Charles Scott, a fellow speaker at October’s Meet Plan Go! event in NYC, mentions Reboot Your Life on the latest CNBC Guest Blog:
“I told the audience about enlightened employers like Intel Corporation where I worked for fourteen years, that provide full-time employees a paid two-month sabbatical every seven years. One of my fellow speakers, Rita Foley, co-author of Reboot Your Life, conducted interviews with hundreds of people who had taken a career break to travel. She said that, “We could not find a single person who had regretted the decision.”
Charles Scott is an endurance athlete and family adventurer. He spent 14 years working at Intel Corporation before deciding to focus his energy full-time on writing, speaking and doing endurance challenges with his family linked to environmental causes. In the summer of 2009, he and his eight-year old son Sho rode connected bicycles the length of mainland Japan, covering 2,500 miles in 67 days. They were named “Climate Heroes” by the United Nations as they raised money for a global tree planting campaign. And in the summer of 2011, he cycled 1,500 miles around Iceland on connected bicycles with his ten-year old son and four-year old daughter, once again sponsored by the UN as “Climate Heroes”: www.icelandbikeadventure.com. Charles is writing a book about the Japan ride called Rising Son. He is an inspiration for Reboot-ers everywhere!
