George West

George left a high-pressure Wall Street career at 32 to recover from burnout, embarking on a six-month solo backpacking trip that unexpectedly led him to discover a passion for caving and highway exploration. After meeting his New Zealand-born wife during his travels, he relocated to Auckland and founded a successful remote-work tech consultancy that allows him to balance CEO responsibilities with extended family adventure trips, documenting their experiences to inspire other corporate professionals to reconnect with nature without abandoning their careers.
