Without Boxes The Without Boxes Podcast: Featuring ordinary people with extraordinary stories. Life is hard. However, that doesn't mean you don't deserve a happy life.

We are each placed in our own unique life with access to a different set of skills, desires, and resources – and often times, it feels like we got the short end of the stick compared to others. At Without Boxes, we go out of our way to find and share stories that help you learn to think in different ways, so you can do the things you care most about. Help others get perspective and ideas by sharing your own stories, and read to learn from others. In the end, we're all in this together.

Finding and Balancing Opportunities – Renegade Radio S1E4

“Try almost everything you can. Even now, I don’t really have to work, but I do because I’m not the type of person to sit at home. Last month, I had four jobs, because I tend to try everything and find out what fits. I was offered four totally different opportunities, and I said yes to everything. They kind of weeded themselves out, and now I work a few days a week for a few hours. We’ve had several failures of course, and if it doesn’t feel right, walk away. But until it doesn’t feel right, give it a shot.”

– Lane

“There’s always an excuse. There’s always a reason you can find not to take that first step. It’s scary! We finally realized we’re gonna just do this, we’re gonna leave. And we committed to six months knowing we were gonna hate living in the van. But we committed to six months to get the experience. There’s never a right time. You’re never going to have all the boxes checked. There’s lots of growth, and opportunities for experience. Take the step.”

– Ryan

Are you living in the blasé middle ground? Lane and Ryan challenge the status quo every day by hustling through odd jobs, nomadic lifestyles, and property and business ownership. As Lane says, “I hate the word ‘should’, if you are shackled by this idea of how you should be and you can never explore…

Taking Action in a Complex World - Without Boxes

Tune in on iTunes to hear our latest podcast!

Chance Encounters – Renegade Radio S1E1 - Without Boxes

Our first episode of Renegade Radio is now available! Listen in to "Chance Encounters"

Chance encounters are those little moments in life that you could never predict, but end up changing the course of your future forever. In this episode of Renegade Radio, Kat Franchino sits down to ask Anne Dorko about her take on chance encounters and how we can get more out of life by seeking them out. Are these moments truly coincidental, forged by destiny alone?

"These types of things are a practice. It doesn’t just happen to you. There are opportunities everywhere, there are a million and one moments happening at any given point. You’re wading through a sea of opportunities, it’s a practice and a skill to look and see what those are and choosing whether or not to take them." – Anne Dorko

Chance encounters are those moments in life that you can't predict, but change the course of your future. Are these moments coincidental, forged by destiny?
