Who Is Mr. Refined?
So you may have noticed some pictures of me popping up on social media and in promotional materials for expo events such as FinCon. The cat is out of the bag. After so many speaking roles my image is out there and I am fully ready to own it! This decision comes with a great breath of relief for a public-facing content creator. For years, I have kept my image off this site and off social media at great effort. After this last speaking role at FinCon, several more planned speaking roles and my interview with CNBC and Acorns.com, the jig is up. Heck, if you want to see my discussion panel video all you have to do is get the FinCon19 Virtual Pass. It is time to see who Mr. Refined is.
The Physician on FIRE was also kind enough to give me a mention in his Sunday Best edition on 9/08/2019 for his appreciation of some of my resources on my site, namely, A Consolidated Consortium of Collated Collectables.
What you can expect going forward? You can expect a lot more pictures on this site now that my image is revealed.
Why Bruce Wayne Doesn’t Talk About Batman
Given that I actively bash the corporate American business model and culture, while still not free of the bondage of being a wage slave working for a fixed rate W-2 job, I thought it best to keep my blog and identity under wraps until such a time as I could afford to jeopardize the corporate career course. However, the FIRE Movement works so well at wealth accumulation that that time has come far earlier than expected for me.
We all know that the employee quadrant (W-2 corporate wage slave) is the worst and slowest of the four quadrants of income (employee, small business, large business, and investing) and certainly not one of the four paths to wealth (equities [like stocks and bond,] entrepreneurship, real estate, and alternatives) which produce far better results. Don’t worry I have an article in the works to explain the power of these coming soon.
My hope for you is that you can take a career risk soon too and transition up the hierarchy of wealth creation.
