You're. Gonna. Die. The 3 most motivating words anyone will ever hear. Inspiration from one of my favorite personalities @garyvee (video link below). If those words aren't enough to motivate you to get you financial affairs in order, we can't help you. This episode is a staunch reminder that tomorrow is not guaranteed for any of us, so now is the time to get your plan together and take action. Accelerate your financial timeline so you can spend the rest of your life doing what YOU want to do!

You're Gonna Die - Gary Vee

In this episode we revisit an old topic of leverage but put more focus on accountability and eliminating excuses. Look in the mirror...and realize you are the only one holding you back!

Pay your self first! We've all heard people make excuses that they don't have money to invest, yet we frequently see these same people out to dinner, with a Starbucks in their hand, wearing the newest clothes, etc. In episode 18 we delve into the concept of reversing typical spending habits. Most people get their paycheck, pay their bills, and spend on expenses. Whatever might be left over at the end of the month - if anything - is what's used for investment. The "pay yourself first" mentality (inspired by Robert Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad) means you first allocate $$ toward investing and whatever is left over is what you have to budget for bills and expenses. This ensures consistent investment over time and capitalizes on the 8th wonder of the world - compound interest!

This episode also treats our listeners to the origin story of Ben and Jeremy's friendship and a bike ride that got everything started. Enjoy!

In this episode we revisit our foundational PoFU credo and and discuss the most common question from many financial planners, "What's your number?" We debate the pros and cons of a cash flow retirement model vs a stock portfolio model (and the 4% rule). 

Inspired by a recent episode of the @therobbaileyshow, Ben pings Jeremy with some thought-provoking questions. Some personal finance mixed in with general life questions, we give thanks to @killrobbailey and @rastarunner_ for influencing the agenda. 

Also special shout-out to our guy @jdiekema for living his best life out in Colorado.

This episode's discussion covers the current state of our syndication investment portfolios, investment targets, and future plans within this space. We also discuss current state of the market and our thoughts on where markets are headed in the coming years.

In this follow-up and to Episode 13, we welcome back our good friend and Eclipse on Tap host, Matt Deighton, to wrap up our conversation about crypto and blockchain technology. We ping Matt with all sorts of technical questions, talk about the applications of these technologies, and get Matt's "hot take" on the future of crypto.
