In Episode 145 You'll Learn:

1. Why did Danielle want to write Invested?
   1. Nobody has really talked about the emotional journey or roadblocks of investing, which plays a huge role.
   2. The book starts from the "I don't know what to do (financially) anymore, but something must change" perspective that Danielle was in with student loans and a high cost of living.
   3. Even though money isn't everything, financial freedom allows you to create a foundational baseline for you to focus on what truly makes you happy.
2. Guy Spier: His portfolio is about 30-40 stocks large, but he still has more than 50% (about two-thirds) within his top 5, which qualifies him as a Rule #1 Style Investor.
