June 06, 2016

"If I couldn't make it to the 6th floor, how was I ever going to make it to 50 countries?" - Jeff Hoffman

A little over 9 months ago, I stumbled across a podcast interview on Inside Quest with Jeff Hoffman (which you can find right here). Before the interview started I had no idea who Jeff Hoffman was - after the interview was over I would never forget the lessons he shared! That 5o minute interview completely changed the direction of my life, how I approached my career, and how I looked at the opportunity entrepreneurship offers to the world.

That 5o minute interview completely changed the direction of my life, how I approached my career, and how I looked at the opportunity entrepreneurship offers to the world. I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to share his story on this episode of The Happiness of Pursuit Podcast.

In this interview, I had the opportunity to dig deeper with Jeff Hoffman on some of the most pivotal moments of his career, as well as some momentous decisions he made after he chose to leave the typical 9-to-5 to fulfill a lifelong passion for travel.

One of the most powerful lessons Jeff shared was the importance of using money as a tool to scale and make a greater impact in the world;

"There is no shame in making money, the shame is not using it to help others."
