About this episode

What if the secret to creative freedom isn't making more money but wanting less? Paul Millerd has mastered the art of living well on very little — spending $2,000 a month in Austin, driving a used cars, and now raising his toddler in Thailand. Paul and Khe discuss making creative trade-offs, the toxicity of social media, parenting outside of traditional norms and changing your relationship with money. [Episode 105]
