Work from anywhere, live anywhere, travel freely. Digital nomad, location independent, or freed from the tyranny of geography. Whatever you call it, it’s definitely a fantastic asset for your lifestyle. Now that more people are experiencing remote work, more people see the possibilities. Maybe you’ve gotten your feet wet with a flexcation, where you travel …

Welcome to this week’s Further, the top hand-picked health, wealth, and personal growth resources for people in their 40s and 50s. Sign up here if you’re not already on board. After taking last week off for Thanksgiving, the relevant resources have stacked up a bit. So without further delay (see what I did there?), let’s …

Retirement is a topic that pops up quite a bit here at Further. Makes sense, because it’s something on the minds of those of us in our 40s and 50s. But we’re putting a different spin on it. The term “unretirement” is gaining traction, even for those of us who are 10 to 20 years …

As we come out of an election that had people stress eating and drinking, we’re now headed toward the holiday season. Except … COVID-19 is worse than ever. The word “lockdown” is resurfacing. Hell, even Utah now has a mask mandate. So, I don’t think the holiday party circuit will be quite as robust this …

In 2020, many college-age kids decided to take a gap year, given that Zoom classes and social isolation are not exactly the experience sold in the brochure. It’s traditionally been a perk of the privileged. Or an excuse for those who didn’t quite have their act together immediately after high school. I definitely could have …

Hey there, welcome to this week’s Further! I’ve been trying to distract myself from, well, *gestures broadly at everything.* So instead of doomscrolling constantly on Twitter, I’ve been digging for resources for smarter living to share with you. Without further ado, here are the top ten for the last week of October. Hopefully one or …

Habits are all the rage these days. James Clear has sold millions of copies of his book Atomic Habits in the last two years, which is cool since I’m mentioned in it. 😉 And it’s true that you have to be consistent to form new beneficial habits. You’ve got to focus on process instead of …

When you were younger, what did you think your current age would be like? I’m not sure I thought about it at all, but I don’t think I thought I would be this … I don’t know, vibrant. A lot of things annoy me right now (gestures broadly at everything). And yet, I’ve got more …

Hey there, welcome to this week’s Further. I do quite a few podcast interviews, usually about entrepreneurship and digital marketing. But recently I got to do one for the kind of things we talk about here at Further. It was a nice change of pace. So this week I’m sharing that interview with Stephanie Sammons, …

Well, hello there … welcome to Further. This week’s issue is slightly shorter than usual, because today’s my birthday and I’ll goof off if I want to. Yep, I’m officially 53 today (and still not acting my age). Just got back from another hiking trip to Moab, with a trek up Vail mountain on my …

Albert Einstein allegedly said that compound interest is “the most powerful force in the universe.” He likely didn’t say that, but that doesn’t mean the sentiment isn’t correct. Compounded gains are so powerful that people tend to underestimate what they mean over time. Warren Buffet certainly agrees. The Omaha billionaire understood from an early age …

It’s a crazy world out there. Wildfires, civil unrest, political outrage, and on and on. Well, I should say it’s a crazy world of social media out there. Here where I am on this planet, we’ve dealt with some weird weather and a bit of smoke and ash from the fires, but that’s about it. …
