Meet Eric Sierra | Content Creator & Influencer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Eric Sierra and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Eric, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Throughout the years, I have always considered myself to be a risk-taker. In my mind, risk equals opportunity. I have been blessed enough to face countless opportunities where my life has changed its course due to the risks I’ve been willing to take. Like the iconic quote goes: “No risk, no reward.” To be fully transparent, I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for those times I challenged myself to take a leap. I’d like to think that I encourage my audiences to step out of their comfort zones and take risks everyday. From the bigger more obvious risks like jumping out of an airplane for a once in a lifetime adventure to the smaller yet just as powerful risks like being confident and staying true to yourself on a day to day basis. Ultimately, I believe risk taking is the first step to getting closer to your goals, so I will continue to take on risks and inspire others to do the same.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I feel very grateful and most proud of being able to travel for a living and work with like-minded people who support me. My journey started a few years ago with me filming and editing videos all from my iPhone 5. Then, I started taking myself more seriously and invested my time and money on travel experiences as well as my equipment. I focused on building my portfolio and expanding my skills which eventually opened doors for me. I was able to meet other creators and work with companies who share similar values as mine. At times, it wasn’t easy but it all led me to where I am now, and most of my experiences, good and bad, make for good stories to tell. Good things take time, and I’ve learned that you have to trust yourself and your craft. In the end, what makes you unique in this field is your set of skills and creativity. The lifestyle I portray now was built on hours behind the camera and my laptop learning how I could grow, improve, and prepare for any future obstacles that might come my way. I look forward to more opportunities to showcase my work and share what I do with my audiences.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m usually not home for long, but when I have the opportunity to have friends visit my area I love to share my favorite activities with them. I would start off by heading to the mountains whether that includes snowboarding, skiing, hiking, or just driving around. I have a couple go-to spots with the best views away from the tourists here in Colorado. I also enjoy taking them to my favorite local restaurants. Lastly, my friends can’t leave a trip without me at least trying to convince them to go skydiving!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

If I could dedicate a shoutout to anyone, it’d be my family. My parents and my sister have always supported my passion for travel and content creation. They’ve helped me grow, personally and professionally. Without their efforts and encouragement, I wouldn’t have been able to experience all the crazy things I’ve done in the past couple of years.
