• Lifestyle Design 2.0: What it Means in 2025 with Travis Sherry

  Almost two decades after The 4-Hour Workweek was published, what does lifestyle design look like now, and where is it headed next? Travis Sherry is a longtime traveler and entrepreneur who’s spent over a decade building a life centered around freedom, travel, and location independence while helping thousands of others do the same. He’s the founder of the Extra Pack of Peanuts blog and podcast, co-founder of the Location Indie community, and co-creator of Camp Indie, an adult summer camp for digital nomads, entrepreneurs, and adventure-seekers. In this episode, Travis and I explore the concept of lifestyle design and how it’s evolved since the early days of digital nomadism. You’ll hear what lifestyle design really looks like in today’s world of remote work, shifting values, and growing responsibilities, and how our own definitions of freedom have changed over the years as dads, business owners, and travelers. We reflect on what still holds true, what no longer fits, and what it takes to stay aligned with what matters most as you design your own version of your “best” life. How has your definition of freedom or success evolved over the years and what does your ideal lifestyle look like now? I'd love to hear about it, and I hope you’ll share by sending me an audio message. Premium Passport: Get ad-free episodes, exclusive content, and access to all episodes for only $3/month.

Tune In To Learn: Why “lifestyle design” in 2025 is more about values than travel hacks or passive income The surprising things we both no longer prioritize when it comes to freedom and success What we’ve learned about redefining productivity, especially after becoming parents What to consider if you’re feeling burnt out, uninspired, or out of sync with your goals Why slow travel still wins out and how technology is sabotaging our freedom How we both think lifestyle design will evolve in the next 5–10 years and where we see the movement going The trade-offs to consider when designing a non-traditional lifestyle Advice for anyone feeling stuck or questioning their current path And so much more Resources: Join Zero To Travel Premium Passport Sign up for our FREE newsletter Visit Travis’ website, Extra Pack of Peanuts Check out Location Indie Come to Camp Indie Tim Ferriss’ Ideal Lifestyle Costing Want More?

• The Power of Death in Life with Gentle Rebel Bronnie Ware

  What can thinking about death teach us about living life? Bronnie Ware is an author, songwriter, speaker, and free spirit devoted to helping others find the courage to embrace life on their own terms and live without regrets. Her international bestselling memoir, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, has been translated into 32 languages and has a movie in the pipeline. Bronnie spent much of her life traveling nomadically and now has a home base in rural Australia. In this episode, we talk about what those final life lessons can teach us about living more freely, creatively, and intentionally, especially when it comes to crafting a life filled with meaningful travel. This conversation is a reflection on what it really means to live life on your own terms. Bronnie shares how she embraced her creative self later in life, the lessons she’s learned from the dying, and the surprising relationship between death and joy. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, felt stuck in the “wrong box,” or wondered how to start living more authentically, Bronnie offers wisdom that might just change the way you think. We also talk travel, belonging, and why courage is always rewarded, even when the outcome looks different than you expected. What’s one truth you’ve learned through travel that continues to shape how you live today?
