- Thank you
Like your podcast. I think you misunderstand Ray Dalio in 396. I think he really is being radically transparent because he might be that radically shallow and lack circumspection. I don’t know that being a tycoon and living out deep convictions are related...Enter WJC, BHO, Trump.

Very thoughtful and informative on a number of subjects...parenting, entrepreneurship, and financial independence. I just finished listening to Jake’s “Becoming an Entrepreneur” which I purchased on Audible and I was not disappointed. I particularly enjoyed his thoughts on the difference between an employee and an owner mindset. I am now reading David Allen’s “Getting Things Done,” based on Jake’s recommendation. Everything Jake does really thought provoking and insightful.

I found this podcast after hearing his interview on the one free family podcast. This podcast is my absolute favorite podcast I’ve ever listened to. The content, and his voice are just easy to listen to. He gives me hope in this world as I’m raising my daughter against the typical grain.
