100 Lunches

My philosophy has always been to live a life less bullshit, but what does that really mean? What does it look like when you create and live the life you actually want, instead of just dutifully following the path that someone told you take?

Welcome to the 100 Lunches Project.

Between now and my 30th birthday (June 13, 2015), I’ll be inviting 100 ballsy, inspiring, and kickass people to have lunch with me and share their stories. Most importantly, I’ll be asking what they think makes for a life less bullshit, and then I’ll be passing their jump-starting wisdom on to you.

The following list is a work in progress, and it’s made up of people who I sincerely hope will accept my mid-day meal invitation. As I work to fill up all 100 spots, I’m curious: if you were doing this project, who would you invite to lunch?
