In this episode of the podcast, we have the pleasure of hearing from Derek and Sophie Clifford, a couple dedicated to helping others achieve financial and holistic wellness.

Derek is a seasoned real estate investor, author, and podcast host, while Dr. Sophie is a dedicated integrative medicine doctor with a virtual telehealth practice. Together, they are digital nomads, traveling and have lived in 12 countries in the last 2 years.

The interview covers the foundations of the 3 Degrees of Freedom, exploring how this dynamic duo has transitioned their practice and business from traditional brick-and-mortar to a fully remote model, allowing them to make a profit while traveling. They discuss how they prioritize self-care while traveling, and how Derek’s specialty in burnout prevention can help others, including our listeners, to keep it at bay.

Finally, they explain why pursuing the 3 Degrees of Freedom is fruitless without healthy and strong family relationships.

Tune in to hear the Cliffords’ inspiring story and get the best advice for achieving financial and holistic wellness.
