His father worked for a petrochemical company and traveled frequently. As a result, Orwell lived in Saudi Arabia, Japan and Houston, Texas before attending high school in Canada.[4] By the time he graduated and began studying computer engineering at the University of Toronto,[5] Orwell was running several popular gaming-related websites. The success of his websites made it difficult for Orwell to maintain his university grades, which resulted in a loss of his full scholarship and nearly caused him to drop out.[3] After Orwell finished his degree, he sold several websites, retired and became a digital nomad, which allowed him to spend five years traveling the world and living in the United States and South America.[4] Upon returning to Toronto, he purchased Examine.com for $41,000 and began developing it.[6] Websites and businessesOrwell’s websites and businesses have included aggregators like Dealcatch.com, virtual currency resellers serving online gamers and local search engines. He has bought and sold many domains and websites, including Beat.com, BusinessLoan.org, and Webmaster.org, but claims he “was never good at [domains]," which is why he focused on business development instead.[4] By "understanding the underlying numbers" for his businesses and tracking data, Orwell is able to focus his time on the metrics that most help a specific website improve.[7] Current work and philosophyOrwell describes himself as semi-retired, which allows him to travel three to four months out of the year.[3][8] Orwell has stepped back from an active role in Examine.com to focus on other projects. He blogs about business development in the context of making money online on [//www.SJO.com SJO.com] and serves on the advisory board for Schwarzenegger.com as a health and fitness expert.[9][10] In January 2016, Orwell inspired "#cookielife", an online movement which resulted in his followers baking and mailing him cookies. Over two hundred individuals participated from around the world, with flavors including chocolate chip, hazelnut, and triple chocolate, in the style of cookies, brownies, and pies.[11][12][13] By November 2016, he had posted over 50 pictures of various desserts sent to him via the #cookielife and shared his #cookielife experience in Men's Health.[14][15] Orwell also hosted a "Cookie Off," inviting 18 bakers to compete in a chocolate chip cookie baking competition.[16] As of February 2018, Sol Orwell retired his #cookielife after receiving over 200 cookies in the mail.[17] In July 2018, Orwell hosted his Toronto Chocolate Chip Cookie Off, raising over $100,000 for charity.[18] PhilanthropyIn 2017, Orwell began to harness #cookielife for philanthropy by hosting another Cookie Off in New York City, inviting 33 bakers[19] to compete and donating the proceeds from ticket sales to charity.[20][21] The event raised $30,000 for She's the First, a charity supporting girls' education in developing economies.[22] In 2018, Sol Orwell hosted a chocolate chip cookie off in Toronto that raised over $100,000[23] Orwell has also hosted a Sausage Showdown, with proceeds going to Community Food Centres Canada.[24] References1. ^{{cite web |url=https://examine.com/about/ |title=About Examine.com |website=Examine.com |publisher=Examine |access-date=21 July 2016 }} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.mensfitness.com/life/entertainment/game-changers-2014-sol-orwell |title=The examine.com founder is helping to further the public's knowledge about nutrition and supplements. |author=Sean Hyson |website=Mensfitness.com |publisher=Men’s Fitness |access-date= 6 January 2016 }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/elainepofeldt/2015/07/30/a-young-entrepreneurs-passion-for-hacking-his-diet-sparks-a-seven-figure-business/ |title=A Young Entrepreneur's Passion For Hacking His Diet Sparks A Seven-Figure Business |author=Elaine Pofeldt |date=30 July 2015 |website=Forbes.com |publisher=Forbes Magazine |access-date=2 January 2016 }} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.dnjournal.com/cover/2015/october-november.htm |title=Dreaming About Turning Your Domain Into a Booming Online Business?
