Two people, 40 years apart, who've both seen something beyond a life based on making money, talking honestly about it.</p><p><br></p><p>Doug has lived a lot of lives: corporate manager, permaculture designer, yacht skipper, ranch hand, wedding caterer. Not because he couldn't commit, but because curiosity kept winning.</p><p><br></p><p>In this conversation, we pull apart the stories most of us inherited about money, safety, and what a life is supposed to look like. And what it quietly costs us to live inside them without ever questioning them.</p><p><br></p><p>We talk about the moment Doug walked away from a corporate career, why making money felt like \"the easy way out\", and what permaculture taught him about how humans were never meant to live. We get into the \"do-have-be\" trap, what ninety-year-olds wish they'd done differently, the myth of retirement, and why reciprocity isn't linear. It's multidimensional.</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Taylor Anna Garrett"}
