Welcome to Thrilling Heroics – a blog for college students and young professionals with Big Dreams!

My name is Cody McKibben and I’m a recent college graduate, a writer, an accomplished business blogging consultant, and a Gen-Y observer in this conversation age. Thrilling Heroics provides a twenty-something voice in the blog community.

Welcome. I hope you enjoy the free information available here on ThrillingHeroics.com!

Optimize your Life, Rock your Career, and Make the World your Playground!

Thrilling Heroics is a career-oriented blog for the growing Generation-Y community, focused on leadership, personal development, productivity, personal finance, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle design. I encourage college students and young professionals to strive for excellence and make a positive difference in the world.

I do my part by writing about my experiments with topics like personal branding and business networking, and by featuring interviews and stories about successful leaders and changemakers that I hope will inspire you to leverage everything they’ve got in pursuit of your goals.

Follow along with my adventures as I learn—watch me attempt to sidestep the traditional corporate world, concentrate on personal growth, travel around the world, and create an ideal lifestyle! And remember that this site is dedicated to helping other students and recent grads learn new skills, share their own experiences with personal and professional development, personal finance, productivity, leadership and success, and promote and support members of the Gen-Y community at large.

What People Are Saying

[Thrilling Heroics is] filled with motivation and pure DRIVE…What caught my attention was Cody’s goal of pursuing a master’s program at Stanford University, then after reading his blogs, I was hooked by the content.

Cody McKibben has the kind of mindful optimism that will eventually save civilization from staggering from catastrophe to catastrophe like a drunk in a dark room. One can only hope that his generation pulls off this neat, but thus far elusive, trick of inoculating the general populace from insanity.
