I wanted the first podcast episode of 2020 to be special. So I upgraded my equipment for an enhanced audio experience, flew to New York City and invited back on the show a listener-favorite. Joseph Wells' first appearance, Buying Time-Freedom Before the 4% Rule with Joseph C. Wells, was very popular.
Since having Joe on in early 2019, he has become a prolific writer, developed an app called Blogcastr and was accepted into the Write of Passage Fellowship. Not to mention he's completed a half-Iron Man and written a guest post for ManOverseas.com. How to Become the Richest Man in Babylon BY GUEST WRITER JOSEPH WELLS, is an excellent summary of the first book I read after finishing school—the book completely changed the way I think about money.
In this episode, I ask Joe about being robbed at gunpoint, we dive deeper into topics previously discussed and each of us shares how we would invest $10,000 tomorrow. (Disclaimer: Every person's financial situation is different—do not make important investment decisions based on a Man Overseas podcast episode.) We also talk about two great articles written by our favorite online writer, Morgan Housel. The Degrees of Confidence & The Advantage of Being a Little Underemployed.
Topics we discuss:
The story of Getting Robbed at Gunpoint
Online people he's met
Upside of social media
Importance of physical fitness
Benefits of writing online
Doing what you love
Obtaining financial freedom
