Ben Huh on Common Founder Mistakes, Stepping Down as Cheezburger CEO and Traveling the World

Ben Huh is an entrepreneur and world traveler. He calls himself an Internet Content Connoisseur and from 2007 - 2015, he was CEO of The Cheezburger Network, which includes the popular blogs I Can Has Cheezburger, FAIL Blog and Know Your Meme among many, many others. Now, for the last 9 months since he's stepped down from the company, he's been on a whirlwind sabbatical of a lifetime, visiting bucket list type places like Africa, Antarctica, Cuba, and Easter Island to name only a few. I caught up with him in between exotic destinations during a 24-hour layover in his hometown of Seattle to chat about why he's traveling, the importance of moderation (specifically as it relates to politics and getting along), why he feels guilty while he's on the road and what the future holds — not just for his journey, but also for all of our digital lives.  Full show notes available: andreawien.com/ben-huh
