When I began podcasting, I was looking for information and advice. Although I found some good, there was a real paucity of advice from people who had done something like I wanted to do. I've been satisfied with a lot of the progress that I've made with Radical Personal Finance, and I want to give back to the podcast and community. So, in today's show we do not discuss personal finance or money at all. Rather, this show is all about podcasting. It's simply contains the lessons I have learned about podcasting and commentary on the things that have worked and the things that have not worked. I hope this content is useful to you. And I hope that many of you will go out and start your own podcast. Joshua

I've long admired Jack Spirko and his show "The Survival Podcast" as a voice of reason in an industry fueled by hyperbole and fear. He does a great job of teaching people how to systematically build a lifestyle of resilience and freedom. And, most important, he teaches that everything you do to build a prepared life should make your life better if times get tough...or even if they don't. Enjoy the interview! Joshua

Can a hobby of writing about personal finance lead to becoming financially independent in a very short time? It did for Jim Wang, my guest on today's show. Jim founded the site Bargaineering as a part-time hobby. It quickly became a leading voice in the world of personal finance websites. Ultimately, it led to Jim's becoming financially independent in a shockingly short amount of time. In today's interview, we seek to go behind the story a bit. To learn about the personal story and lessons learned from Jim's experiences. He has a lot to share that's very applicable to all of our lives. Enjoy! Joshua

My guest today is Ann Barnhardt. I first became aware of Ann in late 2011 after she published a letter detailing the closure of her firm, Barnhardt Capital Management. At the time, this letter troubled me. Many people make strong statements and publish strongly worded essays. But when someone follows through on their word to the point of closing a functioning firm, I pay attention. I never could quite wrap my head around what happened at MF Global in 2011. Frankly, I still can't. But I thought it would be awesome to invite Ann on the show to hear her first-hand experience. She obliged. During the course of our interview we discussed:

Over the weekend, I was reading the book "unWorking: Exit the Rat Race, Live Like a Millionaire, And Be Happy Now" by Clark Vandeventer while sitting in a tire repair shop, waiting for my tire to be patched. When I came to this page, I stopped. And then I had an epiphany. When you're very, very clear on what you want, it's simple and easy to decide what to do. But when you don't know what you want, it's almost impossible to decide what to do. So, do you know what you want? Enjoy the show! Joshua

A lot of people in our modern society are very focused on saving for a comfortable retirement. But many people simply aren't going to be able to retire and comfort. I think it's a real mistake to focus first on retiring comfortably if we haven't first made a plan for working comfortably. And today show I'd like to share with you a formula for building a comfortable work life. I believe this is a formula that you can use to assess your current work situation and either appreciate all of the good things about it or make a plan to correct the bad things. Take the concepts in today show and seriously consider your present work situation. Focus on working comfortably first and then, maybe, you'll never even bother with the whole idea of retirement!

What makes a bigger difference on your financial outcome: the behavior of your investments or the behavior of you, the investor? Today I have an awesome interview for you with Carl Richards, author of "The Behavior Gap: Simple Ways to Stop Doing Dumb Things with Money" and "The One-Page Financial Plan: A Simple Way to Be Smart About Your Money."

This weekend a friend of mine asked me for my input on whether they should continue renting their townhome or buy an equivalent unit. It's almost the perfect, real-life case study to consider:
I seized the opportunity to talk it through and run the numbers. Enjoy! Joshua |
