#21: Matt Wilson – Co-Founder & CEO of Under30Experiences on Living Different

January 21, 2019

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.

To date, the podcast has 139 episodes, over 50 5-star ratings on iTunes, and incredible guests like Gary Arndt, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, AJ Vaynerchuk, Arthur & Pauline Frommer, and Tucker Max.

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.
