Hello, wine average. My name is Jesse Meakum and this is podcast number 491 for wine

0:08.9

average where we teach you four rules to help you stop the paycheck to paycheck, get

0:12.1

out of debt and save more money. Today I talk with Noah Kagan. He's, I've known Noah

0:17.2

for a long time. We've just kind of crossed paths every once in a while. And he was the number

0:22.2

30 employee at Facebook, worked directly for Mark Zuckerberg. So that's pretty interesting.

0:27.5

Though he was the number four employee at our beloved friends mint.com back when they

0:33.2

launched. And that was back when Wineb was narrated thing. And we chat quite a bit about

0:37.9

that. Noah has an interesting approach to something that we don't talk a lot about on this

1:19.6

that just the idea of goal setting priorities and the one year bucket list is another nice

1:24.0

way of framing it. So we're also doing something new that I've never done on on the podcast

1:30.0

or on our Wineb YouTube channel or we're cross posting this on Noah's YouTube channel.

1:35.4

And that is that we're giving away what we I say Noah. Noah's he's giving away on iPad.

1:40.9

So if you subscribe to our channel, subscribe to Noah's channel and then leave a comment

1:44.7

and we will randomly pick a commenter to get an iPad. And Noah gives stuff away like
