Doug chats with Adam Coelho, host of the Mindful FIRE podcast, about the limitations of FU money and how a big vision can change your life. Adam shares his journey of transitioning from Google to fully embracing entrepreneurship, the importance of having a clear vision, and how mindfulness & meditation have played a pivotal role in his life. He talks about the role of FI in creating options and building a life from a place of sufficiency rather than lack and the power of neuroplasticity & affirmations in realizing one’s dreams.
