#651 Is your paycheck secretly keeping you from living the life you want? In this powerful first episode of a three-part series hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, Jeff Farrer shares his incredible journey from a successful academic career to becoming an entrepreneur. Jeff opens up about the moment he realized his high-paying job was draining his creative energy and preventing him from living the life he truly wanted. He explains how he and his wife took a leap of faith, navigated the challenges of financial insecurity, and ultimately built a path toward true financial freedom. If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to pursue your dream or if you should stick it out in a "safe" career, Jeff’s story will inspire you to rethink your approach to money, work, and life. Tune in to discover how financial independence starts long before you hit millionaire status — and how to reclaim your creative energy along the way!
