Wildpreneurs has a new look...en español! Mexico inspired and empowered me to become a Wildpreneur and to write my book. It makes my heart sing that today Wildpreneurs hits bookstores across the country. Viva Mexico y gracias amigos!!! Grab your copy of Emprendedores Salvajes here. (if you're studying Spanish, this read will be great practice).
Read MoreJeremy and I became amigos as interns at Natural Capitalism Solutions in Boulder, Colorado. Jeremy inspired me to buy my first pair of rock climbing shoes and showed me how to play on the rocks. Jeremy went on to work as a climate/energy consultant in Boulder for over a decade before spreading his wings as Wildpreneur. Jeremy founded PufferPrint—a high-quality, affordable, climate neutral book printing and personalized self-publishing service.
Jeremy is thriving as a Wildpreneur. He says, “I keep telling my friends to quit their jobs if I can do it then so can they and do something that affords a lifestyle that they love. We just spent 4 days in the desert with our kids, I completed 2 orders through my business while I was there and mountain biked 20 miles a day and spent so much time with my wife, kids and friends. I couldn’t have done that if I were employed by someone else!”
Read More“I’m writing a book!” I announced to my parents as we watched sunset from our jungle rooftop in spring 2015.
“Wonderful!” they raised their glasses enthusiastically. “What happens first?”
“Well, I’ve got an idea, and an outline, I guess I should just start writing?” I responded.
“You should get in touch with our friend Herta,” suggested my father. “She’s an author, editor and writing coach who could look at your writing and give you some feedback.”
Hmmm, I thought to myself. Was I ready for someone to look at my writing? Was I ready for honest feedback and criticism? Was my writing worth reading?
I ignored any self doubt and chatted with Herta on the phone the following week. She ended up working with me for several years. Herta’s support on my journey as an author has been truly invaluable—she made it all possible…
Read MoreOne of my favorite things about being a mom is stoking my son’s curiosity. Though he’s only 1 year old, he’s fascinated by how the world works. Everything is an awesome mystery to this little dude! I’m captivated as I watch him explore, follow his instinct and figure things out.
Could entrepreneurship also be instinctual and learned at a young age? Brothers Adam and Matthew Toren believe in empowering kids (all ages!) to get involved with business. They believe it’s never too early to begin teaching basic entrepreneurial principles and fueling kids’ curiosity in simple, engaging, creative, and safe ways.
I’m delighted to have discovered Kidpreneurs. Wildpreneurs and Kidpreneurs certainly share some common ground!

When Megan isn’t leading dance adventures globally, she is a business coach specializing in supporting Wildpreneurs with holistic success. Megan is eager to support her fellow Wildpreneurs and has some special invitations for you.
Read MoreMary melds the worlds of culture and adventure travel through photography and writing. Skiing is her passion, but any outdoor activity gets her stoked — rock climbing, kayaking, backpacking, and mountain biking keep her busy year-round. Mary’s recent trip to Iceland was cut a bit short (we’re all adapting in this unusual time) so she took a moment during her 2 week self-quarantine to share some of her Wildpreneur inspiration . Gracias Mary!
Read MoreInvasion!!! The jungle crabs are back! Must be time to close up my jungle lodge once again. But that would mean …can it be…13 years? Have I really been a Wildpreneur for that long…?
June on the Mexican Pacific brings thousands of jungle crabs. They dance on the beaches, dirt roads, and even knock on the door to my casita—a sure sign that the tropical rains will soon arrive. These ubiquitous crustaceans trigger two annual rituals:
1) My lodge goes into hibernation for the summer monsoons.
2) Time to reflect on the year (s) that have passed.
Read on for a decade of Wildpreneur lessons/reflections and a sneak peak at the chapters of my book!
