The concept of adventure is often misunderstood. Most people believe that adventure is unattainable-that it's reserved for people who climb mountains, jump out of airplanes, or swim with sharks. Nick advocates for a different meaning of adventure. He believes that, by using a simple framework, everyone can become more adventurous. And better yet, adventure leads to a happier and more fulfilling life. Nick is an entrepreneur and writer who believes that adventure promotes personal growth and happiness. Nick is on a mission to improve lives through adventure.
Nick is the Chief Adventure Officer of Universal Dialect, a social mission company that sells activewear. For every 2 items sold, Universal Dialect gives a soccer ball to kids who can't afford to play the game. Nick also writes frequently about adventure, growth, and happiness.
Nick has previously worked at Bloomberg and Airbnb.
