I met Brett Farmiloe by e-mail. I am glad his message did not go to spam. I was immediately taken by his idea to travel around the country and talk to people about pursuing their passion. In the summer of 2006, I helped sponsor his journey.

Brett graduated with a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Arizona in May 2006. Upon graduation he and two other students traveled over 10,000 miles to interview 100 individuals on the “Pursue the Passion” tour to learn about key characteristics of passionate people. Brett chronicled his experiences and interviews on the web site, PursuethePassion.com. He has launched another 14,000-mile journey in 2007 to continue to inspire students and adults to do what they want in life.
