Episode 29: The Van Life CEO: How to Turn Your Passion into Profit with Sierra Eberly

Lots of people wonder how to make money while living the van life. Sierra Eberly did just that by ditching the corporate 9-5 life and creating her own business on the road called Boondock Consulting. Sierra is the first to admit this wasn’t an easy process, and she had to overcome fear to say goodbye to her steady paycheck and go out on her own.

In this podcast, Sierra gives tips and tricks for becoming a CEO from your campervan, and what she’s learned along the way.

I interviewed Sierra Eberly for this episode of The Wayward Home podcast, which is a rebroadcast from the Van Life Virtual Summit. You can still get an All Access Pass for the summit, which includes over 30 videos on so many aspects of van life, from solar and electrical, to how to make money on the road, to living out of a car instead of a van, etc.
