Stuart and Iain tease apart what seems to be a choice between doing what you love, and loving what you do. There is of course a secret third option of just winning the lottery.

In this episode, Iain is sensible, level-headed and just odd enough whereas Stuart follows his passion and hates it. They discuss the curse of obligation, "The Secret", not keeping your passion a secret, and whether Iain has a secret admirer...

Stuart and Iain have traveled through time from 2020 to discuss the passive income strategy. What is passive income really? Is it really passive? Is it really ethical? What is marketing even? And how can it be used for good? Will Stuart ever sleep again? All this, but with less structure, in this episode, Where the only thing Iain accurately predicts is the time from recording to publication.

This time we discussed passive income, outsourcing and the difficulty of good management, dropshipping, the ethics of pushing effort to others whilst retaining profit, value driven business, value driven marketing, and ducking mattresses.

Stuart and Iain pick their holy books of FIRE, talk about the perils of saving rather than spending, debate whether a 100% savings rate is possible and tell you once and for all, what the correct savings rate is.

This time we discussed the Portfolio Income strategy, life deferment traps, and Mr Money Moustache’s seal of approval for Tesla model Y.
