Ian Carswell is a friend, mentor, and a living example that you can write your own story. He retired at 39—not because he stopped working, but because he no longer had to trade time for someone else’s dollar.
In this episode, we rewind to Ian’s early hustles—reselling deformed gummy bears, mowing lawns, and running backyard carnivals. He shares how he reached FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early), what poker taught him about making decisions with incomplete info, and the underrated superpower of setting clear goals.
For Ian, wealth isn’t just money. It's about health, fun, purpose, and relationships—and about actively creating and living your best life while single and becoming the kind of person someone amazing would want to meet.
We talk entrepreneurship, real estate, cheat codes that can transform your life, rethinking your tribe, and much more…
