Secret Academy Episode – JD Roth
You’ve heard the golden rule that ‘cash is king’ but unfortunately, we live in an age where credit cards and loans are easily accessible to the public. It should be no surprise that most citizens live their lives paying off debt ranging from student loans, to unnecessary credit card bills, and even essentials like rent or mortgages. The concept of paying off debt is quite simple but the reality is that most people spend more than they care to save. JD Roth was in the same position early in his professional career and realized his spending habits accrued to $35k in unwanted debt. Realizing the path he was going down, JD quickly made some lifestyle changes to cut his debt quickly and efficiently. While doing so, JD documented his money saving tips at a blog called GetRichSlowly.org that gained the attention of other readers in similar situations. Over the years, not only did JD pay off his debt, his blog became an authority in personal finance and grew to over 1 million visitors a month, allowing him to earn a significant amount of money each month that rivaled his previous annual salary at his day job. Three years later, Get Rich Slowly was acquired for a large sum of money by QuinStreet. Today JD spends his time teaching others financial freedom and personal finance through his Get Rich Slowly Course.

Secret Academy Episode – Andy Frisella
Humble beginnings could not have been more true for Andy Frisella. While walking with a friend one night, Andy was attacked and stabbed multiple times across the face and back while defending his friend from hecklers. Luckily, Andy recovered from this near fatal attack and found a new sense of urgency along with purpose. Andy pooled together $12,000 with his friend and started the very first Supplement Superstores location in Missouri. With every penny invested in his business, Andy had no choice but to live in the store while taking on second jobs just to run the business and survive. Slowly but surely the business started to pick up over the years, as well as profits, once expanded to multiple locations including another 50+ planned for 2015.
