Do you aspire to financial independence too? It’s quite a journey, I must say.

John from Financial Freedom Countdown shares with us his own story—a testament to how there are unfair disadvantages to being an immigrant but harnessing soft skills in negotiation, social influence, and interaction can help pave the way for you—just as it did for John. He became an asset in a huge company which later on gave him a good boost on his way to financial independence.

In this episode, we talked about: 

  • Calculating your way to financial independence
  • Learning soft skills to improve human capital
  • Overcoming imposter syndrome as an immigrant
  • Adapting his investment style to his lifestyle
  • The heartbreaking story of why John decided to go all-in with his financial independence journey
