Achieving the type of “freedom” you're seeking probably has already been done by someone else. So, why not just reverse-engineer the formula instead of re-inventing the wheel? Neel Parekh, CEO of MaidThis Franchise, interviews people who have already achieved Time, Location, or Financial Freedom and dive into their stories. The common thread: how to live life on your own terms.

  • Break free

    The best part of learning to be location dependent is that there is total freedom in what you do with that freedom. Stay where you are. Go on more trips. Or travel full-time. Love how this podcast helps you get to that freedom!

    I first found Neel on “X” and his message really resonated with me. His podcast is a longer form extension of that knowledge share and even after 20 plus years in business I still gain insight from the man himself and his guests. Thanks for always bringing the value.
