011 | Welcome To The Hot Seat

Most people think getting your financial life together means grinding until 65 and hoping you saved enough. Brad and Jonathan flip that script: you can control your life by your 30s if you stop repeating the same expensive mistakes everyone else makes. In this episode, they launch the Hot Seat segment — a new format designed to skip the typical guest background rehash and instead dive into the most cutting-edge articles and ideas from upcoming FI heavy-hitters like Mad Fientist, Millennial Revolution, Chad Carson, and Mr. 1500. The goal: extract insights you won't hear on other podcasts. They also share their own financial screw-ups, favorite blogs, and practical life hacks that free up time and money (spoiler: cutting cable and using a password manager are just the start). The conversation wraps with a challenge to listeners: what will you do with your time when you achieve financial independence?
