Our friend Sunitha Rao came from humble beginnings.

Her parents spent most of their lives in one of the poorest regions in India.

Despite all odds, Suni became a professional tennis player and traveled the globe playing in different tournaments.

Years later, she turned her competitive nature toward real estate.

Her real estate career quickly started to explode, and she’s been addicted ever since.

This episode originally aired in 2019, but it was so good, we decided to replay it.

2,000,000 downloads!

And it’s all thanks to listeners, viewers, and readers like yourself.

In today’s episode, we reflect on everything that has changed and everything that hasn’t.

Cody & Justin have increased their net worths by a combined $5,000,000!

Justin retired 10 years sooner than he ever imagined.

Cody created a multi-seven-figure business around an idea he never even considered.

Those are just a couple of big highlights with other highlights including:

• New Investment Strategies
  • Flips
  • AirBnB – ownership and management
  • Covered Calls
  • Syndications
  • Hard Money Loans
• Lifestyle Changes
  • Girlfriends have become Wife/Fiance
  • Justin stopped drinking
  • Cody and Justin are in even better physical shape than 6 years ago
  • They both focus more on value than purely price
  • Justin listens to EDM and drinks coffee….never saw that coming
• What Hasn’t Changed
  • Keeping the “big 3” expenses low
  • The majority of our investments are still total stock market funds
  • Experiences are still the priority over material objects

We continue to do this show because of you all.

Every time we hear a story of how we inspired someone or introduced them to a concept that is now helping them live the life they dreamed of, it pushes us to keep going.

Jane Kanizay went from financial freedom to divorce to financial freedom again while achieving amazing physical feats along the way.

Jane is an adventurer, educator, activist, speaker, artist, and ​mother of four who successfully climbed Mt. Everest ​with her 19-year-old daughter on May 14th, 2022.

Jane climbs with the message of Teach Us Consent to campaign for ​holistic consent education in the school curriculum and to ​advocate for the prevention of violence against women. This mission helps push her to her physical and mental limits.

High-altitude mountaineering is one of the deadliest sports in the ​world.

It’s also very expensive and hard to imagine being possible for most teachers.

That’s where Jane’s background in real estate shines.

She built a portfolio that is now funding her amazing adventures.

She also gives us an in-depth breakdown of the financial abuse she tries to educate on and advocate against.

Some signs of this abuse from a partner might include:

• Controls access to finances, won’t let you access bank accounts or credit cards
• Expects you to pay for bills, groceries, and other basic necessities but gives you little or no money to cover those costs
• Forbids you from working or deliberately sabotages your ability to get or hold down a job
• Refuses to work or contribute to family expenses
• Takes out loans or accrues debt in your name
• Doesn’t include you in significant investment or banking decisions
• Refuses to pay or evades child support
• Hides assets
• Incurs fines or infringements in your name then expects you to pay them

Jane’s story is so inspirational and we hope that she helps you get out of your comfort zone and achieve the seemingly impossible.

One of the questions we get asked most often is for guidance on what someone should and should not spend money on.

The answer is always… it depends.

What’s important to me, may not be important to you.

Jen Smith is here to give everyone the framework to make those tough decisions.

This framework is called Value Based spending.

Jen lays it all out in her new book, “Buy What You Love Without Going Broke“.

Long-term listeners may remember Jen from episode 58, “Frugality without Deprivation,” in 2019.

She’s also still rocking things over at the Frugal Friends Podcast.

In today’s episode as we discuss the book you’ll find answers to the following:

• Why is it so hard to stop spending money?
• What is values-based spending and how is it different?
• What’s the problem with telling someone a budget will solve their spending problem?
• What’s the point of learning values-based spending when the bigger issue is that we don’t earn enough money?

And so much more.

You never know how close you are to a great story.

I (Justin) learned that on my recent trip to Africa on my way to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Boarding my flight I met Caitlin James as she was on her way to climb the very same mountain.

The more I heard from her, the more I realized I had come across a truly amazing story.

Caitlin was paralyzed in a boating accident.

Through surgery and rehab, she eventually regained the ability to walk.

Walking was just the start though.

She jokingly said if she could walk again she’d climb a mountain in a banana suit…and that’s exactly what she did.

That first mountain hooked her, and she has racked up an insanely impressive list of summits in just a couple of years.

This story may not seem relevant to some for this show, but we thought it made perfect sense.

Many people want to do something adventurous, travel, and spend their days outside instead of behind a computer.

These reasons are what drive them to retire.

But Caitlin isn’t waiting for retirement to live out her dreams and pursue her passions.

Instead, she is making her passions her career.

Caitlin reinvented herself and her career. Check out her expeditions over the last couple of years:

Long-time listeners may remember Nick’s episode from Episode 56 way back in 2019.

We felt like this classic episode and fundamental topic needed to be brought out of the archives and revisited.

Nick Loper is the side hustle king from Side Hustle Nation.

Nick got an eye-opening opportunity in college and knew he had to be his own boss.

He would eventually work for three years in the corporate world.

During that time he was building his side hustle.

It was quickly covering his expenses and he never looked back.

We really help you focus on how to choose the right side hustle for you.

• Nick recommends finding two areas you’re in the top 50% in
• Then find a way for those two things to intersect
• He also suggests trying out things to experiment
• You’ll often find your true golden idea once you get started on a project
• If you begin to dread the work, it may be time to stop working on that side hustle

Listen and learn all about side hustles and let us know what you think.
