I had the opportunity to connect with JD Roth, one of the most well-known personal Finance bloggers in the industry while I was in Charlotte, NC at #FinCon15.

We had a great interview. 

We talked in detail about JD’s personal story with finance and how he set out to Get Rich Slowly–and wound up getting rich fast.

We also talk about the great things and not-so-great things that resulted from the journey!

Enjoy the interview!
