This week on Full Nelson, we talk about the new espresso machine we bought and trace back through the quietly insane amount of money we've spent on coffee appliances over the years. It starts with a $30 frother and ends with a full-blown barista setup, but the point is bigger than coffee.
We break down how small lifestyle upgrades add up and how the same principle applies to building a legacy. We get into the long-term vision for our family, what we want our life to look like ten or twenty years from now, and how you can start planning for the future you want even if you live in a downtown high-rise with no land and no space.
Inside this episode:
• The slow creep of "just one more coffee gadget"
• Smart financial decisions that compound over time
• How to think legacy even if you're not in your forever home
• How to choose a partner who actually wants the same future you do
• Tim's hunting trip, shooting a deer, and the reverence in the full-circle process of taking an animal's life and honouring it through food
• Why the "circle of life" conversation matters more than people think
It's one of our most grounded conversations yet.
Part marriage, part money, part family planning, part espresso-fuelled chaos. If you're dreaming of a long-game life built intentions and thoughtfully, this episode will feel like a blueprint.
