I don’t remember exactly how Sean Marshall and I first connected.
He says it may have been through one of my Fiverr gigs, but what I do remember is following the profile link of one is comments here on SideHustleNation, and landing on the FamilyRocketship.com site.
Sean’s story is one that immediately intrigued me.
Here’s a guy who built an online business, and had the courage to up and move to Cozumel, Mexico — with his wife and 3 young daughters.
It’s not your typical single-23-year-old-dude digital nomad type of story, though Sean’s business itself is simple enough to be replicated.
I’m not just saying that — he’s actually got a Udemy course subtitled “Clone My Business” (that he’s offered at 70% off to Side Hustle Show listeners!).
This is a fun chat about hustling for business and building a lifestyle on your own terms. I think you’re going to like it, even if you have no desire to move abroad. You can hear Sean’s genuine excitement and desire to help others in a similar situation escape the rat race.

Timing couldn’t be more perfect with this Nick! Sean’s story is right in line with what my wife & I are doing right now…even down to the Orange County part, so I can definitely relate. My wife just put in her 2-weeks notice to launch out as a digital marketer. I signed up for Sean’s Udemy course (thanks for the discount Sean & Nick) and can’t wait to get to it!
And cheers to you on making it 92 episodes – I look forward to every Thursday! That 100 episode milestone is right around the corner.
How’s the progress coming Roger?
This episode stops around the thirty minute mark
Weird… tested on a couple devices and is working ok over here. Sorry for the trouble.
no problem I just reloaded the page and moved the slide. I really loved this one things. Also his book is on kindle unlimited as well if you want to add that in the show notes.
Great show! Always inspiring to hear from another family man who has made outside of the typical corporate life. I have built a few wordpress sites for friends and family and tried a few businesses on the side but nothing I felt comfortable enough to focus 100% on. I just bought your class – going to go through it and try to get some processes around my website building efforts. Thanks for the motivation!
Cool. Thanks for tuning in Shane and definitely keep us posted!
Another great podcast Nick. It’s snowing here – wish I was in Mexico.
Thanks Michael. We could definitely use some of that snow out here in CA — our mountains are hurting!
Oh man! This is great stuff. Sean and his family are the real deal when it comes to how to really create a lifestyle business. Cheers to the Marshall family!
Thanks Tiare! Think this is a kind of biz you could emulate?
Aloha, Nick! Yes, definitely, because this is the kind of business I already have. ; ) Sean and I are online buds and I’m always inspired by what he and his family have accomplished. They’re the real deal! Our families both firmly believe in the importance of family lifestyle design.
My husband and I have a common “dream lifestyle” which is to be utterly devoted in time, energy, and other resources to our faith, family, and the causes we care about. We never wanted to be too swamped at our day jobs to miss a soccer game or be too cash-poor to take a trip on a whim or be too busy to volunteer in our community. So we built several online passive income businesses and got out of debt, and now we homeschool our children, travel, and do lots of fun things while still living in our native Hawai’i where we’re very active in our community. Taking care of ourselves enough to where we can really help take care of others is our definition of a dream lifestyle.
Wow that’s awesome!
“Taking care of ourselves enough to where we can really help take care of others is our definition of a dream lifestyle.”
Amen!
Thanks for featuring a great family who is living the dream!
Thanks for finding this guy Nick! Truly an awesome story!
Glad you liked it!
