Over the last few months, I’ve been interviewing amazing individuals about simple living, location independence, financial freedom and more. Every Thursday, a feature interview is posted on RowdyKittens. Last week I talked with Amber Zuckswert of Epic Self.
This week I chatted with Matt Cheuvront. Matt is the author of Life Without Pants, an entrepreneur, and founder of MATTCHEVY – a Chicago-based online marketing consultancy and web design firm. He has a background in advertising, marketing, PR, and has a passion for the online medium. In short, he is an internet, marketing, PR, ninja.
Enjoy the interview peeps!

Tammy: What is Life Without Pants all about?
Matt: What is Life Without Pants all about? Wow…that is the million dollar question, isn’t it? Life Without Pants, in a nutshell, is a perspective on ‘less restricted’ life. It’s a metaphor for living a life more fulfilled and without the constraints of social norms. It’s not about doing what’s “right”, it’s about doing what you ought to be doing. I try to live my life with this mantra every single day, and the blog is a direct reflection of that mantra.
I started LWP in February of ’09 while I was working at a very corporate, very stuff advertising agency and I needed an ‘escape’ – a creative outlet to share my thoughts and ideas, and a foot in the door into the world of online marketing.

The transitions have been a little crazy, to say the least, but throughout it all, if nothing else, it’s made for some pretty great writing material. [click to continue…]
