Build YOUR 15 Year Career, with Kiersten and Julien Saunders
When Kiersten and Julian Saunders began dating in 2012, they fell in love quickly, and their relationship felt strong – until they started talking about money.
They broke up as a result of their first money conversation.
Luckily, they got back together, figured out how to have tough conversations, and paid off $200,000 in debt over the next five years.
Then they started thinking about how to hack their careers. They came up with a plan for a 15-year career.
Today, they join us on the podcast to talk about the 15-year career framework and how to approach your career – and your finances – in 5 year stints.
