| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome to the Financial Independence Podcast. The podcast that |
| 0:09.8 | gets inside the brains of some of the brightest people in personal finance to find out how |
| 0:13.7 | they achieved financial independence. Today I'm going to share with you a new kind of |
| 0:17.9 | financial independence podcast episode. As you know, I usually interview people about how |
| 0:22.8 | they achieved financial independence and what they learned along the way, but today I'm |
| 0:26.8 | going to share with you a podcast takeover. And the idea behind this is, I know I don't |
| 0:32.2 | really post that often and I do feel bad that I'm hardly ever giving you any content. And |
| 0:37.8 | I also, I'm not really paying attention to what's happening in the financial independence |
| 0:42.5 | retire early world these days because I'm not thinking about money as often as I was |
| 0:47.0 | in the past. So I know I'm missing a lot of great new podcasts and I want to share the |

| 1:13.0 | series where another podcast could create content that they think that mad scientist listeners |
| 1:18.5 | in particular would enjoy. And then I will publish it on my podcast as a podcast takeover |
| 1:24.0 | episode. So that's what we're doing today and I'm excited to introduce the mile high |
| 1:29.2 | five podcast, which may sound familiar to some of you because one of the hosts is actually |
| 1:35.0 | Mr. 1500 from 1500 days.com and Mr. 1500 has been on the financial independence podcast |
| 1:41.2 | quite a few times and the 10 years I've been doing this. So you may recognize his voice, |
| 1:46.0 | but his co-host Doug Cunnington is new to the show. And I just met Doug actually when |
| 1:52.0 | I was a guest on the mile high five podcast. I was going through Colorado and these guys |
