Summary

On August 1st, 2018, it will be exactly two years since I left my full-time job as a software developer.

To celebrate, I've decided to release two podcast episodes that contain all the valuable lessons I learned during my first two years of freedom.

Today's episode contains everything I learned during my first year and on Wednesday (August 1st), I will release everything I learned during my second year of freedom.

It's been a wild ride so hope you enjoy the first of these two episodes!
