This week, we have a special guest: JL Collins, the Godfather of the Financial Independence movement. He’s here to talk about his new book, ‘Pathfinders’, where he shares the stories of people who have achieved financial freedom in different ways. He shows us that there is no one-size-fits-all formula for success, and that we have to find our own path based on our values, goals and circumstances. He also tells us why we should embrace failure as a learning opportunity, how he measures quality of life,  why we should all craft a unique life that aligns to our values, the importance of putting family first, and how he stays optimistic in a world full of uncertainty. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss, because JL Collins is not only our mentor and friend, but also one of the wisest and most generous people we know.
