The Mindful FIRE Podcast

Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond.On today's episode, we’re diving into Part 2 of my conversation with FIREy Philanthropist, our first anonymous guest. FIREy Philanthropist wanted to remain anonymous because they practice stealth wealth, which means they don't tell their neighbors, friends, and really anyone outside of a close group of friends that they're rich and have retired early.Today, in Part 2, FIREy and I discuss some of the specific money and finance strategies he took to speed up his path to financial independence retire early (FIRE). Below are a list of articles that FIREy shared, which go into the concepts in more detail. Make sure to do your own research and consult financial professionals you work with.In Part 1, we learned about FIREy Philanthropist’s journey to reaching Financial Independence (FI) and retiring in his early forties from a career in tech. We hear the mindsets that helped him get there and what he’s been up to in the world of philanthropy since retiring.In today's conversation we discuss:The money moves FIREy Philanthropist used to speed his path to FIREThe mega backdoor Roth explainedFIREy’s thoughts on holding the stock given to you by your companyWhy was designing your home important to you and how did you make that happen?Donor Advised Fund (DAF) as a powerful tool for philanthropy that saves taxesPotential tax advantages to of donating money to a non profit using a DAFInteresting ways to minimize capital gainsWhat piece of advice would he would give to somebody early on their path to financial independenceWhat piece of advice would you give to someone getting started with meditation or mindfulnessHow you can contact FIREy with your questions on FIRE (StealthyFIRE@outlook.comI really enjoyed this conversation with fiery philanthropists and I learned so much about the ins and outs of financial independence, how to know when you're at the point where it's okay to retire early and to feel confident in that decision.Connect with FIREy PhilanthropistEmail questions to StealthyFIRE@outlook.comMore from The Mindful FIRE PodcastPS: Introducing the… 🔥 FIRE Starter Group Coaching Program Connect with your big vision for the next chapter of your life and start living it in 10 weeks or less using envisioning and the power of your mind.

With so much going on in the world right now, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Each and every one of us is affected by what’s happening.Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond.Today’s meditation is a practice of creating space in our lives. We practice cultivating a space of refuge in our busy lives amidst all the challenging and difficult things happening in our world. In this space of refuge we can just leave everything at the door and just be with ourselves in this moment.We begin this meditation by intentionally leaving everything at the door and we connect with how you are feeling in this moment in your body, mind and heart.After some time resting in this space of refuge we transition into some loving kindness, compassion practice for ourselves, those affected by the recent gun violence and then all beings.I hope you find it helpful.

We’d love for you to join us live for a short meditation and time to connect and ask questions.
