What is it actually like to run a business while living full-time in an RV—and not the Instagram #vanlife version where you’re crushing seven figures from a hammock?
Melissa Mitt (a.k.a. Melissa Mittelstadt; https://www.melissamitt.com/) joins me to chat all things lean business, RV living, and making work fit around real life, not the other way around.
Melissa opens up about ditching the “right way” to schedule calls, why her clients are chill about rescheduling, and how her workday balances actually living in new places without burning out. You’ll get the inside scoop on her favorite tools, what Internet setup you really need for rural business calls, and why testing the RV life is essential before you sell your house in a fit of entrepreneurial rebellion.

Key Takeaways:
Build your schedule around your real habits—not what hustle culture says is “productive.”
Prep for unpredictable internet and always have a backup plan if your Zoom call turns into a coffee shop adventure.
Test drive any “big change” (like RV life) before you swap stability for wanderlust—and budget for more than just gas.
This podcast is for business owners who are tired of hustle culture and want relatable, honest conversations about running a sustainable business that actually works for their life.
