Do you know those people on Instagram or Facebook that always seem
to post manicured photos from a mountain top or a beautiful
beach? If you’re like us, it all seems a little suspicious.
Do they ever work? Did they cash out? What am I doing
wrong with my life?
Today’s guest is actually living that life, and frankly, we’re a
little envious. His name is Cameron Olthuis, and he’s a Hall
of Famer when it comes to living the opt out life. Cameron is
the founder of a kids-only apparel company (BeSawyer.com) that encourages kids to
get outside, hike and explore. It’s a company that he
launched on the back of running a mix of successful side gigs and
businesses that all made their money online.
For over 15 years now, Cameron has alternated living at the beach
in Southern California, to the mountains in Park City, Utah to
lakefront over the summer in Montana. You’ll find him hitting
the slopes on a Tuesday in between conference calls, which is made
embarrassingly easy given that his office is in a hotel at the base
of his home mountain. It’s a way of life Cameron was raised
to appreciate, by a family that prioritized being active, being
outdoors, and choosing to take a day off together, especially if it
meant trading time away from the rat race.
On a recent Friday, we grabbed 3 glasses of Park City’s own High
West whiskey and circled up with our boy Cameron to hear more about
how the hell he pulls this all off. Mentioned in this ep:
