“Clipping Chains” Podcast — Oblivious Investor


I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on Clipping Chains — a lovely podcast that merges financial independence and rock climbing. (I rarely talk about my life outside of work here on the blog, but rock climbing has been a huge part of it for the last ~12 years.) In the interview, we discussed FIRE, the 4% rule, Social Security, a range of other financial topics, and (of course!) climbing.

You can find the episode (and some climbing photos) here:
