My friend Ian Elliott is one of those people with an insatiable desire for knowledge and a sincere love for people. As a result, if you are ever around him you will find one thing to be true, he asks the best questions.

That’s why it was no surprise when I learned about a side project he was starting that paired all of these strengths and passions into one concept. Enter The Somewhere Project…

In my own words, it’s a way for all of us to benefit from Ian’s ability to connect with great people, be encouraged by their creative projects, and get involved in what they are pursuing. Each week he highlights an interview with someone who has inspired him in some unique aspect of what they are doing.

As you most likely know at this point, I am impassioned and motivated by people who are pursuing their dreams, so Ian’s project — and the ones that he highlights — are food for my soul.

And on a side note, it’s his birthday this week. So show him some love by checking out his project or dropping him a line on Instagram or Twitter.
