Many times it's useful with financial planning to have a metaphor to apply to thinking through

what you need to do with your life and how to approach it, how to approach each and every

financial decision.

Well, one apt metaphor for that is chess. And today I've got Doug Goldstein, who is a co-author of the book,

Rich as a King, how the wisdom of chess can make you a grandmaster of investing.

And we're going to talk about taking a conceptual planning approach to your financial plan. Welcome to the Radical Personal Finance Podcast. My name is Joshua Sheets and I'm your host.
