Oh, hai!

You found Amber Rae! I’m currently living in Boulder via Barcelona, New York City, San Francisco and originally, Chicago. 

Me in 15 seconds:

  • I dream of world in which everyone is awake to their full potential, fearlessly giving their gifts to the world, and living on their own terms. 
  • I collect moments, not things. I once quit my stable job, sold all my belongings, gave nearly all my clothes away to charity, and booked a one-way ticket from San Francisco to New York because it felt right. This kickstarted my journey toward realizing my full potential.
  • After years of working with big brands and people I respect like Apple, Seth Godin and Derek Sivers, I’m on a personal quest to be self-employed for life and actualize the dream world I imagine. 
  • I’m obsessed with behavior change, self-awareness, music, adventure, and challenging conformity.

What I do and have done:

  • I help people unleash their full potential and give their dreams direction with The Passion Experiment. I’m currently working on scaling this concept. 
  • I created revolution.is. We share stories of remarkable people living unconventional lives. 
  • I spoke at TEDxCMU about The Art of Being Unreasonable and how to astray from the mainstream.
  • With Ryan Allis, I co-founded and led the launch of a new social media division of iContact called iConnect.
  • I was selected from hundreds to help Seth Godin launch The Domino Project.
  • I helped Derek Sivers edit, publish and market his book which shot to #1 on all of its Amazon categories.
  • I turned insomnia into a global movement via New York Nightowls.
  • I forged creative collaborations between Photojojo and Tumblr, Busted Tees, Vimeo, Thrillist and Squarespace. 
  • I launched word-of-mouth marketing programs for Dove, Frito-Lay, Kimberly-Clark and Kodak.
  • I introduced the Apple MacBook line to my college.
  • I’ve been seen in Fast Company, The New York Times, Huffington Post, ABC World News, Inc., BBC and Forbes.
