| 0:15.6 | Welcome to the Invest Like a Boss podcast. |
| 0:17.8 | I'm Sam Martz, and I'm Johnny FD. |
| 0:19.7 | We're self-made entrepreneurs who invest our own money and use modern technology to invest like a boss. Join us each week for exclusive interviews with our network of modern investors, business owners, and multi-millionaires to discover new ways to invest our hard-earned cash. Hey guys. It's Johnny and welcome to episode 54 in Investabod's podcast. Back here, Sam Marks. |
| 0:38.6 | Johnny, good to be sitting next to you again, buddy. |
| 0:40.6 | Another episode from Barcelona. |
| 0:42.3 | And this week we have on Todd Tresider of Financial Mentor.com. |
| 0:47.1 | Yeah, his slogan is invest smart, build wealth, retire early, and live free. |
| 0:52.7 | And I think that is what we are all about, right? Yeah, definitely. I've |
| 0:56.9 | recently heard a new term called fire. And it's, what does it stand for? It stands for financial |
| 1:03.3 | independence and retire early. And that's what Todd is all about. That's what we're all about. |
| 1:07.7 | And of course, a whole generation of people trying to achieve that goal and that end. |
| 1:13.8 | And Todd wrote an article called How Anyone Can Retire in Ten Years or Less, which is a mathematical model based on that exact science. |
| 1:22.4 | So, and the other thing that the release took out from what he teaches is instead of having to spend less |
| 1:28.0 | save more model that most financial bloggers or financial gurus preach, he advocates being |
| 1:35.2 | the millionaire next door, enjoying your life, maybe not splurging and wasting it, but making |
| 1:41.7 | more money and losing less of it, that way you can retire early and still enjoy a good life. Yeah, definitely. And Todd's done a ton in finance. He's a published author. He retired at 35. He's run a hedge fund. I think we can ask him just about any question in finance. He's going to have a good answer. So I'm excited to get him on the show. Let's do it. Here's Todd. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. Todd, welcome to the show. Thanks, Sam. Thanks for having me on the show. Man, Todd, since you verbally confirmed to coming on the show, I have seen your name everywhere in cyberspace. I feel like I'm almost being retargeted by financial mentor content, but it's not. It's just you're quoted in so many different places in the financial world. I think I was reading up one today that your name popped up in Investopedia. So this is going to be a lot of fun and you know, it's just really good to have you on the show. I appreciate it. Oh, thanks. I had no idea I was showing up that much, but I'm glad to hear it. |
| 2:34.6 | This gets bigger and bigger in the blogosphere, I suppose. And, you know, going back into some of |
