What kind of business should you build when you want to be free from any one location?


In this first episode of our 12-part series on starting a location-independent business, host Michelle Himden sits down with serial entrepreneur Robert K. to explore what it really takes to launch a business that aligns with your skills, passions, and lifestyle goals.


πŸ’‘ In this episode:


- Why freelancing and remote jobs aren't the same as building a business


- How to identify your core strengths (and turn them into income).

- Real stories of starting from scratch β€” including food stamps, couches, and betting on yourself.

- Should you have a co-founder? Robert’s blunt take.

- How your mindset (and second thought) will make or break your journey.

- Why your network is your net worth β€” and how to use it.


This conversation is real, raw, and full of actionable advice β€” with zero fluff and plenty of truth.


πŸ‘‰ If you’ve been wondering where to start, this is your launchpad.
