About this episode
Cody wrote a book!
That's right, the secret is out, and you're getting all the details here, folks.
Retire by 30 is a guide to reaching financial independence as fast as possible.
In this episode, Justin gets to pepper Cody with questions about the book, including:
Why was Cody living the American Nightmare rather than the American Dream
What it felt like to hear that he was "a waste of time and resources."
What did saving 80% really look like
Did he ever struggle to know what he actually valued versus what he'd been conditioned to want?
How to decide when to kill a hustle versus double down?
How to choose between the "be an intrapreneur and negotiate raises" path vs. the "quit and side-hustle" path
What it felt like to hit FI at 25
Which FI is most underrated— Coast FI, Barista FI, Lean FI, Cash Flow FI, etc. Which
What was most surprising once money was no longer the forcing function in life?
What is it that he wants readers to feel after closing this book
What's next for Cody
And much more!
