Our latest episode reflects on how an EFM lifestyle can give you the freedom to pivot your journey, and how there is nothing “small” about any kind of small business or portable career. After weathering the challenges of the first few years of life as an EFM, Mustafa has a delightfully optimistic view on what those years taught him about life and business.
