I was on a podcast. It’s called
Fighting Failure. The podcast is mostly meant for people considering or making entrepreneurial efforts, but he thought my story would be useful for his target audience.
My episode can be heard here:
Fighting Failure Episode 6 – A Path to Freedom. We talk mostly about personal finance, early retirement, and reducing spending. It’s 30 minutes long. It’s a pretty basic conversation. Those already well-versed with FIRE/ERE won’t learn much new. If you’d like to put a voice to the name, here you go.
How it happened:Not long after arriving in San Diego, I hung out with an old friend for a weekend. One evening, a friend of his invited us to meet them at a bar/restaurant to watch some UFC fights. While there, my friend was telling one guy (Jared) about me being retired, living in the van, and traveling. Earlier, I’d overheard Jared telling another about a project he was working on. Some stuff about how people don’t go after their dreams (enough) because they let their fear of failure get in the way. Jared talked to me a bit and asked me if I’d be on his podcast. Sure, what the hell.
