Image Property of Natalie Sisson Natalie Sisson isn't inspirational because of the things she has done. What makes her inspirational is the nonchalant attitude that she has towards it all. Want to ride a bike across Africa? Yeah! Let's do it. Want to start making $15,000 a month? Where do we start? Her attitude is contagious. No wonder she wins body sculpting and boating competitions. When your attitude says, "lets do it." Things happen faster and it's more fun. She takes this to business, social enterprises and even book publishing. It's all quite inspirational.

We exchanged Facebook friendship while chilling at the lodge. I knew I was headed to Cape Town for the FIFA World Cup and he was certain to be there wrapping up his studies. He said he would take me surfing and I thought that would be great. If I knew then what I know now, that invitation should have been viewed with a comfortable level of trepidation. Luke likes to surf big waves in frigid Cape Town water during the nastiest parts of the winter. He's a machine. "Travel gets you outside of your comfort zone & open to new ways of thinking & be
