Vagabonding

And one man stands out among the rest as the quintessential vagabonder, Rolf Potts, who's traveled the world several times over, carrying virtually nothing with him, and gathered some of the most incredible experiences my species can, which he's described in pretty much every prestigious travel publication you can imagine.

As a young dirtbag backpacker, he literally wrote the book on vagabonding called Vagabonding, while vagabonding.

Vagabonding by Rolf Potts.

The great writer Rolf Potts.

I wrote this book, you guys remember him from all my episodes on Skeptic Tank.

Rolf is the author of the international bestseller, Vagabonding.

That was one of the two books I traveled with in the years preceding the writing of The 4-Hour Workweek.

Now he's 25 years older, and while he still travels, he's got a different perspective, which he's poured into the book called The Vagabond's Way, which I would probably characterize as the distilled wisdom of a life spent vagabonding.

There's a real trend right now for people to, it's book

binding, but to recover books.

So get

whatever your favorite, you go to the bookstore, you buy your favorite book and they rip the covers off and they create hardcover versions.

So these are the most beautiful, like ornate things you've ever seen.

And they'll go through their whole bookshelf and start recovering,

rebinding all of their books.

And it's so artistic and beautiful and creative.

Absolutely.

In Vagabonding then, I think you'll admit that's your most famous book and then later on into The Vagabond's Way, you champion slow, deliberate travel, slowing down, sort of taking things as they come.

Why does that attitude, why does slowing down make a difference?

I think it just allows you to... encounter surprise and serendipity.

Um, if you're a business owner, Traction by Gino Wickman teaches you how to set up an entrepreneur operating system to make sure that your business is on the right path to growth.

Um, and if you're somebody that feels a little bit lost or maybe you're a business owner that is super successful but kind of feels like they're trapped by their, their job, I recommend Vagabonding: The Forgotten Art of Long-Term World Travel by Rolf Potts.

Amazing.

Question number three, what are you most curious about right now?

Thanks for having me.

Got a big deal going on with a new book dropping.

Name of the book is young money.

That's right.

It's interesting title because when I was young, I had no money, but is it really about what to do with money when you're young or what's.

I've got like, you know, the, the, The subtitle is a field guide to wealth and purpose in your twenties.

I wouldn't call it a typical personal finance book.

It's also not a, it's not a rap label little way.
