About this listen

You didn't choose where you were born, the system you grew up in, or the script handed to you. But you can choose what comes next. Every week I'll be sharing stories and tools from 15 years of living abroad and designing a life for the information age.

    Where You're Born vs. Where You're Meant to Be

    Most people never question the life they were handed. I did — at 12 years old, standing in a Cincinnati classroom reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, hand over heart, wondering if everyone around me was being conditioned and nobody had noticed.

    That question followed me for the next two decades across 7 countries and 4 continents.

    In this first episode:

    • The moment at 12 that started everything, and why it wouldn't go away
    • How moving 2,000 miles from Ohio to Arizona proved the theory: same person, different environment, completely different life
    • The Melbourne discovery, what it felt like to be fully myself for the first time, and why it took leaving the country to get there
    • How Taiwan paid off my student loans in 18 months working 25 hours a week — and what that proved about geography as a financial tool

    This isn't a travel show. It's a show about using the world — and the tools most people aren't using — to build a life worth living.
