Summary: In this episode, Alex Joungblood and I are talking with the awesome master of the virtual-business lifestyle, Matt Andrews. Matt knows from experience that living an entrepreneur’s life – specifically in real estate investing – means not trying to make your lifestyle fit around your business, but creating a business that fits around the type of lifestyle you want. And sometimes to do this, we have to reinvent or redefine ourselves. Someone who knows a whole lot about that very thing is the one and only Captain Kirk. Yep, William Shatner. Matt actually had the honor of working with Shatner on a wonderful book project, and they sat down to talk about all the goods, resources, tools and information ‘Catch Me Up’ can offer. I’m so excited that we are able to include their interview in this podcast… so I say we get to this awesome episode right away… warp speed ahead!
