123 | Mid-Life Retirement with Brent Dusek

123 | Mid-Life Retirement with Brent Dusek

When this drops we will be in the arctic circle exploring a part of Alaska you can't drive. If weather cooperates we'll be visiting 2 more National Parks. This week also marks 6 months of travel on our family gap year. I brought my husband back on the show to talk through how we got here. He referred to this as a mid-life retirement and I loved that analogy. Much of our family gap year is an experiment in doing life differently. He shares more about his travel back story, how the gap year came about, how we are funding it and what he is learning through the process. If you want to know even more, I suggest picking up a copy of my book, Beyond Normal (linked in the show notes).

Our guest today rarely sits still, enjoys strong coffee and can fix just about anything. He wasn't born wanderlust or with the same amount of spontaneity as his wife, but together they have crafted an adventurous life with three kids. Brent Dusek is Mr. Ordinary Sherpa who takes more black diamond trails, my co-pilot, and most often seen in the driver seat of our RV while traversing North America.
