Case study

That was easy because there's booking.com and an app to help me plan that.

You've been a big part of this one, actually, because one of the things we do at Camp Fi is case studies, right, where people get naked financially in front of their peers and share their numbers and have questions that they want answered and get – information, knowledge, reassurance.

A lot of people want to know if they are FI, and tell us about the case studies.

Yeah, the case studies are really fun.

In fact, actually, I did my own case study where I was presenting my numbers back in 23 at Rocky Mountain, and that definitely really changed my life with the Choose Fi and the giving concept that we may get into.

And I've been on the panel three times.

And I was like, I will help you build your slides.

And so, yeah, I helped her build her slides, and I was on the panel here, and we had two other people confirm that the advice I gave her was okay.

And if you do borrow money, it does cost you money as well.

Well, I'm so grateful that you come on the show for Case Study Sunday.

It's so important that people who listen to the podcast come on, share their stories because they happen to build the community that we go in here.

And I really like to show people that this isn't just Andrew and myself yabbering to one another.

We're looking more at what got smacked with an excellent breakdown from Glenn Gabe.

Glenn wrote this article, Google's August 2026 spam update, scaled content abuse, AI content, programmatic content, thin affiliates, and more case studies.

And so I read through this whole thing and I picked out my favorite parts from this excellent article.

Let's go.

Three to four hours, we can present it, yes.

Yeah, and so that's presentation material, and then you mentioned examples or case studies, too.

Are those under development?

So, yeah, no, that would be probably a next step.

And like you say, we're going to look at and break down those barriers as much as we do for... any client and as a fundamental that, you know, we are looking to solve problems and a lot of problems will sort of appear in different forums to, to different people.

But, you know, as you say, we're setting this all out tonight with these type of people in mind to, to give that sort of case study and just show that it can be done.

Absolutely can be done.

And you don't need to spend 15 hours in the gym.

You don't need to get up and, cook steak and eggs in the morning you don't need to want it bad you know things can coexist and that's you know the message that we get across and I'm sure you've had that multiple times Francis with people in this demographic that you can show them the way forward and help them again with support accountability and all the things it takes to to get them to that spot whether that's you know i want to see the abs or i used to be a 30 inch waist i'm pushing a 38 at the moment probably carrying you know maybe 40 pounds more than i should and i really need to get back to that or i want to get to here because i want more years in life we know that having more muscle tissue and being strong is what helps us live longer and not only just live longer, but quality in those years that we have.

And I think it's a fantastic goal.

So if we solidify the person or the example of the case study then, so let's just say a 40-year-old man, he's got three kids, he travels, let's say, you've got a month and he travels two weeks every month for work.

If he's in the US, he's in different states, different cities, whatever it may be, he travels a fair bit for work.
