Do what you love and get paid for it. For Episode 8 I reached out to a man who has monetized his passions in a sector that is notoriously difficult to monetize. Pete Maina is living his dream. Pete is a larger than life personality and gets paid to fish and to talk about fishing. He has owned publications and worked on networks such as NBC, FOX, and OLN. Pete is one of the highest profile media anglers.
In this episode we discuss how he transitioned from a young guide to a compensated angler. We dive deep into the prescription for getting paid for what you love to do - how he decided he was worth it, and what factors were in play for Pete to ask for money for his services. Pete is also a freedom minded person and so we talk about the impacts of the hast 2 years, including his outlook on things like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and Bitcoin.
