The Magic of the EconoMe Conference and Community with Diania Merriam

In this episode of The Extreme Personal Finance Show, Chris sits down with Diania Merriam, founder of the EconoMe Conference and host of Optimal Finance Daily.

Diania shares her inspiring journey from racking up $30,000 in debt while living large in New York City, to discovering the FIRE movement, and eventually creating one of the most electric gatherings in personal finance.

We dig into:

• How Diania’s Camino walk at 30 sparked her debt-free journey
• The creative and fun ways she paid off debt without feeling deprived
• Why Mr. Money Mustache changed her money mindset
• The story behind launching the EconoMe Conference and its explosive growth
• Why human connection is the missing link in your path to financial freedom
