Summary

When you hear the word "noncomformist," your imagination might conjure up a black-sheep rogue protestor dancing in the streets. If you hear "dominating the world," the first thing that comes to mind might be Pinky and the Brain. Chris Guillebeau is one of the nicest, most generous guys around, and yet he's a big believer in both those things. He's also a traveler and author—in this chat, he and Tsh talk about when he traveled to every country in the world, what happened when he wrote a brief guide to world domination (it's not what you think), working a side hustle, and his new book, Born For This. Head here for the show notes! And head here for Tsh's steps on starting a blog.

1:25.9	this all the time, way more than three. How do I start a
1:30.1	blog? No, I mean with the easy button. Don't use jargon. Don't make it complicated. Just tell me
