This discussion has been months in the making. Clay Collins caught my attention long ago when he was writing at The Growing Life and Finance Your Freedom. Today he’s dedicating his attention to a fantastic program teaching people how to build purpose-driven freedom businesses.
Clay is an expert marketer, with solid knowledge of market research, testing, keyword research and SEO. But he’s also someone who uses this stuff for good. Clay Collins is someone who has built his life and his business around helping others find their purpose.
His writing has always been really compelling, but I feel like I’ve watched him find his true passion over the last year or so and the quality of his message has become truly captivating. Finance Your Freedom evolved into Project Mojave, where Clay and a faculty of awesome folks like Jonathan Mead, Laura Roeder, Johnny Truant, Michael Martine, and Dave Navarro have helped tons of people turn their passion into profitable businesses that can take them out of the 9-to-5.
I had the chance to get to know Clay better and get his perspective on freedom and purpose in this 25-minute interview:
Clay Collins Interview from Cody McKibben on Vimeo.
You can grab Project Mojave’s impressive, free manifesto The Liberation Revolution and check out this opportunity to get involved in the 4-month course for free!
Project Mojave’s doors open for 200 more students starting Tuesday. That’s tomorrow! What makes this different than crappy programs like Teaching Sells is that Clay and other teachers will actually hold your hand through the process of building and launching a product or business. Clay is going to personally take one lucky member’s idea and build an automated freedom business out of it himself.
Even if you’re not interested in the course, make sure you check out Clay’s blog, where he’s got tons of great, motivational content and of course, the inspirational ebook, for free, and follow him on Twitter @claycollins. Some great posts from ProjectMojave.com:

Clay also caught my eye a while back. Project Mojave seems great this time around, especially since Clay will be working with a particular business model to serve as a case-in-point. The only thing I would be worried about it the sheer size of the program–he’s opening it up to 200 participants?
It might be more beneficial to keep it smaller and more collaborative, more similar to Seth Godin’s SAMBA program.

I have also been following Clay for a while now.
200 members at $97 per month = a pretty good business model!

Important questions brought up to Clay. Haha. I’ve been reading his stuff since TGL too. Something about the Feng Shui room thingy caught my eye then.
Great interview Cody!

Hey Cody!
Thanks for sharing this with us:) Busy loading the videos as I type this comment! This is something that is appealing to me more and more, being able to help people find their passions and help them create a way to do what they love and get an income from it htat is enough to live off!
Wow man, just watched the interview, really great stuff! I love how in the beginning you asked Clay what he started studying and he responded with some massive scienftic name and you were just like “woah, okay”
Cheers!
