“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. Wildpreneurs is inspiring and right on time for the growing movement of adventurous creatives.”

This is a book for anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit or looking for the courage to leap.
