Mac Bishop founded Wool & Prince to solve a problem of his own and the problem of minimalists around the world. He wanted comfortable wool clothing that was odor and wrinkle resistant, and looked good even if weeks went by between laundry day. It all started with him proving to his coworkers at his corporate job that he could go 100 straights days wearing the same wool shirt without washing it. His entrepreneurial pursuit kicked in and motivated him to quit the corporate job and launch his wool clothing company with an incredible Kickstarter campaign that went viral and raised over $300,000 in just 10 days. Listen on Apple Podcasts Even though he’s now a founder of a successful company he hasn’t lost his minimalist mentality and we talk about how it has actually helped him build his company. He’s also not done proving his point about minimal living and wool clothing because he just recently went 1 full year wearing just 26 core items. In this episode we discuss... The 100 day challenge of wearing the same shirt without washing it for 100 days to prove a point to his coworkers. Quitting his corporate job to launch Wool & Prince. Launching a Kickstarter campaign that immediately went viral. Shutting down the Kickstarter campaign after 10 days and $300,000. His 1 year challenge of only wearing 26 core articles of clothing.

The Divergent Travelers on episode 69 of the go hunt life podcast are Dave and Lina Stock from a little town in northern Wisconsin. 4 years ago they had a 40 acre horse farm and typical 9-to-5 jobs workin’ for the man. Lina was working for a bank in the IT department and Dave was the sales director for a large manufacturer. Their lightning strike moment happened on their honeymoon in 2010 when they were backpacking across Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia and they met people that were professional travel bloggers and making a living while seeing the world. They returned from their honeymoon to their normal lives but Lina wouldn’t let that dream go. As they talked more about it, they kept coming back to the question, “do real people do that.” "Do real people really do that." By Christmas 2013, they sold the horses, the farm, the house and everything they owned down to two backpacks and embarked on their journey to see if in fact, real people could do it. 4 years later, they are now Professional Travel bloggers and have been consistently recognized in publications from the Huffington Post to most recently National Geographic as one of the top traveling blogging couples to follow. In this episode we discuss... The fateful moment in 2010 on their honeymoon when the seed of Divergent Travelers was planted. The steps they took to prepare for their exit from their lives in northern Wisconsin. The final hour during the Christmas holiday of 2013 when their 40-acre horse farm finally sold. Stepping on the plane to New Zealand into their new lives officially as Divergent Travelers backpacking full-time. Getting "travel burnout" 4 months into their journey. It taking 3 years before they really started to monetize Divergent Travelers. How they would better structure their travel and building their global travel business. Their quest to knock off 100 epic adventures and which ones they are most worried about.

Troy Hendershott has been traveling the world for over 2,000 straight days, that’s over 5 years. He has perfected the art of traveling slow and because of that, he has found creative ways to earn money along the way from managing hostels and teaching English down to editing menus for grammar mistakes in exchange for a free meal.

Troy grew up in Denver and left a 12 year career in TV production working for one of Mark Cuban’s companies to pursue his dream of indefinite Global Budget Traveling.

We also touch on the fact that he was born in South Korea, was adopted by his family in Denver and how he’s woven his travel into a search for his birth mother.

I actually speak to Troy, ironically, while he was passing through Seoul South Korea and we talk about how that city deals with being less than 50 miles from the border of North Korea.

"If you travel slow and don’t have a time limitation you are going to find ways and extremely creative ways to save money and possibly earn money to really enjoy these places to their fullest."

Something else you will learn is that early on in his travels, he decided to ditch the travel books and rely completely on recommendations from people that he meets along the way.

In this episode we discuss... His early career working for HDNet, the company founded by Mark Cuban. His experience working at over 500 live sporting events. What is his definition of Global Budget Traveling. How he planned on leaving his 12 year career in TV broadcast and production. Living out of a backpack for 5 years running. The creative ways he's earned money from managing hostels to teaching english. Why he decided to ditch the guide books for personal recommendations from fellow travelers. Paying less than $500/month rent in Seoul, South Korea. The tone of Seoul being only 50 miles from North Korea. The travel tools that he relies on for hotels, couch surfing, hostels and airplane tickets. The work and volunteer resources that he relies on to find his next gigs.

Bas Lansdorp wants to colonize Mars and he’s looking for volunteers to ripcord out of their lives on Earth and go. He is building his company, Mars One, that will send the first 4 people to Mars in 14 years to build a new society but it’s a one-way ticket.

The biggest challenge of the Mars One mission will be psychological.

So he’s been looking for future Mars settlers to date over 200,000 people have volunteered.

Oxygen, food, gravity or something else. The physiological challenges that each individual team member will need to overcome. How much 'sense of humor' plays into determining the best crew. What if the crew has sex and one of them gets pregnant? When will the second manned mission for Mars One will get to Mars?

Katie Ford is all in but it took her reaching a defining moment in her life where she could no longer wear two uniforms. One uniform was her 20 year career as a Writer, Editor and Reporter for numerous high level magazines and newspapers and the 2nd uniform kept her awake at night. It gnawed at her night and day until she knew that this was to be her life’s mission.

How does someone’s life mission turn, just like that?

Everything changed for Katie in 2010 when she stepped into a woman’s prison in Lockhart Texas, and she started listening to the stories of these women. Up to this point she had been mentoring children of incarcerated inmates and had built up a lot of blame towards these people.

These inmates were the ones that had made the mistakes which meant that they had abandoned their kids in the world outside of prison…right?

Katie’s anger and blame melted away one traumatic story at a time. From that moment on, she knew what she wanted to do. It became her life’s mission to help these women break a lifetime of trauma by sharing their stories but Katie didn’t know the how.

How she was going to do it. How was she going to pay for it and turn this into her new livelihood and career.

She held the panic at bay, took the biggest chance of her life and left that first uniform behind.

In this episode we discuss... Listening to these incarcerated women's stories about a lifetime of trauma including physical and sexual abuse. Realizing that these women were 'largely invisible'. Leaving a 20 year career as a Writer, Reporter and Editorial Director with multiple magazines and newspapers. What event led up to her ending her entire livelihood in the summer of 2016. Why not telling anyone gave her the courage to stick with her decision to resign. Holding her initial panic at bay and embracing the freedom, relief and opportunity. Developing the Healing Trauma program that heals through storytelling. Partnering up with American Youth Works to cut through the red tape of starting a nonprofit. Becoming the Executive Director of Truth Be Told. "I realized that one of the uniforms that I was wearing didn't fit anymore so I had to leave it behind."

Brian Carraway is the Founder of Flying Squirrel Outfitters and has built his hammock company with a social conscience to empower women in the small villages in Northern Thailand but he once had a normal, ideal job in Seattle. He was living downtown right by Pike Place Market and had a dream job with a great company but upon returning from a long vacation and staring at the 100s of emails in his inbox, he knew he was done.

He was dreaming of pursuing something different but he really didn’t know what that was so on the day that the Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl in 2013 and the city was at the pinnacle of excitement, he was on a plane leaving it behind.

Where was he going, to Chang Mai Thailand.

“I came to Thailand with the mentality that I was not on vacation.”

Since that moment, he’s re-established himself and is building a Hammock Company with a social conscience. He uses all local products and then his employees the seamstresses are women in the small villages of Thailand that didn’t even have a way to make money until Brian came along.

He is empowering these women through ethical job creation.

In this episode we discuss...

Moving his life to minimalism by selling his car and biking to work.

Meditating to come to the conclusion that he was done with his job that he loved.

Taking what he learned from Red Fin and the entrepreneurial environment with him to apply in his next business move.

Leaving Seattle on Super Bowl Sunday at the height of the city’s excitement.

Landing in Thailand and getting out of vacation mode by starting to teach English for income.

Building a company to empower women in the small villages of Thailand. The steps to build a company outside of the US and import into the US. And the hammocks, they are beautiful, they are hand-sewn and completely adjustable like no other camping hammock you’ve ever seen. Through his first step into his entrepreneurial life of living abroad, he's built a company to empower women providing them a way of life that didn't previously exist.
