After truly reflecting on his life and happiness, James knew that he HAD TO change something. He quit his job, booked his tickets, and left to Colombia. In ONLY 45 days since quitting, he grew his online business to over $10k/mo. Ever since then, James has been on a mission to inspire and empower people to become the happiest and freest versions of themselves. We talked about freedom, taking risks, what it takes to realize your true potential, cheat codes to learn Spanish, and more. Enjoy!

In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Frederik Feldt, founder of MonkeWorld. Just at 20 years old he already built a viral 7-figure brand and got over a BILLION views across social media from what just started as posting a funny video with no intentions of creating a business. We talk about the struggles of entrepreneurship, a stupid comment that became life-changing, building a network in Los Angeles, differences between Denmark and the US, and more. Enjoy!
