Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, a show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge, skills, insight, and encouragement you need, live a rich and meaningful life now,

My name is Joshua Sheets, I am your host and on today's show I am thrilled to have a

guest that I have been excited to talk to ever since I first came across your work.

Mr Stanley Schmidt, welcome to Radical Personal Finance.

Thank you. So I'd like to tell you and the listeners how I discovered your work because this will I think get our

conversation started today on the right foot. I was unfamiliar with anything that

you had done a couple of years ago.

Then I was out looking around the internet

and I was looking for personal finance curricula.

I was trying to see what personal finance options might be available to teach

personal finance to children to adolescents to school-age children. This is my

part-time hobby and I had seen some of the things that were out there but didn't really like many of them.

And as I was wandering around the web searching for personal finance curriculum,

I stumbled across your website and I found the sales materials that you have available

for Life of Fred Financial Choices.

And on your website you offer kind of an introduction and one chapter and as well as a full

table of contents for each of your books.

And I started reading through your table of contents for your financial choices book.

And I said, wait a second.

All my life, I have been reading personal finance books.

All my life, literally.
