EP 28

Working Hard to Not Have a Job

with Charles Moore

Matt Story | 11/1/2020

Charles Moore, Principal at Thrive Street Advisors, recognized through personal experiences that waiting for some payoff many years down the line was not the way he wanted to live his life as nothing about tomorrow is promised. This led him to focus on not having a job but instead to control his time and use it as an investment in the areas he felt most passionate. His story is a great example of betting on yourself and he also shares his perspective on sharing the privileges that he has collected over time.
