Every week, for over 450 episodes, Dan and Ian talk on this podcast about business, entrepreneurship, and location independence.

They do so because they love creating and consuming audio content.

So, it’s no wonder that when Dan finally wrote his first book, Before the Exit, he was naturally very passionate about creating a narrated audiobook version.

On today’s podcast, we are talking audiobooks. In particular, we’ll be discussing how we recorded our first audiobook, as well as sharing some of the most popular passages as highlighted by readers.

You’ll also hear about the growth of audiobooks as a medium and why authors such as Michael Lewis and Margaret Atwood are increasingly committing to audio rather than the written word.

And, as a special bonus, listen in to find out how you could be the recipient of a very unique gift.
