My Co-Author and Freelance Writer Moves her Business to Port Portugal #245 Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

Description:

This week I am speaking with my dear friend and colleague Susan Lahey. Susan is a freelance writer who has worked with me on all three of the Repurpose Your Career books. I had Susan originally on the podcast in episode 54 and then did an encore episode with an update in episode 122. Susan took you on her journey on how she went from a journalist to being a freelance writer. This is a much more difficult transition than you might think.

In 2019, Susan decided to move her freelance writing business to Port Portugal after all three of her children had graduated from college. I wanted Susan to take you on her journey of both becoming an expat and setting up her business in Europe.

Pierre has an encore career that goes back to his childhood, buying and selling vintage money. His website is BuyVintageMoney.com. I want you to hear his story because he saw ageism occurring when he himself was still young. He cultivated this business on the side for decades.
