Optimal Living Daily - Personal Development and Self-Improvement

Colin Wright, a professional author and international speaker, co-founded a publishing company, and travels full-time, moving to a new country every four months or so--that country determined by the votes of his readers! He also blogs. Colin's a minimalist in that he owns very few things and is careful in how he consumes. He tends to buy less, but invest in quality when he does, and trends toward the same in relationships, business endeavors, and just about everything else. He's left-handed, blue-eyed, scary good at Tetris, and can’t cook. Episode 410: I'm a Man of Many Experiments by Colin Wright of Exile Lifestyle (Pushing Out of the Comfort Zone).
