He wanted to get into their mindset, so he sought out their stories and found a good sampling in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/30-under-30\/2018\/#330ffb5b1aaf\">Forbes 30 under 30 list<\/a>. The hundreds of profiles he saw made for an interesting read, but didn\u2019t go into the detail he was hoping for, and that left him with several questions:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do these people do first thing in the morning? What is their day made up of? How do they overcome when they\u2019re in a funk? What are examples of failures or setbacks?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuderman decided he\u2019d have to find the answers himself, and that\u2019s when he set out to write his own book about successful people under the age of 30.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did this as a passion project,\u201d he says. \u201cNow I get to share it, and I\u2019m excited about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuderman\u2019s book, <em>30 &amp; Under: Short Life Advice from Outliers Under 30<\/em>, features profiles of 70 young people from around the world. They\u2019ve all excelled in their areas\u2014from marketing and medicine to sports and entertainment. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/30-UNDER-Short-Advice-Outliers-ebook\/dp\/B07D24G9SK\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1526420231&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=30+and+under+advice\">The book will be available in paperback and electronic versions on May 24.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Among the profiles in the book:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"default\">\n<li>Atisha Patel, 30, biomedical engineer working in research and development of bio systems, consulting, nonprofits, and early stage startups, on what she does when feeling overwhelmed. \u201cIf I can\u2019t focus, I do a quick workout and get back to work. It\u2019s a reminder that hard work pays off. If I feel overwhelmed, I\u2019ll meditate and remind myself things always get better.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>David Vasquez, 23, associate director of government affairs and policy, U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, on how passion for his work has changed his life. \u201cIf I\u2019ve ever reached the point of saying \u2018getting through the work week,\u2019 then I\u2019ll know I\u2019ve lost interest. I\u2019m a strong believer that I never want to \u2018get through\u2019 anything. I want to challenge myself and embrace it.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Brett Podolsky, 29, entrepreneur, former comic, and co-founder of premium dog food company The Farmer\u2019s Dog, on what he would tell his 17-year-old self. \u201cRead! Believe it or not, you do not know everything.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cuderman says there are two themes he saw pop up throughout the profiles in the book\u2014young people who are successful are committed to continuing their own growth and helping others as well.<\/p>\n<p>The author himself learned a few things while writing the book, which he says has \u201ca ton of good ideas.\u201d For one, he found all of the accomplished young people he included in the book had a very specific routine. Whether that\u2019s going to the gym first thing in the morning, planning out their weekly schedules on Sunday nights, or three hours of reading every day, routine is an important part of their lives. Cuderman says he does some of those same things, but admits he didn\u2019t realize an exact routine was such an important part of being successful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At 27, Peter Cuderman &#8217;18 has already accomplished a lot.
