Plenty of podcasts focus on building wealth – and that's great, as far as it goes. But focusing just on wealth misses the point. I believe what most of us actually want is to have choice. Choice in how much time we give to income-producing activities. Choice about what those income-producing activities are. Choice about where we live. Choice about when we retire. Choice about the ways we use our m... more

  • Partly written by AI and it’s showing

    I can’t put my finger on it, but something about the way the introduction is generic rather than human, it sounds like it’s written by AI. Nothing wrong with it but just thought I’d flag it that it’s the human take that makes things interesting, compared to, the other extreme of devolving into A.I. slop where we say a lot but it’s so generic that it’s nothing that hasn’t been said before and it’s everything we already know, don’t do it! Otherwise, great information.
