Fireside Chats, Episode 115: Wisdom
Added 2019-11-13 19:38:40 +0000 UTCHere we are, at the penultimate episode of Fireside Chats. Since we're so close to the end, it makes sense that our final proper interview should occur with someone young, someone fiery, someone with a Carpe Diem attitude. Someone, in short, that can inspire you. Mike Bacior is a college graduate, a newly-minted professional, and obsessive about understanding the way things work, how people climb the ladder, and how to ultimately garner success in whatever you do. He's wise beyond his years, and what he has to say may just help calibrate your own work ethic, goals, and direction. Tune in!

2019-11-22 19:18:24 +0000 UTCIf this is the final episode of Fireside chats I just wanted to say that this series changed my life. Me being in high school when Trump was elected and the cultural/political divide was starting to begin I was often told by the people I looked up at the time (Older Siblings, friends, etc) to not converse with anyone with social/political ideologies that might differ from ours (The brown/black community). I kept this ideology all throughout high school until I discovered FSC when I was 19 in university. After a year of being on the FSC bandwagon I started to realize the similarities people of different social and political backgrounds have from me and my community. Now, I get eager to talk to peoples who's views differ from mine since I now know that who you vote for doesn't always make you racist piece of trash. Best of luck on the move! I hope the homeland of Pusha T treats you well.

2019-11-16 01:17:46 +0000 UTCI'll let Colin speak for himself if he has any but I think it's hard to find anything better to start than this! https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/wiki/index

Colin Moriarty
2019-11-15 02:39:49 +0000 UTCThank you. I don't think anyone would take offense. The show was ultimately designed towards "normal" people, and that's why it was so fun for me. =)

2019-11-15 02:39:39 +0000 UTCDon't give me any ideas.

2019-11-15 02:38:56 +0000 UTCLol dude, I’ve people tell me what they have in their bank account and they’re like 7-10 years older than I am.... I’m like WHAT. I’ve never understand the materialistic nature of buying things and spending excessive amounts of money on parties, alcohol, going out, etc.

2019-11-14 18:14:03 +0000 UTCWages of Destruction by Adam Tooze. He has another great book called Crashed, which is the most insightful thing I've read about the 2008 financial crisis and its global impacts

2019-11-13 23:52:59 +0000 UTCGreat conversation! After a couple of years of dealing with periods of unemployment, immigrating to a new country (and all the costs that comes with), and finally transitioning to better paying levels in my career, I'm stoked to finally prioritize long term financial planning. This conversation definitely did a great job adding kindle to that fire burning under my ass haha

2019-11-13 22:53:49 +0000 UTCSad to see Fireside Chats go Colin - I'm actually travelling to the U.S for the first time from Australia (including L.A) very soon and was thinking of getting in touch about the show! Fingers crossed you do it remotely again one day, and good luck with the move.

2019-11-13 22:36:30 +0000 UTCShame your stopping the show. Your very good at asking questions and having a good flow, like Rogan. If you had a higher quality guests the show would murder. No disrespect to Mike, as I really like what he had to say.

2019-11-13 22:20:28 +0000 UTCI think Colin should just keep FSCs going, but instead off talking to other people he just acts like the guest and the host at the same time, just putting on a new voice every episode and see how long it take for people to realise he talking to himself.

2019-11-13 22:13:03 +0000 UTCI'm really going to miss fireside chats. I'm sad I never requested to be on the show.
