Ever dreamt of turning your passion into your income stream? We’ve all been there. But what’s stopping you from actually doing it?

One person who’s turned their passion into their full time income is Jeff Jenkins. Jeff Jenkins is an award-winning content creator, travel journalist, TV host, and entrepreneur. Named one of Travel + Leisure’s 50 Notable People in Travel, he is the founder of Chubby Diaries and co-founder of Black Travel Alliance.

Rachel caught up with Jeff at the ROI summit to hear more about where his love of travel originates from, and how he’s made this hobby into an unshakable 6-figure career. 

For every year that Jeff worked as a high school choir teacher, he told himself he would quit. But he couldn’t do it until his stepfather died of a heart attack at 54. Shaken to his core, he reevaluated his life and ultimately reconnected with his childhood love for exploration. Today, he is living his dream, exploring the world, and inspiring others to do the same. So, what’s stopping you?
