8 months and 10 days ago I started working on the best business idea I had ever come up with my life. I called it Explorio and it was supposed to become a travel reviews platform that rewards its users for writing travel reviews thus allowing them to fund their travels indefinitely.
As passionate as I was about Explorio, we faced some obstacles on the way that we couldn't resolve and eventually had to close down the project, netting me a loss of over $100,000 and making me the only person who lost money on this venture.
Most people seem to be ashamed to talk about their failures, but I think it's a total waste. That's why I wanted to make this video and share the biggest professional failure of mine ever since launching my first company 9 years ago.
Hope it will inspire you to never give up reaching your dreams.

The perspective shift of believing that you invested $100,000 into your personal university is simply brilliant.

As I am currently 25 years old but I feel like those 25 years of my life are total waste, I feel I've completely let myself down for not being more courageous in my own decisions and always being scared of failure. Today I feel like I haven't achieved anything at all. I am not happy with my life. There are so many things that I wanted do with my life, so many places that I want see with my own eyes, so many things I want to experience and on the other hand time just running away with a blink of an eye, but I wanna say Thank You for making this video, it was very helpful, your videos have always helped. Thank You. I hope we meet one day and I get to travel with you one day.

Guys, thank you very much for joining the Premiere. I posted quite a few stories on my Instagram from it (you can find them here: www.instagram.com/jacoblaukaitis/), but I was incredibly happy to see that eventually we had 500 people watching real-time. That is absolutely insane! Hope this video will inspire you to never give up reaching for your dreams and will help you remember that you can be absolutely anything you want to be. Love you to the moon and back, Exploriors ā¤ļø

Jacob, you NEVER cease to amaze me with your videos. I've always been hard on myself whenever I've failed at something. But your message at the beginning of the video really struck a chord inside of me. Although one might not achieve his or her main goal, it's the path and effort that he or she takes that defines who they are. Life isn't always fair (such as your experience in Thailand), but it's how you combat those obstacles and stay on your feet to keep moving forward. I feel that your videos provide that message. People around the world are different in terms of different cultures or beliefs. But as you said at the end of the day, we're all just human, and I feel that everyone is good at heart. Thanks for being an inspiration to me and millions around the world!
