How To Take Mini-Retirements & Enjoy Life Now
I did an interview with Jamila Souffrant pre-COVID (in 2018 to be exact) that I hadn’t previously shared. Jamila found me having stumbled upon my TEDx talk. Coincidentally, it turns out we were both featured by CBS as part of a series on financial independence they had done just weeks earlier.
This interview focuses more on personal finance than business finance and it’s particularly relevant during the COVID era as so many people are exploring and experiencing new ways to work and live. I hope you enjoy it and learn something new.
In this interview (which starts 5 mins into the recording), we discuss:
- How taking time off to reflect, refresh, and reposition actually benefits financial well-being
- Why lifelong learning and personal reinvention is key to professional success and personal fulfillment, and
- What the FIRE (financial independence, retire early) community is, why I think its philosophies are misguided, why I generally don't believe in it, and what people can do instead.
