Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, a show dedicated to providing you with knowledge, skills, insight, and encouragement you need to live a rich and meaningful life now while building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years or less.

I have got a great show for you today. Today I am going to teach you how to read a book.

This could be your key to financial freedom in 10 years or less.

When we think of that old aphorism, give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day, teach

a man to fish and he'll have food for a lifetime.

That applies best in this area more than anything because I'm going to teach you how to achieve your goals and solve your problems even if you don't have somebody close to you to help you somebody close to you to you to you to mentor you. For the first five minutes

I'm going to try to change your view of reading. Between minutes five to ten

I'm going to give you some ideas about books and reading that I think will
