Do Something Else
Create Something Else
Discover Something Else
The world is full of people doing amazing, original things – startups, community projects, local businesses, and fresh ideas that make life more interesting.
At SomethingElse, we shine a light on these independent makers, doers, and dreamers who are bringing something different to the table.
Our goal is to celebrate their journeys… and to inspire others to take their own leap, whether that means starting something new or shifting into more fulfilling lives, jobs and careers.
Our Latest Features, Guides & Interviews
We spotlight unique places, projects, and people – sharing their stories and helping them stand out on a local x global stage.
We inspire people to change jobs, start a business, or launch a side-hustle
The world is changing fast…driven by AI, new technology, and the way we work. The big question coming up is: What kind of future do we want to create and live in?
Will we settle for a world where every city and career looks the same…or build one where people design meaningful lives, launch bold ideas, and make an impact on their own terms?
Change can feel overwhelming, but it’s also full of opportunity. Many of today’s most exciting jobs didn’t exist just a few years ago…and the next wave is already here.
Life is Short: This is your moment to take control, future‑proof your career, and bring your own ideas to life.
