Entrepreneur, Among Other Things
Entrepreneur, among other things...
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, cook a meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
― Robert A. Heinlein
I talk to the most interesting people we can find in business, finance, science, art, technology, and human improvement and try to learn from them.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we delve into the remarkable journey of Billy Keels, who transitioned from a high-stakes corporate career at companies like Dell and Cisco to becoming a global real estate investor and lifestyle entrepreneur. From his roots in Columbus, Ohio, to his current home in Barcelona, Spain, Billy shares the pivotal moments that reshaped his life, including the heartbreaking realization of missing his son’s third birthday for a business meeting.
Billy breaks down the "168-hour rule," explaining how anyone can master their time and build passive income streams to make their job optional. We discuss the power of resilience, the importance of "who knows you" versus "who you know," and how a background in international sales paved the way for cross-border investing. Whether you are a corporate professional feeling trapped by the "golden handcuffs" or an aspiring entrepreneur, Billy’s story offers a masterclass in designing a life of true freedom.
