Description

To celebrate the release of JL Collins' new book, Pathfinders, I collected all the best advice from his Financial Independence Podcast interviews!
 
Jim has been on the show three times:
 
  • First, back in 2012 (he was my second guest ever!)
  • Second, when his hit book, The Simple Path to Wealth, was released
  • Third, during the depths of the Coronavirus crash
 
That last interview may be my proudest moment as the Mad Fientist (I explain why during the show).
 
Hope you enjoy this jam-packed episode!
