What helps you reach financial independence earlier, and what do you only learn once you're there?
In this episode, I'm joined by Kyle Prevost, founder of the Canadian Financial Summit, for a fireside chat about what helped us reach our financial independence numbers and what we've learned since.

Between the Canadian Financial Summit and the Build Wealth Canada podcast, we've interviewed hundreds of financial experts over the past decade. We've also been putting our own plans into practice. This time, we're bringing those experiences together to share lessons you can consider on your own journey towards financial independence and early retirement in Canada.
We discuss:
- How Kyle reached financial independence at an early age and what his life looks like today.
- The advice we'd give our younger selves about investing and personal finance.
- The key decisions that helped us reach financial independence.
- What surprised us after hitting our numbers, and the lessons we've learned since.
My hope is that this conversation gives you some useful ideas for your own journey and helps you think through what you want life to look like when work becomes optional.
Kyle has written for The Globe and Mail, MoneySense, Canadian MoneySaver, and the Financial Post. You can also find his work at Million Dollar Journey.
