Episode Details

Could you walk away from a business that was still making money?

Doug Cunnington joins us again to share what happened when he started doing about 20% less work each year—and eventually retired.

Six years after our first conversation about affiliate websites, we’re catching up on his portfolio, his spending, and what life actually looks like on the other side of FI.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Doug quiet quit his own business
• Why he shut down his online courses and income streams
• His investment portfolio and why he keeps it simple
• Learning to spend on what you value
• When good enough is good enough (and optimizing costs too much time)
• Why idleness can be a good thing
• Making room for fitness, hobbies, and experimenting
• The role luck played in his financial independence journey
• Finding an identity beyond your job

And much more.
