Shatter the Template Lifestyle
There are many blogs and books meant to teach and inspire you to leave your corporate existence in order to pursue a venture that you’re “passionate” about. Most of these sites mean well and are inspirational, but they’re written by gurus who’ve already made it big and aren’t in touch with your reality.
Untemplater, on the other hand, was founded by six twentysomethings who’ve done it and know what it’s like to work hard to live the life that we want to live (Jun Loayza, Adam Baker, Cody McKibben, Monica O’Brien, Carlos Miceli, Andrew Norcross).
In fact, because the founders were so successful in 2010 they’re now fully dedicated to their own projects full time and have passed the torch on to Sydney who is thrilled to keep the Untemplater dream alive!
Now, in addition to regular posts by Sydney, Untemplater also features all sorts of untemplate stories and helpful tips by people from all over the blogosphere! If you haven’t already, check out our New Here page, then download a copy of our free Untemplater Manifesto.
Untemplater’s goal is to build a thriving community for anyone who ever sought more out of life — and we hope to help you learn how to shatter the template lifestyle so you can find the career, relationships, and adventures that makes you come alive!
If you have an untemplate story of your own that you’d like to share, please carefully read over our style guide for instructions.
Please stick around and join us at Untemplater to learn how you can Work where you want…Live how you want…Be who you want to be! We love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments, so please don’t be shy. ![]()
