Live from Richmond, VA - Design Your Extraordinary Life!

Brad Barrett, Alan Donegan, and Katie Donegan on fear, family, and building a life you don't need to escape from.

What does an extraordinary life actually look like once you achieve financial independence?

In this special live episode from Richmond, Virginia, Brad Barrett sits down with Alan Donegan and Katie Donegan in front of a live audience to explore what happens after you start designing your life intentionally.
