Paul and Chris interview M1 Finance's CEO, Brian Barnes, and ask several listener questions.

This is the follow-up to their previous M1 Finance 2024 update podcast and YouTube video.  

They start by asking Brian how and why he created the company. That's followed by a wide-ranging conversation that includes some interesting surprises, like Chris's realization that using M1's target-date pies instead of traditional target-date funds can result in some real tax efficiency.

Here's the topic list with time codes.
