We recently took a trip with fellow boaters, anchoring at Denny's Beach on Lake Izabal in Guatemala. In true digital nomad style, we all worked aboard our sailboats during the day and took a quick swim when it got too hot. In the evenings, we gathered at the beach for dinner, drinks, and conversation. This week, we're talking about visa runs, using AI without overwhelm, and how to leverage ChatGPT to review and summarize articles. If someone forwarded this email to you, you can subscribe...

We were burned out, but we kept pushing. Until we finally said: Enough. We sold everything. Left it all...

Hey, Friend This week, I'm talking about not waiting around for "someday" and downsizing for travel without getting overwhelmed. If you want an adventure, go get one. Years ago, while driving a back road somewhere in Colorado, we passed a ranch with a simple metal arch that read: SOMEDAY. I remember tearing up. Not because it was grand, but because it was honest.
