I really enjoyed listening to this podcast episode "Adventures in Entrepreneurship with Brad Barrett from Choose FI". Brad Barrett shared some insightful tips and stories about his journey as an entrepreneur and how he achieved financial independence. I liked how he was honest, humble, and passionate about his work and his mission to help others. I learned a lot from this episode, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in entrepreneurship or personal finance.
Great episode, and thanks for sharing. Visiting Canada in the summer is part of my “Chasing 75 Degrees” strategy. Canada is a great place to visit with amazing scenery and super friendly people. We also liked the relative safety of Canada when traveling with our kids, even in the larger cities. Maybe Nova Scotia and the Maritimes next summer?? You are creating amazing memories with your family…..congratulations!
