The Resignation Letter · Chiang Mai, Thailand
Hey, I’m Joshua.
I skipped college, built a freelance business, and moved across the world without waiting until I was rich, retired, or “ready.”
Once a week I send out The Resignation Letter, a short email about building a life in Thailand in my early twenties.
Free. One email a week. Unsubscribe anytime.
