    Freedom, Resilience, Everest | Jane Kanizay

    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.

    Buy What You Love Without Going Broke | Jen Smith

    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. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!

    From Becoming Paralyzed to Hiking Across 6 Continents | Caitlin James

    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: NORTH AMERICA DENALI Alaska 20,310 MT WHITNEY, California 14,505 MT RAINIER, Washington 14,411 MT HELEN, Washington 10,786 SOUTH AMERICA ACONCAGUA 22,837 (Normal route) Ojos del Salado 22,615 (Argentinian side) PERU Cordillera Blanca Range; Huascaran 22,205 Chacraraju 20,039 Salkantay 20,574 Ausangate Nevado trek; Machu Picchu 7,972 Huayna Picchu 8,835 Rainbow Mountain 17,060 Nevado Ausangate 20,945 Nevados Ojos del Salado 22,569 ECUADOR Chimborazo 20,549 EUROPE MONT BLANC 15,777 MATTERHORN 14,692 The EIGER 13,642 The ALPHUBEL 13,799 DOLOMITES 10,968 MONTE ROSA 15,203 BRITISH COLUMBIA MT LOGAN 19,551 MT FAIRWEATHER 15,325 MT ROBSON 9,281 FT AFRICA Kilimanjaro, 19,341 (3x in two years) Umbwe, Marangu, Machame Route Mt Meru 14,980 Cape Town 3,563 CHILE Torres Del Paine (Patagonia) JAPAN MT Fuji 12,388 MT Tsurugi 9,839 NEPAL EBC TREK 17,598 LOBUCHE 20,062 ISLAND PEAK 20,252 MANASLU C3 23,622 INDONESIA SUMATRA 12,484 AUSTRALIA MT KOSCIUSZKO 7,310 MT TOWNSEND 7,247 GREAT OCEAN WALK 240 Kilo/149miles We hope this inspires you to consider how you can chase your dreams now and not feel as though your life is chained up until retirement.
