Dirtbag Rich - Blake Boles (Part II)

About this episode

Blake Boles discusses living a sustainable dirtbag lifestyle and the value of personal freedom.

Author, adventurer, and sustainable dirtbag Blake Boles joins Doc for some studio time to talk about being the captain of your own ship and doing what you love. Settle in and buckle up as Blake discusses being proudly downward mobile, the value of unschooling, frisbees, trying to pass as a normal person, not being good with boxes, ditching the PCT, escaping from Groundhog Day, fusion dancing, vagabonding, and how to be Dirtbag Rich. Epic. (This is Part II. Be sure to listen to Part I.)
