Mile High FI Podcast

Doc G (Jordan Grumet) stopped by the MMM HQ to talk about the launch of his book, Taking Stock. We talk about how money is just a tool and actually the easier part of the early retirement equation. We also discussed how to think about the other tools available to you when you're just starting out on a journey to FI, and how to find your identity outside of a profession.   Check Out Jordan's Book!

We catch up with 3 people from Get Smart with Money (on Netflix) about the documentary, why they did it, and what they learned.
