Final Call for Guests + Why Dirtbag Rich Matters
Final Call for Guests + Why Dirtbag Rich Matters
Tietoa podcastista
How do you build a life of freedom, travel, nature, and meaningful work?
Join author Blake Boles (blakeboles.com) as he dives deep with working adults who have managed to strike that elusive balance of time, money, and purpose—without giving up on their wildest dreams.
These vulnerable and provocative conversations reveal how everyday people create lives filled with wilderness adventure, creative expression, frequent exploration, and financial stability—no trust fund required.
Each guest shares their unique flavor of "dirtbag rich": a way of living that prioritizes time wealth, personal relationships, and transformative experiences over luxury, comfort, and excess security.
("Dirtbag" is a badge of honor in climbing and hiking communities, describing someone so devoted to their passion that they trade conventional success for the chance to do what they love, full-time.)
Visit dirtbagrich.com for full transcripts and updates on Blake's forthcoming book, Dirtbag Rich: Low Income, High Freedom, Deep Purpose.
