At 21, Cody Berman appeared on ChooseFI as a college student discovering financial independence. Three years later, he retired at 26. Now 30 with a $5 million net worth, he's back to reveal exactly how he compressed a decades-long journey into a three-year sprint—and why the same principles work whether you're 25 or 55. The Journey from 22 to FI at 26 00:05:30 Cody's path to financial independence was methodical and aggressive. Between ages 22 and 25, he experimented with over 20 side hustles, scaling his income from $96K to more than $400K annually. The key? He kept expenses locked at just $24K per year—creating a massive gap of $625K over three years. That gap fueled three wealth-building engines: $500K in stock market investments (VOO, VTSAX, VTI) 13 rental properties generating $3,700/month in passive income Digital products businesses producing $10K/month By his 26th birthday, Cody had achieved "cashflow FI"—his passive income streams covered living expenses without touching his investment portfolio. The Psychology of Financial Independence 00:18:00 Brad and Cody explore why some people achieve FI while others with similar incomes stay stuck. The answer isn't math—it's psychology and awareness. Cody attributes his success to having a clear destination. When you know exactly where you're going and why it matters, spending $100 on something that doesn't serve that destination becomes harder than saying no. The infamous "second marshmallow" experiment demonstrates this: delaying gratification becomes easier when you're aware of what you're trading for. As Cody puts it: "Earn more, spend less, invest the gap. Very simple. That is financial independence in a nutshell." Passive Income Reality Check 00:28:00 Let's demolish the myth of truly passive income. Cody manages 13 rental properties—but spends just 4-5 hours per month on them. This represents the spectrum of passive income: not zero effort, but minimal effort relative to the returns. The secret? Working in seasons rather than constant hustle mode. Some months require more attention (tenant turnover, maintenance issues), while others are nearly hands-off. Cody's businesses also follow this pattern—periods of intense development followed by relative autopilot. Brad reinforces this with math: "Every $100 a month you can cut out of your budget is $30,000 less you need in your FI number." Over 20 years, that $100/month compounds to $60K invested. That's a $90K swing from a single optimization. Designing the Perfect Tuesday 00:42:00 Forget exotic vacations—FI is about winning on a random Tuesday. Cody and Lauren's ideal weekday reveals what financial independence actually looks like: Morning: Wake naturally, coffee together, workout (him: gym; her: Pilates), shower, work on creative projects they enjoy Midday: Lunch together, afternoon walk in their neighborhood, separate time for individual pursuits Evening: Dinner together, reading, quality time before bed Nothing dramatic. No yachts. Just complete autonomy over every hour of a normal day. They maintain this through monthly alignment meetings—typically at a restaurant over a nice meal—covering: Money and real estate Health and fitness Travel plans Relationships (with a safe space to address concerns) Friends and family A rotating category Goals for the next month They also record an annual video reviewing the year, creating a time capsule of their journey. Post-FI Life and the Book 00:58:00 What actually happens when you achieve FI? Cody shares the uncomfortable truth: "Anything that you say that you want to do and that you don't do is a Cody problem. Before FI, you can blame things on time. You can blame things on money." When those excuses disappear, you're left facing yourself. That can be liberating and terrifying. His new book, Retire by Thirty, addresses this and more. Like Tim Ferriss's The Four Hour Workweek, the title is provocative but the principles are universal. Whether you compress your FI journey from 50-55, 33…

Outside the party, his approval sank to a record low of around 34%, gas prices broke $4 a gallon (over $5 in some states), and while Americans winced at their summer travel bills, Washington was busy putting the president's face on a $250 commemorative bill and gilding a statue near the Lincoln Memorial in 24K gold. Inside the party, however, he pushed his "revenge tour" to its peak — sitting Senators Cassidy, Massie, and Cornyn all fell in their primaries, cementing his grip on the GOP to the point of near-total dominance. This episode runs from the Iran stalemate to the $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, the scorched-earth battle over redistricting, the latest midterm outlook, and Vance's decline alongside Rubio's rise.

Compensation models for technical staff in MSPs require careful alignment with business objectives and operational capacity. Both James Kernan and Amy Babinchak emphasized that financial incentives such as commissions or bonuses can be appropriate when technicians are directly responsible for generating additional monthly recurring revenue (MRR) or securing new accounts. However, they noted that proper monitoring tools are essential to track productivity and ensure fairness—without adequate systems, variable compensation based on efficiency or project profitability can introduce operational risk and potential inequities. Supporting this, Amy Babinchak described implementing a tiered productivity incentive where technicians received additional pay for surpassing utilization rates above 80%, but expressed concern over excessive overtime. Both speakers underscored the necessity of clear job role definitions; rewarding sales activities for technical staff may be appropriate if it aligns with broader company goals and does not compromise core technical duties. Non-monetary recognition, such as trophies or gift cards for ticket resolution or utilization, was also mentioned as an effective, low-cost incentive. The episode expanded to analyze current challenges in industry education and vendor-driven events. Citing a survey from the "All Things MSP" group, Amy Babinchak reported that 86% of respondents believe MSP conferences are now allocating too much budget to entertainment at the expense of substantive educational content. Comments from participants indicated skepticism toward vendor-led sessions, noting that paid speaking slots are typically used for product promotion rather than useful training, raising questions about increasing conference costs and the dilution of actionable takeaways. Key operational topics included shifting preferences among AI tools, with both speakers confirming recent moves toward Claude and Copilot, and persistent debate over MSP documentation practices—ranging from ad-hoc tools like OneNote to industry solutions. The discussion concluded with an observation about payment processing costs: James Kernan highlighted a case where $24,000 in annual credit card fees significantly reduced firm profitability, stressing the importance of passing such costs on to customers or utilizing ACH to preserve margins. MSP leaders are encouraged to assess compensation structures, conference participation ROI, and vendor relationships in order to minimize risk, align incentives, and ensure operational resilience.

Angelica Govaert has gone broke and rebuilt herself twice. After the 2008 crash took everything, she drove to Las Vegas with her dog, played poker to survive, and won $6,000 at the Wynn to open a yoga studio in a converted garage. That garage became the largest yoga studio in Nevada - 50,000 clients, 150 teachers, multiple six figures. Then she sold it, bought a sailboat, and lost it all again. Broke and waiting tables at Bubba Gump Shrimp in her late 40s, she remembered a guy named Russell Brunson she'd seen at a conference. She built her first funnel from a dock. Year 1: $24K.

Gold continued its upward trajectory on Wednesday, with spot prices soaring above the $4,800-per-ounce mark for the first time in history.周三,金价延续上行走势,现货黄金价格史上首次飙升至每盎司4,800美元上方。The precious metal has gained more than 10 percent so far this month, rising by over $480, as geopolitical risks and tariff threats by the United States spur heightened demand for safe-haven investments.本月以来,该贵金属累计涨幅已超过10%,上涨逾480美元。地缘政治风险上升以及美国关税威胁加剧,推动市场对避险资产的需求显著升温。The domestic gold jewelry market has also seen price increases, with several brands pushing rates to near-record highs.国内黄金饰品市场亦出现价格上调,多家品牌将报价推至接近历史高位。As of Wednesday, the price of 24k gold jewelry reached 1,495 yuan per gram at Chow Sangsang, up from 1,454 yuan per gram the previous day. Lao Miao Gold prices increased to 1,493 yuan ($215) per gram, from 1,455 yuan the day before.截至周三,周生生24K金饰价格升至每克1,495元,高于前一日的每克1,454元。老庙黄金价格亦由前一日的每克1,455元上调至每克1,493元(约合215美元)。Many financial institutions remain bullish on gold.多家金融机构仍看好黄金后市。Citigroup has forecast that gold could challenge the $5,000-per-ounce mark in the next three months, assuming a bullish market scenario. This continued optimism comes as central banks around the world maintain an aggressive stance on gold purchases.花旗集团预测,在看涨市场情景下,黄金未来三个月或将冲击每盎司5,000美元关口。全球各国央行持续保持积极的购金态势,也进一步支撑了这一乐观预期。China's gold reserves have also showed a notable increase.中国黄金储备同样呈现明显增长。As of December, China's gold reserves stood at 74.15 million ounces, up 30,000 ounces from the previous month, marking the 14th consecutive month of accumulation by the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank.截至12月,中国黄金储备为7,415万盎司,较上月增加3万盎司,标志着中国央行——中国人民银行已连续第14个月增持黄金。Guan Tao, chief economist at Bank of China International, told the National Business Daily, that driven by both volume and price factors, the proportion of Chinese central bank's gold share in foreign exchange reserves during the same period reached 9.51 percent, an increase of 3.54 percentage points from the end of the previous year, setting a record high.中银国际首席经济学家管涛在接受《每日经济新闻》采访时表示,在数量与价格因素共同推动下,同期中国央行黄金在外汇储备中的占比达到9.51%,较上年末提高3.54个百分点,创历史新高。Li Yuefeng, a researcher at the Beijing Gold Economy Development Research Center, said: "The recent surge in gold prices can largely be attributed to increasing geopolitical risks and domestic political uncertainty in the United States. The threat of tariffs over Greenland and the ongoing concerns over the US Federal Reserve's role have created a strong tailwind for gold."北京黄金经济发展研究中心研究员李岳峰表示:“近期金价大幅上涨,主要归因于地缘政治风险上升以及美国国内政治不确定性加剧。围绕格陵兰的关税威胁,以及市场对美联储角色的持续担忧,共同为金价提供了强劲的上行动力。”With gold now within $200 of the $5,000-per-ounce level, Li said that a break above this threshold could open the door for a broader rally.李岳峰指出,目前金价距离每盎司5,000美元仅差200美元,若突破该关键关口,可能打开更大范围上涨的空间。He forecast that by the end of 2026, gold could reach levels between $6,000 and $8,000 per ounce, driven by a combination of inflation concerns, political risks, and the ongoing shift in global monetary policy.他预测,到2026年底,在通胀担忧、政治风险以及全球货币政策持续调整等多重因素推动下,金价可能升至每盎司6,000至8,000美元区间。safe-haven investments /ˌseɪf ˈheɪvən ɪnˈvestmənts/避险投资upward trajectory /ˈʌpwəd trəˈdʒektəri/上行轨迹;上涨趋势bullish /ˈbʊlɪʃ/看涨的;乐观的central bank /ˈsentrəl bæŋk/央行foreign exchange reserves /ˌfɒrɪn ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒ rɪˈzɜːvz/外汇储备tailwind /ˈteɪlwɪnd/顺风;推动力

This is the season for lists highlighting our most-listened-to or best-of-whatevers at the end of the year, so I decided to dig into the stats on my Natural Connections blog. To my surprise, the most-read article in 2025 was one I wrote in February of 2016 about a plant called mullein. In August 2025 it spiked in popularity, far above my normal readership. I have no idea why. I recently told someone the story of finding the chickadee-cached seed in the mullein stalk, but I'd forgotten about the rest of the article. It's fun! And appropriate to this season. So, I hope you enjoy it as much as the 1.24K other readers did, too! Happy New Year! –Emily
A friend who does M&A for MSPs asked me: if you've got a team of five hunters, what's a good hiring and firing process that keeps top performers, pushes average reps, and weeds out the bottom? Here's my answer—and it's all about having a system that manages for you. The best approach consists of two parts: First, separate your minimum standards from actual goals. Your goal might be $24K/month where commission incentives kick in, but your minimum standard is $18K—the threshold below which the business economics don't work. Top performers never notice this number. Average performers are aware of it but rarely dip below. Bottom performers struggle to hit it consistently. Second, create a clearly documented escalation policy: miss the minimum once, it's a discussion; twice in three months, written warning; three times in five months, termination. This episode breaks down why you want a standard that top performers never notice, average performers can maintain, and bottom performers systematically get rooted out—without you having to crack the activity whip every day. Learn how to adjust this for different sales cycles (like using 90-day rolling averages for MSPs), why average is actually good and you don't want high churn, and how the right system diminishes your need to micromanage while keeping the team steady and high-performing.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1211: Today we break down fading dealer confidence heading into 2026, hear how Mazda's retail-led strategy is boosting margins despite tariff headwinds, and look at why holiday shoppers are leaning on real human reviews over influencers.Show Notes with links:Dealer confidence slid hard to close out 2025 as rising costs, shaky consumer confidence, and slowing demand pushed the Cox Automotive Dealer Sentiment Index well below the positive threshold.Current market sentiment fell to 38 (down from 43 in Q3), with franchised dealers holding slightly stronger at 47, and independent dealers lower at 35. Future outlook declined from 46 to 42Customer traffic hit record lows, especially for franchised dealers, with both in-person and digital traffic declining.“Compared to the rest of the year, the current market feels like it's running out of gas,” said Mark Strand, Deputy Chief Economist at Cox Automotive.In a recent interview with Automotive News, Mazda CEO Masahiro Moro breaks down how the brand quietly climbed upmarket—growing dealer throughput, elevating brand value, and pushing margins higher—even as tariffs briefly knocked profitability off course.U.S. market share climbed from 1.7% to 2.6% since 2017, with ATPs jumping from $24K to $33K and dealer throughput nearly doubling at Retail Evolution stores.Tariff pressures led to a temporary loss, but Mazda expects a return to profitability in the back half of the year as CX-30 production adjusts and large-vehicle margins hold strong.On rotary's return, Moro teased: “2027 marks the 50th anniversary of our rotary engine… What do you want to see?”Turns out the real power shoppers this year aren't influencers—they're everyday consumers dropping reviews at record pace. Trustpilot reports a massive surge in review activity as buyers lean heavily on peer feedback before spending.Consumer reviews spiked 76% YoY, with nearly 4 million visitors participating in National Write a Review Week.86% of shoppers checked reviews before buying, and 40% waited specifically for others to post first.Top complaints? Delivery delays, tech issues, and weak customer service.“When people share their experiences, everyone shops smarter,” said Alicia Skubick, Trustpilot's chief customer officer.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
What happens when you stop chasing status and start building a family mission?
Morgan and Kala Pepper are flipping properties to acquire rentals with no debt.For the past few years, they've been doing 1 flip a year.Now they're aiming for 7 flips this year, plus 3 to 5 rentals.They're doing this in a market where they can buy a house for $20K, put in $24K, and end up all-in at $48K.(That's less than the price of a kitchen in some cities.)Here's how they scaled faster in 4 months than they did in the last 4 years.If you're like most people, you won't scale in 2026 with the same habits you had in 2025.

In this emotional episode recorded shortly after his grandfather's passing, Clinton shares his three-tier pricing model and announces Legacy Film School to teach others the art of premium storytelling. Key Takeaways Clinton's three packages range from $8K (captured as-told) to $24K (full cinematic treatment with B-roll and music) He insists on being alone with storytellers during interviews to create the most authentic connection His entry-level package generates roughly $250/hour, proving that specialized storytelling can command premium rates Legacy filmmaking is recession-proof and AI-resistant because it's built on authentic human connection About Clinton Haby Clinton Haby is a legacy filmmaking pioneer and the founder of StoryKeeping. What began as an urge to keep his grandparents' stories has taken him on a journey of non-stop learning.

Taylor (29) is a high-earning dentist with a strict savings plan and deep-rooted fears about financial instability. Hayden (25) earns $24K a year, has a history of gambling and financial dishonesty, and struggles with budgeting. They live together, but their vastly different money philosophies leave Taylor questioning whether marriage is possible. With trust issues, income imbalance, and emotional baggage on both sides, can they find common ground—or is it time to walk away? In this episode we uncover: • Taylor's strict financial boundaries—and why Hayden feels constantly judged by them • The real reason Hayden hides purchases (and what it's costing their relationship) • Why Taylor resents being the financial provider, and how it's creating a growing power imbalance • A candid conversation about Hayden's past gambling—and whether trust can be rebuilt • How their radically different upbringings shaped two completely opposing money mindsets • The unspoken tension around engagement—and what's holding Taylor back from proposing • Taylor's biggest fear: ending up broke and alone • Hayden opens up about insecurity, dependence, and feeling “less than” • What they really want from each other—and why neither feels safe enough to ask Chapters: (00:00:00) “He gets to do whatever he wants with his money” (00:07:22) Ramit breaks down their numbers (00:20:58) “Why have all that money if you don't plan to spend it?” (00:28:27) How childhood trauma shaped their views on money, control, and survival (00:37:44) A secret $35K loss—and the fallout that nearly ended everything (00:49:15) “Most of what I do with money is to get her off my back” (01:01:12) Is change still real if it's only for someone else?
