  <description>&lt;p&gt;JL Collins is revered as the 'Godfather of Financial Independence', a distinguished personality and educator in the realm of personal finance. Join us for a very special episode as he unveils his eagerly awaited book: 'Pathfinders: Extraordinary Stories of People Like You on the Quest for Financial Independence - And How to Join Them.'&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this enlightening conversation, we delve into the inspiration and process behind the book, which features more than 100 stories from contributors living all across the world. We discuss some of the personal finance community's most beloved (ahem, beaten down) topics - from the 4% rule to scrutinizing the S&amp;amp;P 500. But what makes this conversation truly exceptional is JL's talent for simplifying complex financial concepts and sharing them so eloquently.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cheers to each and every one of us on our very own twisty, turny, beautiful….simple path to wealth!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can find JL’s newest book everywhere you shop, including &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pathfinders-Extraordinary-Stories-Financial-Independence_And/dp/180409000X" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>We are kicking off the relaunch of Pitchcast with guest and entrepreneur Kaley Medina! When her first child was born, Kaley launched a pediatric and adult sleep coaching agency, [Live Love Sleep](https://www.livelovesleep.com/), that has grown to include 10 consultants across the U.S. She left her career in the oil and gas industry in 2020, and has budgeted her way to financial independence since then. She's paid off her mortgage and in three more years, expects to have enough to live on comfortably, allowing her husband to transition to work with their company full time. Kaley walks us through the journey, how her and her husband merged money philosophies, what she'd do differently when starting a business, how much to have on hand when departing the corporate world, and how she's mentally adjusted to the freedom of entrepreneurship. Thank you, Kaley!</itunes:subtitle>
