Manage episode 265911589 series 1233899
I met Erik when we were both living in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It had to be CM, of course. The epicenter of small creative digital entrepreneurs. He told me that one day he asked himself that famous question, “If he had enough money to stop working, what would he do?”. And he realized he would travel the world to eat delicious food.
He noticed his most precious “eating and cultural” experiences had happened when grandmas were in charge. So he started a youtube channel called “cookin with grandmas” just for the fun of it, to share these experiences with his friends. And now, not only he has thousands of followers, he got a contract for his own TV show!
I’m sure his story will inspire you, to go after your exciting career!
