You don’t need to reinvent yourself to create freedom, you just need to start sharing what you already know.
In this episode, I talk about one of the simplest and most authentic business models out there: learning in public and turning your knowledge, skills, and experiences into income.
From my early Facebook marketing days to building a million-dollar Amazon business, to what I’m doing right now with The 50+ Nomad — every step of my journey has come down to the same rhythm: learn, do, teach.
If you’re in your 50s or beyond and wondering how to build something meaningful without the overwhelm, this episode will show you exactly where to start — with what you already know, love, and do naturally.
