I start this episode with ‘funnies’ from the past week, then get into the Winter Olympics in Milan. How thrilling would it be to have a luge track nearby that you could use? Problem is there are only four of them in America. In this episode, I break down the differences between luge, skeleton, and
Everything You Don’t See, Regret Minimization, Nicotine vs. Tobacco
This week’s solo episode I pick back up with Morgan Housel’s The Art of Spending Money. As I read through it, the book continues to prove how much of our relationship with money is shaped by our upbringing and expectations.

As It Was, Kyren Lacy, Juiced Returns (from Costa Rica)

God-Tier Trolling, Christian Nationalism, $TSLA, $NFLX, $SPOT (from Costa Rica)

My Journey into Real Estate
During my first job interview after college, the interviewer asked where I saw myself in ten years. I said, “My long-term goals are in real estate. I want to build my own little real estate empire,” to which he smirked. I wasn’t seeking a job so much as a mentor. I needed to find a place

The FI pursuit requires purchasing income-producing assets in lieu of shiny things that depreciate in value.
