Brian Gallagher is a Corporate American turned Global Citizen. Brian did what many bright and talented people do right out of college. He went into finance. But a few years in he had his BREAK moment where he realized the money, the status, the “dream” wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

He got out. He owned a fitness studio for a while and then did something even more drastic. He gave away 99% of his belongings and left the traditional path to see the world and live life on his own terms.

He created Simple Man Guide, a personal brand dedicated to helping others leave the corporate world behind, simplify their lives, and regain power over their most precious asset - time. Brian currently lives in Amsterdam.

In this episode, Brian and I talk about his Break moment. How he got over what other people think, and how the key to building your own future is about prioritization.

You’ll take away some great tips and examples from Brian’s story on how to choose yourself, and how you can really do just about anything if you’re willing to say no to traditional advice that often ends up being a trap.
