Ep 15 - Jaryd Krause: The Plumber Who Left It All Behind to Build a Life on His Own Terms

What would make you walk away from a stable career? For Jaryd Krause, it was the realization that the life he had built as a plumber wasn’t the one he wanted.

So, he left it all behind. No business experience. No roadmap. Just a desire to create financial freedom. Today, Jaryd runs one of the world’s largest communities for buying and growing online businesses, helping others escape the 9-to-5 grind.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The moment he knew he had to leave his plumbing career behind
• How he bought his first online business and avoided scams
• The biggest misconceptions about passive income and digital assets
• How he built a business without burning out (after learning the hard way)
• How podcasting and content marketing helped him scale
• Why he prioritizes surfing over work and what that says about success
• The struggles most entrepreneurs don’t talk about
• His advice for growing a podcast and making it profitable
• His future plans, from helping athletes and artists to scaling his impact

This isn’t just a conversation about business—it’s about designing a life that works for you.
