Listen Later

Cody wrote a book!

That’s right, the secret is out, and you’re getting all the details here, folks.

Retire by 30 is a guide to reaching financial independence as fast as possible.

In this episode, Justin gets to pepper Cody with questions about the book, including:

  • Why was Cody living the American Nightmare rather than the American Dream
  • What it felt like to hear that he was “a waste of time and resources.”
  • What did saving 80% really look like
  • Did he ever struggle to know what he actually valued versus what he’d been conditioned to want?
  • How to decide when to kill a hustle versus double down?
  • How to choose between the “be an intrapreneur and negotiate raises” path vs. the “quit and side-hustle” path
  • What it felt like to hit FI at 25
  • Which FI is most underrated— Coast FI, Barista FI, Lean FI, Cash Flow FI, etc. Which
  • What was most surprising once money was no longer the forcing function in life?
  • What is it that he wants readers to feel after closing this book
  • What’s next for Cody

    • And much more!

    Have you been looking for a book to help you find your path to early retirement? Or maybe you know someone who could use this kind of guidance?

    Give this episode a listen, check out the book, and share with friends and family!
