On board today are Jess and Corey, better known online as The Fioneers.
Jess and Corey both spent the majority of their careers working in mission driven non-profit organizations.
But in 2018, Jess experienced really bad burnout, which led to some anxiety and really needing to take a step back. So Jess had a six month career break to really focus on her mental health, returning the following year to part-time work. This gave her time to rest, reset, focus, and plan.
When researching and planning out her future career and finances, she discovered that they'd actually already reached coast FI, so decided to only continue working part-time and enjoy creative and relaxing hobbies on her time off, such as blogging.
In 2020, Jess launched her own business, Design A Life You'd Love, which went really well, and only a year later, she was able to leave her job to work full time on the business. Now, after purchasing and building out a camper van last year, Jess and Corey now travel the USA, living a location independent lifestyle.
It was a really interesting, 3 way chat today, learning about their attitudes towards FIRE and about designing a life you don't need to retire from.
