Bill Gurley: The Biggest Career Regret Most People Have

#697: Most people regret the things they never tried. Venture capitalist Bill Gurley says that pattern shows up again and again in research on end-of-life regrets — including regret about the careers people never pursued. In this episode, Gurley joins us to talk about how people actually discover work they enjoy - and why the cliché to “follow your passion” sends people in the wrong direction. We start with a question many listeners wrestle with: what if you reach your forties or fifties and still do not know what you want to do? Gurley explains that career changes later in life remain possible. Financial flexibility helps. People who spend every dollar they earn limit their ability to shift paths. People who control their spending keep more options open. Gurley argues that “passion” often appears only after someone spends time exploring a field. A better starting point involves fascination - the subjects that pull your attention when nobody assigns the work. Gurley suggests paying attention to what you study in your free time. If you find yourself reading about a topic instead of watching Netflix, that curiosity may signal a possible career direction. We also discuss how most successful careers involve several stops along the way. Gurley studied hundreds of success stories and found that many people move through two or three roles before landing their long-term path. That pattern shows up across industries. Gurley began as a computer engineer working at Compaq. Even though he enjoyed the work, his curiosity shifted toward investing and business. He eventually left engineering, went to business school and started knocking on doors in New York until he landed a job as a Wall Street analyst. That path later led him to Silicon Valley and a 25-year career in venture capital. Throughout the conversation, we talk about continuous learning, side projects that expand career options and how curiosity often shapes a career more than long-term planning.

What I’ve Learned from Interviewing 500 Millionaires -- with Jaime Masters of Eventual Millionaire

#200: Nine years ago, I had no idea that personal finance blogs existed. Then, as I was flipping through an issue of Kiplinger magazine, I came across an article about a woman who paid off $70,000 in debt in 16 months. Her name was Jaime, she lived in Maine, and she earned 3x her husband’s income. He made $30,000 per year; she made $100,000. They wanted to have a baby, and she wanted to stay at home for the first year, but their debt load made this impossible. She aggressively went into debt-crushing-mode, working 70 hour weeks while 7 months pregnant in order to tackle their debt. She started a blog (and later a podcast), Eventual Millionaire, to track her journey and interview millionaires. This article made me aware of the existence of personal finance blogs. I immediately thought, “I want one.” The following year, I started my own site, Afford Anything. Like Eventual Millionaire, it later became a podcast, as well. Today, we’re celebrating Episode 200 of the Afford Anything podcast. And so it feels fitting that the special guest for Episode 200 should be the woman whose story inspired the creation of this platform, Jaime Masters.

First Friday: The Strange Economics of Feeling Poor While Spending More Description:

#666: In this First Friday economic update, we explore the paradox defining our current economy: record-breaking retail numbers alongside plummeting consumer confidence. In this First Friday economic update, we explore the paradox defining our current economy: we're spending more than ever, while feeling worse about money than we have in years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics hasn't released jobs data for two consecutive months. The Federal Reserve must make a critical interest rate decision flying blind. Meanwhile, private sector data reveals troubling trends. Small businesses are hemorrhaging jobs while discount chains like Dollar General see their stock prices soar 44%. Americans are spending differently this holiday season. They're shopping earlier, using AI to find deals, and turning to buy-now-pay-later options. Households are spending less than last year, yet total spending increases because more people are participating. This K-shaped recovery benefits luxury retailers and bargain stores while crushing the middle market. We also cover essential year-end financial moves. From maximizing retirement contributions to tax-loss harvesting strategies, we help you navigate your personal finances amid economic uncertainty. The disconnect between what the numbers say – and how people feel – reveals deeper truths about an economy that's technically growing while leaving many behind.

Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 3/13/23

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, the Democrat party agenda is a disaster for capitalism and capitalists. There is no industry more heavily regulated in America than the banking industry, and if an administration forces banks to give out loans to people who cannot repay them or to comply with subsidizing government programs, they will collapse like Silicon Valley Bank. Just like in 2008, we have a Democrat administration and a Democrat Congress with no financial responsibility, blaming everything on President Trump yet again. We are seeing the consequences of 24 months of Democrat rule over this country - this is a manmade economic disaster, and it is not over. Also, President Biden knows if he can flip Texas blue, it’s all over for Republicans because they will have no path to the White House. It won’t matter how red Florida or Pennsylvania becomes. California has flipped blue through illegal immigration, and that’s what Biden is doing now with a wide-open southern border, and he doesn’t care how much crime and drugs come into America as a result. Later, Mark speaks with Fox News host Sean Hannity about the banking collapse and Biden’s bailout. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ret. Green Beret Zach Garner - Part 1 | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 138

Resilience is a word that gets thrown around a lot when it comes to describing the warriors and veterans that fight for our freedom, but few embody the term moreso than Zach Garner. On the surface, he's a retired Green Beret from 7th Special Forces Group that completed multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. But a peek under the hood tells a different story - surgeries, seizures, multiple-month hospital stays, and even a brutal fight with an absolutely devastating flesh-eating bacteria have all played a part in his life. But to hear Zach tell it, that's why he's here - to share his experience and the lessons he learned throughout his recovery, in the hopes of providing solutions to the obstacles we all face. If Zach can do it, anybody can. ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro02:47 - Dad Was a Styx Fan09:14 - Morning Routine 13:42 - Born in Illinois20:16 - Ground Rules26:55 - Becoming a Forward Observer36:05 - Multiple Launch Rocket System41:35 - Overnight House Clears53:20 - Then I Got Stabbed at a Kenny Chesney Concert01:01:09 - A Single Dude in Germany01:14:51 - Special Forces01:20:48 - Firefight in the Valley01:28:32 - Everybody Loves an A-1001:38:41 - The First Seizure----------Support Zach Garner: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/zack_next_doorYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@zacharygarnerLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/zachary-garner-253605170----------Sponsors: StrikemanRight now, get 25% OFF by using the code RITLAND when you go to TRAINWITHSTRIKEMAN.COM.----------1st Phorm1stphorm.com/mikedrop Free shipping on all orders over $75 when you use the link. ----------BioPro+use code: mikedrop to save $30 on your first order----------Fueled by TeamDog | www.mikeritlandco.com | @Teamdog.petALL THINGS MIKE RITLAND:SHOP for Fueled By Team Dog Performance Dog Food, Treats, Apparel, Accessories, and Protection dogs - MikeRitlandCo.com - https://www.MikeRitlandCo.com Team Dog Online dog training - TeamDog.pet - https://www.TeamDog.petThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5531509/advertisement Learn more about your ad choices.

Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 1/13/23

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, the timeline of the President Biden classified document scandal is absolutely shocking. This was a coverup for over 60 days until a leak to NBC news, and with no FBI search or search warrant for Biden and especially no SWAT team raid. They don’t give President Trump the benefit of the doubt so why should we for Biden and his lawyers saying they’ve returned everything? What Biden has done is outrageous, a threat to our national security and far worse. Also, the Democrat party is effectively partnering with the Mexican drug cartels because Biden and his administration could care less about the wide-open southern border. Biden has no intention of securing the border and by leaving it open to smuggling illegal aliens, he’s the cartel’s best business partner. Later, the fear campaign going on now by Democrats and the media about the U.S. facing default over the spending bill is built on a lie. The current year spending is already paid for from last year’s budget, so there can’t be a default. Now Mitch McConnell will argue that we need to prevent a default, even though he is responsible for the trillion dollar Omnibus spending bill. Finally, the Democrat green energy bill is destroying the environment, and we can see it with the amount of beached whales washing up on shores near offshore windmills like in Atlantic City, NJ. These wind turbines are being built all the way down the eastern seaboard which is a disgrace. Nothing gets in the way of climate change Marxists, especially facts. Learn more about your ad choices.
