GOALS on FIRE #72 JL Collins on investing, Pathfinders and staying the course with life's values

Today I'm honored to welcome JL Collins 🚀 to our podcast to discuss many interesting topics that include simplifying investing in this complex world, the value of family and generational wealth, the resilience in investing and life and what the future might bring for the FIRE movement. I'm happy that my story, and through it a story of many Ukrainians fighting for the freedom today, made it to JL's new book “Pathfinders” and our conversation with JL has covered a lot of ground on many valuable topics. Please enjoy it, share the video with your friends and family, and make sure to leave your comments and feedback below.
