“This isn’t a money course. This is a ‘What to do for the rest of your life course.’”
- Gary Sirak
About Gary:
I grew up in Canton, Ohio in the 1950s. At one point there were six of us living in a two-bedroom house. The earliest memories I have of my parents is of them sitting around the kitchen table. They weren’t eating. They were arguing, trying to figure out how to make ends meet. I remember seeing my mom with a stack of envelopes in front of her – one for each bill due – and she was shuffling money between them. I remember the tension in the room as she and my father were going back and forth about which bills to pay and which they could put off until next month.

About Max:
I also grew up in Canton, Ohio – only in 1980's and with far less arguments. Good job, mom and dad! Then - after school in the midwest - I made my way to the mountains and have been here ever since. It's a good life. I'm lucky. I've waited tables, bartended, and filled a passport cover-to-cover. More recently, it's writing, talking (podcasts), being on camera (YouTube), getting out and into nature, playing games, seeing music, taking good care of myself, and spending time with people I like. It's a simple, quiet life and suits me perfectly.
