March 29, 2022 The Wealth of Connection | Vincent Pugliese
Today's episode features Vincent Pugliese, author of The Wealth of Connection.
But really when I think of Vincent, I think of a master networker and amazing storyteller.
Vincent walks us through how he went from a guy with a camera standing outside of a stadium to taking some of the most iconic pictures of some of the biggest names in professional sports.
The whole time Vincent was building a photography business, he was really seeing the success of his true passion -- making connections.
Today, Vincent is helping others build their connections and facilitating masterminds.
When should you reach out, how should you reach out, how do you take advantage of chance encounters... and a whole lot more.
Are you wanting to answer some of those questions, build your own network, or know someone who might benefit from this episode?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, please share!

March 22, 2022 Tipped Finance | Barbara Sloan
Today's episode features Barbara Sloan, Author of Tipped.
Tipped focuses on personal finance for anyone in the "tipped" industry.
The tipped industry includes waitresses, bartenders, hairdressers, cosmetologists, dancers, etc.
Barbara spent a lengthy career in the tipped industry. After she became passionate about personal finance, she realized there was a huge information gap for tipped workers like herself.
How do you save for retirement? Deal with pay variability? Handle benefits? These are all questions that people getting paid primarily in tips have to figure out for themselves.
Now Barbara is tackling those questions head-on with her brand and latest book.
Ever wonder what unique challenges a tipped employee might face? Are you a tipped worker or know someone who might benefit from his episode?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, please share!

March 15, 2022 How Far We’ve Come
In this episode, Justin & Cody take a look back on what all has changed in their lives since the show started back in October 2018.
It's hard to believe that the show has been going for so long but there's no sign of slowing down.
In 2018:
Justin was still in the Air Force
Cody was working a corporate finance gig
Justin planned to work until age 43
Cody thought he'd keep climbing the ladder
Obviously, Justin and Cody are no fortune-tellers...
Fast-forward to today and Cody has built an insanely profitable online presence, Justin made the jump to corporate America and multiplied his income, and both have reached financial independence.
You'll hear an exact breakdown of what's changed for The FI Show guys since 2018 including income, expenses, net worth, and money mindset.
Hoping this serves as a piece of inspiration for those just getting started!

February 22, 2022 All the Hacks | Chris Hutchins
Today's episode features Chris Hutchins from the hit new podcast All The Hacks.
Chris has always been obsessed with making life as optimal and enjoyable as possible without excessively spending money to do so.
But how did he get here?
Well, he's had typical employment, been laid off, started a series of conferences for those that also found themselves unemployed during the Great Recession, founded a successful start-up that educated the masses on personal finance, and sold said start-up.
He's had quite the journey!
Along the way, he's built up a ton of expertise and passion all related to life hacks.
Now, he's pumping out fantastic episodes with some names you might not know yet, and names you're likely familiar with (Tim Ferriss, Manu Ginobli, Kerri Walsh Jennings, The Points Guy....you get where this is going).
Chris' podcast is certainly one to add to your weekly rotation and we're pumped to showcase his story.

February 02, 2022 Financially Independent by Age 20 with Real Estate | Jabbar Adesada
Today's episode features Jabbar Adesada, a 20-year-old Marine who is targeting this year for financial independence!
Jabbar was obsessed with basketball and poured all of his attention there, the only problem was he wasn't even getting to play.
That, combined with his disobedience to do some work his preacher ask him to do made for a dramatic change brought on by Jabbar's father.
His dad popped his basketballs and told him he had to read Rich Dad, Poor Dad... and that was the end of basketball for Jabbar.
Jabbar goes on to join the Marines straight out of high school and starts to study the stock market and real estate like crazy.
His persistence would lead to a house hack where he'd rent out four rooms and then later a luxury Airbnb property... all while essentially making minimum wage.
He's currently hunting for more deals and projects that he'll reach FI after he closes on the next one.
Do you know a young person who needs some inspiration, are you interested in real estate investing, or maybe you just want to hear a great story this is the episode for you!

January 25, 2022 Instagram Growth, Real Estate, and Couple’s Finance | The FI Couple
Today's episode features Ali and Josh from The FI Couple.
They found themselves in over $100k in debt and knew something had to change.
Once they started tackling debt and real estate, they knew they had to share that with the world.
So, from a middle-of-the-night idea, they built an Instagram in late 2020 and started putting in the work.
In just a short time they built up almost 90k followers (as of Jan 2022), but it wasn't just blind luck.
Ali and Josh are constantly experimenting and refining their processes in all of their entrepreneurial pursuits.
Please share this episode with anyone you think could use a great story about starting a business with a couple, climbing out of debt, or building an Instagram audience.
