0:05.0	Hey, everybody to the Financial Independence Podcast, the podcast where I interview some of the
0:10.4	best and brightest in the personal finance space to find out how they're pursuing financial
0:13.7	independence.
0:14.7	It's the last episode of the year and I can't believe it but I actually lived up to my promise.
