Today's episode features Brittnay Sharman, creator of The Travelling House Sitters. After hearing about housesitting from a friend Brittnay decided to give it a go while still living in London. She didn’t mind that it was just down the road from her flat, or that it was only for 1 week, she just wanted to test the waters and gain some experience before diving deep into it. It was a success -- she loved it! She had a few months before her visa expired in the UK so she decided to head over to Ireland while she decided what to do next. After discovering that the rental situation was really crazy in Dublin, she decided to house-sit her way around Dublin while working full time. Then in 2019, she house-sat across Thailand, Malaysia, and Turkey all within 3 months! Later that year she'd add on Rome, Montenegro, Greece, Croatia, and more. 2020 was mostly Australia and New Zealand for Brittnay. I think we all know 2020 cut a lot of folks' travel plans but still two awesome locations. You can imagine the thousands of thousands of dollars she saved all while visiting places likely on your bucket list. She did all of this while working and enjoying countries slowly, sometimes for up to a year in the same location! If you enjoyed this episode as much as we did, please share!

Today's episode features Ryan Pineda, a serial entrepreneur who runs six 7-8 figure businesses. For most of Ryan's life, he was sure that he'd be a professional baseball player. And for a while, Ryan was right. But after years in AAA and professional baseball, Ryan finally gave up on that dream. Along the way, he had unknowingly been building skills to create his dream life. His first business was flipping couches -- to the tune of $8k+ per month. All that time in different parts of the neighborhood gave him a great feel for the local real estate economy. Before you know it, Ryan was flipping houses and refining his systems. Today, those systems allow him to scale and make millions annually from multiple businesses.

Today's episode features Riggs Eckelberry, the CEO of Origin Clear. Riggs grew up the son of an international businessman. He also had a natural draw towards making the world a better place and joined a Non-profit right out of high school. Then in the early 80s, he followed his passion for technology and started his very own tech company in New York. Riggs eventually sold that to one of his sales reps but didn't let that stop his business journey. After some high-level executive positions, he eventually became a CEO in the mid-2000s for what would become a major disruptor in the water industry. This company, which Riggs is still the CEO of today, is called Origin Clear. Today, there is a growing need for water independence as central infrastructure fails and populations migrate to secondary cities. Origin Clear answers that call with their Water On Demand initiative which allows everyday investors to invest directly in productive water projects, thereby enabling businesses and communities to pay for only the water they use with no upfront capital required. End-users simply sign a long-term service contract, with regional water companies providing expert support. Innovative OriginClear modular systems are licensed to builders to standardize the fleet, leaving zero “new technology” risk as only proven technologies, systems, and methods are implemented.

Today's episode features Emily Williams from I Heart My Life. Emily was going down a path that so many others do -- following a typical career path and heading to graduate school. She was on her way but never made it. Literally. Emily just turned the car around with no real plan. It took a few years working low-paying jobs but she finally decided to bet on herself. In 2014, Emily started a business even though she was $120k in debt after moving to London. What happened next though was improbable, to say the least. Emily would go from making $442 in her first month of business to over $1 Million within the first 18 months. Now Emily has her own book, runs a successful coaching business on several fronts (master classes, group programs, 1:1 consulting, VIP day trips, etc), and even hosts a podcast.
