We quit our jobs that paid close to $100k per year to take a gap year and pursue our dreams. This is why and what our next steps will be.

It's difficult to know what to do in life. Getting a job seems to be the default path society gravitates toward. Probably for good reason. A job is a great way to start making money quickly and get yourself started financially.
For us, a 9 to 5 job and the stable paycheck that came with it was a huge blessing at first. We were in a dire situation when we got married with $120,000 in debt, and the various biweekly or monthly paychecks we earned allowed us to pay that debt off predictably and reliably. The jobs we've held since then have also allowed us to create a comfortable place financially. For that, we are extremely grateful.
But over time, after we became debt free, as our financial situation improved and our goals for the future changed, we continued to pursue the same type of full time, 9 to 5 employment as we always did, as if nothing had changed.
This is where we believe the problems started coming from. We didn't think that, even though a stable paycheck had been able to get us to where we are now, it may not be the best way to get to where we want to go in the future.
It's by trying to solve our current problems and reach our current goals with the same model as we did before (with VERY different problems and goals), that has led us to believe a job/steady paycheck has the biggest hindrance to our personal and professional growth.
This video is not intended to be financial or life advice. It's simply a result of us reflecting on our lives and wanting to share what we're doing.
