567-Accidental Retirees (pt 2 of 2): Small Businesses that Allow Full-Time Travel and Internet Connectivity on the Road
In Part 1 of this interview (Episode 566), you met Scott & Susan, a couple who accidentally retired in their 30s and have spent the last two decades traveling the world in a sailboat and the US in a motorhome.
In today's episode, we discuss Scott's small business, Techie 4 Hire. If you have any interest in developing a location-independent business, pay attention to Scott's story of his own business. Also pay attention to some of the other types of businesses mentioned in this interview.
Finally, we discuss a bit of the technology of mobile internet connectivity. For many of us, our ability to reliably connect to the Internet from the road can open up a location-independent lifestyle.
Enjoy!

566-Accidental Retirees (pt 1 of 2) - Interview with Scott & Susan, Techie4Hire
On today's show, I bring you an interview with Scott and Susan. I think of them as "accidental early retirees."
About two decades ago they bought a sailboat, intending to travel for a year. They wound up spending a decade sailing the world together. And then for the last decade, they've traveled all around the USA, living full-time in their RV.
In Part 1 of this interview we discuss their story--the plan, the money, and the lifestyle.
In Part 2 of this interview we will discuss Scott's small business and the technology that they use that keeps them on the road full-time.
Enjoy!

476-Pathways to Financial Freedom (in 10 years or less): Expediter Trucking (and other live-on-the-job opportunities)
Yesterday I was watching the solar eclipse (up north in the 100% band) and I happened to have breakfast with an expediter.
Not sure what that is?
Basically, a truck driver who drives a van. (More in the audio show.)
As we ate, I tried to lay out a few paths on how he could become financially free based on his current work.
And, I promised him a show on the topic.
So, you get to listen in as I tell him--and you--how any normal person can use a live-on-the-job opportunity as a trampoline to bounce them into the upper tiers of financial abundance.
Enjoy!

474-The Interplay of Human & Financial Capital, Wages & Profits, Rents and Business
As I celebrate the opening of the registration page for the beta launch of the new Radical Personal Finance Guide to Career & Income Planning, I intend to share with you a few simple lessons related to career and income.
Today, we begin with the philosophical fundamentals: the interplay of human capital and financial capital. We all start with what we have (human capital) and use it to create financial capital, which we ultimately work to have in surplus. Once we have surplus, we get to decide what to do with it.
Enjoy!
