I recently flew to sunny San Diego to go \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d and meet Dana Robinson and Nate Broughton, hosts of one of my favorite podcasts, and watch them do a live recording of their show in studio.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the first things I noticed was how chill the guys were. They seemed totally relaxed\u2014no stress, no pressure\u2026 and in today\u2019s world, that stands out.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do they do it?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I suspect by embracing one idea: to opt out.<\/span><\/p>\n

We live in a crazy world. Everyone wants you to \u2018opt in\u2019 to something: email lists, subscriptions, text messaging, rewards plans, social networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Is it time to opt <\/span>out<\/span><\/i>?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To say \u201cno more\u201d to the rat race?<\/span><\/p>\n

To consider creating your own goals around something different than the modern version of the American Dream?<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s the whole idea behind the <\/span>Opt Out Life<\/span><\/i> podcast. Hosts Dana and Nate are subversive millionaires on a mission to build a community of contrarians ready to make a different choice about how they\u2019ll live their lives. Their \u2018opt outers\u2019 choose alternative approaches to business, money, and life.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, they want to help you live the \u201copt-out life\u201d your own way.<\/span><\/p>\n

A lifehacker since he was just a kid, Dana\u2019s mom nicknamed him MacGyver. He started his first business at just 19 years old. From there, he\u2019s started, owned, and co-founded a dozen ventures with one goal in mind: <\/span>\u201cTo do what I want, when I want.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Nate found himself bored in college. Looking to fill his empty wallet, he took a job at a company being run out of a basement and discovered the power of online marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, in 2015, Dana decided it was time for a reset. He sold everything, and bought a one-way ticket to Bali. He wrote a book.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nate read it and loved it\u2026 in fact, it became the start of his mission to turn the \u2018opt out life\u2019 idea into a movement. That movement needed a podcast and blog as mediums to spread the message.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, the friends jumped in with a unique podcast approach: get regular, every day, successful people to sit down and reveal exactly what they\u2019ve done to create the lifestyles they dreamed about.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

This show is not about private jets, VC funding, and fancy degrees\u2026 it\u2019s about taking small steps toward the life you <\/span>really<\/span><\/i> want. Instead of focusing on the degree, home, investments, and less-than-secure American Dream security\u2026 <\/span>Opt Out Life<\/span><\/i> explains the alternatives\u2014like starting a side hustle and growing it. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>It features real stories from real people who\u2019ve made real changes in their lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Listen in and discover how they\u2019ve been able to:<\/span><\/p>\n

* Choose lifestyle over money, while still making great money.<\/span><\/p>\n

* Create unusual success while flying under the radar (no media whores, no fame, no elites).<\/span><\/p>\n

* Build their \u2018opt-out\u2019 life with intentional action (not by \u201cgetting lucky\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

* Work for themselves (no mega companies, no bosses, no job titles, sometimes no jobs at all!).<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s your turn!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This podcast goes beyond the stories. Every guest will surprise and inspire you with practical ideas about how you can live a life of freedom, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their podcast description couldn\u2019t be more accurate:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Opt Out Life<\/span><\/i> truly is the no B.S. guide to living the modern \u2018good life.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
