Episode 14 - Embracing the Unknown: Tales of a Nomadic Entrepreneur

Travels With Jim and Rita

Picture this: you're surrounded by boxes, the remnants of a life you're packing up to explore the unknown. That's the scene Rita and I find ourselves in, and it's where our conversation with Corey Mortensen begins. He's a man who's mastered the ebb and flow of a life lived on the move, having ventured across the globe not just once but several times. Corey regales us with stories from his days on Wake Island to immersing himself in Thai culture, weaving a narrative that doesn't just entertain but also enlightens, offering a roadmap for those yearning to break free and find adventure.
Our latest episode takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions and destinations. From the serendipitous turn of events that steered our guest from Europe to China, to the heart rate monitor business venture that followed, we explore the found and lost opportunities that shape a life less ordinary. Then, there's love—the unexpected, world-changing kind that led me to his wife, Kate, and together, they chose the path less trodden, a nomadic life rich with travel and volunteer work. Corey's stories intersect at the crossroads of entrepreneurial spirit and wanderlust, proving that the courage to leap can land you in the most extraordinary of places.
As we wrap up our tales, the discussion shifts to the nitty-gritty of sustained travel—the financial strategies, the cultural dances, the finding of a kindred spirit to share the road with. Hear how he navigated the financial bends of long-term travel, from frugal living to strategic negotiations, and how a whimsical decision led him to become the CEO of White Condor Publishing. These are the stories of life's unpredictable nature and the romance found in far-flung corners of the globe. Join us, and perhaps, you'll be inspired to begin your own adventure.
