Key takeaways from our chat 1 - FinCon is an amazing way to meet like-minded people FinCon is not just awards, it's also an amazing opportunity to meet some extremely interesting and nice people. From amazing entrepreneurs like Paula Pant to podcasters like ChooseFI and cool bloggers from literally everywhere - you are certain to find someone who will inspire you, relate to you and become your friend.
It's also a great place to compare personal finance strategies ('oh you invest in this?') with people who have experience and are willing to exchange opinions. 2 - Gwen has some great projects lined up for the future Although the summer was stressful, Gwen is now settling down as a freelancer and is planning on doing more and more masterminds and coaching with others. She's aiming for $1,000/month on passive income and is optimistic about the future. FIREDrill has some more lives streams and masterminds planned, including some more interactions with guests and listeners! 3 - The community has made some amazing wins We read out some of the wins that you have sent us, and they're pretty amazing: Ben found a side-hustle where he gets paid $2200/month to host two students from China. Josh reached his net worth aim 4 months early. Lynne is house hacking with Airbnb and crushing it. Sean helped some graduates get a job and got a sweet little bonus from it.
