Rethink Retirement: Become Your Own Nonprofit - with Eric Walker.

from Durable Entrepreneurs · host Sean O'Hara, MBA

On this episode, Sean interviews Eric Walker, a full-time servant adventurer and entrepreneur who has dedicated his life to living as a "one-man nonprofit". Instead of retiring, Eric chose to pursue a life of profound meaning and contribution, using his skills to help others around the world. KEY TAKEAWAYS A life focused on significance can be more fulfilling than one focused solely on success, especially in later years. You can create a nonprofit lifestyle without the administrative burden by partnering with an umbrella organization that handles the paperwork and finances. To find your passion, do a personal self-assessment and look at the needs of the world. You can start by getting additional training, such as an English teaching certification, which can open many doors. The digital age allows individuals to build a personal brand and connect directly with supporters, creating a more personal and authentic relationship than with large corporations. BEST MOMENTS "Half of all small businesses fail in their first five years, but you are not going to be one of them." "I for one, I want to live till I die." "Sometimes people can tend to live smaller lives than they are capable of." "I don't want to retreat in my later years, I want to advance." "I don't think there's that much to be afraid of. God's just as able to take care of me over there as he is over here." HOST BIO Meet Your Host: Sean O’Hara, MBA – Entrepreneur, Sales Strategist, and Relentless Business Optimist.
