  • 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.

  • Highly recommend

    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.

  • Best podcast I’ve found!

    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.

  • Free Yourself!

    Jake reads and studies topics ranging from entrepreneurship, minimalism, slow travel, secularism, skepticism, productivity systems, and parenting. He applies his impressive brain power, distilled his ideas, and shares them here with you in this podcast, in a personable, articulate, logically-argued, unapologetic disposition. I've taken many book recommendations from Jake that have improved my life. Unless you're a close-minded religious zealot who protects his worldview with fury, or unwittingl... more

  • What a wonderful find!

    A+. I'm not exactly sure how I learned of this podcast, but glad I did. As I'm pondering what to do with the next stage of my work life (okay, life in general!), Jake's podcast came along. What I enjoy most about it is that Jake covers LOTS of territory and moves seamlessly from ideas and resources about retirement to lifelong learning to philosophy to books to investing to ____. I normally wouldn't expect such a variety to fit well into a single podcast, but Jakes casual, yet highly intell... more
