A Machu Picchu Unique Genius Superhero Interview: Jodi Nelson Of Play It Forward Adventures

Look, if you’re going to do a video interview, it’s pretty hard to beat doing one at the top of Macchu Picchu.  Jodi Nelson started an amazing Unique Genius business called “Play It Forward Adventures“, integrating adventure travel with service work. She’s truly mashing her passions!

We talk about what she was doing before she started it, how she began, where the ideas came from, how her coach made a big difference, and what’s going on this year for her (her 4th year)…

The trip was awesome – we spent:

  • A couple of days in Lima & Cusco,
  • About three days volunteering in a local village school (building tables and chairs, planting trees, playing with kids),
  • Three days trekking in the Andes, and
  • A day in Machu Picchu.

The people on the trip were fantastic!  It was just awesome all around 🙂

      @valerie, @Zain Jeewanjee, thank you for passing this on – I hope it inspires your friends! And thanks Zain for the compliment, lol

  3. How inspiring!!!

    I already sent the link to two women who’ve attended previous Profiting From Your Passions seminars who both want to live in Latin America and find a way to make a difference.

    So many people talk about their dreams. Jodi takes action!

    I know they’ll both be SO inspired by what Jodi is doing. Also glad you focused on getting PR — people think it’s much harder than it really is so they don’t even try.

    Thanks for demystifying that and for helping your readers see that it takes time to build a business… and a dream. But it never happens unless you begin.

    Great interview! Jodi gave a powerful message stating that she redirected her strengths toward creating something fulfilling rather than starting from scratch. Aaron, your questions at the end produced insightful answers to aspects of her business that I wanted to know more about. Definitely forwarded this on!

      @Chad Carty, awesome. Chad, what did you learn at the end that you wanted to know about? Which part was that?

  6. So awesome Aaron! Thanks for this inspiring post!

    Trying to figure out how to travel around the world playing rock n roll, changing lives, and making a good living at it! 🙂

      @Elliott (Set Yourself Freelance), I know you’re already on your way, my brother!

  7. It is such an inspiring concept. We need more and more people like Jodi who are making a difference in style (providing an experience that everyone can share with their community) rather than just a donation.
    I hope to take part in one of this trips soon.

      @Ram Dutt, amen! Yes we do need more people like her, and I’d highly recommend a trip.

      I know your vision is aligned in many ways with her Ram, let me know if you’d like a personal introduction to her.

  8. Another interesting, concise and inspiring interview!

    I love hearing about people using their talents from a previous career to truly pursue their passion!

    Keep up the great and valued work.
