My guest today is a dear friend and fellow author and investor, Jake Taylor. He trusted me once with his life during a sailing trip on some rough seas. Today Jake shares the memory of his great-grandmother, who instilled in him, his interest in saving, meeting Warren Buffett, who fired up his passion for investing, and life experience that ultimately led him to pursuit of freedom.
