>> OUR GUEST THIS EPISODE:
Moon Hurst - agricultural banker turned videographer.
He's someone who's living proof you don't need to follow the rules to live a good life. The best part is he was once just like you and me qualifying as a banker in New Zealand, he landed a corporate job in London, living the high life on a massive salary only to find himself stressed and unhappy at work.
He left that world behind and found his way into videography, something he loved doing, spending half his time surfing and Indonesia and the other half living on the road in an RV in New Zealand.
Moon believes he's happier than all of his mates, who've got stuck in the trip of a stressful job to pay for an expensive house.

>> TAKE HOME CHALLENGE: HONEST BUDGET
If you're serious about escaping the nine to five, you've probably got to change your spending habits. Go through your account for the last few months and figure out what you're spending your money on. Create a budget based on things you NEED and then another budget including the things you WANT. This is going to take a bit of self reflection here. Do you NEED to be living in the most expensive part of town? Do you NEED to have a six dollar coffee every single day? Do you NEED to go out for dinner twice a week? The more honest you can be with yourself, the easier you can cut back your spending and the easier it'll be to transition to another livelihood.
Podcast genre: career change, career transition, work life balance, great resignation.
