Taking a Hiatus
<p>No new episode today, in fact I am taking a hiatus from the podcast for a while. </p><p>One of the best things about being financially independent is the flexibility it provides. </p><p>I have some travel planned this year as well as some other projects I want to give my time and energy, </p><p>so it’s time to take a break from the pod for the time being. </p><p>I am very grateful for all of you that have been listening, </p><p>and I hope you’ve found some value in the conversations. </p><p>Thank you very much for your support. </p><p><br></p><p>If you haven’t already, I encourage you to visit my YouTube channel under my name, Dominic DeLaquil. https://www.youtube.com/@DominicDeLaquil</p><p>Later this month, I’m wrapping up a comprehensive </p><p>12-week video series. </p><p>It’s a step-by-step guide designed to help families create the specific habits and skills needed to reach financial freedom.</p><p>Here’s what you can expect from the series:</p><p><strong>Short and Actionable:</strong> Each video is only 5 to 10 minutes long, perfectly sized for a busy parent.</p><p><strong>Family-Focused:</strong> While the principles apply to anyone interested in the path to financial freedom, this series places a heavy emphasis on helping parents build habits for themselves and their kids.</p><p>So, please head over to YouTube, search for Dominic DeLaquil, and check out that 12-week series. </p><p>It makes a nice, practical, step-by-step compliment to the conversations here on the FI for Kids podcast. </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DominicDeLaquil" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@DominicDeLaquil</a></p><p><a href="https://dominicdelaquil.com/" rel="nofollow">https://dominicdelaquil.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Thank you again for tuning in and for building a foundation of financial independence for your family. </p><br/><br/>Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/fi-for-kids/donations'>https://redcircle.com/fi-for-kids/donations</a>
