Description
Personal finance doesn't have to be boring. We refuse to let it be.
The Extreme Personal Finance Show is where financial independence meets a crushing guitar riff. I'm Chris, early retiree, tech guy, and lifelong metalhead. I built this show for people who wanna take control of their money and their lives!
We cover everything from building wealth, killing debt, investing for the long haul, side income, real estate, retirement planning, and the mindset shifts that make all of it actually stick. No filler, no BS, no 47-minute intros.
Each week I sit down with brilliant guests from the FIRE movement and beyond. These people who've cracked the code and are generous enough to share it. Plus solo episodes where I break down the stuff nobody talks about at the dinner table but everybody needs to hear.
This isn't your parents' money podcast. Strap in and hold on tight!
HORNS UP! 🤘🤘
