Turning Self Publishing Dreams into Reality

Turning Self Publishing Dreams into Reality

Jeremy 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!”

It’s been exciting to watch Annie’s business grow and thrive (watch for Wild Balance in Whole Foods!).
