Thinking about a better future? Maybe look at what happened to you during your childhood and learn lessons that can help you grow. That’s what today’s guest, Charles McCarrick did. He took important lessons from some hilarious, educational, and sometimes disturbing moments from his childhood growing up the next-to-youngest of five brothers (and one sister!). Charles shares stories that made him the scientist, entrepreneur, and thinker that he is today, and that can also help you either build your own business or grow inside of the business where you work.
We have a guest co-host today! Stephen Baughier from CampFI joins us for our headline, TikTok minute, Haven Life line, and more. He’ll share stories from the popular FIRE movement camps, and help us build good lessons from today’s show. He also shares what’s happening at the upcoming Texas Camp FI, where Joe will be a speaker!
In our headline segment, one popular crowdfunding real estate platform has had some trouble. We’ll share the details AND what it has to do with your money. Of course, we’ll also save time for Doug’s trivia!
Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/201
