GO HUNT LIFE

Digital Nomad Amy Scott figured out 14 years ago that her normal 9-to-5 job and normal life wasn’t for her. She was an Editor in San Francisco for a travel guide publishing company commuting into the city and squeezing out her own travel experiences around her vacation time. That wasn’t good enough for her so she started the process of planning her escape but it took her longer than expected to save up what she needed. 2 ½ years actually of planning, saving and most importantly keeping her dream secret from her employer until she was ready launch. The day finally came, she left her job and started traveling but her nest-egg that she felt was enough to get her going was just $12,000.

Pat Schulte, his wife Ali and 2 kids are officially the Bumfuzzle family adventuring the world for the last 15 years by land and by sea. They pulled the ripcord on their normal life 15 years ago. Back then, Pat was a stocks and commodities trader in Chicago working the trading pits and living the normal urban life in downtown Chicago but things started to change. Their friends started to move in the direction of buying a house in the suburbs and having kids but they weren't ready for that. So instead this Midwest couple came up with the idea to buy a sail boat and sail around the world. The problem was that neither one of them had ever step foot on a sail boat.

Caleb James was a TV news reporter in Albuquerque NM chasing down stories in front of the camera, had a very public career and it was the job that he had always dreamed of. But the reality of the job was that the stories he found himself exploring were really just him chasing down bad people demanding that they tell him why they were so bad. One day it occurred to him reliant on horrible things happening in his community for his own job security. So he decided to chase the good stories as a Documentary Film Maker but to do that everything in his life had to change. He had to quit his job, leave what was safe and the life that he had built behind and embark on a completely different path. He is now pulling an airstream trailer across the US in search of the good stories under his brand, The Greatest of US.

Todd and Allison Nevins with their bulldog Deuce left Texas to hunt down their ultimate laptop lifestyle of working from the road driving through Mexico. These Digital Nomads have everything they own in their SUV and 30 minutes after driving across the border they make a rookie mistake. After negotiating their way through the border town of Nueva Laredo, they continue on their quest to live in a new city every 6 weeks. So far they've hit San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato and Mexico City. "Everyday, living in Guanajuato felt like we were living in a movie." In this episode we discuss the most commonly asked questions... Are you looking for a place to settle? Is it really safe to drive through Mexico? How do people in Mexico treat you now that Trump is President? What is the healthcare like in Mexico? What is the co-working scene like? How do you make money living a laptop lifestyle? Do you need to speak Spanish?

3 years ago Robert Field was doing everything that society had told him would bring him happiness. He had earned a masters degree that enabled him to get a great job in finance making plenty of money and everything on paper was just fine when all of the sudden he had a really tragic 4 days. He was fired from the fishing rod startup where he was working in finance, he ended a serious relationship with his girlfriend which left him with nowhere to live and his uncle walked to a city park and committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Everything in his life, his beliefs around happiness and his direction changed in those 4 days but he was left with the question, “What do I do now?” These experiences catapulted him into following his passion with a vengeance and that passion is kayak fishing and making YouTube videos about his adventures. His pursuit of following his dream and being a YouTube Star along the way had begun.

10 years ago Cissy Jones was living the Silicon Valley startup life of 100 hour work weeks, sleeping at the office and was smothered by the ‘what have you done for me lately’ mentality of that world when one day her aunt asked her, what would be your dream job. Her answer, "I want to be a voice on the Simpsons."

Heath Padgett convinced his fiancé Alyssa to quit their jobs after their wedding, buy an RV and set out on the road for an extended 1 year honeymoon to live the RV life. His idea was to travel to all 50 States in their first year of marriage and along the way, find and work an hourly job in each state. Heath's goal wasn’t to document the plight of hourly workers but to explore how people find meaning in their work. "It really set the stage for us to live a whole year in a constant state of discomfort." - Heath Padgett on working an hourly job in all 50 states in 1 year. Alyssa, without any videography experience grabbed a camera and began filming their adventures and it blew up and turned into the documentary, Hourly America. They were featured on CNN, Forbes, CBS and all of the others. But what they also discovered was that executing on their idea was more difficult than they anticipated and half way through their mission, they almost quit. We talk about what happened and what drove them to continue.

A few years ago, Anna and Derek Morris had everything that they ever wanted in Houston TX. Derek had a corporate job in the oil and gas industry and Anna was self-employed building a startup. They had a perfect house with a pool, a big yard and a mortgage so on paper they had the perfect, normal life. But their ripcord decision began to build and it peaked when they realized that their fear of doing nothing was greater than their fear of potentially screwing up their lives by quitting everything safe to travel the world. They made the daunting decision to live their motto, We Play Everywhere, and launched out into the unknown and chaotic world of constant travel. Their story includes.... The safe lives that they built in Houston. When they reached the point of their fear of doing nothing became greater than their fear of screwing up their lives. The process of getting rid of their stuff. What it was really like to travel and hit 30 countries with nothing but backpacks and carry-ons. What it was like coming back to the States after being gone for so long. Why they decided to road trip with their dog into Mexico. Their big house in Houston is now a distant memory after traveling through 30 countries and we catch up to them from a small little beach town in Mexico where they are regrouping on their next adventure which involves building a startup to solve their own travel problems that they encountered along the way. Thanks to Nifty Gosney for introducing me to Derek and Anna.

Their interview took place in the middle of Morocco from their RV.

Will and Jessica Sueiro left their 9-to-5 jobs in Boston behind, pulled their kids from school and set out on an adventure wandering the world but the first 6 months of their new lives turned into a living hell. Their first stop was Costa Rica and what they quickly learned is that there was no amount of planning that could have prepared them for the transition from normal life in the States to their new lives full of unstructured chaos wandering the world. They kept pursuing their dream and didn't let the minor setbacks force them to go back on their decision to live a bolder and fuller life. Fast-Forward a few years and they've just relived that first 6 months of chaos and frustration after their kids convinced them to buy an RV and for them to wander across Morocco. "We do not learn from our mistakes but that has made all the difference in our journey." Jessica Sueiro In this episode the Sueiro's share... Pulling the kids from school without ever home-schooling them before. Telling their friends but deciding to avoid naysayers by telling them that it was just for a year. Battling the first 6 months of chaos in Costa Rica and why it was so difficult. The mistakes that they made in the transition. Balancing their new roles as Jessica's income was now supporting the family. Getting adjusted to home-schooling the kids.

Katie McKenna didn’t pull the ripcord to follow the life that she had always dreamed of living, she had the ripcord yanked on her and it transformed her way of living life. 10 years ago she was working in finance because her Dad and her brother told her it would be a very good job for her. She was living someone else’s expectation.  She planned to work for 5 years, save a bunch of money and finally do what she was really meant to do when one morning she went out on a bike ride and at a stop light she signaled to a semi-truck driver that she was turning right. The driver didn’t see her. The light turned green, Katie started peddling turning right and unfortunately so did the truck. Like the Show? Leave a Review for Go Hunt Life on Apple Podcasts Katie was hit, knocked to the pavement run over by the front 4 wheels of the semi-truck’s trailer right across her midsection. She laid there in shock only to turn and look at the back set of wheels coming straight for her.  All she could do was scream "noooooo" as the 2nd set of wheels rolled over her body. I catch up to Katie over 10 years after that tragic accident and we discuss her life since that October morning and how she is now a motivating force helping people get over trauma. In this episode we discuss... Her career in finance living someone else's expectation. That perfect bike ride on October 2nd. Signaling to the driver of the 18-wheeler The sound of the accident. Feeling the mud flaps slap her body. The surgeon telling her that she probably wouldn't survive the surgery. Waking up, alive and grappling with her way of living life had completely changed forever. Going back to work 6 months after the accident. Her 10 journey of recovery and inspiring others to conquer tragedy. Motivating others that are not living their own authentic life to pursue the life of their dreams. It starts by making one small incremental change at a time which is exactly how she got from laying on that street to training for her 3rd half marathon.

Mikah Meyer is 2 years into a 3 year journey to travel to all of the 417 US National Park Units, and if he completes this in the timeframe that he’s set he will break two world records. He will be the first person to visit all 417 parks in one continuous trip and the youngest to visit them all but this is only half of the story. Mikah is also a Christian and openly gay. His journey of visiting all of the US parks started as a way to honor his late father that loved the outdoors and passed away at 58. Over time, it’s transformed him into being a vocal ambassador for LGBT inclusion in the Outdoor community. [caption id="attachment_3053" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Photo credit The Huffington Post[/caption] But the publicity that he is garnering is coming at a price, literally.  One of his sponsors recently dropped him because they felt like his voice had become too loud and that he was doing too much outreach to the LGBT community. In this episode we discuss... The original 'why' for his trip to honor his father that passed away. Planning the trip and buying his moving home, a decked out van. When his trip transformed into him being a global voice for LGBT inclusion in the outdoor community. One of his sponsors cancelling the sponsorship because he was doing too much for the LGBT community. How he is continuing to pay for the trip to all 417 US National Park Units. How will he end the trip and when he successfully breaks two world records. Shout out to Bill Sycalik, also a National Park fanatic and a previous guest on the podcast.

Ryan Huett is all about pursuing his passion and owning his own time.  His story takes us from a small town in Texas to the mountains of Costa Rica, to him going back to school in his 40s and him taking an unpaid internship in his 40s and him founding and running his own winery, Huett Cellars.  Ryan is also a husband of 23 years and a Dad to 2 boys. I’m always amazed at the guests that I have on the show that are parents and the reason they pulled the ripcord for a different life was because of their kids. They weren’t held back from making a massive life change for fear of messing up the kids lives. They pulled the ripcord to show their kids a bigger, better and bolder life and Ryan’s story is just that. Their decisions never revolved around money but on pursuing a passion and owning their time. In this episode we discuss... Ryan wanting to show his kids a better life. Leaving that small Texas town for good. Building his first real estate business in Costa Rica. Battling through the 2009 recession by going small, moving to the mountains of Costa Rica and living off the grid. His epiphany sitting on a mountain top in Costa Rica that inspired him to go back to school to learn how to make wine. Taking an unpaid internship in his 40s. How he started a wine business without owning any land or grapes. Thank you to Arie and Rebecca Litovsky for telling me about Ryan's story. ---Show Notes--- Huettcellars.com FB @ryan.onwine

Paul Kortman and his family of 6 are digital nomads and living a life on the road RVing through Mexico all while running a digital marketing agency. Paul actually has two ripcord moments and we go deep into both of them. "How can we lower our cost of living dramatically while improving our quality of living?" The first is when he quit "the best job he ever had" to start his own marketing agency. The second is when him and his wife with 4 kids sold everything in Grand Rapids Michigan to go location independent and travel the world while still running the agency. Things didn’t initially go as planned. Within 3 months of them being digital nomads, Paul lost 3 clients that equated to 90% of his revenue and things quickly imploded. We discuss... How they planned to leave Grand Rapids for good and travel the world as digital nomads. When things quickly fell apart just 3 months into their journey. Returning to Grand Rapids to re-group and re-build their digital marketing agency. Buying a 300 square foot RV for the family to continue their nomadic lives. Living and working in Mexico. The digital tools that he relies on to run his business and thrive as a location independent entrepreneur. The ups and downs of living a life on the road with a family of 6. "Yes, I could make more money but I would have to work more and what's the fun in that?" This is a story of a resilient family that refused to give up on their dreams of living and working from anywhere and a motto that they’ve adopted when their traveling lifestyle hits a roadblock is, “if we are going to laugh about it later, why not laugh about it now.” Show Notes HomeAlongtheWay.com PaulKortman.com Connexdigitalmarketing.com The Nomad Together podcast Mentioned: The Tropical MBA, The Family Adventure Podcast Tools that Paul depends on to run his business from anywhere: Slack, Trello, Google Hangouts, Zapier, Skype, Google Voice, T-mobile Sponsors PrintDirtCheap.com – Rockstars in printing with over 30 categories of printing products doing it FAST and doing it CHEAP.

Bob and Fara Grim quit the 9-to-5 grind to Travel the World on a $100 a day budget. To do this they needed to make a plan. Bob was working as a Software Developer and Fara was in the Telecom industry so they used their two incomes to save every penny to prepare for their launch. This conversation is a continuation from one 6 months ago when they emailed into the show detailing their pending ripcord and how the podcast encouraged them to go nomadic. We added a ‘pulling the ripcord’ segment with them at the end of episode #56 and you can check it out here. They carefully planned everything and most importantly how they were going to pay for it. They estimated that they were going to spend $100/day while traveling so they developed a mantra that gave them a gut check every time they were thinking about spending money. That mantra set them up to be temporarily retired in their early 40s and have enough money to travel on while they discover and create their next income streams. We catch up to Bob and Fara in Ireland, 6 months into their travels, to get the lowdown on what they’ve discovered so far and what happened to their $100 a day travel budget.  In this episode we discuss... Their lives as a Software Developer and working in the Telecom industry in Portland, OR. How they saved up enough money to retire in their early 40s. Why they decided to keep their house and rent it out while traveling. How they underestimated how much they were going to spend while traveling. The apps and travel tools that they use to make traveling easier and cheaper. Show Notes Travel the world with Bob and Fara at Candolatitude.com or on Facebook @CanDoLatitude.

Katie Ford is all in but it took her reaching a defining moment in her life where she could no longer wear two uniforms. One uniform was her 20 year career as a Writer, Editor and Reporter for numerous high level magazines and newspapers and the 2nd uniform kept her awake at night. It gnawed at her night and day until she knew that this was to be her life’s mission. How does someone’s life mission turn, just like that? Everything changed for Katie in 2010 when she stepped into a woman’s prison in Lockhart Texas, and she started listening to the stories of these women. Up to this point she had been mentoring children of incarcerated inmates and had built up a lot of blame towards these people. These inmates were the ones that had made the mistakes which meant that they had abandoned their kids in the world outside of prison…right? Katie’s anger and blame melted away one traumatic story at a time. From that moment on, she knew what she wanted to do. It became her life’s mission to help these women break a lifetime of trauma by sharing their stories but Katie didn’t know the how. How she was going to do it. How was she going to pay for it and turn this into her new livelihood and career. She held the panic at bay, took the biggest chance of her life and left that first uniform behind. In this episode we discuss... Listening to these incarcerated women's stories about a lifetime of trauma including physical and sexual abuse. Realizing that these women were 'largely invisible'. Leaving a 20 year career as a Writer, Reporter and Editorial Director with multiple magazines and newspapers. What event led up to her ending her entire livelihood in the summer of 2016. Why not telling anyone gave her the courage to stick with her decision to resign. Holding her initial panic at bay and embracing the freedom, relief and opportunity. Developing the Healing Trauma program that heals through storytelling. Partnering up with American Youth Works to cut through the red tape of starting a nonprofit. Becoming the Executive Director of Truth Be Told. "I realized that one of the uniforms that I was wearing didn't fit anymore so I had to leave it behind."

Joe Hendricks is living the wandering lifestyle living out of an airstream and building his portfolio as a landscape photographer. Him and his wife and five year old son have been traveling the U.S. in an Airstream for the last year and a half.  Prior to this, they had a successful wedding photography business in Nashville a house and all the normal stuff when they went on a vacation visiting the National Parks out west. The switch flipped and hit Joe in his wandering heart.  He wanted to see the joy that he saw in his wife and son during that trip ALL of the time so within six months after returning to Nashville they had bought that Airstream, sold their house and everything in it, and they started their journey literally driving away from the closing on their house sale into their wandering lifestyle. "If you are considering this lifestyle, do it. It will change you forever." But it hasn't gone quite as planned. It's been a lot more difficult making a living as a photographer while on the road. Joe is completely transparent and shares exactly what they've been through, what they've done right what he would have done differently in the last year and a half. We discuss... What his family discovered during their vacation through the U.S. National Parks. What they were leaving behind in Nashville. How Joe still planned on being a wedding photographer back in Nashville. The mistakes that they made in the planning phase of exiting Nashville. How they were planning on paying for their travels. How they ended up in Texas. They are still living out of that Airstream trailer but it's not exactly where he had planned but Joe sticks to his goal of changing their lives forever by jumping in the Airstream to live out their wandering lifestyle.

Colin Wright is an author, podcaster, speaker and full-time traveler that set out to explore the world 4 months at a time but to do this he had to exile himself from his lifestyle in California. For the last 8 years he’s traveled to 60 different countries and all of the lower 48 states and he’s done this in 4 month increments. He truly enjoys the uncomfortable situations that his chosen lifestyle puts him in. Another interesting point to this is that the places that he moves to are chosen by his readers. They vote on his next destination and that’s where he goes to explore the world. But back in 2009 he was running his own branding studio in LA, working a crazy amount of hours and making a ton of cash when he took a hard look at his mentors. His life path was following theirs and realized they were miserable so inside 4 months he completely transformed his world and got on a plane leaving the US for the first time in his life. Where did he go? His readers said Argentina so that’s where he began. In this episode we discuss... Building a branding agency in his early 20s. Massively changing his life and lifestyle in 4 months. Starting his international travel without previously leaving the US. How that 4 month increment of time went on to define his way of living abroad. Allowing his readers to determine where he goes next. Balancing his extremes with his lifestyle of constant motion. Transitioning from client work to writing books for a living. The uncomfortable first 2 weeks in a new city. What he has learned from starting his podcast, Let's Know Things, 1 year ago. How he spends his time now balancing his writing, speaking and podcasting. Why he's chosen to spend time back in the US.

Karen King and her husband and two kids left their traditional lives in Australia 19 months ago and have since hit 23 countries house sitting, airbnbing and World Schooling. In this episode we dig into two specific areas: How have the kids adapted to a new way of learning and how are they paying for their adventures? What are the steps that she’s taken to transition their kids from a traditional school to learning on the road. An interesting point that she brings up is that for every 1 year a child is in a traditional school it will take them 1 month to get acclimated to a new way of learning and that timeframe also applies to the parents. What is World Schooling vs. traditional schooling? That second area that we get into is of course the money. 2-3 years ago they knew very little about making money online but it took a 7 week vacation and for Karen to read the 4 hour work week for the switch to flip and pointed her to an entirely new way to live. "Life on the road has been incredible and I wish I would have known about this 10 years earlier." In this episode we discuss... Health insurance and travel insurance. What are their monthly expenses? Cell service on the road in different countries. What company they use to have a permanent mailing address? What websites they choose to house sit in different countries? How they make money while traveling? How the kids have adapted and changed since traveling? What does "school" now entail for the kids?

Greg Denning and his family of 9 are living deliberately. He is a world traveler, mentor and a father of 7 kids. Him and his wife Rachel left their normal lives in Utah in 2007, packed up the then family of 6 in the car and drove south into Mexico and central America to embark on a journey that has taken them to 30 countries and 5 continents around the world. Their attempt at living deliberately hasn’t been easy and we get in to that too because 2 years after their launch, the housing crisis hit the US forcing them to come back and start over with nothing in bank and they really questioned if their vision of living deliberately around the globe was even possible. What they’ve found is yes, living deliberately is possible but it takes work. Greg is also a teacher. He teaches people how to transform their own lives but it’s not just talk. at one point in our conversation we go tactical on how he helps people in 3 very specific steps on how to change their situation and live a massive, extraordinary life. We dig into everything. How the kids have adjusted as the family has grown from 4 kids when they started to now 7 and what it means when his kids go to World School and the money, we hit that multiple times in our conversation. In this episode we discuss... What lead up to them packing up their car and moving to Mexico in 2007. How the Global Recession impacted them in 2009. Why they moved to the Dominican Republic in 2009 to live on the beach for a few hundred dollars a month. Why they decided to go international. How they initially paid for their travels. How Greg's profession has evolved into him mentoring, teaching and counseling parents and homeschooled children...all online. My conversation with Greg Denning on living life deliberately will eliminate the excuse of, "I have kids, I could never travel like that?"

The stress of the job, the bureaucracy of the government and the physical toll it was all taking on his body forced him to simply walk from his only career that he had ever known to save his own life and go off the grid.
