299-The Philosophy of Modern Survivalism and Permaculture as Applied to Financial Planning: Interview with Jack Spirko, Host of The Survival Podcast Feb 22, 2016

Show notes

I've long admired Jack Spirko and his show "The Survival Podcast" as a voice of reason in an industry fueled by hyperbole and fear.

He does a great job of teaching people how to systematically build a lifestyle of resilience and freedom.

And, most important, he teaches that everything you do to build a prepared life should make your life better if times get tough...or even if they don't.

Enjoy the interview!

297-From Writing About Personal Finance To Becoming Financially Independent: Lessons Learned with Jim Wang, Founder of Bargaineering and Wallet Hacks Feb 19, 2016

Show notes

Can a hobby of writing about personal finance lead to becoming financially independent in a very short time? It did for Jim Wang, my guest on today's show.

Jim founded the site Bargaineering as a part-time hobby. It quickly became a leading voice in the world of personal finance websites.

Ultimately, it led to Jim's becoming financially independent in a shockingly short amount of time.

In today's interview, we seek to go behind the story a bit. To learn about the personal story and lessons learned from Jim's experiences.

He has a lot to share that's very applicable to all of our lives.

Enjoy!

296-The Collapse of MF Global, Breakdown of Trust in the Financial Systems, the Prospect of Global War, and What It's Like to Be a Tax Protester on the Lam: Interview with Ann Barnhardt Feb 18, 2016

Show notes

My guest today is Ann Barnhardt. I first became aware of Ann in late 2011 after she published a letter detailing the closure of her firm, Barnhardt Capital Management.

At the time, this letter troubled me. Many people make strong statements and publish strongly worded essays. But when someone follows through on their word to the point of closing a functioning firm, I pay attention.

I never could quite wrap my head around what happened at MF Global in 2011. Frankly, I still can't.

But I thought it would be awesome to invite Ann on the show to hear her first-hand experience.

She obliged.

During the course of our interview we discussed:

her professional background in the trading and commodities business
what actually happened in 2011 in the markets
what has happened since then
her predictions for future world events
what led her to become a tax protester

Enjoy the show!

295-You Don't Know What to Do Simply Because You Don't Yet Know What You Want Feb 15, 2016

Show notes

Over the weekend, I was reading the book "unWorking: Exit the Rat Race, Live Like a Millionaire, And Be Happy Now" by Clark Vandeventer while sitting in a tire repair shop, waiting for my tire to be patched.

When I came to this page, I stopped. And then I had an epiphany.

When you're very, very clear on what you want, it's simple and easy to decide what to do. But when you don't know what you want, it's almost impossible to decide what to do.

So, do you know what you want?

Enjoy the show!
