What would make you walk away from a stable career? For Jaryd Krause, it was the realization that the life he had built as a plumber wasn’t the one he wanted.
So, he left it all behind. No business experience. No roadmap. Just a desire to create financial freedom. Today, Jaryd runs one of the world’s largest communities for buying and growing online businesses, helping others escape the 9-to-5 grind.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The moment he knew he had to leave his plumbing career behind
- How he bought his first online business and avoided scams
- The biggest misconceptions about passive income and digital assets
- How he built a business without burning out (after learning the hard way)
- How podcasting and content marketing helped him scale
- Why he prioritizes surfing over work and what that says about success
- The struggles most entrepreneurs don’t talk about
- His advice for growing a podcast and making it profitable
- His future plans, from helping athletes and artists to scaling his impact
This isn’t just a conversation about business—it’s about designing a life that works for you.
