Brett,

Thanks man! I love meeting and learning about interesting people and Nate is
def one of them. Regarding SocialDreamium, I was reluctant to close things
down officially. It's not easy to admit a failure but I think that you're
right, it's the right move in the long run and hopefully I'll learn enough
this time around to make the next go a success. I hope things are going well
with Nectar!
Cheers,
Ryan

Such a great interview Ryan. One of my dreams is to work from Mexico for a summerso this had some great practical tips to help get me too that end. I also appreciate your honesty about social dremium – not many entrepreneurs have the self esteem to admit that. With your willingness to learn I know it's only a matter of time until your successful.

Answers to Nate's Questions:

What are your plans for SocialDreamium?
Right now SocialDreamium is a bit confused. We set out to solve a good problem, but the our issue was that to many other people were solving the problem too. Other companies who had more resources (people, time, funding) were able to develop really good applications that were quite honestly better than ours. I'm going to be posting a detailed lessons learned posts on TDIA in the next few weeks.

Where do you plan on traveling next?
I always love this question. It puts pressure on to keep exploring the world. Right now I have 2 things in the works, both wedding related. 1st is my honeymoon. Right now we're leaning towards Costa Rica. It has the resort/adventure combo that my fiance and I are looking for. Also, it's some good pressure to work on my spanish again.
2nd, is my bachelor party, obviously will come before my wedding. Some buddies are planning a mans trip to Colorado where we're going to take a survival skills course, go whitewater rafting, go fly fishing, go moto-Xing and close the extended weekend by going to the shooting range.
All around man zone and a good way to end the single life!

Wow, amazing choice for the primary photo. I didn't even realize that existed. I'll have to thank Lisa for making that public.
