In this episode, we sit down with Manni Mistry to explore his path to Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) and how he has optimized his portfolio for long-term success. Manni shares his experience transitioning from traditional stock picking to a carefully curated dividend portfolio that will soon support his lifestyle and early retirement. We discuss the strategies that helped him along the way, as well as the balance between income and growth.

Tune in as we cover:

• A reflection on an email received from CanadianDGI with his personal story on high-yield dividend investing
• Manni’s investing journey and his transition to a dividend-focused portfolio with less than 20 holdings
• How he structures his portfolio for financial independence
• Listener questions on investment strategies, stock picks, and more

We also dive into a fun rapid-fire round and hear Manni's thoughts about a stock pick of the week!
