stay curious

key takeaways from euro travels so far

Hey all!

It’s been quite the hectic last few weeks for me.

Been quite literally all over the place.

Last time you heard from me I was back in my hometown in Toronto, Canada.

Now, I’m currently writing this from the beautiful city of Amsterdam.

Within these 2 weeks, I went from Toronto to Rome to Greece and now to Amsterdam.

I’ve had so many great experiences along with many insights and lessons to share.

As most of you know, I hosted our IRL Greece Mastermind which was tremendous.

It was such an incredible and enriching experience to experience that island life alongside other amazing guys.

From ATV riding, boat rides, organized dinners, etc.

Greece was one-of-a-kind.

A common theme I’ve noticed between the European countries I’ve visited is the sense of community they embrace.

Greece and Italy are two countries that prioritize family and values.

They understand the importance of human connection and social gatherings.

Their amazing cuisine brings everyone together and they get to celebrate life.

When was the last time you celebrated life with your loved ones?

Not celebrate as in guzzle down a bunch of alcohol and wake up hungover the next day.

I’m referring to a “joie de vivre” type of celebration.

In other words, celebrating life in a more fulfilling and intrinsic way.

I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to travel right now and see what’s out there in the world.

And I’ve made sure to capitalize on this opportunity.

I’ve made a conscious effort to stay curious.

To wonder and wander.

To go up to a stranger and spark a conversation.

Which is why I’ve recently begun an exremely ambitious side project as I travel.

My mission is to sit down and have a cup of coffee with 100 different entrepreneurs.

And it’s already been the most amazing experience.

I’ve met so many truly inspiring people and have learned so much from it.

So much so, that I’m debating starting a whole newsletter on the stories I hear from these people.

Overall, each day has been filled with inspiration and curiosuoty for me.

I hope I can continue to inspire you as I continue on with this mission.

And for you, I hope you can do yourself a favour and also stay curious.

Ask more questions, learn more about the unknown and dive deeper.

There’s so much more to life than you can ever imagine.

Wishing you a fresh start of October
