On this episode of Rhodes to Success, I interview Todd Tresidder, who has been a serial entrepreneur since childhood. He went on to build his own wealth as a hedge fund investment manager before retiring at age 35 to teach others. Today Todd provides advanced investment retirement planning education at Financial Mentor.com, showing you what works and what doesn’t based on a depth of proven experience. He is the author of five financial planning books, including How Much Money Do I Need to Retire?, Don’t Hire a Financial Coach, and Variable Annuity Pros and Cons. During the show, we discuss unconventional insights into wealth building.
“Happiness is connected to goal-oriented activity that is grounded in your personal values.”

Podcast Guest Interviews
- The podcast interview is like a guest post on steroids.
- The relationship as a podcast guest is deep, as you are an implied expert.
- There is a relationship with the host, and the audience is listening to your voice for 30 minutes as opposed to scanning a post for 30 seconds.
