Stories woven throughout highlight practical steps and decisions that have led him and his family to their current state of financial security. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community, accountability, and maintaining a balance between work and personal fulfillment. Both Brad and Jonathan explore personal growth and health as they consider their future goals, specifically focusing on the value of making choices that optimize their lives and the lives of their children.

In this episode: the value of time, what are you optimizing for, bold moves, increasing your kid's odds for success, and balancing deprivation.
