PODCAST
Check out our podcast below where we talk about Life Design, Purpose and Alternative Paths to FI
The road to Financial Independence (FI) can seem long and out of reach. Luckily, there are ways to get freedom way before reaching FI!
Using FI strategies and Life Design, we discuss practical tips to help you buy your time back, so you can start enjoying your journey to FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early), instead of delaying your freedom until you retired.
Whether you want to be debt free, quit a job, spend more time with family, start a passion project, change career, take a sabbatical, find purpose, do nomadic travel or even geographic arbitrage, we got you covered. Let’s do this!
