*****
"I remember watching Tamara incubate her wild business idea in our college dorm. She not only dove head-first into entrepreneurship right after graduation, but she did it in the middle of the jungle with her parents. The qualities that make Tamara such a unique, resilient, and open-minded person shine through in her book with raw honesty. And she doesn't just want people to read the book and learn from her, she has intentionally curated an experience with interactive exercises so readers can develop their own blueprints. The Wildpreneurs is inspiring and right on time for the growing movement of adventurous creatives."
—Carolyn Barnwell, Documentographer at National Geographic
****
“A fascinating blend of memoir and practical advice for the entrepreneur seeking outside-the-box information on how to start your dream business. Tamara’s personal stories, at times, are fabulous adventures, and at others funny, honest, and self-reflective, offering insight into her own entrepreneurial mistakes, with the hope that others can avoid them. A must read for the next wildpreneur.”
—Herta Feely, award-winning author of Saving Phoebe Murrow
