57. Bryce Leung and Erin on the Freedom of Financial Independence

What does freedom look like to you? If your answer includes financial independence, then you’ll particularly enjoy this week’s conversation with FIRE (financial independence, retire early) legend, Bryce Leung, as part of our deep dive exploration into Fulfillment Concept #3: Finding Freedom. Bryce and I dig into the fundamental strategies of achieving and sustaining financial independence, such as the 4% rule, yield shield, cash cushion and geographic arbitrage. We also cover the softer, yet equally critical, side of things like the mental shift that has to take place when you transition from external structure and being told how to spend your time to internally-driving your purpose and daily activities. We talk about the tenuous balance involved in sacrificing present fulfillment for future fulfillment and we check in on life 10 years after retiring.
