Nadine Hays Pisani (http://www.happierthanabillionaire.com/) and her husband Rob, decided to escape the stressful life of running their financially successful chiropractic practices in New York and moved to Costa Rica. As Nadine states on her website, although Costa Rica it is not an island, they did find their own paradise.
In Nadine’s witty, but informative book, Happier Than A Billionaire, she does not just focus on all of the good experiences on dropping everything and moving to paradise.
She describes the ups and downs, she and her husband experinced. In fact, Nadine’s been bitten by a bullet ant, slept with scorpions between her sheets, and hiked into a cave where a frisky crocodile was waiting for her. Yet, as she so elegantly says, “And you know what? It is still better than a day in the office.”
During this week’s Live Life Aggressively podcast, Nadine joins Mike & Sincere to discuss:
