00:00:14.040 | - Welcome to the Radical Personal Finance Podcast
00:00:18.260 | for today, Wednesday, February 11, 2015.
00:00:22.660 | My name is Joshua Sheets, I'm your host.
00:00:24.540 | Very quick show today,
00:00:25.780 | just a very short announcement for you.
00:00:28.580 | I apologize, but I need to actually preempt today's show,
00:00:33.580 | which was planned to be part two
00:00:35.780 | of the master class on 529 plans.
00:00:38.940 | Forgive me, but I've decided last minute
00:00:40.660 | to go ahead and fly out to Dallas, Texas tomorrow morning
00:00:44.780 | for the Technology Tools for Today conference.
00:00:48.780 | So I will be out in Dallas on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
00:00:53.780 | returning home on Saturday evening.
00:00:56.620 | So if the reason I'm announcing on the show is A,
00:01:00.060 | there may not be a show while I am out there.
00:01:02.340 | There may not, I will do my best to get some shows out
00:01:05.140 | while I'm out there, but no promises.
00:01:07.360 | It'll depend on what the logistics wind up being.
00:01:10.940 | I've got a few reasons why I need to be out there
00:01:13.160 | at this conference, and I'll share them with you
00:01:15.020 | on the show in the future.
00:01:16.860 | So don't be worried if there's no shows
00:01:18.700 | the next couple of days.
00:01:19.820 | But number two, if you are in Dallas and you are a listener,
00:01:23.640 | I would love to connect with you.
00:01:25.300 | I would love to host a meetup of some kind,
00:01:28.180 | and so I will probably do that.
00:01:29.700 | No details yet, but if you are a listener in Dallas,
00:01:34.700 | please reach out to me and let me know.
00:01:36.480 | You may feel free to email me,
00:01:38.060 | joshua@radicalpersonalfinance.com,
00:01:40.300 | although the best way to coordinate this
00:01:42.680 | will probably be on Twitter.
00:01:44.380 | So connect with me personally on Twitter @joshuasheats.
00:01:48.420 | And I will be, this conference will be at the Hilton,
00:01:51.940 | what is this, the Hilton Anatoly, I guess,
00:01:54.000 | in Dallas, Texas, in downtown Dallas.
00:01:56.180 | And I'd love to connect with any of you
00:01:58.520 | who would like to meet up.
00:01:59.740 | I'll figure out details, but keep an eye on Twitter.
00:02:02.300 | Let me know that you're in town
00:02:03.780 | or that you would like to connect,
00:02:05.060 | and we'll probably set something up
00:02:06.620 | once I know more details on my schedule.
00:02:09.340 | And we'll keep an eye on Twitter for that.
00:02:11.180 | That'll be the best way to connect.
00:02:13.300 | So forgive me, no show in the next couple of days,
00:02:15.620 | but I will be back with you as soon as possible.
00:02:18.060 | And again, if I can release some episodes while I'm there,
00:02:21.060 | I'll do that.
00:02:22.820 | And this will be good for the show.
00:02:24.460 | I plan to be doing a bunch of interviews
00:02:25.920 | while I'm out there, which I'll be able
00:02:27.000 | to bring you on the show.
00:02:28.320 | That's one reason among many why I've decided
00:02:30.920 | last minute to fly out there.
00:02:33.160 | The rest of you, if you would like,
00:02:34.840 | by the way, it's not just for you who are in Dallas.
00:02:36.960 | I invite you to connect on, if you're interested
00:02:39.640 | in seeing what's going on or interested in updates
00:02:41.320 | on what a financial advisor conference is like,
00:02:43.680 | connect on Twitter @joshuasheats.
00:02:45.800 | So twitter.com/joshuasheats is where you can find
00:02:48.680 | my personal Twitter handle.
00:02:50.080 | And also, just a quick note on that.
00:02:52.400 | How I generally use social media,
00:02:53.900 | I use the @radicalpf handle.
00:02:55.900 | That's just me.
00:02:56.740 | There's no team of people.
00:02:58.300 | That's always me on both of them at the moment.
00:03:00.380 | But I use the @radicalpf handle for specifically show stuff
00:03:04.340 | and episode announcements and topics
00:03:08.120 | that are specific to financial planning.
00:03:10.260 | And then @joshuasheats is my own personal Twitter handle,
00:03:15.260 | and I usually would just keep that.
00:03:17.620 | I don't know, I do some financial stuff every now and then.
00:03:19.900 | Sometimes I'll retweet something that I tweet for myself
00:03:22.920 | on Radical Personal Finance.
00:03:24.960 | I make the little loop.
00:03:26.120 | But I usually do keep those things separate.
00:03:28.280 | So feel free to follow me on both.
00:03:29.900 | If you're interested in the personal side of my life,
00:03:31.880 | @joshuasheats, I'd love to have you there.
00:03:34.200 | And also, feel free to connect.
00:03:36.520 | If you'd like to see pictures from the conference,
00:03:38.000 | things like that, connect with me on Facebook,
00:03:39.680 | my personal Facebook.
00:03:41.080 | You can find that at facebook.com/joshuasheats.
00:03:44.840 | And just, yeah, request a friend over there,
00:03:47.920 | and I'd love to be friends with all of you on there.
00:03:49.480 | If any of you would be interested.
00:03:51.260 | Same thing on Facebook, I use the Facebook fan page
00:03:55.220 | for the show to do the show info.
00:03:57.580 | And I don't know, I probably should be better
00:04:00.060 | at self-promotion, but I don't like to clutter up
00:04:01.840 | my own personal stuff with too much,
00:04:03.680 | with too much show stuff.
00:04:05.860 | I probably should do better every now and then I do,
00:04:07.860 | so I've been announcing the Patreon campaign there.
00:04:10.700 | I should probably do more of that.
00:04:12.020 | But feel free to connect with me on facebook.com/joshuasheats
00:04:15.300 | and then connect with the show,
00:04:16.140 | facebook.com/radicalpersonalfinance.
00:04:18.660 | And all that stuff, you can connect anywhere.
00:04:20.340 | So if you are in Dallas, I would like to meet you,
00:04:22.620 | no matter who you are, I would love to connect with you,
00:04:25.140 | and we'll work out a time that would work.
00:04:27.240 | So shoot a note to me on either Twitter
00:04:29.700 | or email me joshuatradicalpersonalfinance
00:04:31.980 | and we will connect.
00:04:33.300 | And then also, thank you for those of you
00:04:35.780 | who have been supporting the Patreon page.
00:04:37.940 | We are doing extremely well with that so far.
00:04:41.460 | As I record this right now on February 11th at 8.43 p.m.
00:04:46.540 | Eastern Standard Time, we have a current number
00:04:49.060 | of 26 patrons at $338 per month.
00:04:52.520 | And I thank each and every one of you.
00:04:56.140 | And I hope you don't mind, I don't wanna read through
00:04:57.860 | the whole list on the show.
00:04:59.460 | I think that would be repetitive for many people.
00:05:01.620 | But know that I read carefully your names
00:05:04.220 | and I thank you for your contributions.
00:05:06.420 | I really do.
00:05:07.280 | And I especially thank even those of you,
00:05:10.440 | trust me, a dollar a month is meaningful.
00:05:12.820 | If every member of this audience contributed $2 a month
00:05:16.460 | to the show, then we would be at the $6,000
00:05:19.740 | to keep the show ad-free forever.
00:05:21.140 | If every member, just $2 a month to the show,
00:05:23.780 | we're at $6,000 and then we're done
00:05:27.020 | and I'll announce it every now and then.
00:05:28.060 | But I won't kind of make this, do this public radio
00:05:31.220 | pledge drive thing that I seem to be doing right now.
00:05:34.980 | And if you are, forgive me, I'm working hard
00:05:39.640 | to kind of get those awards sent out
00:05:41.100 | and get everything processed and streamlined
00:05:43.700 | to connect on Facebook and give you,
00:05:45.540 | those of you who are at the irregulars level,
00:05:47.060 | give you access to the irregulars page
00:05:48.620 | where I've been spending a lot of time answering questions.
00:05:51.300 | And so we're working those out.
00:05:52.620 | I'll have those done to you in just as soon as I can.
00:05:55.140 | So thank you to each and every one of you.
00:05:57.180 | If you would like to contribute and you haven't yet,
00:05:59.700 | what we're doing is we're running a crowdfunding campaign
00:06:01.780 | to try to keep the show ad-free.
00:06:03.300 | I would love to do that for you all.
00:06:05.720 | Patreon.com/radicalpersonalfinance
00:06:08.300 | is where you can find all of those details.
00:06:10.900 | And that's it, I gotta go and pack.
00:06:12.740 | And I fly out at 5 a.m. tomorrow.
00:06:14.620 | Love to see any of you who are in Dallas tomorrow
00:06:16.780 | or the next couple of days.
00:06:18.060 | Reach out and let me know.
00:06:19.180 | Cheers, y'all, have a great night.
