Radical Personal Finance

Many people are far too free with their personal financial information. This can be very dangerous. You cannot expect your financial advisor to keep your personal information private, secret, and secure. You've got to take steps to protect yourself. Joshua

I'm not sure how to explain this one to you via text...perhaps it's just better if you hit play and listen! :) Joshua

I'm a big fan of Cal Newport's work and I stumbled across this TEDx talk that he gave on the topic of social media. Consider his points and see how they might relate to your personal social media usage. It'd be a shame to look back at the end of the year and recognize an alternative use for the hundreds of hours that most of us use in social media activities. Always think about the opportunity cost... Joshua Original video: https://youtu.be/3E7hkPZ-HTk

Hey Radicals! Today's show is a little audio ramble among friends to tell you that my wife and I are celebrating the birth of a new little baby boy! (I also tell you about my 3-year-old's first successful investment...and his 100% ROR!) Joshua Episode 212: Comments on Preparing for Child Birth with Mrs. RPF

Rounding out our theme this week of how to survive and thrive during police encounters so that you are not arrested and imprisoned, I bring you an important video by the Flex Your Rights organization. This one is best viewed as a video and is available for free here: https://youtu.be/s4nQ_mFJV4I It contains dramatic presentations and acting and is really well done. I recommend that you don't listen to the audio file here; I recommend you make the time to watch the video yourself, then again with your spouse and children. However, I find that it's hard to make the time to watch videos, so I'm posting the audio here for you to at least listen to. You'll gain a lot from simply listening to the audio. But, again, if you can make the time, stop listening and go watch it: https://youtu.be/s4nQ_mFJV4I

This is the audio from a presentation at the CATO Institute by Law Professors James Duane and Randy Barnett. (original video: https://youtu.be/gpkc2FZFR5k) It is a follow up of the concepts outlined in James Duane's excellent book "You Have the Right to Remain Innocent." There is very little additional value from watching the video file, so enjoy the audio and you'll get the most important points. Buy James Duane's book "You Have the Right to Remain Innocent" http://amzn.to/2qgDFDF

I urge you to make the time to listen to this presentation about why you should not talk to the police, no matter your guilt or innocence in any matter. This is an audio presentation of this YouTube speech (viewed over 23 million times wherein Regent Law Professor James Duane gives viewers startling reasons why they should always exercise their 5th Amendment rights when questioned by government officials: https://youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE (There is very little added value in the video presentation, so you'll gain the bulk of the knowledge by listening exclusively to the audio.) Also, you should buy and read the $5 book that Professor Duane wrote to follow up to this speech: "You Have the Right to Remain Innocent." (highly recommended) http://amzn.to/2qgDFDF

If you get arrested, you can kiss anywhere from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars good-bye. You need insurance against that eventuality. Today, I'm going to teach you why it's vitally important that you arrest-proof yourself and how to do it.

My guest today is Dr. Marilyn Brodeur, founder of the Infant Dental Center in Corpus Christi, Texas. Marilyn reached out to me after hearing my response to a caller in Episode 417 who was struggling with a decision of whether to pursue her career aspirations or to focus her attention on her children. So, I invited her on the store to share her story about how she has built a successful business that allows her a great deal of flexibility and capitalizes on her skills and ability. Enjoy!
