In this episode we chat JL Collins about his book ‘Pathfinders’ and the impact it has had on the financial independence movement. He shares stories from the book that highlight the diversity of paths to financial independence and the importance of adapting the principles to one’s own circumstances. But first, we discuss how JL caught the attention of comedian Hasan Minhaj and got him to write the foreword for Pathfinders.

JL goes on to emphasize the need to embrace failure and learn from mistakes along the journey to financial independence. We discuss the concept of quality of life and conclude with a cautionary tale about the dangers of living paycheck to paycheck, even with a high income.
