Are you chasing success the wrong way? In this episode of Escape 9 to 5, Nat Eliason, the author of Crypto Confidential, joins us to discuss why breaking free from the “golden handcuffs” of conventional career paths is essential for finding true fulfillment.
Nat, who left behind a financially secure path, "hacked" college system, built a successful SEO agency, and navigated the highs and lows of the crypto world, shares the valuable lessons he learned about purpose, success, and what really matters. Tune in to learn why real success might take 1,000 days and why financial stability isn’t the end goal—it’s the freedom to live life on your own terms.
