  • Anna’s StartEngine opportunity closes on Monday, February 24th, 2025 at midnight Pacific Time.
    • Once it’s closed, you can no longer invest.
    • If you are not interested in investing, you can show support by buying Anna’s products.
    • You can invest in Eat Happy Kitchen through her website and StartEngine.
      • Details are at Eat Happy Kitchen. https://eathappykitchen.com/
  • Boycotting doesn’t always work like people think it does. (3:00)
    • A beer manufacturer is an example.

  • Vinnie often gets asked what the best piece of fitness equipment to buy. (22:45)
    • The answer is: the one you will use.
    • Peloton was a marketing masterpiece. (25:00)
    • If you get a spinner, be sure your saddle is also the right fit. (28:00)
  • You can find fitness equipment that is gently used on Facebook Marketplace and online.
  • A treadmill is probably the best out of the three because it is also a weight-bearing exercise.
  • Echo bike or rowing machine: choose whatever you will use the most. (35:00)
  • More variety can benefit you better.
  • Rucksacks are great too. (38:00)
  • At the gym, stair machines and treadmills are great. (40:30)
  • The very best form of treadmill, however, is the big outdoors, if you can do it. Fresh air and nature are awesome! (43:00)
