Kristy Shen & Bryce Leung: Quit Like A Millionaire | FRLP 95
In this episode of the Fit Rich Life Podcast, I sit down with Kristy Shen and Bryce Leung, the duo behind Millennial Revolution and authors of the international bestseller Quit Like a Millionaire. Kristy and Bryce retired in their early 30s and have spent the last decade proving that financial independence isn’t just possible — it’s transformational.
We dive into their journey from radically different upbringings — Kristy growing up in deep poverty in China and Bryce raised in a middle-class Canadian family — and how those experiences shaped their worldview, money decisions, and path to FI.
They share how financial independence gave them the freedom to navigate some of life’s hardest moments, including the loss of Bryce’s father while Kristy was giving birth, and how FI allowed them to be fully present for the people they love.
This conversation challenges traditional beliefs about homeownership, career identity, and what “retirement” actually means.
We also touch on their next book, Parent Like a Millionaire (Without Being One), where they reveal practical strategies for raising kids with intention — without overspending.
This episode is an inspiring conversation about money, purpose, freedom, and designing a life on your own terms.
Episode 95 is available on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, and wherever you enjoy your podcast entertainment.
