| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Choosify. I'm your host Brad Barrett, and if you're new to the show, |
| 0:04.8 | welcome to the largest financial independence community in the world. Our show and community |
| 0:09.0 | have existed for nearly seven years, and we're so happy you found us. We call Choosify the ultimate |
| 0:14.6 | crowdsourced personal finance show. And the entire point of this podcast is to harness the collective |
| 0:19.5 | wisdom of our entire community. And what's fun with today's episode is I have my good friend, |
| 0:25.0 | Katie, on to help me with our second monthly roundup episode of the major takeaways we had |
| 0:29.9 | from the three episodes that we published here in August. And what makes this the collective wisdom |

| 1:27.2 | marinate and sink in so we can do something with them. So I'm excited to chat through the best |
| 1:31.7 | the gold that was dropped in the last three episodes. Yeah, I appreciate that. And I think it's |
| 1:37.7 | one of those things we used to, as you well know from the beginning of the podcast, we used to do |
| 1:41.8 | those Friday roundups. So we used to publish a Monday episode and then do those takeaways plus |
| 1:46.9 | some other little odds and ends every Friday. And I feel like that really did consolidate it. |
| 1:52.1 | But honestly, we went away from them, as you well know. And I think having this monthly roundup |
