Time Freedom vs Financial Independence: What You Need to Know


Listen Later

If you've ever wondered how to create more time in your life without waiting decades to retire, this episode is your perfect starting point.

In this thoughtful conversation, Reni sits down with Brian, author and founder of the Time Freedom movement, who explains how to design a life that prioritizes time first and not just extreme wealth. Brian shares the moment that changed his approach to freedom, the simple Time Freedom Formula he uses to map money + flexible work, and the practical steps he took to take entire summers off within three years. He also walks through real trade-offs, common mistakes people make chasing early retirement, and how flexible income and smarter planning can get you meaningful freedom sooner.

Whether you want to take extended breaks, build a seasonal work schedule, or simply buy more space in your calendar, this episode makes the idea of time freedom practical, realistic, and actionable.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • The difference between financial independence and time freedom

  • Brian’s Time Freedom Formula: how money + flexible work = earlier freedom

  • Practical steps to create flexible income and map a calendar-based lifestyle

  • The trade-offs you’ll face when choosing freedom over extreme wealth and how to decide what matters to you
