About Robert Earl

Welcome to my Blog. I am Robert Earl, The Founder of Earl’s Guide.

In 2022 my wife Stacy & I took the leap, sold our home near the beach in Florida, bought an RV and hit the road full time in an RV. We both still work full time and now travel the country with our 2 pups in a 38 foot diesel pusher Brinkley 3610 Fifth Wheel.

hitting the road

selling our home & becoming digital nomads

My wife Stacy and I made a bold decision. We sold our beautiful 1,900 square-foot home in Dunedin, Florida, to purchase a modest 38-foot RV to live on the road full-time as digital nomads. Despite this daring move, we are still working full-time jobs from wherever we are. In our spare time, when not touring the local areas, we work to remodel our RV to make it more of a home that reflects our wants and needs.

We have been living on the road since early 2022 and have already visited 20+ states and countless cities. We will be documenting our journey on this blog, which is full of helpful advice for anyone considering taking a similar route. We have no plans to settle down anytime soon; instead, we hope to continue our travels indefinitely, seeing as much of the US as possible and enjoying the freedom that comes with it. 

Although sometimes tiring, Stacy & I believe life on the road has its rewards: a sense of liberation from society’s expectations and pressures and plenty of time to explore new places together. Despite any challenges associated with RV living, the experience has been invaluable, allowing them to build meaningful connections with people worldwide.

We are proof that it’s possible to follow your dreams and live an adventurous life without sacrificing financial stability or professional success. We are building a wonderful lifestyle for ourselves on the road, providing endless opportunities for growth, exploration, and unique experiences. Our story will inspire anyone looking to break out of their routine and pursue something extraordinary.

We encourage visitors to join us on the road should they ever find themselves in the same area. It has already been an incredible adventure, and we can’t wait for you to follow along as we continue our travels around the US and beyond. Who knows what fantastic things await us next? All we know is that it’ll definitely be an unforgettable journey!

By sharing our journey online, we can inspire others to explore new possibilities in life outside of traditional norms; after all, anything is possible if you put your heart into it!

we are only given so much time

In 2020, my world was forever changed when I experienced what I considered to be severe health issues. Just as the world was starting to close down due to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, I experienced a vestibular stroke, which impaired my balance and caused extreme vertigo attacks that made it difficult to stand up. One day I was covering the St. Pete Grand Prix as a member of the media, and two days later I was flat on my back with extreme vertigo.

Because all the hospitals and medical services were so focused on the response to Covid, I couldn’t get in to see any specialist. When I got into a doctor, I underwent several extensive tests. The recovery process took nearly 2 years, with several follow-up appointments, a few surgeries to correct some vision issues, and one procedure involving receiving an artificial disc in my neck. The experience shook me to my core and made me think about my overall mortality.

At this point, I came to a harsh realization: life is finite, and time is precious. My health problems had abruptly taken away my freedom to enjoy the things I loved most – like traveling and exploring new places – and it felt like every day was passing by so quickly without me having the chance to truly live. Despite the fear and doubt that threatened to consume me, I decided that I needed to make the most of this situation and start making changes to make the best of what remained of my life on Earth.

When we discussed our RV road trip adventures, my health experience helped me to realize that life is too short to hope for someday. We originally planned on doing this eventually once we retired. Still, after my health scare, we knew we couldn’t waste any more time waiting for something that may never come – it was time for us to take action now!

The thought of living out of an RV full-time was intimidating initially. Still, over time, we have become comfortable with our nomadic lifestyle. We learned how to budget responsibly while enjoying camping, sightseeing, meeting locals, attending festivals, and visiting national parks – you name it! Every day brings something new and unexpected into our lives; there are endless possibilities every step of the way.

Nowadays, I try not to let anything hold me back from living out my dreams; you can achieve anything if you put your heart into it! No matter where we go, we always appreciate every moment together because life is too short not to share these unique experiences with those you love! Our journey has taught us many lessons along the way; Lessons about life, love, and happiness have allowed us to grow immensely, individually and as a couple.

Everybody’s waitin’, but they’re waiting on what? Better get to livin’, ’cause all we’ve got is Here and now…

a passion for racing

the indy 500 & 33 Dreams of Indy

When I was in high school, I worked on a crew for a NASCAR race car. We raced all over the Northwest. It taught me about being disciplined and careful. It takes precision to make sure the car is working perfectly.

I have attended 23 consecutive Indianapolis 500s as a fan and over 60 Indy Car races so far. I still remember the thrill of seeing my first Indy 500 race with my brother Matt. He and I attend 10 straight together. That is not bad for someone that has never lived in Indiana.

In 2018, I decided to pursue my passion for racing. I began telling stories of drivers striving to one day participate in the Indy 500 via a podcast and website called 33 Dreams of Indy. It was incredible to give these rising stars some much-deserved attention and recognition. I found joy in watching them grow and develop on their quest toward achieving their dream. This venture allowed me to attend several races, including the 24 Hours of Daytona and other races on the IndyCar and Road to Indy Circuit.

I never imagined that my love for auto racing would lead me down such an incredible journey – filled with so many unique experiences with inspiring people! But just like with any trip, there have been times when things have yet to go as planned. No matter what, I’ve embraced each moment and tried to make the most out of every situation.

The Media Company

Earls Guide

My journey with Earls Guide began after many years of marketing experience in real estate. After encountering the notion that “every business should be a media company” from Gary Vaynerchuk, I decided to take it to heart and start my own venture.

Earls Guide focuses on web ventures, social media, and consulting for entrepreneurs, self-employed, race drivers, and teams.

One of the highlights of the Earls Guide experience has been being able to teach and share my experience, including classes at St. Pete College and online.

In addition to this work, I have applied my skills to affiliate marketing niche blog sites, YouTube channels, and podcasts. It has been an enriching experience so far that continues to bring new challenges daily! This venture is key to allowing me to continue to work while living on the road.

Each project is a learning opportunity that helps me grow as an entrepreneur, allowing me to apply what I have learned to future projects. I take immense pride in the work that I do and love being able to fulfill my passion for creating content.

It’s been an incredible journey so far, and I’m excited to see what the future holds for Earls Guide!

 

Whether you like it or not, every person is now a media company. The tools are easy, free, and everywhere. More importantly, producing content is now the BASELINE for all brands and companies. It literally doesn’t matter what business you’re in, what industry you operate in, if you’re not producing content, you basically don’t exist. So what’s your excuse?

Education & Early Business Career

contracting, accounting & internet commerce

After my time in the military, I attended Columbia Union College with a focus on Theology and Business. Throughout my career, I have strived to use what I learned in college to help guide me on my journey. I got a job after college with a minority-owned 8(a) government contractor in Northern Virginia through networking connections.

I worked as an accountant and proposal manager. This experience gave me my first work exposure to technology and computer networking. I had used computer systems in my early racing days, but this further solidified my direction to the foundation of the tools that I continue to use to this day.

In addition to my corporate experience, I have also been involved with a few startups in the Washington, D.C., area. My most notable venture was serving as the founding president of an Internet Service Provider company which quickly became one of the mid-sized ISPs in the region. I helped guide this business from its early stages until it eventually became profitable. During this time, I gained invaluable insight into how businesses are run and what it takes to be successful .

After my time at the ISP, I went to work for another startup in the area, as a Director of Product Development & Professional Services for a software commerce company creating internet commerce websites and platforms for Fortune 500 companies. Overall, my experiences in the years following college gave me a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of business operations and allowed me to pursue a career as a business owner of my own real estate group.

military service

air force presidential honor guard

One of the highlights of my military service was my time as a member of the United States Air Force Presidential Honor Guard. It was an incredible honor to be part of such a historic and prestigious unit, and I am immensely proud of my contributions. As an active duty member, I had many unique opportunities to serve in support of the President, Vice President, and other senior officials. My duties included:

* – Providing ceremonial support at White House events.
* – Participating in military parades.
* – Performing funeral honors ceremonies for fallen Airmen and other Veterans.

During my service, I was also able to travel across the United States to represent our country and Air Force. The experience of serving on the Presidential Honor Guard was an integral part of my service in the USAF, one that has left me with a lasting sense of pride in my accomplishments and in our nation’s history.

I am thankful for having had the opportunity to serve our nation in this capacity and look back fondly on my time with the Presidential Honor Guard. It is with great honor that I can say I served my nation as part of this esteemed organization.

This experience has made me more reflective on the sacrifices our service members make every day to ensure the safety and security of our nation.

The Early Years

born in oregon, raised in washington state

I was born in St Helens, OR, and raised in Seattle. Growing up, I was exposed to various activities and opportunities that shaped my current interests and passions. From hiking in the Cascade Mountains to exploring the Puget Sound on kayaks, there was always something exciting to do. After graduating high school in Yakima, Washington, I joined the Air Force, moved away from home, and pursued my dreams of living an adventurous lifestyle. Since then, I have been able to travel around the U.S. and Canada, exploring new cultures and learning about different ways of life.

Despite all my travels, I always find myself coming back to the Pacific Northwest, as it is where I feel most at home. The beauty and abundance of nature here are unparalleled, inspiring me to make a difference in my community and beyond.

“The Pacific Northwest is a place of beauty and abundance, where adventure awaits around every corner. I was fortunate to be born and raised in this area.”
