This isn’t your typical brainstorm between healthcare experts. No, this is a supercharged session between two minds that work in similar, but very disparate industries. Our guests talk about a broad challenge they face, and discuss how they’ve approached the problem in their respective fields. The magic? To see how their approaches to a challenge can be applied to another industry to spark new avenues of innovation. This series is all about creating synergy between to different, but very like-minded healthcare and tech experts. In our first episode, we welcome our Chief Digital Officer, Aaron Martin, and Brandon Krieg, who is the Founder and CEO of Stash Invest to discuss how they’ve approached better serving underserved consumers in their respective industries. Medicaid serves over 66 million Americans who often have challenges accessing healthcare. Many of them go to the ER to treat common, low-acuity conditions, but technology can change that.

Brandon Krieg is the CEO and co-founder of Stash - the financial platform revolutionizing the way millions of Americans save and invest for their future. Brandon has been recognized by Goldman Sachs as one of 2018’s “100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs,” and Stash was highlighted by Forbes’ “Fintech 50 2018”  as well as the Wall Street Journal as one of the "Top Tech Companies to Watch in 2018." Prior to Stash, Brandon spent +15 years in financial services, most recently at Macquarie Securities Group.

Thinking he would be a chef after college, Brandon quickly took a job at a trading firm. After learning to love fintech, he then saw a huge problem in consumer finance and set out to build what’s now Stash which he calls the consumer finance company of the future.

It's our 50th episode of the podcast! Thanks for listening! Maybe you dream of starting your own business, but you don’t know exactly how to break out of cubicle culture, or your current job. On this episode of Teach Me How to Money, we talk to Stash CEO and co-founder Brandon Krieg about how he got the idea to launch a new kind of financial services company, and how the best businesses—including Stash—help to solve customer problems.

The first thing that Brandon does for more success is shift his mindset. Rather than think of people as “motivated sellers” he prefers to think of them as “people that need help”. He has just about every form of finding deals; driving for dollars, direct mail, skip tracing, bird dogging, and SEO, but says that the best deals often times come from word of mouth and his network.

Hey Chainers!   Welcome to the first ever episode of Chain of Wealth!   We’re so excited to get going and start sharing awesome free actionable financial advice that is relevant to everyone.   One of the topics where there is a massive disconnect in society and definitely something that the average person does not know enough about it (unless you’re a financial professional) is Wealth.   Thus - Chain of Wealth was born with the vision and mission to provide daily actionable free financial advice through interviewing people that have excelled and done something extraordinary.   This very first episode, or Episode 0, is just Denis & Katie. We’ll chat a bit about ourselves and the plan is just to discuss a bit about the podcast and give information about how best to use the website.   Ok so firstly, let’s dive into the Podcast itself, why a Wealth Podcast and what is the Chain of Wealth?   Quite simply put, there is a massive amount of information available these days on the internet and there are some really awesome people out there creating content and achieving their financial dreams.   The disconnect occurs in that this information is scattered all over the place, and unless you know exactly what you’re looking, it can take you ages to research and find it.   At the time we’re recording this, the US national debt is over 20 trillion dollars, and while it isn’t necessarily Joe Average’s debt, it definitely speaks to the economy as a whole.   Student debt is also at its highest level ever and people are starting their working careers with a massive debt already owning, pushing out their retirement and making it much harder for people to succeed.   In life, some of the most important things you’ll ever do financially you are not adequately prepared for, such as buying a house, car, saving for retirement and many other financial decisions.     The podcast and blog is a way to address this issue and help people make a massive difference in their lives.   This is one of the major reasons we decided to create the Chain of Wealth Podcast- to provide a free platform to educate people and provide financial advice.   So let’s dive into Chain of Wealth itself, what is the Chain of Wealth and who are the Chainers?   The Chain of Wealth is the hosts, interviewees and all our listeners. We all link together and leverage off each other to provide a network of knowledge, resources and a community where honest information is provided to help each other.   Chainers are our listeners and everyone that is part of our community.   Awesome! So we’ve gone through the basics, but now let’s get into introductions!   Let’s chat about Denis – Originally from South Africa, CA(SA), 5 years of working experience in Corporate in an extremely wide variety of industries and countries.   Let’s chat about Katie- Grew up in Tampa, Florida, 2nd Grade School Teacher, trying to learn more about the financial world and already done some big financial things, got student debt, bought and sold a house and bought a car.   We’ve already interviewed some leading inspirational people such as David Weliver from Money Under 30, Jackie Ruka from GetHappyZone, Brandon Krieg from Stash Invest and many, many other leaders in their respective industries!   The podcast will run from Monday to Friday and the structure will be an interview based podcast. Episodes will range from 15 to 30 minutes long and so will be perfect for most people who go about their weekly routine.   Now let’s talk about the format of the interview – each interview for Chain of Wealth undergoes a rigorous research process and questions asked in the main part of the interview. It is designed to get the most important information out of our guests and answer some questions that we might have.   After that we have a short break and then dive right into the value link round.   The value link round is a lightning round where we extract even more value bombs from our guests and finally end with some parting advice and how you can get in touch with our guests should you wish to do that.   Each and every interview will have a show notes page on our website which is probably where you want to go if you’re looking for a quick recap of the interview as a whole. To access the show notes page, you can either search for the interview or you can browse through the podcast page.   We also use timestamps in our show notes which are totally awesome! What it means is that if you click on the green links it’ll jump right into that portion of the audio clip so you can listen to our guests’ responses super quickly and easily.   There are also links to all the resources that get discussed in the show which provides an amazing platform and a huge amount of value as you can click directly through to what they are talking about.   Definitely check out the website chainofwealth.com there is really some awesome material on there. Check out the podcast page and Katie’s blogs about her journey to getting out of $30,000 in student loan debt from a public Florida university.   Speaking about the website, we’ve also going to add really great guides and content. As an example we’ve written a debt guide for you to check out – chainofwealth.com/debt which is completely FREE.   Anyway, we’re pumped to get going and super excited for our first two guest, Jackie Ruka and Matt DeCoursey   We love comments and questions that you leave, so don’t be shy.
