What's coming

  • Podcast episodes

    Conversations you can listen to, each with a full written transcript for anyone who'd rather read.

  • Written interviews

    The same kind of conversation, written up as questions and answers you can read at your own pace.

Who we want to talk with

  • People who reached FIRE, early or late, in every line of work
  • Firefighters, police officers, teachers, veterans and government workers who retired on a pension
  • People partway there, and what's keeping them going
  • People who retired, then went back to work
  • People who got there through passive income, a business or a side hustle
  • People who planned the bridge from their last paycheck to Medicare

Know a story we should hear?

Prefer to write it yourself? Share your story instead.

What would you like to do? (required)

A first name is fine. We won't publish it.

So we can get in touch about an interview. Never published, never shared.

Where you started, what you did, and where you are now. A few sentences is plenty.

Up to 2,000 characters.

What could the conversation cover? (optional, choose any)
