Live from Bali: Are They Really Retired? (Part 2) | Jackie & Doc G | 178

Recorded live in Bali, at the FI Freedom Retreat (the 2nd one in 2025), Jackie teams up with Doc G from the Earn & Invest Podcast. They ask the spiciest FI question of all—not 'can I retire yet?' but 'should I?' Three very different journeys take the mic: Fara's 'accidental FIRE' at 47 and her boomerang back to a cause-driven job (then boomerang away again) Gene's post-quit LinkedIn relapse and the search for purpose without a W-2 Rachel Richard's pivot from real estate and a viral brand (Money Honey Rachel) to doing the inner work, ditching external validation, and—surprise—catching the spark to write again. Stay for the after-show hot seat where more attendees share their own takes on whether they'll ever 'work' again. Hear from Scott, Dave, Sophie, Selene, Justin, Kim, and Amy.   ===DEALS & DISCOUNTS FROM OUR TRUSTED PARTNERS=== 🆕NEW PARTNER: Alloy TheAlloyMarket.com offers a seamless and efficient way to sell your gold, silver, and platinum jewelry, regardless of its condition.
