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!
