Summary
What would you do if you left your big-shot corporate gig to pursue an entrepreneurial venture which then fell apart?
And then you ran for public office? And lost.
And then wound up living in your in-law's garage completely flat broke.
Would you then go back, admit defeat, and rejoin the corporate grind?
Or, would you continue pursuing your dream lifestyle in a systematic way?
My guest today went through that exact process of life. And he's systematically worked to build his dream lifestyle with his family.
Today we sit down with Clark Vandeventer, author of "unWorking: Exit the Rat Race, Live Like a Millionaire, And Be Happy Now."
Clark has a very encouraging story to share and a wealth of experience in building his ideal lifestyle on the cheap.
Enjoy!
Joshua
