On today's episode, I'm joined by my friend Nirav Shah. Nirav is a certified mindfulness meditation teacher, and he started the meditation blog, meditativeman.org. After retiring at the age of 49 from a career in technology.
Nirav is extremely passionate about helping people find the elusive peace within and to that end has recently written and released a book called Shortcut to Serenity (https://amzn.to/3KGSLri) .
In today's conversation we discuss:
• How Nirav retired early from his career in technology
• What led Nirav to give up his successful business to retire early
• What Nirav is up to in retirement
• Why generosity and philanthropy are so powerful
• "The Mexican Fisherman Story"
• What is enough?
• Nirav's thoughts on "Generational Wealth"
• The importance of financial literacy
• Second generation financial independence
