My guest today is a author named Matthew Bracken. Matthew is a sailor, writer, and former Navy Seal. He's the author of four novels (all of which I've thoroughly enjoyed.) Most importantly for our purposes, he is an expert on the topic of achieving a lifestyle of freedom through sailing. He wrote an excellent essay called "Get Yourself a 30-Footer and Go!" which advocates a quick entry into the sailing world as a way to build economic opportunity for yourself. During the course of the interview, we cover three primary topics: How to go about getting started in sailing and how quickly it's possible to achieve a lifestyle of freedom. Matt's experience establishing himself as an independent, self-published novelist in the semi-dystopian genre. The potential impact of societal changes and how to prepare for them. Enjoy the show!
