Matt Wilson (@mattwilsontv) is the co-founder and CEO of Under30Experiences (@under30experiences), a travel company providing adventurous travel opportunities for young adults.

Before starting Under30Experiences, which you might know from episode #17 with Lindsey Dukes, Matt was the co-founder of Under30CEO.com. Under30CEO is a site that helps young entrepreneurs get the tools, resources, information, guidance and more to successfully run their own companies.

In 2016, after about 8 years and 30 million page views, Matt and his co-founder Jared O’Toole sold Under30CEO to Rich20Something. Part of the reason for the sale was so Matt and Jared could work full-time on U30X.

U30X provides authentic cultural trips and experiences for small groups of people generally between the ages of 21-35.

The company is growing fast and was named #801 on the 2018 Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing private companies in America.

Matt is also the host of the Live Different Podcast, which focuses on inspiring conversations about cutting edge mental and physical techniques to help people live beyond the status quo. The podcast aims to help people grow their business, get in better shape, perform at their peak, and have fun in life.

Beyond his podcast, Matt’s work is published on Forbes, Inc. Magazine, Huffington Post, Reuters, Under30CEO and other notable sites. Matt travels and lives throughout the world as a digital nomad, hosts his own yoga and fitness retreats, and is a shareholder of the Green Bay Packers.

Dane Thomas Bergman (@danethomasbergman) joins the podcast from Australia to discuss how to create a better lifestyle among many other topics.

Dane is a lifestyle enthusiast, certified personal trainer, adventurist, long-term world traveler, seeker of the extraordinary, and more.

He is constantly on the search to make life better, more fulfilling and more adventurous. At its core, Dane's message promotes being in love with your life, harnessing your passions and sharing them with the world. And, he understands this isn’t something that just falls into your lap.

After high school, Dane played three years in the Australian rules Football League. Starting in 2008, he traveled for 10 years to nearly 40 countries on five continents.

He worked along the way to fund his travels and has gone on some incredible adventures. One of these was cycling around the entire country of Iceland, which we somehow don’t even discuss.

Currently in Australia, Dane tries to source his food locally as often as possible. This means he forages for plants, fruits and spear fishes in the ocean in order to catch fresh fish for meals.

Dane was previously vegetarian for 18 months and then switched to vegan for the following 18 months. He recently introduced eggs and fish back into his diet, which he explains his reasoning behind.

Dane is constantly trying to push the envelope in all aspects of his life to make a positive impact in the health, happiness and quality of life of everyday people around the world. This can be broken down into four main areas of Self, Wealth/Work, Love, and Legacy.

He writes about these topics to help people learn and make changes in their lives on his website, The Lifestyle Empire. From the website, The Lifestyle Empire Creed is:

"To positively impact the lives of individuals and families by creating a resource and community that cultivates an optimal and successful lifestyle. The Lifestyle Empire aims to educate, inspire and teach through first-hand experience and an ever growing understanding of the world, while always remaining open to change and never set in our ways."

As part of this empire, Dane is currently working on a 12-week online lifestyle warrior program. This course is designed to help men reinvent their physiques, mindset, and lifestyle, which will be released in the next few months.

On today’s episode we are joined by professional photographer and global traveler Geoff Lister (@geofflister), who lives in Vancouver.

How did this lifestyle and career start for Geoff? From his website:

"The first time I picked up a real camera, the kind with lots of buttons and a big lens, was in Hawaii. I was eight years old. My father took the strap and wrapped it around my neck, placed the body in my hands and told me to hold it straight.

I still fail to follow that last piece of advice on a regular basis (thank God for the crop tool). It took me until I was sixteen to save up for my first digital body, I bought it at a SkyTrain Station in Vancouver on my way to Nicaragua. The addictive force that has compelled me to give up sleep, time and money, move to the big city. After completing a marketing degree at the University of British Columbia, I made it my job. I couldn’t be happier.

My younger brother is now in possession of that first camera. I hope it serves him as well as it served me.”

Since making photography his job, Geoff has photographed events such as:

• College football finals

Running his own full-time photography business, Geoff has worked with universities, companies, press, skiers, kite boarders, couples, and many more people.

I highly encourage you to check out some his work on his website or Instagram.

What's up fellow millennials?!

Guess what? We are changing the reasons and ways people travel.

Consequently, we are also impacting how companies tailor to our styles and help us explore the world.

On today’s episode we are joined by Lindsey Dukes (@dukeslindsey), whose life-changing travels started with one of these companies, Under30Experiences (U30X).

Not only did Lindsey take multiple trips with Under30Experiences, but was later hired as a full-time marketing employee.

In addition, she now helps with building community and leading experiences in places like Bali, Ireland, Italy, Spain, France, and Thailand.

However, Lindsey's life was not always so adventurous and global. For a while she worked in a corporate job, lived a “checkbox” life, and kept her true passions as hobbies.

From the outside, there was no reason to think she wasn't happy or fulfilled.

In reality, she couldn’t shake the feeling that this lifestyle wasn’t her truth. She believed the world had much more to offer and explore.

Facing these feelings and telling her true desires to the universe, the world presented her with an opportunity to leave her job. Lindsey took her chance, booked trips to Bali and Iceland with Under30Experiences, and transformed her life.

Our conversation hits on a wide-range of subjects, from her experiences with U30X to deeper life topics. I truly think there’s something for everyone in here.

Thank you for listening and enjoy!
