Garrett is an incredibly humble person that wants to do nothing but live his every single day to the absolute fullest. He is full of incredible stories after living life like this and as he puts it, never being satisfied having accomplished X, but always, “chasing Y and Z”.

That is exactly what he has done and continues to do. He grew up dreaming of being a collegiate athlete and didn’t give up until he made it - despite the multiple efforts needed to get there. He simultaneously built an iPhone application that was downloaded over 100 million times in 3 years. He turned down 10 million dollars to continue to live out his dream of being a soccer player as long as he could. And now, for close to 10 years, he’s been traveling the world with his family and living a life worth journaling about every single day. 

A king of adventure and curiosity, a master of wearing many hats, and an advocate for going into the world and taking what you want - Garrett was an absolute pleasure to have on the show and we are so excited to share his many inspiring messages in this episode!
