When someone thinks about committing fraud, they're likely thinking about the financial benefits that can come from it.  What goes through a person's mind in the moments leading up to and during a fraudulent act? Is it about the money or is it more?   Our next guest, former licensed mortgage broker and now true crime author Matthew Cox was declared as “one of the most prolific mortgage fraud con artists of all time,” by CNBC's American Greed. In this episode, Matt and I discuss his mindset around money before, during, and after his time in prison.  He sheds some light on how perpetrators rationalize their behavior and what motivated him to commit fraud.   Matt's criminal case received national media attention after he used forgeries, combined with stolen and synthetic identities to swindle America's biggest banks out of an estimated $55 million. Despite numerous encounters with bank security, state and federal authorities, Cox narrowly, and quite luckily, avoided capture for nearly a decade. Eventually he topped the Secret Service's most wanted list, and led the U.S. Marshals, FBI, and the Secret Service on a three-year chase, while jet-setting around the world.   Matt is a published author of several popular true crime books, including: Shark in the Housing Pool, Once a Gun Runner, Generation Oxy, Bent, and It's Insanity.

    College can be a scary prospect, especially when it comes to budgeting for it. How much is tuition? How much should I save up each month? What can I live without? What other options do you have? These are all valid questions that require careful consideration.   Have you ever considered living and studying abroad? Our next guest, Liza-Jean Miezejeski is an international student currently living in Brussels, Belgium, and grew up 4,000 miles away in a small town in Connecticut, USA. ​ Liza has traveled to 60 cities (give or take) in 23 countries across Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. And did it all it all while studying abroad and on a student budget. Unfortunately for Liza, Google didn't have all the answers for navigating life as a student in a different country and now, Liza has become a go to resource for many young adults wanting to learn more about the ins and outs of studying and living abroad. ​ In this episode, Liza and I discuss the path less travelled when it comes to going to college. She explains how she was able to attend an international college in a foreign country, obtain a degree for much less that it would cost in her home country, and at the same time, immerse herself in a different culture.   Start thinking outside the border and awaken your inner spirit for adventure.
