Episode 085 - Don’t be rich

We live in a time where out of control government spending and tax policy reminds me of growing up in business in the 1980s in Australia – when taxes were mega high, interest rates over 20% for a home mortgage and we learned to build a quality life while being poor. Today is much the same, yet we are not seeing things for what they are and we all fall victim to that mistake. In this episode I will explain the social & financial climate we live in, the massive risks and how you can get out of the blast zone of high inflation, high taxation and be unconstrained.

We all go through transitions during our lives. Whether it is going to college for the first time (either as a student or as the parents of the student), moving out of the house into our first place, moving due to a job, a job loss, marriage, divorce, economic hardship or economic wins, leaving employment, self-employment, retirement, financially free…. It is all about transitions. In this episode I want to talk about how to cope through transitions and what often are the side effects and underlying issues at stake.

Episode 080 - You can’t afford to have a job

When Forbes magazine state that 78% of United States workers are living ‘Pay check to pay check’, it should be a wake up call to all of us. What we are doing with our lives and our finances isn’t working. Yet the vast majority blindly go back to the regular 9-5, celebrating that they have employment. On today’s show I’m going to show you just how much money you are probably losing having a job, and maybe it should be a time to rethink what we consider a normal path to success in the 21st century.

Episode 079 - Trapped in the system

After spending a career building computer systems in software for organizations all over the globe, and being one of the very early career ‘Systems Analysts’, I know a thing or two about systems. But what the world has turned into today is a far cry from the mission of the systems I built back in the early days. In this episode I want to explore when systems, automation, AI, robotics, etc. goes horribly wrong, and how it can hurt rather than helps humanity and what you can do to be unconstrained by them.

Episode 078 - No more “middle class” for you

Words matter. I hear that a lot. But few people realize that removing words from our conversations matter as well. And one term that I think has run its course is ‘middle class’. In this episode I want to explore what the middle class is, its hey day, its demise and why it is an impediment to anyone looking to live an unconstrained lifestyle. But also what you should be focusing on to thrive in the future.

Myles Wakeham interviewed on Jaded 80s Baby Podcast

In late 2020, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Derek Phifer, located in Spain, and having a talk about life, the universe & everything. Derek's story about moving from the USA to Spain to find opportunities is great, and the perfect compliment to my own tales of traversing the globe in search of opportunities.

Episode 077 - Free at 27 - An interview with Rachel Richards

This is an inspirational episode. I recently had the opportunity to sit down and interview Rachel Richards. At the age of 27, she became financially free after leaving a short lived career in the financial services industry. Her methodology focuses on cashflow generation and smart income, rather than saving millions and investing. She would have told her clients in the financial advisory industry she was in this, but she was not allowed to. So she left, did it herself and now is a best selling author on her story. If you ever thought you were too young or too old to find financial freedom, Rachel's story will prove you wrong.
