If you liked what you heard, please subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts! Show notes and links from today's episode Vicki Robin Afford Anything episode VetStory podcast Letters from War (aka most emotional song ever) Letters from War podcast Without Warning podcast Congressional Dish podcast Soarpreneur podcast Key takeaways from our chat: 1 - J is very family oriented J & Gwen talk about some of their earliest and most defining memories from growing up. Gwen shares a cute story of learning how to whistle, while J talks about the dangers of growing up with a Boston accent.... duh duh duh duhhhhhh. It's interesting to hear the differences in childhood as J grew up as a member of a loud, boisterous tribe and Gwen grew up in basically the polar opposite lifestyle. 2 - Gwen & J survived the semi-sketchy Airbnb Despite worrying about the apartment burning down while we slept, we made it through the week just fine! The sketch AirBnb did not burn down or get burgled. Gwen did leave a less than glowing review of her stay, in case you were wondering. 3 - The Power of Community No matter where you go, almost around the world, you can find people in the FI community. J & Gwen had an absolute blast meeting up with people in Philadelphia at the Podtastrophe meetup. We got to hear from and have conversations with real people who listen to FIRE Drill. We got feedback on the podcast, celebrated wins with some people and commiserated over real estate stories. So, if you're ever in Seattle or wherever Gwen is, hit us up! We'd love to hang out!
