To celebrate the release of JL Collins' new book, Pathfinders, I collected all the best advice from his Financial Independence Podcast interviews! Jim has been on the show three times:

First, back in 2012 (he was my second guest ever!)
Second, when his hit book, The Simple Path to Wealth, was released
Third, during the depths of the Coronavirus crash

That last interview may be my proudest moment as the Mad Fientist (I explain why during the show). Hope you enjoy this jam-packed episode!
