Amazing financial independence content for all, not just Denver :)
Writing this review because I’m shocked the average rating of this pod isn’t higher. Not sure why, as I love Doug’s style, topics, and guests. Content probably does skew more for people who are close to or at FI, but there are always nuggets for anyone interested in FIRE.
It is not everyone’s calling to do a podcast after retiring early. I had mile high hopes for this but it is just another self-admitted privileged white dude phoning it in. I fell for the topics and guests but the lack of thoughtful questions and blah “that’s interesting” responses and for an hour an episode?! WTF. This has to be the most uninspired FI podcast out there.
This episode was a little tough to listen to. The guest's voice was the issue.
Mile High FI is hands down one of my favorite podcasts. I’ve learned a lot, laughed a bunch, and even questioned my life choices somewhere between Carl’s one liners and Doug’s deep thoughts.
I do miss the Carl and Doug banter back and forth, it was was like financial broccoli and cheese. But happy to say Doug’s still killing it solo! Doug making the transition to podcast by himself is kind of like trying asparagus for the first time: Not sure what to think about it, but surprisingly satisfyin... more
