The Financial Samurai Podcast Sam Dogen: Financial Samurai founder, personal finance blogger

I speak to Farnoosh Torabi, host of the So Money podcast and author of her new book, A Health State Of Panic about fear. Specifically, we discuss how we all have fear and how we can harness it to build more wealth and have more purposeful lives. 
We also discuss parenthood, how to live a successful life, and how to be more inclusive of different voices in the personal finance field and elsewhere.

I speak to Ben Miller, Co-Founder and CEO of Fundrise about why his company started a new tech Innovation Fund. We explore why Ben thinks his firm has a competitive advantage, the most promising areas where the fund is investing, and the mechanics of investing in a private venture fund by Fundrise.

Fundrise is a long time sponsor of Financial Samurai. In 2016, I recognized Fundrise's investment thesis of investing in heartland real estate was exactly like mine. So we formed a business partnership that has now lasted for years.  

I speak with Brad Stulberg, author of Master of Change, about how to do just that in this chaotic, stressful, and every-changing world. Brad also wrote The Practice Of Groundedness, which I found particularly helpful during the pandemic. 
For those who wish to feel a little less stress, a little more calm, and a lot more confident about tackling change, this episode is for you.
