Tim Ferriss’s book, The 4-Hour Workweek had a radical influence on me. So much so, that in 2012, I moved to Thailand to realize that dream for myself. Location independence, freedom, and being in control of one's life are all worthy ideals, but there are also unseen downsides and pitfalls of the 4-hour workweek lifestyle that are important to be aware of. I do not regret the experience, but I learned a few hard lessons that I will share with you in this episode.
Hi, I’m Jeremy Sherk - entrepreneur, speaker, world traveler, and health nut. In 2012, I was living the 4-hour workweek dream, eating coconuts and mangos while running a lucrative internet business on the beach in Thailand. But to my surprise, the dream turned into a nightmare. Early retirement on the beach was cool and all, but it got boring fast as I found myself lonely, depressed, and unfulfilled. To add insult to injury, I racked up $100K in debt due to some bad business decisions and an unsustainable lifestyle.
Today, I run Nested Naturals, a wellness company on a mission to empower people through nature to rise to their highest potential. On this podcast, I document my entrepreneurial journey and share hard-earned wisdom on success mindset, entrepreneurship, and rising to your highest potential in life.
