July 17, 2024 Finances & Fitness (How to Win on Easy Mode)
Cody & Justin have worked hard on their finances and fitness over the past few years.
Through these pursuits, they've noticed many similarities in the methods it takes to be successful in both.
Some of these areas include:
Compounding
Tracking
Social norms
Mentality
Budgeting
Unfortunately, the fitness and finance worlds have been purposely overcomplicated for financial gain.

June 12, 2024 Tax-Free Wealth and Strategies Used By The Rich | Tom Wheelwright
How much money you make is certainly an important factor for early retirement.
However, it's not the most important factor.
The amount you keep is truly what matters.
This is largely driven by how much you spend and how much you give to the government.
Giving to the government is a reference to your tax bill and that's where Tom Wheelwright comes in.
Tom runs WealthAbility where he helps business owners permanently lower their tax bill.
Many people are giving away thousands of dollars that are rightfully theirs if they fully utilize the tax code.

May 29, 2024 $50K/mo in Passive Income with POD, FBA, and More | Ryan Hogue
What's better than just making money?
Making money while you sleep.
Ryan Hogue joins us today to give us a major deep dive into several passive income streams.
The two big ones are fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and print-on-demand (POD).
Print-on-demand is especially compelling because it requires no risk and is extremely passive.
Just come up with an idea...or even just a word.
Customers get that on a shirt, bag, mug etc.
Or maybe you can find a unicorn product to sell via Amazon FBA.
Ryan has built up $50K/mo in passive income with these side hustles!
You won't want to miss this one as Ryan brings all the real-world details so you can give these streams a try.

May 22, 2024 Your Guide to Stock-Based Compensation | Brian Feroldi
W-2 jobs don't often get a ton of love in the financial independence space.
However, we'd argue it's the most likely path for the largest percentage of people.
Especially when you learn how to really squeeze all the value out of that career.
Brian Feroldi joins us to discuss just how to do that.
Specifically how to leverage Stock-Based Compensation (SBC).
It's possible that the stock your company gives you makes you more money than your entire salary.
But it can be a nuanced subject with terms like Options, RSUs, vesting period, etc
Make no mistake, the golden handcuffs get their name honestly.
This compensation is a tactic to hold onto the best and give you a big reason to stick around just one more year (then one more...)
It also aligns you and the business to the same overall goal via incentives.
That goal is to maximize profits because if the company wins, you also win.
You may have been curious about Stock-based Compensation or maybe you're already in this world but need more clarity.
Either way, this episode will answer all those burning questions and show you how to maximize every last drop of your W-2 job.
