The FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) Movement has exploded in the past year, gaining mainstream coverage, including a documentary, many new books, and a high-profile debate with old-school personal finance gurus. But even though the "FIRE is spreading," is it already dead? In this episode I go deep with one of my personal favorite FI bloggers, Bob Lai about his own journey, what the FIRE movement is missing, living a joyful life, and why happiness might not be the only logical pursuit. Check it out.

In this episode, my friends Logan and Matt join me to discuss three different ways we're making money online: e-commerce, content, and SaaS. Logan runs a portfolio of successful Amazon FBA and e-commerce brands, Matt recently launched a rapidly growing app, and I own a portfolio of content websites. Making money online is becoming more competitive, but there are still great opportunities if you're willing to think differently and keep experimenting.

In this episode, I chat with Haroon Mokhtarzada, serial entrepreneur and CEO of Rocket Money, about how he sold his first company Webs.com for $125 million, how he escaped feeling lost after the acquisition, what financial independence means to him, and how he grew and sold his second company TrueBill to Rocket Companies for $1.5 Billion. We also dive into the most important metrics that matter in any business if you want to grow, as well as the opportunities and challenges of taking on outside investors. Haroon shares his simple framework for whether it makes sense to get investors or keep your freedom and more. I loved this conversation and I'm excited to bring more entrepreneurs on the show.
