134. Do You Need $10K/Mo to be "Free"? An Interview with Stephen Heiner

134. Do You Need $10K/Mo to be "Free"? An Interview with Stephen Heiner

Author: Neel Parekh February 15, 2024 Duration: 27:19

In this episode Neel sits down for the second time with Stephen Heiner, who previously appeared on episode 108, when he had just newly moved into a Catholic seminary after having been location independent for a decade. This was Neel's "6 month checkup" on Stephen.

Neel and Stephen discuss:

- Stephen's frame for freedom, i.e. discipline = freedom, and how stability has given him productivity, but also another way to do what it is he wants to do

- how much the Four Hour Work Week influenced Stephen's trajectory since he first read it in 2008, and why it's still the number one book he recommends to this day

- the relative recent appearance of "retirement" as a concept and how if you're doing what you love and you know why you are doing it, retirement will not be something that preoccupies you

If you enjoyed hearing Stephen's views, you might enjoy his YouTube channel, where he does book reviews.
