Jared Sternberg: Why He Left A Law Degree Behind To Launch A Sustainable Eco-Tours Travel Company

Drown the Noise

More often than not, we spend a lot of our early adult years trying to figure out what we want to do with our lives. But it really wasn't until Jared Sternberg began studying law in his mid-twenties, that he realized there was a bigger passion inside of him. One where he could travel and share his passion for helping historically underrepresented peoples and their environment with others.

He made the difficult decision to leave a law degree in human rights and the environment, so that he could launch his own travel company and embark on an entrepreneurial path.

Today, his company is known as Gondwana Eco-tours. They exist to offer a positive, meaningful and relaxing travel experience that benefits both the traveler and the destination. You can join them on multiple adventures in Alaska, explore the natural beauty of Ecuador, discover the Northern Lights with like-minded adventurers, watch wildlife roam on their Tanzanian safari experience and immerse yourself in the beauty and community of your surroundings.

We discuss everything from the pressure one feels to succeed as a new business owner; how hard it is to stand out from other travel companies; how Jared plans on building his brand; where he hopes to be in 5-10-15 years; dealing with naysayers and why entrepreneurialism is hard, but extremely rewarding.
