If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be.  Now put foundations under them.
-Henry David Thoreau

About Clay

My name is Clay Collins and I’m grateful that you’re here.

A little about me:

• I am dedicated to helping you with the logistics of liberating yourself from traditional work environments and pursuing non-standard ways of living.
• I believe that the typical work environment is antiquated and not ideal, and I am passionate about helping you find ways to quit your dead end job and create a new life for yourself.
• Each week, I talk to a handful of people living uncommon lifestyles: people living off the grid, work at home couples, farmers, home-schoolers, lawyers who’ve negotiated half-time work schedules with big time law firms, families who’ve sold their homes and are traveling the world, etc. (If you live a non-traditional life, please email me at claycollins [at] gmail [dot] com.
• I moved away from home when I was 15 to start my first company. I eventually got sidetracked by formal education and the “real world,” but I’ve since recovered.
• I am strongly aligned with the home-schooling/un-schooling/world-schooling movements.
• I quit my job in November of 2007. I’ve since started living again and am never looking back.
