Chris Guillebeau’s homepage instantly draws you in. Branding himself as “challenging authority since 1978”, Chris is a writer, traveler, and the biggest role model I’ve never met. Fighting the status quo is an art. Chris’ writing and way of life demonstrates that the art of non-conformity is not just writing about settling for less, but actually doing it!
Case in point; Chris has traveled to over 100 countries and has determined to travel to all the countries in the world by 35. When applying to Knowmads, I stumbled upon his site and it literally changed my life.
He’s written two incredible manifestos: A Brief Guide to World Domination and 279 Days to Overnight Success.
He’s a creative, resourceful entrepreneur who knows how to market his knowledge products that include: 25,000 Miles Guaranteed (become a frequent flyer master), Art + Money (yes, it’s possible!), Freelancers! (less stress. more pay.), Hail, Caesar! (build an empire), Create Your Own Freedom (break out of 9-5)
When Chris isn’t building his empire while traveling the world, writing a book (coming out next month!), or meeting other “world-changers,” he is usually running marathons and must be drinking incredible amounts of coffee! Some of his other popular articles include:
A Short Collection of Unconventional Ideas
How to Conduct Your Own Annual Review
Why You Should Quit Your Job and Travel Around the World
Could Chris be any more inspiring? I’m sure he’s trying and I’m happy to dedicate this post to a man who doesn’t even know my name but has dramatically changed my life. Perhaps, this man will inspire some change in you. Thanks, Chris! Happy travels!

Hey Brock! Thanks so much for the props — so glad you’re enjoying the site.
1. For design stuff, I have to give credit to my superstar designer, Reese Spykerman (@reese). She’s the genius behind the branding curtain.
2. Yes, I do drink a lot of coffee. Heading off to get some now…
Yours in World Domination,

Wow Chris!
You just made my day! If you’re ever in Amsterdam, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! I looked at Reese’s site once when you mentioned her. Quite an impressive lady. Thanks for encouraging the domination!
Warm Regards!
