At FinCon this year, Brad and Jonathan watched the FI community grow from a dozen early adopters to over 500 people swapping stories about how they redesigned their lives around what matters most. This Friday Roundup spans multiple listener wins and tactical advice. The core theme: negotiation changes everything.
