The Dirt Path

From using LinkedIn in high school to get jobs, to building a brand that attracts opportunities, and becoming THE LinkedIn thought leader around spirituality and authentic personal branding on LinkedIn, this episode highlights the true power of an authentic personal brand on LinkedIn while living your life to the fullest as a digital nomad.

Today's trailblazer is Paige Goldstein, who has made a name for herself around spirituality and authentic personal branding on LinkedIn. Paige started posting on LinkedIn way back in high school, used it to get every job she ever had, became the top producer at her sales tech job from using LinkedIn, and has now created The Ripple Effect, where she helps soul-led leaders build a magnetic LinkedIn presence that attracts their dream opportunities. At the same time, we also discuss Paige's journey as a digital nomad, and her shift into entrepreneurship.

Oh, and Paige is also my girlfriend, so you can hear a bit on how we met as well.... and it might just have to do with the title of the video;)

From sailing the Atlantic with nothing to building a thriving life and charter business in Maine, the inaugural episode of The Dirt Path Podcast is jam-packed with motivation, raw honesty, and lessons on finding love and purpose at any stage of life.

Today's trailblazer is Ed Hamilton, an entrepreneur who began his "dirt path" journey in his early 20s when he chose to sail the Atlantic to the Caribbean on 48 hours' notice, completely changing the course of his life. Ed eventually found his way in the beautiful island of Tortola before eventually meeting his now wife, Barb. Together, they moved to Maine to build a successful charter company after an initial 12 challenging years, before finally making it big and achieving the dream of selling it and retiring. Ed and Barb now enjoy their fulfilled, retired life in the mid-coast of Maine.

Who Should Listen (Key Takeaways)

This is an essential episode for the "dirt path curious" seeking the courage to take the leap into a big life change. Ed's story is a masterclass in:

- The Power of Belief: How perseverance and self-belief can turn a snap decision into a successful career.

- MASTERCLASS in Couplepreneurship: The raw truth about running a thriving business alongside your spouse (and making it work!)

- Life After the Sale: Finding continued passion and purpose in retirement after achieving a major life goal.

Whether you're in business, managing a relationship, or trying to find your purpose, Ed's lessons are truly great for everyone.
