My good friend Marla Taner joined me on the Financial Independence Podcast to go deep into some early-retirement topics that aren’t often discussed. Marla and I met in 2014 at Camp Mustache and we’ve had a lot of fun (and sometimes heavy) conversations over the years so I thought it’d be great to record one for the podcast! Highlights: <ul> <li>How to deal with a sudden early retirement</li> <li>Rethinking travel after leaving work</li> <li>Finding happiness from within</li> <li>Dealing with losing career identity and external validation</li> <li>How to care less about “success”</li> <li>The effort of happiness</li> <li>Focusing on progress rather than the end goal</li> <li>Doing the work to figure yourself out</li> <li>Justifying the decision to retire early</li> </ul>
