#19. Dave Gallant - Live Life On Your Terms

“ A lot of times we think in the frame of mind that we have to create the full product right away ...but there is almost always a more effective way” Dave Gallant ( dave_gallant ) took a trip to Manhattan to get some fresh Ideas for his tech incubator. Ideas did he get but they wouldn't be what you expected. Dave grew up in Canada and enjoy snowboarding life and everything that came with that. Enjoying the punk rock scene, traveling all the time and converting a large van into a type of mobile home to accommodate the life style. A lifestyle that would pull on his heart strings for many years to come. After his return from New York, Dave realized even though he enjoyed what he was doing in the corporate world, there was something very important missing in his life, Freedom. Dave has always felt a pull towards a more nomadic life. One without as many rules and expectations, one that allows you to unplug from the routine and live life in your moment. He started a Tumblr page centered around the concept. Little did he know this would be the cornerstone to building the powerhouse brand Gridless Life. After some careful thought and consideration he quit his job and listed all of his belongings to be sold online and trade his 1500 sq ft apartment for his 62 sq ft van and his freedom. After 5 months of being a nomad he was surprised to feel a sense of homelessness and disconnect in a way that wasn't expected. It was the value of a homebase of operations or a pillar of belonging that he was missing.
