Roadtrip Nation is a multimedia project that started when four college friends lacking career direction went on a summer roadtrip to interview inspiring people about "how they came to do what they love for a living". In the process, they met people like the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, the founder of Starbucks, Michael Jordan's sneaker designer at Nike, a Supreme Court judge and Maddona's stylist. Roadtrip Nation has spun off a PBS series, three books, an online community and an annual program for college students.
