From Freelancer to Financial Freedom - AI, Residual Income, and the Future of Work

Join host Charlie on "Ways to Wealth" as he chats with Karl Craig-West, a freelance digital marketer and business advisor living in Fiji.

Karl shares his eclectic career journey, from property maintenance at 19 to running a web design agency; highlighting the freedom and challenges of self-employment.

The episode dives into the freelance economy’s rise, AI’s transformative role in work (think productivity boosts via ChatGPT and automation), and strategies for building residual income through ventures like YouTube channels.

Karl envisions a future with multiple income streams, living on a boat near his daughters in New Zealand, and stresses diversifying beyond property-heavy economies.

He offers practical advice: find a passion, serve a paying market uniquely (e.g., his payment plans), and embrace AI to stay competitive.

Charlie previews his membership model, blending expert access with financial tools, proving freelancers can rethink retirement and thrive in an AI-driven world.
