Summary
I had the opportunity to connect with JD Roth, one of the most well-known personal finance bloggers in the industry while I was in Charlotte, NC at #FinCon15.
We had a great interview.
We talked in detail about JD's personal story with finance and how he set out to Get Rich Slowly--and wound up getting rich fast.
We also talk about the great things and not-so-great things that resulted from the journey!
Enjoy the interview!
