Our friend Sunitha Rao came from humble beginnings.

Her parents spent most of their lives in one of the poorest regions in India.

Despite all odds, Suni became a professional tennis player and traveled the globe playing in different tournaments.

Years later, she turned her competitive nature toward real estate.

Her real estate career quickly started to explode, and she’s been addicted ever since.

This episode originally aired in 2019, but it was so good, we decided to replay it.

Jane Kanizay went from financial freedom to divorce to financial freedom again while achieving amazing physical feats along the way.

Jane is an adventurer, educator, activist, speaker, artist, and ​mother of four who successfully climbed Mt. Everest ​with her 19-year-old daughter on May 14th, 2022.

Jane climbs with the message of Teach Us Consent to campaign for ​holistic consent education in the school curriculum and to ​advocate for the prevention of violence against women. This mission helps push her to her physical and mental limits.

High-altitude mountaineering is one of the deadliest sports in the ​world.

It’s also very expensive and hard to imagine being possible for most teachers.

That’s where Jane’s background in real estate shines.

She built a portfolio that is now funding her amazing adventures.

She also gives us an in-depth breakdown of the financial abuse she tries to educate on and advocate against.

Some signs of this abuse from a partner might include:

Jane’s story is so inspirational and we hope that she helps you get out of your comfort zone and achieve the seemingly impossible.

Packing List:

The craziest part? Justin is going to be breaking even from this trip due to the Airbnb income from his primary residence (covered in this geohacking episode).

One of the questions we get asked most often is for guidance on what someone should and should not spend money on.

The answer is always… it depends.

What’s important to me, may not be important to you.

Jen Smith is here to give everyone the framework to make those tough decisions.

This framework is called Value Based spending.

Jen lays it all out in her new book, “Buy What You Love Without Going Broke“.

Long-term listeners may remember Jen from episode 58, “Frugality without Deprivation,” in 2019.

She’s also still rocking things over at the Frugal Friends Podcast.

In today’s episode as we discuss the book you’ll find answers to the following:

And so much more.

You never know how close you are to a great story.

I (Justin) learned that on my recent trip to Africa on my way to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Boarding my flight I met Caitlin James as she was on her way to climb the very same mountain.

The more I heard from her, the more I realized I had come across a truly amazing story.

Caitlin was paralyzed in a boating accident.

Through surgery and rehab, she eventually regained the ability to walk.

Walking was just the start though.

She jokingly said if she could walk again she’d climb a mountain in a banana suit…and that’s exactly what she did.

That first mountain hooked her, and she has racked up an insanely impressive list of summits in just a couple of years.

This story may not seem relevant to some for this show, but we thought it made perfect sense.

Many people want to do something adventurous, travel, and spend their days outside instead of behind a computer.

These reasons are what drive them to retire.

But Caitlin isn’t waiting for retirement to live out her dreams and pursue her passions.

Instead, she is making her passions her career.

Caitlin reinvented herself and her career. Check out her expeditions over the last couple of years:

NORTH AMERICA

SOUTH AMERICA

PERU

ECUADOR

EUROPE

BRITISH COLUMBIA

AFRICA

CHILE

JAPAN

INDONESIA

AUSTRALIA

We hope this inspires you to consider how you can chase your dreams now and not feel as though your life is chained up until retirement.
