“If you fully stop work, your investments have to earn the paycheck for you!”
“As long as any income stream you have is something you’re passionate about… I think you can look at it as a passion project and source of income in retirement.”
“It’s the iceberg effect. You only see the top little bit, you don’t realize all the hard work that went into everything down below.”

The most important thing mentioned in this podcast: Harlan Coben!!! I’m dying to see Myron and Win on the big screen but I’m also terrified they’ll mess it up. My dad and I have argued at length who we’d cast. Our front runner for Win is Simon Baker.
