    Dec 5 2025

    You’ve been told to max out your 401(k), diversify, and hope the market cooperates. But what if there were a faster, safer, and more tangible way to build your retirement — one that creates real cash flow today and long-term security for tomorrow?

    In this episode of Free & Clear, Jon Mykala sits down with Kate Stoermer, who walked away from a high-paying corporate career and built herfinancial safety net through short-term rentals. Together, they unpack the strategy behind replacing income, generating cash flow, and creating financial runway using properties you can control — not just stocks you can’t.

    You’ll learn:
    • How short-term rentals can accelerate retirement savings
    • The “runway” formula Kate used before leaving her job
    • Why freedom doesn’t come from saving — it comes from cash flow

    If you’ve ever wondered how to turn properties into a personal pension plan, this episode is your roadmap.
