Summary

#100: Over a year-and-a-half and two million plus downloads later, the Afford Anything podcast has hit another awesome milestone: the 100th episode! To celebrate, I recorded this one live from Ecuador with my good friend Brandon, otherwise known as the Mad FIentist. If you've been a listener since the early days, you may remember Brandon from episode #7. He was the first guest to appear on the podcast, and I'm thrilled to have him back on for round two! In this episode, we focus on life after financial freedom: What projects has Brandon been working on? What are the biggest lessons he's learned from being FI so far? How does he maintain motivation to get things done now that money isn't an issue? What does a typical day look like for Brandon? How Brandon's wife became a FIentist after some initial resistance. Why full-time travel after FI didn't work out for him and more! Enjoy, and thanks for listening! For show notes, go to http://affordanything.com/episode100 Learn more about your ad choices.
