From Riches to Rags: Leaving an Unfulfilling Career to Live a Nomadic Lifestyle With Josiah Wolfson


Listen Later

Welcome to the 30th episode of the Back to Human Podcast.
On the show with me today I had the pleasure of speaking with Josiah Wolfson. Josiah made the adventurous decision to give up his successful career as a lawyer to live life on the road in his sprinter van, Paz, with his wife Laura.
Some of the topics we discuss on this episode include:
• Josiah's upbringing and what inspired him to give up traditional comforts to live a nomadic lifestyle
• Reintegrating back into western civilization after living in South America
• When Josiah decided to retire as a lawyer and what that transition looked like
• What influenced Josiah to become a lawyer in the first place?
• How money can't buy happiness and often times we neglect what is truly important by pursuing a life of materialism
• Do you need to leave your country to disconnect from the matrix?
• How the matrix is a mental construct
• Is pressure healthy? What kind of pressure do we need to grow?
• What does success look like for Josiah now?
• The struggles that come with living a nomadic lifestyle
• What expenses come with being a nomad?
• What it's like to connect with others once you've unplugged yourself from the system
• Josiah's experience with Gratitude Training
• Did Josiah ever think about returning to "normal life"?
• How to travel cheaply by volunteering
• Sources of income to support your nomadic lifestyle
• How we miss out on real experiences by being distracted and staying busy
• How Josiah and Laura built their home from cob
