I've been spending quite a bit of time in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the U.K. as Mint is expanding globally, and I'm personally doing much of the research and business deals to make them happen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I run businesses all around the United States, all around the globe.
The Minted mission is to be a community that supports designers from all over the world and provides them with an opportunity to be discovered and build their careers.
I absolutely love working in Australia. Overseas is a lot tougher - it's really hard to break into campaigns over there.
I founded Minted in 2007 with the desire to use 'crowd-sourcing' to bring designs from the best emerging and independent designers in the world to consumers.
Every day I get to 'Think' and work on everything from digitizing electric grids so they can accommodate renewable energy and enable mass adoption of electric cars, helping major cities reduce congestion and pollution, to developing new micro-finance programs that help tiny businesses get started in markets such as Brazil, India, Africa.
One place I haven't made it to - mainly because it's so far away - is Australia, so I'd love to go there. I've heard great things about Australia and New Zealand.
I find it very beautiful to work in different countries because I see the mentality differences there. It is so rich, one always carries forward something.
I don't mind where I work, it's really nice to be able to travel around and taste the flavours of different countries.
I do a lot of traveling around the world.
I've been all over the world on my own because, as a scientist, you travel a great deal if your work is reasonably successful or published. I get invitations to go to all sorts of strange countries where I would mostly be by myself and just meet other people there, instead of having travelling companions.
