Entrepreneur Timothy Ferriss shares his secrets for how to escape the 9-to-5 grind and work just four hours week.

Instead of swinging for the fences to please shareholders, the company has emphasized steady growth, focusing on its home market after learning its lessons from a misguided expansion plan outside of Hawaii during the 1990s.

It should be reasonably priced, relatively stylish (for your kid's sake), and safe and reliable (for your peace of mind). Here are the best options we found.

Florida Matters
"Florida Matters" is WUSF 89.7's forum that goes beyond the daily headlines and explores issues that matter to you and your community. Hear directly from decision makers, experts and other concerned citizens. Our purpose is not only to stimulate conversation, but to advance the discussion.

  • The Impact of Sept. 11
    The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, are imprinted on the nation’s collective psyche, influencing everything from the nation’s foreign policy and how we travel by air to where our military forces are deployed and how we train first responders. We note the anniversary of the attacks, focusing on how the events of that day changed life -- and lives -- in the Bay area.
  • Recession Saving and Investing
    As our current recession has persisted -- and even deepened -- we’ve heard the stories of people cutting back to make ends meet. Sometimes that means changing investment strategies or even reducing contributions to retirement accounts because paying the bills today demands it. In this edition of Florida Matters, financial advisors offer their take on keeping your financial house in order through a sour economy.
  • Crime and Recession
    Conventional wisdom says crime rises when the economy goes bad; studies say that has been true during every recession since the 1950s. With the country facing what many consider to be the deepest recession in 70 years, that could mean a spike in criminal activity. In this edition of Florida Matters we'll learn more about why crime jumps in a bad economy, and see how that's really playing out in the Tampa Bay area.
  • Facing the Mortgage Crisis
    The number of foreclosures in Florida has quadrupled since 2006. In Bradenton and Sarasota alone, foreclosures rose 600 percent between 2006 and 2008. In this edition of Florida Matters, we're examining the impact of foreclosure on our community. We answer listener-submitted questions about mortgage problems and connect you with resources to help if you're facing the prospect of losing your home.
  • Feeding Ourselves
    Earlier this year, state education officials found they needed $62 million more to cover free and reduced lunches for low-income children. Meanwhile, more families have become eligible for food stamps and food banks say they need more donations to meet greater demand. We're looking at the impact of the recession on food as we continue our Florida Matters series on the economy.
  • Finding Work
    Florida Matters is focusing on the economy and helping you find resources to face your economic issues. In this edition: jobs. We’ll meet a few Bay area residents doing whatever they can to find a steady paycheck. A job counselor tells us what life is like on the other side of the desk. And a career coach explains how to snag work even when no one’s hiring.
  • Art as a Career - Reprise
    For many artists, their creations are a hobby, a passion, an outlet. Some artists make a go of it as professionals, depending on their creativity to provide an income. But is there demand for art in this sour economy? And how do you take that leap to turn art-making into a career? Listen and learn how artists are making that happen, and explore the market for their work.
  • Seminole Gaming Negotiations
    This spring, lawmakers agreed to give the Seminole Tribe exclusive rights to some card games in exchange for millions of dollars in revenue sharing for the state budget. Negotiations are underway to finalize the details, including how much money the state gets. We have an update on a new gambling compact with the Seminoles, and how the deal will impact pari-mutuels in the Bay area.
  • Fighting Invasive Species
    Burmese pythons are getting plenty of attention lately. Congress is considering a federal ban on importing the snakes and moving them across state lines, and there has been talk of hunting the snakes down. Florida has many non-native plants, pests and animals that aren’t as threatening to humans but still cause harm. This week, learn about some of those species and efforts to limit their impact.
  • Mass Transit: The Next 40 Years
    For years, the talk in Florida has been about mass transit. Here in the Bay area, a relatively new planning agency is taking a regional approach to transportation planning and has unveiled a 40-year master plan. Light rail, expanded bus routes, dedicated lanes -- it's all in there. TBARTA officials join us to answer the questions you've submitted about the plan.
  • Defending Freedom
    Florida Matters introduces you to some local members of the military who reflect with us about what the Fourth of July holiday means to them and why they chose to serve in the armed forces.
  • The Impact of Bullying
    After a group of middle school students were charged by police with sexually assaulting one of their peers, many parents started to wonder: how bad is bullying in our schools? We look at what's going on in schools and why doctors now consider bullying a health issue. And we consider whether there are links between the schoolyard bully and the adult who bullies co-workers.
  • Deciding How Water’s Used
    A bill waiting for the governor’s signature would give water-permit approval authority to water management district directors instead of appointed boards. It’s part of an unrelated bill allowing more Florida-friendly landscaping and was added at the last minute. This week on Florida Matters, we’ll explore why some people say the change is a bad idea while others say it’s not really a change at all.
  • Spurring Economic Growth
    A new law significantly changes how the state handles growth. Business groups and developers say relaxing some of the requirements for new construction will jump-start work and boost the state's economy, while some local governments and environmentalists argue the changes will lead to clogged roads and unchecked development. This edition of Florida Matters examines what a new era in growth regulation could mean for the Sunshine State.
  • Attracting Visitors
    The economic recession is keeping many would-be travelers at home -- or at least making them more careful about spending their travel dollars. Across Florida, that’s leading to amped-up marketing in hopes of drawing people here. Florida Matters surveys the tourism industry to find out what those businesses are expecting for the summer and where they are directing their efforts.
  • Preparing for Hurricanes 2009
    As another hurricane season begins, officials don’t want residents to be complacent after a few quiet seasons. It only takes one storm to ruin your summer, they say, pointing to the likes of Andrew and Katrina. In this edition of Florida Matters, we’ll meet Florida’s new emergency manager, debunk some hurricane preparation myths, and check on Galveston, Texas, where they weathered last year’s biggest storm.
  • Legislative Session Analysis
    Lawmakers used federal stimulus money and a variety of increased fees to support a $66.5 billion spending plan for next year. But they failed to pass any significant tax reforms, despite much talk of a system that is too dependent on sales tax to fund state government. In this edition of Florida Matters, we look back at the annual legislative session and talk about what was done and what was left unfinished.
  • Catching Criminals
    An often-cited statistic among law enforcement professionals goes something like this: 6 percent of people commit 60 percent of the crime. We'll learn about efforts by one local sheriff's office to catch that 60 percent. Plus, white-collar and financial crimes have been all over the news. We'll look at how investigators are going after the culprits, in this edition of Florida Matters.
