed by his peers. His grandmother saw this through the years and reminded him one time that “everybody has their own cross to bear.” She told him storms come to make us stronger, which builds character and integrity.
“(Storms) give you strength, but more importantly, experience”
Both of his sons were born with issues. His oldest son was born large, which strained the ligaments in his shoulder. When he began to crawl, he couldn’t balance himself because he was so weak. His elbow set at an awkward position and he lost full motion of it, going through years of rehabilitation.
“I gave him the mindset that the only thing holding you back is your own mind”
His youngest son was born premature, at 5.5 months, and weighing only two pounds.
“He has the heart of a warrior”
He tells of the story about the butterfly coming out of the cocoon, which forces fluid into the butterfly’s wings.
“That’s why we have to have the struggles, because we’re all trying to get our wings”
Jamon’s own birth defect resulted in one side of his body being weaker than the other. To compensate, he ran extra hours, did pushups and additional pullups to get better physically. He says he didn’t want to be in last place, or the last kid picked.
He was also outcast by half of his family because there was a doubt if he was his father’s child.
“I was really angry. I knew there was something I could do. One day at a time, I did the best I could.”
He says that growing up in his community, you were either the “prey”, or the “predator.”
He first got into sports at age 10 after seeing his older cousin play high school football. However, he realized he initially wasn’t a great athlete in his first recreation center football game.
“I started working harder, channelling the anger into the sport itself”
Jamon started studying the game more through the playbooks, and by asking his coaches for input and advice. Eventually, with hard work, he developed the reputation in middle school for being an outstanding football player. He also wrestled for the school team, although he didn’t win many matches as he just tried to outmuscle his weaker opponents, tiring himself out in the process.
In his senior year, after his mom was diagnosed with cancer and he was forced to quit football to work two jobs, Jamon truly became a wrestler. That year, his record was 42-5 and he won a regional and conference championship. He lost at the state championships, and says the pressure got to him.
“You’ve got to believe you’re good enough to be somewhere”
He says he’s learned to support his kids the best he can, but won’ t force them to do something they don’t want to do, if they don’t want to continue with athletics.
“Just being there doesn’t make you a good parent. You’ve got to have that relationship, that communication, that support.”
He advises other fathers to just give kids time each day, and to watch what happens.

TIME CAPSULE: “I just want to let you know that I have always loved you guys. You are products of God, and me. Everything I didn’t have, I wanted the best for you. Every mindset and attitude that I developed, I want you to have that. My ultimate goal is for you guys to be 20 times, 40 times, 100 times better than me. I know I’ve made mistakes, but I know that in my heart, I’ve always wanted the best for you guys. You are good enough. You’re worth of every goal you set for yourselves. You can do it, just believe in you…”

Susan Seay is a mom of 7, who believes that life as a mom is a wild adventure and worth every grey hair.
She and her husband have built an amazing real estate empire that allowed him to retire from his corporate job and today Susan travels around the world mentoring moms, helping them rise above the noise and live from a place of their God-given purpose.
Susan feels in line with the purpose of her life, and she has learned to “take everything in stride.”
Her family does the stuff that matters, which is creating connection with each other.
“At the center of everything we do, our family is keen at being intentional”
She takes a long-range view of what she wants for her family, and advises others to do the same. You can do so by determining what you want them to know about themselves, and then you can step back and figure out what it will take to create that.
At the same time, be intentional about what you’re doing at this very moment. Her tip to remain present is to remember that when you’ve been away from your family members and get back together, the most critical time you have is those first 5 to 10 minutes. Focus on them only during this time.
“You’re telling them that there’s nothing more important in your life than what they’ve got to share with you”
As she has gone around the country mentoring moms, Susan has created what she calls “Home Inspirational Parties”, or nights of encouragement for moms. Her workshop is called the “Mom Guilt Cure.”
“I wanted to create the ripple effect where more moms are rising above the noise and distraction that hits them day to day, focusing on their purpose and living intentionally with their families.”
Susan shares that “mom guilt” is that feeling that you’re never doing enough as a mother for your family. This leads mothers to fear if there are even capable in the role. In order to stop this type of thinking, mentorship (like the type that Susan does) is important.
“It’s one step at a time. Your success is as you define it.”
Moms have more power than they give themselves credit for. Your voice matters; let your family know if you’re not feeling the support you need.
According to Susan, mothers need someone to encourage, not fix them.

Casey Sollock is a natural health speaker, author and coach. You can find her on 90.9 KCBI in the Dallas, Fort Worth area. Her mission is to inspire entrepreneurs everywhere to reclaim their health through natural solutions so they can live their purpose with passion and energy.
Casey was growing a life-purpose coaching business, burning the candle at both ends and not sleeping, while eating lots of fast food. She had many issues as her body was run down and immune system compromised.
“I could not live my purpose with passion and energy, because I was sick all the time”
Casey began to focus on her health and it became her personal mission to learn everything she could about holistic health, so she could live with vibrancy.
“It’s not about denial and restriction, it’s about adding in the good stuff; you begin to crave the good stuff.”
With your health, it’s important to take one small step at a time. The small things you do on a consistent basis begin to compound over time to create the results you want.
Casey’s health journey began when she discovered green smoothies. She started by having an afternoon of taste testing with her family, and she now calls the drinks her “health insurance in a glass.”
She believes that God made our bodies and knows what works well in it. People have gone so far away from that, towards processed foods, leading to an overfed and under nourished society.
“Healthy foods bring our bodies back into balance”
Weight is a symptom of an underlying root cause, which can include stress, hormonal imbalances, lack of sleep, etc.).
“I completely lost myself in the shuffle of caring for everyone else, and not taking care of myself”
When people come to Casey for weight loss, it’s a journey of self-discovery, of re-connecting with their true selves.
As a tangible first step, find what you can add into your life today to add more health and happiness (going on long walks, taking time for deep breathing, drinking smoothies, etc.).
“Food is powerful. It will power you up, or power you down”
Stress can be destructive on the body, weakening the immune system, and entrepreneurs have to be very diligent and intentional with daily stress reduction.
“When we’re cultivating wellness daily, we’re much better able to be top-notch parents and entrepreneurs”
Casey shares that getting up and moving throughout the day is not only good for physical health, but for brain health. This leads to increased creativity for the entrepreneur.
She recommends progress over perfection.
“No one is perfect. I’ve seen many healthy journeys derailed by the thought of having to be perfect.”
Casey believes that it’s never too late to start a journey towards better health, and there’s always hope.
“Don’t ever compare yourself to someone else.
Her book, “The Kingdom-Driven Entrepreneurs Guide to Holistic Health” is now available through Casey’s website (see “INTERVIEW LINKS”), as well as on Amazon.

Chelsea says her blog is part of what she does, but she admits she doesn’t have the answers on everything. However, she has done a lot of exploring about teaching kids character traits and virtues.
“I’m sharing what I learned, and what works for me”
She started blogging about parenting issues a little over 6 years ago. Eventually, Chelsea realized she had this passion for character education and wanted to share it in a more public way, which is MomentADay.com.
“It’s great blogging these days. There are so many doors opening, meeting people while working online.”
Her motivation for starting MomentsADay.com was to spend a few minutes a day with her own children.
“I realized that just spending a few intentional moments thinking and exploring these concepts with our kids really made a difference”
Chelsea says that it’s hard for entrepreneurs and people passionate about their work to fit everything in. Her husband is supportive in making sure they take time to be with the kids and focus on them 100%.
“As a work-at-home mom, I definitely have to put limits on what I do”
Service is a big component of what Chelsea and her husband are trying to teach their kids, and she has always told them that how they help other people is what really matters.
“It’s about the live you live, and trying to bring happiness to whoever is around you”
She would like to see changes to the current educational system, starting with prioritizing capacity building, and developing themselves in order to serve others.
“It we focused our educational model on developing people who care about each other, I think it would be a totally different world”
Reading books that show people doing wonderful things, going through challenges and the lesson they learn is a way that Chelsea instils values in her kids. As well, activities, depending on the ages of the kids, can reinforce the desired values.
Kids will go through stages, and the relationships between your children will evolve. She says it’s ok if they get on each other’s nerves some of the time. Parents just need to offer appropriate ways for them to connect, and not expect too much.
Good techniques for developing a positive attitude, and a good attitude towards losing, is to play games of chance rather than skill with your kids. Modeling by parents is important, as your children will watch how you act in certain situations.
Chelsea believes parents should give kids an environment that doesn’t force them to go through things too early in life. It’s important to talk about certain issues, but in a child appropriate way. On issues such as world hunger, she says:
“I want them to know they can make a difference”
Chelsea had about 700,000 unique visitors to her blog in 2015, and her favourite post was “The Kitchen Can Wait”, which she says she wrote to remind herself to live in the moment with her family.

Shae Bynes is a passionate storyteller, three-time best selling author and a teacher on God-centered business and marriage. She’s the author of 8 books, and the host of the “Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur” podcast.
Based in Florida, she’s married to her high school sweetheart and together they have two beautiful daughters.
Shae is very passionate about youth financial literacy and entrepreneurship. Both of her daughters (now ages 14 and 7) are entrepreneurs that started their businesses at very young ages.
Her oldest daughter started her own business at the age of 10 so she could buy the things she wanted. Originally, she would do bonus chores around the house for a commission. Eventually, she moved online and would get items from people to sell on Ebay and Craigslist. She started by warm-calling friends and family, and eventually cold-called and visited neighbours she didn’t know to see if they had items they wanted to sell.
“I really let her pace things; that was her business”
Shae had her daughter blog about her experiences, which she felt would be good advertising her the young girl’s business.
Shae’s youngest daughter started a business at age 5, selling lipstick and makeup. Extremely extroverted, her daughter got over $200 worth of orders in her first week.
“I think it’s really exciting to know that they have options. I didn’t really know that growing up.”
Shae’s parents weren’t entrepreneurs, and for a good part of her life, neither was she.
She likes to introduce her children to people that are strong in their area of passion.
“I want them to be the best at the thing they desire”
Her advice to others looking to introduce their children to entrepreneurship is to first show them other kids that are doing it. This can be done through a simple YouTube search. As well, with her kids, she took out a piece of paper and had them write down everything they loved doing, what they thought there were good at, as well as putting checkmarks by the things they thought they could make money from.

Michelle Vandepas is the host of the Purpose and Profit podcast, a best-selling author and TEDx speaker. She works with those who’s call is to change the consciousness of the planet. She will be featured in an upcoming documentary, “Wisdom From Thought Leaders.” In addition to being a mother and grandmother, she has 10 foster children.
Michelle believes that it is possible for anyone to be an entrepreneur, but it can be complicated. She feels everyone shouldn’t approach entrepreneurship the same way, and gives the example of Richard Branson versus a smaller entrepreneur that works from home.
“The definition (of entrepreneur) is so broad that I think we need to remember that there’s a place for everyone. It’s finding the style that’s right for you to make you the most successful.”
When frustrated and discouraged, entrepreneurs need to remember they’re in it for the life journey, because they have a passion.
http://bravepreneur.com/042-2/
“Passion needs to sustain us over the long haul. Having a long-term view helps us get through the ups and downs.”
Michelle got interested in the shift from business in person, to online and social media. She realized there was an opportunity to work with people who didn’t do well networking in person, to bring their skills online. She believes people need to break down what type of person they are, and use their skills and type to align themselves with their marketing.
“Identifying your archetype will help you blossom as an entrepreneur and help you market yourself in an easier way.”
We have to give ourselves permission to not do what everyone else is doing.
The biggest mistake that Michelle sees people doing (both in person and online) is forgetting to ask for the sale.
When she started her first business at 27, she wanted to figure it all out herself but realized she needed help from others, including her accountant, lawyer and business partner.
“It’s extremely competitive today. We all need to be working on our mindsets, to keep our head in the game.”
Michelle spoke at TEDx recently and has coached many others on how to do this. To start, she just applied to be a speaker for them.
“We all try to figure out what they end game is before we take the first step”
There are multiple paths to becoming a speaker. A person could become a keynote speaker and go after the corporate or conference market, travelling often, or do as Michelle and use speaking to build her business and increase her platform. She usually doesn’t charge to speak, however, is giving the opportunity to sell her products and services and get clients from the engagements.
If you’re a local business, try to find a “hook” that has to do with some current events. Approach local media and offer valuable advice on how to solve a particular program, which will help you get exposure.
She says that procrastination is not necessarily as bad as we think it is. We can have it all, but not all at once.
We need time for creative energy to flow through us, to give us new ideas.
“It takes time to build roots that are strong enough”

James Tew is the Australian dad behind “A Dad’s Mission for Success.” He is is a 7-year Navy vet, content partner with Entrepreneur.com and an expert at helping entrepreneurs build relationships with influencers through video. He is married and has four beautiful daughters.
In this episode, james reveals some little known hacks for your breaking into th e upper ranks of your industry... with video.
James originally got interested in video as a teenager, but didn’t start doing them again until earlier this year, as he found podcasting wasn’t for him.
“I’m a very visual person. I like to wave my hands around; I like to do things. Video is the medium that provided me the opportunity to do that.”
In August 2015, he published his first video on YouTube and has over 17,000 views since. He tries to keep his videos to less than three minutes, and injects humour at points where he feels the audience might fall off.
“I think we all need to have a laugh at ourselves sometimes and not take ourselves so seriously. It all comes down to self-confidence.”
James tries to link his videos to an evolving theme. For example, he wanted October to be a reflection of our souls, and what we are offering others. He also recommends relating business lessons you have learned to something obscure, like his video “3 Things I Learned about Relationships from Green Smoothies.”
He feels that if you are open and transparent about your journey, that will sell better than any other content.
For someone starting out using videos, you don’t need an expensive set up. He uses a $100 three-point lighting set-up that he purchased off eBay. He recommends a good microphone, Rode smartLav+, to get the best audio possible on without a large budget, as you can excuse bad video, but not bad audio.
“I’m just a 27-year old dad of four girls who’s trying to make his way in the world. It’s not perfect. It’s not 5-Star.”
One shortcut to reach influencers is to ask for their input on Twitter, and screen grabs the response. You can then tag them on Facebook and Twitter when you share the video you do on YouTube.
Collaborating with other creators is the best way to grow your following on YouTube.

Tom and Ariana Sylvester are the founders of Serial Startups, and host of the podcast of the same name. They are experienced real estate investors, as well owning other businesses. Together, they raise two adorable children.
Tom’s first entrepreneurial venture was as a child. He purchased candy in bulk from the local store, and set up his own shop in his room. Over the years, he had several businesses fail, until he started seeing success with his real estate investing. When he and Ariana purchased a commercial building, they used the empty space to open their own wine and liquor store.
People were asking the two of them how they managed being parents while running multiple businesses. They decided to shift their conversations online by starting a blog, which evolved into the podcast and courses related to Serial Startups.
Tom went to school for computer science and business management, while Ariana studied zoology. She worked a number of jobs, including at an animal hospital and in an office an administrative assistant, and credits these experiences as helping her learn the various skills she uses in their businesses today.
Tom believes communication is key in any business, as well as utilizing the different strengths that both of them have.
They originally met in college, living in the same dorm.
“It was a very comfortable, automatic friendship that very quickly turned into a relationship”
From early on, Tom wanted them to not be working for anyone else by age of 35. He started investing in the stock market, but realized it wasn’t the vehicle for him to reach this goal. He also started an IT consultancy business with a friend, which they sold after two years.
“The thing was figuring out what didn’t work with these businesses. Then we could apply that to all the things we did after that point, which helped us succeed”
Ariana says the hardest part about being an entrepreneur’s spouse was watching him go through various failures over the years. She played the role of the “voice of reason”, as well as “cheerleader” at various times.
Due to ignorance coming out of college, they accumulated a large amount of debt, but were able to pay this off. They did so by understanding their finances (how much money was coming in, versus how much going out) and by making sacrifices like not eating out and cancelling their cable.
It can be challenging working with a spouse, but they’ve learned to communicate so that arguments don’t become larger issues.
