  • Summary

  • Today, we have JL Collins on the podcast, a best-selling author and Financial Independence blogger.

    JL’s first book, The Simple Path to Wealth: Your Road Map to Financial Independence and a Rich, Free Life, was published in 2016 and has become something of a bible for people in the financial independence movement.

    He joined me today to discuss his new book: Pathfinders: Extraordinary Stories of People Like You on the Quest for Financial Independence.

    We talk about financial independence theoretically, but more, we talk about stories of JL’s readers who’ve written to him or called him to tell him their story.

    People who’ve shared how his lessons on financial independence have changed their lives and from that, my friends, I hope there are lessons that can change your lives
