Value proposition

Roadtrip Nation creates and distributes best-in-class career exploration content, products, and experiences to help individuals pursue fulfilling careers based on what’s important to them. We’re one part media company, one part career education platform, and one hundred percent mission-driven.

We believe there’s power in doing work that’s true to who you are. That’s why we’ve dedicated ourselves to helping people explore career possibilities that connect to their interests. We seek out inspiring individuals who’ve built lives around what they love, then share their stories in award-winning documentaries on public television and an online archive featuring thousands of conversations about struggle and success. We also provide a process for how to navigate the career journey, with curriculums, career discovery resources, live events, and our New York Times best-selling career guide, Roadmap. Along the way, we have benefited from world-class partnerships with great brands, foundations, and people who are passionate about making change in the world.

We took our first road trip in 2001, driven by the question of how to build a life doing what you love. The answers we found showed us that this was bigger than our journey alone. Since then, we’ve been driven by one mission: to create a movement of people empowered to define their own roads in life.
