What if you could build a life that combines travel, wildlife, and entrepreneurship… and actually make it work?
In this episode of Wildly Unplugged, I sit down with Scott to talk about how he turned a passion for adventure into a career—running safari experiences in Africa, food tours in Japan, and creative fundraising journeys around the world.
From driving sneaker-shaped cars across continents to building a safari company from the ground up, Scott shares what it really takes to create a life outside the traditional path.
We dive into:
How he combined entrepreneurship, travel, and wildlife into one career
The reality of building a business (and why it took years to work)
Wild adventure stories—from cheetahs jumping on vehicles to crossing Africa
What it’s actually like to go on an African safari (and how safe it is)
The concept of forest bathing and why nature is essential for mental reset
Following curiosity instead of convention
If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling more, working for yourself, or reconnecting with the wild—this episode is your reminder that it’s possible… just not always easy.
Adventure doesn’t just happen—you build it.
