Today's episode features Kyle Nolan, creator of Projection Lab. Kyle already had the skills to develop web-based applications when he discovered the world of financial independence. What he didn't have and couldn't find was a financial planning tool that felt modern, flexible, and engaging. So he just decided to build his own! Projection Lab allows you to create beautiful and nuanced financial plans that truly represent you, your loved ones, and the paths you choose. You get to run Monte Carlo simulations, backtest on historical data, and figure out how to live your best life and reduce anxiety around your finances. I can't over-emphasize the word robust here.
