Through the information provided on this podcast, we give you the ability to do this yourself. Why do we need to do this? Because every other media you’re going to engage in has a vested interest in capturing your mindshare, and in having you spend your surplus, rather than you caring for your financial future. Your financial future is inevitable and uncertain. The only question is, will you have a Good Life? No one has one by default, only by design.  Most of the financial podcasts out there can be valuable, though you will notice that many of them are from someone who is unlicensed.
