This podcast doesn't just bring you new ideas; it motivates you to take action. Learn about the pillars of FI (financial independence), including house hacking, travel/credit card rewards, and maximizing your savings rate. Brad and Jonathan advocate making small changes to gradually optimize your life. If you make one change each week to make your life just 1% better, think how far you'll have come in a year. Thanks to compound interest, it's not just 52% better. :) Thanks to this podcast I've maxed out my HSA, started contributing to my 457 account, and bumped my savings rate up to 45%. Since they motivated me to take action each week I've also started making my bed every morning, meditating each day using Headspace, and reaching out to build authentic connections. It's not just about crushing your finances--it's about building a fulfilling, happy life and a lasting legacy.

I have been listening to ChooseFI for the past 6 months and have recently finished listening to all the episodes. Episode 113 with Grant Sabatier was especially inspirational for me. Being a stay-at-home mom for the past 5 years, I have recently completed my Bachelor's Degree and have been thinking about how to jump start my career after this hiatus. The tips offered by Grant about networking and forming real relationships with the right people motivated me to find local financial planners who might be able to offers words of wisdom and insights into this career path. My 10-year plan includes interning and then eventually owning my own business, taking a holistic approach to financial planning and ensuring my clients' best interests are served. This podcast highlights not only financial advice, but great life advice, taking a holistic approach to finances. It was the inspiration for my goal to own my own business. Brad and Jonathan do a wonderful job incorporating feedback from listeners and I take away something from every episode. Thank you for all your hard work!
