​Travel, Experiences and Adventure

I’ve used AirBnB many times and have yet to have a bad experience. Friendly accommodating hosts have welcomed me in the middle of Manhattan and and cabins in the middle of the forest.

Millennials notoriously want to see the world and AirBnB offers one of the most affordable ways to do it. A gift card this holiday offers a push out the door.

While you’re at it, capture all your crazy travel experiences with a GoPro Hero 4. Go Pro also released the Hero 4 Session, but as Marques Brownlee explains below, probably best to stick with their primary model.

Reading

As Charlie Munger has said, “In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn't read all the time -- none, zero. You'd be amazed at how much Warren (Buffett) reads--and at how much I read. My children laugh at me. They think I'm a book with a couple of legs sticking out.” Young, or old, wantrepreneurs can take a step in the right direction with classics like The Four-Hour Workweek and Crush It.

But, if you’re are looking for a more recent  piece to expand the mind, try Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari for a beautifully crafted narrative of our species. For an inspirational piece of fiction, try The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo.

Body Maintenance

Fitness and health is strongly correlated with entrepreneurial. Even if you are not in the business of personal training or selling supplements, keeping your body firing on all cylinders is a huge part of consistent, high performance.

If someone is looking to mix up their workouts, kettlebell workouts are a fun change of pace that can challenge the whole body. One of my favorite kettlebell exercises is the Turkish Get Up.

Keep yourself running all day long with some Bulletproof Coffee. If it is good enough for Dan Andrews, it’s good enough for you.

Gadgets & Style

Kind of a weird combo right? Maybe not.

Buying decisions around products like the Apple Watch include strong consideration for the aesthetic someone is trying to project. Top gadgets are status symbols and communicate to others that you’ve got money to blow.

If you are not trying to break the bank, but still flash some gadgetry, try these gadgets.

Divoom Voombox Outdoor Speakers for your next party.

DJI Phantom 3 is the favorite drone of Casey Neistat.

Amazon Echo is Siri or Google Now in a box.

Happy holidays.
