Summary
I've had a tough summer. I have nothing to complain about. I've been richly blessed and, in almost every way outside of Radical Personal Finance, life has been sweet. But, RPF hasn't been so great for me. And, if it hasn't been so great for me, it might not have been so great for you either.
I thought you might appreciate hearing the explanation and the story.
It's important to me to share the good and the bad--the heights and the lows--with you in order to help you understand that we all share common struggles and trials.
That said, I don't think it's helpful to talk about problems unless I can also suggest a solution. And, thankfully, I've worked out some solutions to my problems. So, now I'm ready to share the problems with you!
I've figured out what's wrong with Radical Personal Finance. And [I think] I've figured out how to fix it!
Here's the story...

| 0:00.0 | Today on the show, what's wrong with radical personal finance? |
| 0:05.0 | Or you could just say, what's wrong with me, Joshua Sheeds? And the Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, the show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge, |
| 0:29.6 | skills, insight and encouragement you need to live a rich and meaningful life now while |
| 0:34.3 | building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years or less. My name is Joshua and I am |
| 0:38.4 | your host. Today I am your co journeyman and perhaps out of the Vanguard trying to lead from the front |
| 0:46.5 | because I'll share with you about some of my successes and more importantly today |
| 0:49.7 | some of my failures. I've often joked here on the show that in many ways we shouldn't |
| 1:00.8 | spend so much time listening to successful people because they spend all of their time |
| 1:04.8 | talking about how successful they are and sometimes it's hard to relate. |
| 1:08.4 | And I've often joked that sometimes we should talk to failures. |
| 1:12.1 | If you just walk up to a failure and have some time with |
| 1:14.6 | them and say please tell me everything that you do and have done so that I can learn |
| 1:18.9 | what I don't want to do. Obviously it's hard to do that. It's challenging to get interviews with failures and it's even more challenging as an interviewer |
| 1:26.9 | I can't imagine ever saying to somebody, hi you're a failure please tell us about that. |
| 1:30.6 | Maybe there's a place for that at some point. So it's mainly just a joke, but I think there |
| 1:36.2 | is a lesson in that. And so on today's show, I'm just going to share with you, speak very personally |
| 1:42.3 | about some of my failures over especially the past months, but even |
| 1:46.8 | the past years. |
| 1:48.7 | And I don't know if this will solve any of your problems or not. I hope it will help |
| 1:55.1 | I think that it is helpful to hear people talk about what they're facing so that you feel like you're not all alone |
| 2:01.3 | But if you're looking for a particular technical |
