001 - How We Got Into Investing And How You Can Avoid Our Mistakes

As an intro we discuss how certain aspects of our lives led to us wanting to live a nomadic life and how we could fund such a dream.  From Tim's hypothermia scare forcing us to sleep in the trunk of the car, burnout from being overworked, and quitting jobs to strike out on adventures...We tried flipping real estate, investing in start ups, chasing growth stocks, and starting businesses, but had mishaps with each endeavor. Eventually, Tim stumbled onto the hidden potential of passive income from dividend stocks in the book Beyond Wealth.  The second half of the episode gives an overview of the general principles of our income investing strategy that we'll be covering in future episodes.
