599-Appreciating Our Rich and Peaceful Lives in the Midst of Political Turmoil
As many U.S. Americans engage in vigorous political debate today and follow with their vote, I want to share a story with you that I hope will help you to appreciate the richness of political peace. Not everyone in the world has it as good as you and I have it. But, as we vigorously debate political issues, it's easy to miss the blessing of the underlying framework of peace and prosperity that we enjoy.
Enjoy this personal story.

597-Debt-Freedom Leads to Career Freedom to Become a Financial Adviser: Interview with Matt Miner from Design Independence
On this episode we welcome Matt Miner back to the show. Matt previously came on the show to discuss whether going back to graduate school is a good financial move.
Since that interview, Matt left his corporate job and became a financial advisor!
In this interview we explore two themes:
- How good financial planning and preparation enables a move to a better career fit. This is an important component of a progressive plan towards financial freedom.
- How a personal finance aficionado can make a move towards working as a financial advisor without sacrificing their integrity.
Enjoy!
