Doug chats with Carl & Rusty about a classic debate in the FI community – DIY vs. outsourcing.  They discuss situations when outsourcing makes sense, emphasizing intentionality, buying back time, overcoming psychological hurdles of hiring help, and avoiding letting outside forces rewrite core values.
