Hey guys! If you’ve ended up here, chances are most likely you’ve sent me an email and got an automated response. I apolgize for that, but please understand I’m making a serious effort to move my focus towards creating, producing results for the good people who pay me, and spending time with people I enjoy and doing the things I love most. The sad reality for all of us is that email gets in the way of that.

I frequently get the same questions over and over again, so hopefully there are some helpful answers for you below:

Questions about the Thrilling Theme? Please search for the Help & Support section on this page and if you don’t find an answer for your problem, post comments here to seek help from the larger community of people using the theme. Unforunately I am bombarded with emails about this free theme and don’t have the time to provide free help & customization. (I am open to developers who are willing to provide support or improve the open-source theme though!) If you need basic WP help, I recommend contacting the WordPress HelpCenter at 1-303-395-1346 (Provide code: 14406) if you are in the US.

Questions about Thailand or need advice for your upcoming trip to Southeast Asia? I put together this thorough article full of travel tips for first timers to Thailand specifically for you!

If you want advice on recommended tools, software, apps, gadgets, and resources for lifestyle design and location independence, make sure you see my Resources page.

Other questions:

What’s your story?

I’ve worked 17+ (mostly random) jobs in my life, graduated university with a degree in Humanities/History in 2006, worked full-time in an office full of great people and learned a lot about business (for a College of Business) for a short time, but decided it wasn’t for me, quit and started my own web development business in 2007, and made the choice to move abroad in late 2008. You can read more about me here and read more about why I started Thrilling Heroics here.

I’ve traveled to 20+ countries and if you’re interested, you can see a map of my travels and selected videos here.

What work do you do? What kind of services do you provide?

Some of the projects I’m currently involved in:

My main business is Thrilling Heroics Consulting, where my team and I provide dedicated, effective online business development and social media marketing services for really rad people and organizations. I generally spend my time helping people build communities, providing technical/internet marketing consulting on projects that aim to solve social problems, helping cool companies & individuals identify influencers in their niche, and building a network of people talking about what you’re doing. I also provide a limited amount of web design services on projects that really inspire me.

Are you available to take on my (work) project?

I have a limited number of slots for new clients each quarter. If you’re working on something truly remarkable, please be sure to take a moment to read more about our services to understand what we can do for you, and dig through the Thrilling Heroics Consulting site. Also be aware that our web development projects (i.e., building a full website for you) typically start at $2,500 US and up, and consulting packages start at $500 US/month.

Can you take a look at my blog/project?

Unfortunately this is a question I receive many times a week. I love to get to know the incredible folks who take the time to come visit my site, and if you leave comments or send email, I frequently do actually click through to check out what you’re working on, but I could spend years “taking a look” at this and that for others and not accomplish much else, so please don’t be offended if I say no or if I don’t get back to you.

Can I send you a book, audio program, or other product for evaluation?

I do occasionaly review ebooks and digital products/courses that my friends and colleagues put out there, or review affiliate products that I actually use and trust, but this is not really a product review site. Of course, I’d be delighted if you want to send me a free copy of your ebook or other digital products, but I cannot make any promises that I’ll review the item on Thrilling Heroics. If you use my photography in a printed book/magazine or want to send copies of your business book for review, please make sure and follow up with me by email to get my mailing address, but understand I am based in Thailand.

What advice would you give to other bloggers/entrepreneurs who want to be successful?

Of course, I’m still learning, but Thrilling Heroics exists to answer this question. I love getting your specific questions by email and will try to respond or sometimes answer your question on the blog, but please be sure to read Choosing the Life Path Less Taken, Live a Remarkable Life, and A Student’s Guide to Mastering the Universe, which should get you off to a good start…

If you want someone to give you a comprehensive course full of practical advice that will help you build a successful online business, then I’d highly recommend Chris Guillebeau’s year-long guided course Empire Building Kit, or Josh Kauffman’s Personal MBA program.

Can you link to my blog/website?

I don’t participate in link exchanges, but occasionally I’ll add my favorite sites and the best resources & tools I find to my Resources page. We do showcase sponsors with ads in our sidebar—if you want to purchase a link on Thrilling Heroics, please make sure you fill out the form on our Advertising page. If you’re a regular reader, you’re welcome to shoot me an email to tell me about individual posts you’ve written if they relate to what I talk about here at TH, but I can’t guarantee to link to all such submissions, and please don’t email me link requests if we’ve never spoken in any other fashion before.

Do you accept guest posts?

Yes. But when you contact me, please either have something finished & ready to pitch to me, or propose at least 2-3 specific ideas. Don’t make me do the brainstorming.

What theme are you using on Thrilling Heroics? Is it available for download?

My site runs on an extremely customized Aparatus theme from Fearless Flyer. If you want it to look like mine, you’ll need to hire me to do the custom design! ;)

How long has Thrilling Heroics been online?

Since about June, 2006.

How can I follow all the genius stuff you put out!? And how can I thank you with a donation?

Alright, these aren’t really common questions, but I’d love it if you subscribed to Thrilling Heroics by RSS subscription or to my private mailing list. If you’d like to support Thrilling Heroics, you can make a donation if you have some spare cash laying around. If you can’t get enough heroics, you can read my genius strokes on Twitter, or connect with me on Facebook if you really want to follow all the projects I’m working on and see my articles elsewhere… ;)
