The Inspired Nomads

by The Inspired Nomads

Inspiring mid-career professionals, frustrated with life and lack of career fulfillment, to transform their lives by taking the risk to leave stability to follow their dreams. You'll love this podcast if you've awoken to the fact that you have too many years left to retire from an unsatisfying job. Life is uncertain, and you know you'd love to travel the world, or pursue something you're passionate about full time, but you're stuck thinking this life is only for millenials or rich people. Wrong! Listen in and you'll meet people who left stable income in their late 30s, 40s, and even 60s(!) to travel full time. Some of them quit just to travel, others left to grow a business while traveling. You'll learn their stories, epiphanies and even practical tips on how to afford life as a nomad.
