Beyond the Rut: Create a Life Worth Living in Your Faith, Family, Career

How to Be Unconstrained with Myles Wakeham

In the United States, once you hit 18, you begin surrendering your future to the weight of student loan debt. It's a burden that never seems to lighten, extending its grasp with mortgages, car loans, and credit cards as you journey through life. Then comes the awakening: despite appearing successful, you find yourself lacking in genuine happiness. Retirement feels like a distant dream, college for your children seems financially unattainable, and the repercussions of past financial choices loom ominously. But here's the silver lining - that's why you're here, seeking a different path, one where you can be unconstrained to live the life you want to live.
Myles Wakeham is an expatriate Australian, who moved to the USA in 1989 and became a US Citizen in 2003 in Phoenix, Arizona. Myles lives in Scottsdale, Arizona much of the time, but spends a large portion of his year traveling the world with his wife and daughter, along with managing the building a large property & recording studio in central Mexico.
He is a self-made, financially independent person who is the host of "The Unconstrained Podcast" (https://www.beunconstrained.com/podcast) and the author of the website https://www.beunconstrained.com
It is Myles' goal to empower others to become financially sustainable. This is a methodology that he created and is in the process of codifying it in book form. Myles is known as a "Contrarian" in that he has found success doing the polar opposite of what the masses in society have done, and is proud of this title.
In 2021, Myles and his wife purchased an acre of land in San Miguel de Allende, and began building a home & world class recording studio, in an attempt to return to his musical & sound engineering roots.
