121: Money Freedom is Not Simply More Mo...

Zach White
About this episode

What is the path to financial freedom? Is more money in your 401(k) the right decision? How can engineers leverage their skills at work to accelerate their dream lifestyle?

 

Listen now for these answers and more!

 

============================

 

When you’re ready, here are three ways I can help you build your engineering career:

 

1. Grab my eBook … 49 tips you can apply immediately to stand out and move up, without any fancy degrees or certifications.

 

2. Join me at Happy Hour … my LIVE monthly workshop where we dig deep into career growth strategies and provide 1:1 open coaching for you at the end of the session.

 

3. Apply for the Lifestyle Engineering Blueprint …work with me and my team privately in our intensive coaching program, exclusively for engineering leaders.

 

============================

 

In this episode, we talk MONEY with a 20 year veteran of aerospace engineering who is now a full time investor and Founder of Vestus Capital, Flint Jamison.

 

Every engineering leader wants financial freedom, but how do you get there?

 

If your strategy is to follow the average advice, you’ll get average results. In the world we live in today, average results are just not good enough.

 

Flint and I discuss how burnout led him to ask new questions and innovate solutions for his financial future, and how you can do the same.  The best part is that these strategies are not just about creating wealth, but changing your experience at work and avoiding burnout as well.

 

So press play and let’s chat… because money freedom is not simply about making more money!
