Dan Sheeks, owner and founder of Sheeks Freaks, an online community helping young people live their best lives by making smart money decisions, joins the Journey To Launch podcast to talk about his passion for helping teenagers get on the path to become millionaires.
Achieving early financial independence is an option most people don’t know even exist, which is why Dan spends his career making financial freedom education available to Gen Z and High Schoolers.
We chat about his new book, “First to a Million: A Teenager’s Guide to Achieving Early Financial Independence”, how to convince teens to care about money (hint: you can’t), and why the American Dream needs a perspective shift.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Dan’s definition of financial independence and financial freedom
- The power of learning about financial independence early and showing the next generation that it’s possible
- Roth IRAs, 401ks, taxable investments, and the best option for just getting started in the world of investing
- Convincing Gen Z to care about their financial future, a case study in early financial independence, + “planting the seed”
- The four mechanisms of early financial independence + more
