The Entrepreneurial Good Life, with Jonathan Fields

Over the last 12 years or so since I started Copyblogger, I ve had an amazing journey. Along the way, I ve also been fortunate to watch the journeys of those who started about the same time, as well as those that broke out in the following years.

One of those people is my friend Jonathan Fields, author and the founder of The Good Life Project. In many ways, we ve been on parallel paths even before we first met back in 2008 — he also practiced law, and like me, found it to be awful. And then we both turned to the digital world, built audiences, and developed products and services for the people who came on the journey with us.

Now in 2018, we re both concurrently taking a moment to pause, reflect, and envision the next leg of our journeys. In other words, where do you go next once you realize that bigger is not necessarily better, and instead decide to aim for truly better.
