#11: Chat on F.I.R.E‪.‬ #12weeks

This episode is mainly about a conversation we've been putting off for two weeks: talking about financial independence, how we define our professional ideals, and what success means to us. 

Some points we discussed on this call:

- There is not one definition of success or a single career path we should all follow

- Some of the restrictions that come in the corporate world are being challenged through the adoption of remote work, as well as the results-only work environment (ROWE)

- How passive income can enable a life of freedom

- We reference Dan Pink's excellent book Drive, which identifies 3 factors necessary for work satisfaction: Mastery, Autonomy, and Purpose.

- The need to continuously reinvent ourselves and how changing jobs or careers is often perceived as a bad trait

Note: We kicked off the episode with talk about traveling with youngsters. If that's not something you're interested in you might want to skip the first 7 minutes or so.

Also, we had a technical error while recording (also known as receiving a phone call). Apologies if the audio is a bit jarring when that happens (towards the end).

Hope you enjoy the episode and have a few takeaways from it!
