How can you earn more? What if you were more awesome at your job? The host of the hit podcast How To Be Awesome At Your Job, Pete Mockaitis, joins us in the basement to talk workplace best practices. We haven’t done a top five episode in some time, so we’re going to count down Pete’s five favorite messages that guests of his show have shared. We’ll talk about everything from productivity to planning, and how to excel at your job on today’s podcast!

We’ll also throw out the Haven Life Line to Alan, who wonders about the rule of 72. How can you use it for better planning? Plus we’ll answer a letter from Ryan, whose parents want him to help advise them about financial decisions. Should he do it?

Special thanks to M1Finance and Big Picture Retirement podcast for sponsoring our show! We couldn’t do any of this without the support of these awesome companies.
