Well, after 170+ episodes of talk about purpose, porn, sexual performance, racial inequities, menstrual cycles and menopause, we finally decided to tackle “the last great taboo.”
MONEY.
It’s hard to believe, but this is in fact our very first money focused discussion on The Great Man Within Podcast.
But boy, do we have a doozy in store for you.
That’s because we have one of the most visible and respected leaders in the Financial Independence movement joining us today:
My old college buddy and Great Man Mastermind brother, Brad Barrett. More on him in a moment.
If you haven’t heard of the Financial Independence (or FI) movement, you’re missing out.
The FI movement is a global community of millions of ordinary citizens breaking free from financial drift, making intentional decisions with their money, and get this:
Within a period of 5 to 15 years…having so much money saved that they can choose whether or not they want to work ever again.
Members of the FI community are hitting independence in their 40s, 30s or even sometimes their 20s.
And most of these people are NOT extraordinary earners. Many of them are teachers, accountants, hair dressers, union workers or other typical middle class professions.
Sounds impossible, no?
Or at least must require some superhuman level of savings and deprivation – like downsizing your family to a one bedroom studio and allocating toilet paper square allotments.
Au contraie, my friends. It’s quite the opposite.
While achieving Financial Independence does require intentionality and discipline, it does not necessitate you giving up all of your life’s pleasures to become a frugal weirdo who eats brown bananas.
Instead, Brad Barrett will be teaching us how the choice to begin your journey to financial independence is not only exciting, it has the potential to become one of the most meaningful inner work experiences of your life.
And that, ultimately, leads to freedom.
