Solo episode this week. I share a story from my 40th birthday—I woke up that day in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, a day like any other. Little did I know, Lady O had plans for me that would ensure my life would never be the same again.
I did a poll in my Instagram Stories last week where I asked listeners what they would like me to talk about in this episode.
Of four (4) options, the results were a tie between:
- A deeper dive into 40 Pieces of Life Advice for 20-Year Old Me
- Personal finance & Investing
Since there was a tie, I decided to dive back into those pieces of Life Advice related to personal finance & investing. Like Wednesday, November 4, 2020, half of voters will be happy.
I also tell the story of Lululemon, whether Amazon stock ($AMZN) is a BUY and make promises to listeners based on my relationship to money & travels around the world.
