02:10 Congrats on the new book, Pete - how was it writing this one, compared with the first?
05:39 Why write this book NOW?
07:10 What isn’t in the book that you wish you’d included? Or probably more difficult to answer, is there something that (having completed the audiobook after writing) that you felt it didn’t need?
10:00 How difficult did you find setting out concepts without going too in depth to potentially “lose people” or too simple to make the book not interesting enough?
13:07 How different do you find it writing "evergreen" content in your books vs more topical content for YouTube, and to a lesser degree for the podcast?
16:20 After reading the New retirement book, will it provide knowledge to go alone in retirement without seeking expensive financial advice?
20:05 Does the book help with a ‘soft’ retirement or is it just for those that want to completely stop work on a particular date?
25:00 What will the book offer the reader that I can’t get elsewhere? Is it worth paying for the Academy if I read the book?
28:38 What’s the best thing you would tell your 20yo self?
31:03 Would you lobby government to have PROPER financial teaching delivered to kids in school? How would you package your knowledge for teenagers?
33:22 Pete talks about a new podcast - Bank of Dad - which daughter Kate will host.
35:25 A few people asked: What are Pete’s plans for retirement? Did ‘die with zero’ change them?
38:00 Pete talks about Dave Ramsey and how he brought in different personalities.
41:35 Pete talks about practicing what he preaches.
