To celebrate the release of JL Collins' new book, Pathfinders, I collected all the best advice from his Financial Independence Podcast interviews!
Jim has been on the show three times:
- First, back in 2012 (he was my second guest ever!)
- Second, when his hit book, The Simple Path to Wealth, was released
- Third, during the depths of the Coronavirus crash
That last interview may be my proudest moment as the Mad Fientist (I explain why during the show).
Hope you enjoy this jam-packed episode!
