You know when you go outside on a pleasant day and there’s that perfect breeze in combination with just the right amount of warmth from the sun on your face? That’s pretty much the same feeling you’ll get from hanging out with my guest today. Delightful, effervescent, fun, and cool (yes, cool) are all words I would use to describe her. Her name is Marianne Cantwell and her book is called Be a Free Range Human: Escape the 9-5, Create a Life You Love, and Still Pay the Bills. Marianne’s book is about much more than quitting your job and becoming your own boss. It’s about life on your own terms, working when, where; and how you want – so you don’t have to fit yourself into someone else’s box to make a great income. Be a Free Range Human won’t just inspire you, it will give you unconventional and practical steps you need to discover what you really want to do with your life.
