Darrah Brustein designed her life for more travel. She built the location-independent, time-independent lifestyle we all want. She's a serial entrepreneur and lifestyle design expert. She spends half the year traveling, all while running several successful businesses. Darrah has valuable insight for anyone looking to live a more intentional and value-filled life.

After burnout and layoffs, she started to created little experiments to validate a little inkling that she could create the life and lifestyle she truly wanted--without sacrificing her values. By setting up a residual income stream, she can travel half the year, write for Forbes, or grow whichever business she'd like.

I wanted to get her on the show because in this set up, she gets to choose how and where she spends her time. We all believe that lifestyle design is the ultimate definition of success. There's a ton of actionable tips we can immediately take from the episode and conversation. We talk through her series of tests and how she set herself up for her ideal lifestyle---and how you can too!
