Does financial independence seem like a pipe dream? Not only is it more achievable than many people realize, but small changes can make a big difference in how soon you reach it.

Tune in for a discussion of how we can identify low-value spending, ruthlessly slash it, and cut years off our journey to financial independence. The math is simple. The process is fun. And the results are powerful.

Were you "a pleasure to have in class?" Worry about what "they" will think if you show your true self? In this episode, we talk about the process of shedding those worries in service of becoming the best and most authentic version of yourself.

Whether it's how you spend your money or your time, or how you present yourself in the world, this episode is all about setting aside performative actions and embracing choices that serve your true self.

Ever considered how it would feel to be financially independent... fully work-optional... and even retire early?

Tune in to this week's episode with the amazing Maggie Tucker, early retiree and host of the Inside Out Money podcast. Maggie and I discuss the "why of FI" (financial independence) and her decision to retire early, at age 41. Put those together, and I guess you could say this episode is FIRE...

Join us for a raw and honest discussion of workplace stress, money management, and confronting our thinking about work, money, and time.
