#82: How to Get the Most Out of Shatter Your Fishbowl and Live Your Two-Comma Life™


Listen Later

In this episode of The Retirement Readiness Podcast, Tim Regan is joined by his daughter and Prairie View’s Head of Marketing, Maddy Regan, for a candid conversation about their recently launched book and how it’s designed to help readers live their “2 comma life.” Together, Tim and Maddy discuss the unique format of the book—which blends story, practical advice, and workbook sections—and why it’s intentionally created as a choose-your-own-adventure resource, rather than a one-size-fits-all guide.

Maddy shares her personal approach to reading, notetaking, and how different learning styles can shape the reading experience. The episode highlights strategies for those who may find self-help books overwhelming or aren’t sure how to get started, including practical tips on slowing down, taking notes, and reflecting on thoughtful questions.

As Maddy puts it: “Use the book and use the questions and the exercises in the way that it helps you to get to living your 2 comma life.”

Whether you’re eager to dig into every workbook question or prefer to read and reflect quietly, Tim and Maddy reassure listeners that there’s no “right” way to approach the material—and that the most important part is finding what works for you.

Tune in for thoughtful advice on setting your mindset, managing money, and building a community around your financial goals.

3 Key Takeaways

  • The book is structured to suit different learning styles, combining stories, practical exercises, and a flexible “choose your own adventure” format.
  • Slowing down and taking notes—whether in the margins, on index cards, or in a notebook—can help make key messages stick and encourage deeper reflection.
  • Community and discussion, whether through email or reading the book with others, can make the journey to a “2 comma life” more meaningful and supportive.
