Episode 13: The Value of Passive Income with Eve Porcello

Until a few years ago, I had thought of retirement in traditional terms. My plan was to dedicate four decades to my career and to creating wealth so that I can enjoy the last few years of my life in retirement - pursuing hobbies, traveling etc.  But over time, it has become clear to me that I don’t want to wait another two decades to enjoy the fruits of my labor.  I want the freedom to live where I want, travel when I want and spend my time the way I want to. And, I want to start living this life in the next five years. The key to this door might be passive income.  

Given this goal, I found Eve’s story to be especially inspiring.  Eve started creating content  to support her main business, but eventually it became a source of passive income for her.  This passive income gave her the freedom to deal with a personal loss without having to worry about money.  In this episode, Eve talks about her story of how she got started, and shares tips on how we can too.
