On today\u2019s episode of the Financial Independence Podcast, I interview a serial entrepreneur who has achieved financial independence three different ways!

You\u2019d think that selling a company to Google or buying San Francisco real estate before prices went crazy would be the best way to reach financial independence but that\u2019s not been the case for today\u2019s guest, Chris Hutchins from Grove.

Although he\u2019s done all of those things, Chris shares how consistent saving actually impacted his net worth more than anything else.

This episode is packed full of useful information, especially if plan to start your own business or want to do something meaningful after early retirement, so hope you enjoy it!
