The Bus Driver Experience

Everyone we talk to back home has a similar interpretation of South America and that is poverty and cocaine.

Today's guest should and will blow all of your ideas and interpretations of South America.

Humberto Salinas and Annika Schüttler are the founders of Emprendo Verde, an initiative to support sustainable entrepreneurs in Latin America. Since their creation in 2011, they have become the first High Impact Sustainable Business Accelerator in Chile and the largest Sustainable Entrepreneurship Network in Latin America. EmprendoVerde is an initiative created by the Pipartner Group, a Chilean-German company dedicated to supporting and advising its clients in an integral manner in matters of development of new sustainable businesses.

We sat down with Humberto and Annika, partners at Pipartner and founders of Emprendo Verde, and they break down what it takes to launch a green company in Chile and LATAM. The many struggles of finding customers and markets to developing a community and creating incentives for the citizens and governments in LATAM to embrace sustainable and renewable businesses.

Big thanks to Humberto Salinas and Annika Schüttler you can connect with them on their Linkedin and their twitters here.

This is it! The road together has finally come to an end. Traveling for 9 months on the road, with 4 mates, can be taxing on your daily routine, relationships, and health.

For our FINAL episode together from South America we decided to make it another special one, by sharing our best tricks, hacks and tips for traveling and overlanding that we've learned on our journey.

We highlight some of our positives and negatives. Including the tools that helped us out the most and the things in retrospect, that we wish we had, to optimize more of our day and relationships.

Some of the things we share in this episode:

- 1 item we cut from our daily routine
- Biggest obstacle doing business from the road and our tip to overcome it
- How to become a mechanic with no experience
- Most important tools brought on the trip
- Short workout routine with action packed schedule

- And more...

This trip wasn't just a vacation though. We launched a business, we ran a podcast and we incubated 3 individuals. If the list isn't long enough for you there is much more where that came from. Daniel and Brandon give you an insight of what it takes to do it all. Networking with guests on the ground and building relationships while up keeping a moving house. 

This one is chock full of content for anyone looking to overland, be a digital nomad or who is looking to make more of their every day.

GET ON THE BUS!

60! Episode 60 is a celebratory episode of past and present, for your auditory pleasure... and boy o boy have we shared some incredible conversations up until this point. This episode we get a chance to look back and reflect. We discuss who we've spoken to, interviews we loved (and those Brandon hated), and the journey of podcasting to get this far. 

We had plenty of time to reflect about the trip and the fact that it is coming to a close. We share several stories and each talk about the overall intentions we gained from this trip, and what the future holds.

Livin out your best life seems easy in theory, but in practice it's MUCH much harder to do.

This episode features another visitor that joined us in South America for an extensive period On the Bus. Bryan Shay, also known as Live High Bry (@livehighbry), makes his triumphant return to the podcast as well. Bry spent the last 5 weeks traveling through Peru, Bolivia, and Chile with us. During his time he experienced the entire spectrum of physical and mental ups and downs, from 2 disheartening stuck-in-the-mud moments to the stunning Uyuni Salt flats. 

Bry is the owner over at Live High, a lifestyle brand focused on "inspiring you to do what you love."

They have 3 main principles

 acting on the things that bring you excitement, happiness or joy to follow your passion or excitement to be completely engulfed in the moment doing something you love

Bryan also traveled across the continental United States, via bycicle with his younger brother. Along the way sharing stories of unique people he came across. Live High has been featured on News Outlets and Chris Ryan - Tangentially Speaking podcast.

In this episode, we go over the many different ways each of us live out our human experience. We share our opinions on monogamy and sex, love, and other passions. We look at assumptions and interpretations of those around us versus culture and self belief.  

Another deep yet comical ride on the bus!

HE’S BACK for round 2 and this time we caught Diego in his hometown of Lima, Peru. What was meant to just be bus stop rolled over into a podcast and we picked off right where we left off last time. 

From the launch of his 3rd coloring book to all the philanthropic projects that Diego is working on, Diego continues to expand and grow his socially conscious business by donating a book for every book sale that he completes. He’s currently at 2000 books donated and well on his way to his goal of 1 million.

Carnival was absolutely absurd and we still made it out with all of our limbs attached. As we prepared to cross the Peruvian border on Valentine's Day we broke out the mic's and started recording a podcast.

You don't get one you don't just get two but you get all four of us mic'd up and ready to record on the bus. From our first-hand accounts to our historical and socio-economic takes on South America and the world as a whole, no stone is left unturned on this episode. 

This podcast was recorded on the bus in Guayaquil, Ecuador on the bus.
