I couldn't relate more to this guy. Working at home, kids knocking your door every hour, don't understanding you're still work when you stop for toilet or water... And precious tips about investments. I will need an advisor to apply these tips in Australia. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry to say, but this guest speaks so slowly and rambles so much that it was too painful to listen through the whole episode for me.
I'm from Great Falls, went to MSU, and we are the same age. That caught me quite off gaurd. Also, I realize I should probably have more achieved in life by now...probably not the intent of this podcast, but there it is.
