502-Pathways to Financial Freedom (in 10 years or less): RV Mechanic (and other small-scale, mobile trades)
Today we continue our discussion of how you can achieve financial freedom in 10 years or less with an analysis of a business I thought my way through recently: that of working as a mobile RV repairman/mechanic. I think this business (or skilled trades with similar career profiles) has a huge amount to offer the aspiring financial freedom fighter. Listen to today's show for analysis on the specifics of this opportunity and the parallels you can draw to other careers to help you become financially independent in 10 years or less.

501-Joshua's Thoughts and Advice On How Men Can Protect Themselves, Their Families, and Their Careers from Being Destroyed by Sexual Scandal
I've had today's show in my head for the last few weeks as I've watched Hollywood--and the world--rocked day by day with allegation after allegation of sexual abuse by major, major stars. I've watched careers destroyed, movie premiers canceled, and marriages torn asunder. I've thought again and again about the financial destruction being wrought by these allegations against so many men. Not only the loss of careers, the mega-million-dollar settlements, but the financial destruction of forthcoming divorces and the emotional distress leading to lost productivity. To me, it seemed like an important topic to discuss with regard to finances. But I held back, because I felt as though I would be picking on ideological opponents when they're down and I don't want to be one who rejoices in another's time of distress. Until yesterday. When the allegations came out via the Washington Post against Judge Roy Moore in Alabama, I felt I couldn't stay silent any longer. And so, today, here are my thoughts on how men can protect themselves from sexual scandal. Joshua
