ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Most people hear "never work again" and picture a beach chair. That's not it.
Ten years ago we were eating half-price 7-Eleven sandwiches and tinned tuna in a one-bedroom apartment in Melbourne's CBD. Today we own our home, we're raising two kids, and work is optional, reached at 33. No inheritance. No lottery ticket. No overnight exit.
This first episode is the thesis for everything that follows: what work-optional actually looks like day to day, what it cost to get there, and who this podcast is not for.
In this episode:
- Why "never work again" doesn't mean not working
- What a random Tuesday looks like when work is optional
- Getting financially secure before having kids, and what that bought us
- Why we're finally talking about this publicly
- Who should stop listening right now
- What people assume about how we started, and what's actually true
- Getting fired, and what it turned into
Next episode: teenage Ashton. The products he sold online before most people knew that was possible, and why those experiments shaped everything after.
