Today's episode is something TRULY special— something that's never happened before!

For the first time ever… we're joined by two remarkable women who've lived alongside one of the most influential voices in the FI community, JL Collins. In this one-of-a-kind episode we introduce you to his wife, Jane Collins and daughter, Jessica Collins. This is their first-ever joint podcast appearance. We're pulling back the curtain to hear their perspectives. What was it like living with someone so passionate about financial independence? How did his philosophy shape their lives, their choices, and their own views on wealth and freedom? This isn't just a conversation about finance—it's about family, legacy, and the ripple effects of good financial education in a household. You're about to hear a side of the story that's never been told before.

The Adopt-A-Nation-Elder Food Runs are the heart of the organizations program and community. Twice a year they travel to the reservation in service to the Elders whose lives, culture and traditions they cherish. Because of the trust built between the Elders and their families, the staff and volunteers are allowed to travel to the Elders remote homelands and distribute assistance directly to the Elders in their communities. The Food Runs involve hundreds of volunteers transporting hundreds of thousand pounds of food and supplies to the most remote lands in the United State.
