b'Have you ever dreamt of breaking the chains of routine, retiring early, and traveling the world?\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nIn this episode, we chat with Erik Hemingway, a highly experienced self-storage investor who achieved early retirement and used his wealth to travel the world. We discuss his journey of building his first storage in Arizona in 2006, moving to Costa Rica a year later, and living on a sailboat in Greece for three and half years while traveling to 24 countries. We learn how they sold their cars, houses, and possessions to make the journey possible and met other boaters who encouraged them. After returning to the US, Erik reveals how he invested in fixing and flipping, constructing buildings, and converting them into storage units to build a nest egg.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nJoin us as we dive deep into Erik\'s story of taking risks and achieving financial freedom through self-storage investing!\\n\\xa0\\n[00:00 - 07:47] From Construction to Self Storage Investor\\nIntroducing Erik to the show\\nHe and his family took an early retirement through self-storage investing and traveled the world\\n\\xa0\\n[07:48 - 15:17] Exploring the Possibilities Through Boating and Real Estate Investing\\nLiving on a boat is economical and freeing\\nFound fix and flips, built new construction, and got back into storage\\nLaunched Nomad Capital off the boat adventure\\n\\xa0\\n[15:18 - 22:47] Facing Fear and Following Gut\\nHeavy-value add projects like renovating old buildings, grocery stores, K-marts, hosiery mills, and soda bottling facilities\\nFear is a muscle that you can exercise\\n\\xa0\\n[22:48 - 26:23] Closing Segment\\nBest investment:\\nWorst investment:\\nThe most important lesson learned:\\n\\nQuotes:\\n\\xa0\\n"One key thing about life is always being willing to be surprised.
