Chris GuillebeauChris Guillebeau punches conformity right in the face every day. Well, maybe not literally…but close. Chris (who I had a chance to meet in person a couple of weeks ago) is living a unique life and sharing it with the world. It is one heck of an inspiring story that has led Chris on adventures in over 100 countries as he continues a quest on visiting every country in the world.

On the business side, about two years ago Chris set his eyes on becoming a professional writer and started The Art Of Non-Conformity blog. Since then, Chris has built up an incredible, loyal community, a booming business through his unconventional guides, and a book by the same name (The Art Of Non-Conformity) (affiliate link). All in about two years.

Wow. I wanted to know how did he do all this? And how did he do it so quickly?

In this interview, Chris spills it all and tells us about:

  • His plan and how he executed it.
  • The first steps he took to become a professional writer.
  • His business model (how he makes money).
  • How he created his first paying product and what he learned from it.
  • The six keys to overnight success (super interesting, trust me)
  • …and much more.

Enjoy the interview! And as usual, feel free to leave your thoughts, questions, random observations, or whatever you want below. We are all friends here!
