From Deep in Debt to Fit Rich Life | MHFI 204

Doug and Carl chat with Justin David Carl, a fitness, money, and life coach also known as Dragon.  Justin shares his journey from being heavily in debt and out of shape to becoming financially independent and physically fit.  He discusses the dramatic career changes he made, his discovery of the financial independence movement, and how coaching & accountability played a crucial role in his success.  Additionally, Justin explains his coaching philosophy, ‘Fit Rich Life’, and the importance of setting clear goals, tracking progress, and surrounding oneself with people who share similar aspirations.
