117 | Making The Case For Part Time With Bradley Rice

Bradley Rice walked away from a high-paying job the moment his daughter was born—and then doubled his income while working half the hours. That pivot hinged on one skill he didn't realize was a golden ticket: Salesforce expertise. Rice shares exactly how he negotiated a part-time role that gave him back his mornings and weekends, then built a consulting practice on the side, all while most of his peers stayed locked in the full-time grind. His path challenges the assumption that time with family and serious earnings are mutually exclusive. Key Topics Introduction to Financial Independence [00:01:21] Overview of the concept of financial independence and its significance. Bradley's Career Shift [00:02:55] The pivotal moment of becoming a parent and re-evaluating work-life balance.

[00:52:35] "The easiest way to gain more time is by reducing your work hours." Resources Salesforce Trailhead - Free online training and certification.
