Fire Drill

Justin went from hard-working civil engineer to hard-working stay at home dad by the age of 33. 

He had dreams of one day being a lawyer and quickly realized he liked engineering better. While he did like engineering, he also really enjoyed staying home with his growing family. He and his wife did the math and realized they could make it happen in just a few short years. 

The rest, as they say, is history. 

We also chat about...

Justin's net worth 

their portfolio allocation

Alex was stuck.

She hated her job and couldn't stand to be at her cubicle one more second, but she had bills to pay. One day, she realized she could turn her side hustle into her full-time hustle..... and quit the very next day. Her side hustle? Doing paperwork for others like writing press releases through Fiverr!

Since then, she's learned a ton and made more money than she ever could have dreamed of! We welcome her to FIRE Drill Podcast to share her insights on how to hustle on Fiverr.

You'll be inspired by her story!
