Love is Stronger Than Fear

I live in Las Vegas. This is my home.

Here are a few things that happened today:

Thousands stood in line for 6-8+ hours to donate blood. Hundreds more donated water, snacks and shade. Locals gathered on Facebook to offer free housing, rides, and pet-sitting for victims and volunteers. Airlines donated free flights to […]

#77: What I’ve Learned From 9 Years of Nonstop Travel, with Geraldine DeRuiter, The Everywhereist

“Have you ever tried to stop-peeing midstream? It’s like trying to put spray cheese back in the can. The damage has been done, and the only thing left to do is try to enjoy yourself.”

That’s a quote from a deleted chapter in a book written by (in my opinion) one of the funniest bloggers […]

#53: Live Q&A on Real Estate, Travel, and Why I Refused to Work for More Than 3 Years

This podcast is a little different.

Instead of interviewing a guest, this episode is a recording of a talk I gave recently.

The audience wanted to know more about the context surrounding the decisions I’ve made regarding business, investing, and money.

Why have I only spent three years of my life in a 9-5 […]

A Backstage Peek at the Laptop Lifestyle – Tales from a Frequent Traveler

Last month, I tracked my time in 15-minute increments for a week and published the humiliating results.

Afterwards, I opened this email from a reader:

“You gave me a realistic view of what life might be like when I become an entrepreneur -– I could potentially face some of the same challenges that I […]

#37: How to Live a Remarkable Life in a Conventional World, with Chris Guillebeau

As a child, Chris Guillebeau loved learning about planets and astronauts. He also loved burgers.

When grown-ups asked “What do you want to do when you grow up?,” then-six-year-old Chris gave two answers: he wanted to either become a NASA astronaut or flip patties at Burger King.

I can relate. When I was a child, […]

Curate Your Life, and the Rest Will Follow

Flights into Vegas are fascinating.

Most of my fellow passengers are exuberant about their upcoming weekend of debauchery. They order beers after takeoff, slosh their way across the airspace and holler crazy-isms like, “if I win big, I’m upgrading to first class coming back!”

(Don’t they know it “stays in Vegas”?)

#5: How Kids Affect Your Hustle (and it’s Okay!)

My co-host Jay used to be a workaholic. He took pride in grueling 70-hour weeks.

But after Jay and his wife started having children, his priorities shifted. He works fewer hours. He earns less money than he used to. He spends more, due to the cost of childcare.

In this episode, he shares specific […]

Fire Your Boss, Travel Slowly & Reach Escape Velocity

If I’ve been conspicuously quiet on this blog lately, there’s a solid reason: I’ve been traveling nearly nonstop.

One of the benefits of no longer Working for the Man is the ability to do whatever the heck I want, and “what I want” usually involves airfare.

Life hasn’t always been this way. There are […]

This 72-Year-Old is Retiring the Right Way …

My 72-year-old dad just announced that he’s learning to drive a stick-shift. Why? Because he wants to drive – instead of relying on taxis or buses – when he travels to countries that only have manual transmissions.

And he goes to a lot of other countries. Last year he and my 72-year-old […]

“I Don’t Want to Be Ordinary” — Can This Woman Escape the Ordinary?

Here’s a recent reader question that grabbed my heart. One reader said:

“I am a single woman with children who believes I can live a great life traveling and making life grand, in spite of the statistics out there. Do you think its possible? Can you offer some saving/investing tips?”
