Summary

Dr. Dahle's good friend, Dr. Matt Morgan, joins us on the podcast today. Dr. Morgan just completed a one year sabbatical that was all about living intentionally and creating the life he wants now, not after retirement. Matt talked about his desire to be able to say yes to the things he loves any time he wanted to. He and his family spent time at home as well as traveling to New Zealand and all over Europe. He is a great example of not necessarily needing to reach FIRE to travel and take time off and do what you want to do. He shares how he prepared for the year, how he talked to his employer about the time off, how his family participated and everything else that went into making this adventure possible.

Today’s episode is brought to us by SoFi, the folks who help you get your money right.
