If you look at Justin today you’ll see Life Alchemist, Entrepreneur, Holistic Wellbeing Thought-Leader, Podcaster, Fitness & Money Coach, Fashionista, Spiritual Hipster, and the list goes on.

Although he was making great making, he was struggling with abuse, depression, addiction, eating disorders, etc. Luckily, Justin realized he was headed down the wrong path and returned to Stanford. There, he would get the opportunity to join an early-stage company in a sales role and increase his net worth from -$80K to over $1M in just two years.

| Soul in the Game | Vitaliy Katsenelson | 14 Sep 2022 | 00:45:30 | |
Today’s episode features Vitaliy Katsenelson, author of Soul in the Game and creator of Contrarian Edge. Vitaliy spent the first eighteen years of his life in Murmansk, Russia, a city located above the Arctic Circle in the northwestern corner of Russia. He and his family then emigrated to the U.S. in 1991 where he would study to become a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). Vitaliy entered this country with a very strong scarcity mindset, even being blown away by the idea that you could have soda whenever you wanted. Over the years, Vitaliy would begin writing with a focus on value investing. He started with a more analytical approach that covered financial topics, but over time, his audience grew to ask more and more for his personal stories. Today, he fully embraces that form of author he has become with his new book Soul in the Game. We cover some of the topics from his book such as a method to reduce decision fatigue which Vitaliy calls half-binary decisions, the importance of sinking funks, and how emotional intelligence affects investing. Vitaliy has so much more to offer in this episode as well as in his books so we hope you find a nugget to help you live a more meaningful life.

Today’s episode features Heather Blankenship, an RV park investor expert, who also runs Wealthy Woman. Heather had no RV park industry experience and really no capital to get involved either.

Today, Heather owns over $30M worth of real estate and has turned that rundown park into a money-making machine. Heather continually evolves her business and adds more income streams such as golf carts, tiny homes, boat rentals, a country store, laundry, even milk & cookies brought out by their mascot for the kids — the list goes on and on. Oh, and did we mention she did all this while raising three kids as a single mom!? We are humbled to bring you Heather’s journey and couldn’t be more impressed with her story.

| Traveling the World for Free by House Sitting | Britt Sharman | 27 Jul 2022 | 00:42:02 | |
Today’s episode features Brittnay Sharman, creator of The Travelling House Sitters. After hearing about housesitting from a friend Brittnay decided to give it a go while still living in London. She didn’t mind that it was just down the road from her flat, or that it was only for 1 week, she just wanted to test the waters and gain some experience before diving deep into it. It was a success — she loved it! She had a few months before her visa expired in the UK so she decided to head over to Ireland while she decided what to do next. After discovering that the rental situation was really crazy in Dublin, she decided to house-sit her way around Dublin while working full time. Then in 2019, she house-sat across Thailand, Malaysia, and Turkey all within 3 months! Later that year she’d add on Rome, Montenegro, Greece, Croatia, and more. 2020 was mostly Australia and New Zealand for Brittnay. I think we all know 2020 cut a lot of folks’ travel plans but still two awesome locations. You can imagine the thousands of thousands of dollars she saved all while visiting places likely on your bucket list. She did all of this while working and enjoying countries slowly, sometimes for up to a year in the same location! If you enjoyed this episode as much as we did, please share! Links From the Episode

| Tax-Free Wealth and Strategies Used By The Rich | Tom Wheelwright | 12 Jun 2024 | ||
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.

| Investing in Water | Riggs Eckelberry | 21 Jun 2022 | 00:49:51 | |
Today’s episode features Riggs Eckelberry, the CEO of Origin Clear. Riggs grew up the son of an international businessman. He also had a natural draw towards making the world a better place and joined a Non-profit right out of high school. Then in the early 80s, he followed his passion for technology and started his very own tech company in New York. Riggs eventually sold that to one of his sales reps but didn’t let that stop his business journey. After some high-level executive positions, he eventually became a CEO in the mid-2000s for what would become a major disruptor in the water industry. This company, which Riggs is still the CEO of today, is called Origin Clear. Today, there is a growing need for water independence as central infrastructure fails and populations migrate to secondary cities. Origin Clear answers that call with their Water On Demand initiative which allows everyday investors to invest directly in productive water projects, thereby enabling businesses and communities to pay for only the water they use with no upfront capital required. End-users simply sign a long-term service contract, with regional water companies providing expert support. Innovative OriginClear modular systems are licensed to builders to standardize the fleet, leaving zero “new technology” risk as only proven technologies, systems, and methods are implemented.

| Building a 7+ Figure Coaching Business | Emily Williams | 31 May 2022 | 00:53:53 | |
Today’s episode features Emily Williams from I Heart My Life. Emily was going down a path that so many others do — following a typical career path and heading to graduate school. She was on her way but never made it. Literally. Emily just turned the car around with no real plan. It took a few years working low-paying jobs but she finally decided to bet on herself. In 2014, Emily started a business even though she was $120k in debt after moving to London. What happened next though was improbable, to say the least. Emily would go from making $442 in her first month of business to over $1 Million within the first 18 months. Now Emily has her own book, runs a successful coaching business on several fronts (master classes, group programs, 1:1 consulting, VIP day trips, etc), and even hosts a podcast.

| How to Level Up in Your Career | 27 Apr 2022 | 00:33:01 | |
In this episode, Cody interviews Justin on how he has navigated corporate moves both internally and externally. We’ll talk about how you can find those better opportunities from an inbound and outbound method. These can be within your current company or swapping companies altogether. A big piece of this is filtering and comparing opportunities. In many jobs, the compensation isn’t just one simple number. You need to think about base pay, variable, equity, 401k, health insurance, etc, etc. No need to worry though, the guys break this all down in a very simple systematic way. There will also be tactical tips such as how to set up your LinkedIn so that you’re not missing great opportunities. We hope this helps you land that new role or position to increase your happiness and your bank account!

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.

Jabbar was obsessed with basketball and poured all of his attention there, the only problem was he wasn’t even getting to play.

While we believe Dave Ramsey has been a great gateway for a lot of people, there’s a ton we just can’t agree with. “Save 15%, never use credit cards, pay off all debt before investing”….these are just too prescriptive and not very optimal mathematically. We know there’s a lot of Ramsey believers out there, and we welcome your feedback to this episode. If you’re unfamiliar with the Baby Steps, here’s a quick overview:

| Your Guide to Stock-Based Compensation | Brian Feroldi | 22 May 2024 | ||
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. If you found this episode helpful, please share it with a friend!
