Episode 74: Big Picturing by Colin Wright of Exile Lifestyle (Money & Happiness: Where Your Self Worth & Self Esteem Come From?). A professional author and international speaker, Colin co-founded a publishing company, and travels full-time, moving to a new country every four months or so--that country determined by the votes of his readers! He also blogs. Colin's a minimalist in that he owns very few things and is careful in how he consumes. He tends to buy less, but invest in quality when he does, and trends toward the same in relationships, business endeavors, and just about everything else. He's left-handed, blue-eyed, scary good at Tetris, and can’t cook worth a damn. The original post is located here: http://exilelifestyle.com/big-picturing Please Rate & Review the Show!

Episode 70: How a Beggar in Grenada Uses Data to Optimize Donations by Ramit Sethi of IWTYTBR (Similar to Pareto's 80-20 Principle).

Since then, he's been testing and sharing his findings with the world via I Will Teach You To Be Rich. He's also written a New York Times bestselling book, been profiled in a 6-page Fortune article and pictured next to Warren Buffett Forbes Magazine, and have been featured by a long list of media, including the Wall Street Journal, ABC News, NPR, Fox Business, PBS, CNBC and more.
