  • There seems to be some sort of encoding/video issue with today's episode that makes it look like you've got some kind of gnarly skin disease. Doesn't seem to be a problem on the HD version however.
  • Hey J-man,

    LOL, gnarly skin disease was a perfect description :) Vimeo's been acting weird lately, maybe it has something to do with all the updates they've been pushing live to the site.

    Thanks for the heads-up though! We are re-compressing the video and updating the Vimeo upload.

    Cheers.

    hey, i've been enjoying your videos a lot. are you going to get into buying individual stocks at some point?
  • Hi sfkid,

    Glad you've been enjoying the videos. We will eventually discuss buying individual stocks. However it may not be for a little while.

    I've recently had some pressing personal issues (nothing bad... actually quite good). I will be release a video soon to update everyone.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding!

  • Hi Thai,

    That really means a lot. Super humbling. Thanks so much for your support!

    Unfortunately TWTBW is on permanent hiatus. I hope to find the time to being it back soon. Or at least do some additional episodes that I've been wanting to produce.

    I'm grateful to have been able to, at the very least, share some fundamental insights that most people can prosper from.

    Until next time :)

    Cheers,

    Ethan

    I can't wait for more episodes! It would be great (but this is kinda out of the scope of what you have been doing) if you had an episode for financial planning when you are in college when you don't have money already saved up (like me), and how to manage it all. I really hope you start making new episodes!
  • Hi Andrew,

    In regards to college finance I would take a look at my friends http://www.hackcollege.com/ they don't solely focus on finance, but they do discuss it.

    In addition it's an all around great blog for college students.

    Feel free to send me any direct questions at ethan (at) thewaytobuildwealth.org
