The exit, told live.
Pablo speaks about money, freedom and the nerve to leave the default path, as someone who did it, not someone who read about it. In English or Spanish, on a stage or on a call, anywhere.
An hour of Pablo on exactly this material: the trip, the markets, the exit.
The facts your introduction will be made of, every one checkable.
quit the job, emptied the flat, left
around the world by bicycle: five years, 30 countries
from first camera to paid photographer: workshops, magazine sales, and a National Geographic feature on the trip
the age he retired; his number made trading prediction markets
Two talks, one life.
The FIRE Exit
The money talk, and the one this site grew out of. Work as a tool, money as stored freedom, the 30× arithmetic of leaving, and the blank page nobody warns you about. The audience leaves with the handout, the tools, and their own number.
- The 30× arithmetic, with their own number started.
- The handout and the tools, free: the talk continues on their phones.
- The question nobody budgets for: what comes after.

Fear does not prevent death
The decision talk. January 2011: quit the job, empty the flat, leave. Five years around the world by bicycle, a first camera to a National Geographic feature within a year, the odds-setters beaten for a living. Out at 34. On risk, reinvention, and choosing your difficulties on purpose.
- A working definition of calculated risk, from someone who priced risk for a living.
- The reinvention method: think it through, put everything behind it, start.
- Permission to choose difficulties on purpose.

Pablo quit his job in January 2011 and left with a backpack. He cycled 47,000 km around the world over five years, beat prediction markets for a living, and retired at 34. He writes and speaks at The FIRE Exit.
Pablo's record reads like a dare: out of the job in January 2011 with a backpack and €10 a day; 47,000 km around the world by bicycle; first camera to a National Geographic feature inside a year; prediction markets beaten for a living; retired at 34, in Lisbon. These days the dare is quieter (competitive sports, serious cooking, the long game of longevity), and it's all written down at The FIRE Exit: essays, free tools, the Europe atlas, 1:1 sessions. He speaks in English or Spanish.
