The universe is predicated on abundance. Our existence, our Planet, our communities, our love, our communications, all of this is all abundance. That's what we need to tap into. - Marko Ruble
Imagine a Wyoming entrepreneur who started his journey in the heart of Cody, Wyoming with a childhood filled with adventures, family travels and curiosity. Little did he know that his upbringing in the land of high altitudes and low multitudes would spark an innovative transformation in the travel industry. In this episode we go on a journey that led him to create AI-driven smart maps in a state with a population slightly bigger than Fresno, California, but with the potential to impact the world. Discover how this entrepreneur's Wyoming roots and abundance mindset shaped his path, and how his solution-focused approach can inspire aspiring entrepreneurs to embrace problem-solving and strategy.
