This episode is inspired by the last four years of travelling every summer with my family. You should take your family travelling for a month every year. This episode tells you why and how. It's a repost of episode 54 last summer. I'll be reacting to this in an episode coming up soon.

What if the whole concept of retirement is built on a lie? In this episode, I share why I walked away from a stable teaching career and why I'll never "retire" - even though I'm earning less money and have less predictable income than ever before.

Most people spend decades grinding through work they don't love, telling themselves they'll find freedom and fulfillment after they retire. But what if you could have both now? I explore how the desire to retire actually reveals that your current life isn't aligned with your values, and why the real question isn't "when can I retire?" but "how can I design a life I never want to retire from?"

When I left teaching to pursue entrepreneurship, I learnt a bunch of stuff. I break down how this shift affected all five areas of health - financial, physical, mental, relational, and spiritual. You'll discover why trading security for purpose led to a deeper relationship with God, and practical steps to start living with more freedom today.

If you've ever felt trapped by the "work now, live later" mentality, this episode will challenge you to rethink what true financial independence really means and how to start building it now.

Your kids have some amazing insights. I had the privilege 5 years ago of interviewing my 5 year old for the podcast. Now I have a different 5 year old and the original 5 year old is now almost 10. 

The best wisdom bomb comes right at the end. 

Listen out for it.

Retire Often puts words to a concept I've been philosophising about for years. Why wait until you're 65 (or 72) to do all the cool stuff you wanted to do when you were still working? Why not retire often and hike the Camino, renovate a rental property, bikepack accross Europe, all whilst you're still young and fit enough to enjoy it. You never know how much time you have left on the Earth so life Life to the Full.

Today on the podcast, I talk to Jillian Johnsrud, a mini retirement expert who became financially independent at 32 and has been coaching and mentoring people to make a lifestyle choice to retire often for the last decade.

We all want to design a life that we don't want to retire from. We want freedom to do the things that we want with the people we want. 

That can only happen if you have these two things. Financial Slack and Time Slack.

You’d never say you support slavery. Of course not. That would be ludicrous.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth: many of us are living like slaves.

Slaves to money.
Slaves to status.
Slaves to self.

Which one are you a slave to?

A crazy idea occurred to me the other day (year) when I was listening to Joshua Sheats on the Radical Personal Finance podcast, one of my favourite podcasts, why don't I share this so that more people can hear it!
This is the next chapter of the audiobook I'm working on at the moment. It's The Richest Man in Babylon.
It's a parable set in ancient Babylon which has immense profound wisdom that is still applicable today about building streams of income and looking after our finances. 

Go back to episode 24 for the first chapter. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1389190/episodes/12821941

What if the shops shut tomorrow? What if your power went out for days? What if your money stopped working the way it’s supposed to?

In this episode of Life to the Full, we explore prepping for non-preppers—a calm, thoughtful introduction to physical preparedness for everyday people. No bunkers. No panic. Just simple, practical steps to help you and your family feel more secure in uncertain times.

We look at real-world examples of economic collapse and hyperinflation (think Weimar Germany, Argentina, Zimbabwe), and reflect on what really matters when systems fail: food, water, shelter, energy, and community. I share some personal experiments and stories, and unpack why being prepared isn’t about fear—it’s about peace.

Whether you’re curious about how to start storing food, filtering water, or just want to feel more ready for job loss, power cuts, or the unexpected—this episode will give you a helpful starting point.

Topics include:

• What history teaches us about hyperinflation and resilience
• Why farmers thrived during economic collapse
• How to start prepping without being extreme
• Practical ideas for food, water, and power preparedness
• Why mental, relational, and spiritual resilience matter too

Start small. Think clearly. Live with peace.

Our country is a national-scale dumpster fire, and we’re just watching it go up in flames.

That’s what the mainstream media and social media will have you believe.

The NHS is falling apart. It’s no longer fit for purpose. Good teachers are leaving the education system faster than the government can lure in unsuspecting young people to replace them. 
 The cost of living crisis has stopped being called that because we’ve all tired of hearing about it. It’s not a crisis any more, it’s just called normal life. We’ve just accepted that things are going to get more and more expensive forever, and we’re going to continue to see wages decline in real terms. Houses are never going to be affordable ever again for our young people. Taxes are getting higher than ever before and they can only go up. Inflation is stealing our purchasing power. 
 People are working 2 or 3 jobs just to survive. Treading water financially is all we can hope to do and even that takes effort. Without knowing what you’re doing, you’ll just get further and further behind. 

Is there any hope for any of us who aren’t the super-rich?

Is the UK really that bad? Is the US any better? Is there any hope for us who aren't millionaires and aren't leaving? 

So many people are leaving the UK for a better lifestyle. Why am I not and what can we actually do about things? All this and more in today’s instalment of the LTTF podcast.
