I’m Building a Life Without a Job

from SECOND WIND · host John Talks About

The stock market recovered. Then wiped thousands back off the account in a single day after SoFi announced what looked like strong earnings. At the same time, I’m fighting two separate legal battles connected to my late father and the hospital stay that nearly killed me in Kuala Lumpur.This episode moves between market volatility, grief, bureaucracy, and the strange reality of building a life abroad while serious problems back home refuse to disappear. British Gas. Insurance arbitration. Ombudsman complaints. £13,500 hospital bills. And trying to manage all of it yourself from a beach town in Bali.There’s also £4 foot massages, viewers recognising us in the street, joining a gym in Sanur, conversations with people who sold everything to travel the world, and the growing realisation that this life is both more stressful and more meaningful than I expected when we left the UK.
