How should Christians steward money in the end times without fear, greed, or confusion?In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with author and Bible teacher Steve Wohlberg to talk about biblical money stewardship and why financial wisdom matters now more than ever. Many believers struggle with the tension between preparing for the future and trusting God fully—especially when Scripture reminds us that Jesus is coming soon.We unpack how financial stress impacts mental health, physical well-being, and even relationships, and why ignoring money doesn't make us more spiritual. Steve shares why the Bible calls us to both be ready and occupy until Christ returns, and how wise financial decisions can actually bring greater peace, clarity, and freedom to serve others.If you've ever felt uneasy talking about money in church, overwhelmed by finances, or unsure how to plan while keeping your faith first, this conversation will give you practical insight and biblical encouragement you can actually use.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:25] Topic and Guest Introduction[05:05] Steve's Wake-Up Call About Retirement & Stewardship[09:39] The Interconnection of Health and Finances[12:27] Giving vs. Earning: Why Both Matter Biblically[14:12] How Steve Manages and Learn About Finance[16:40] Two Pillars of Truth[18:05] The Love of Money vs. Wise Stewardship[21:22] End-Times Economics: Buying, Selling & Control[23:10] Why Financial Peace Improves Longevity[25:16] Practical Steps for Financial Health[27:20] Investing Wisely for the Future[30:17] Building Wealth for Kingdom Work[33:45] The 10 Commandments & Financial Wisdom[37:40] Why This Book Is a Missionary Tool[39:30] Conclusion and ResourcesResources mentioned:Get your copy of Be Wise With Your Money in These End Times by Steve W.

Joining us in this episode of Living Off Rentals is returning guest Dustin Heiner, real estate investor, coach, and founder of Master Passive Income. Dustin has been on the show more times than any other guest, and for good reason.  After getting laid off from his government job, he began buying rental properties with a clear focus on cash flow.

In this conversation, Dustin shares why income, not net worth, is the real path to freedom.  He breaks down how delayed gratification, intentional use of time, and serving others helped him build a life centered on faith, family, and impact.  Listen and enjoy the show!

After 600 episodes and nine years of interviewing Colorado’s most successful real estate investors, podcast host Chris Lopez shares the five most important Colorado real estate investing lessons he’s learned—lessons that fundamentally changed how he builds portfolios, navigates market cycles, and adapts investment strategy. Since launching July 7, 2017, Chris has interviewed hundreds of Colorado investors: deca-millionaires who built massive portfolios, investors who survived the 2008 crash and rebuilt stronger, and specialists in lending, insurance, and property management who understand market mechanics better than anyone. This milestone episode distills nearly a decade of accumulated Colorado real estate investing lessons into actionable insights for investors at any experience level. The biggest revelation? Real estate moves far slower than most investors anticipate. Chris shares why he called the 2022 market top correctly, sold multiple residential properties, and shifted capital into multifamily and private lending—but still underestimated how long market corrections take to play out. He reveals why “I’d rather be a day late than a day early” became his investing mantra and what Brian Burke’s quote about “time to sit on the beach” taught him about patience. Chris also addresses the Colorado-specific challenges reshaping local investing: property insurance costs now rank second-highest in the nation (behind only Florida), legislative headwinds continue reducing investor demand, and the growth wave from 2012-2023 has definitively ended. These trends require completely different strategies than what worked five years ago, making these Colorado real estate investing lessons more relevant than ever. In This Episode We Cover: Why consistency over 15-20 years beats trying to time perfect market entry How market cycles never repeat exactly—multifamily crashed while residential held in 2022-2025 The five-step framework for adapting strategy when both markets and personal life change Why looking at 50-year interest rate trends reveals patterns 10-year data misses How Chris’s portfolio strategy evolved from single investor to family man with three daughters What diversifying across asset classes and capital stack positions protected during volatility Why Colorado insurance and legislative trends now require different underwriting than 2019 Whether you started listening in 2017 or discovered the podcast recently, this episode offers perspective you can’t get anywhere else: the accumulated wisdom of 600 conversations with the people who’ve actually built wealth through Colorado real estate. Chris shares not just what worked, but what he got wrong and how he adapted—delivering Colorado real estate investing lessons that only come from nine years of interviews and real market experience.

Let help uncork your memoir through a 12 week memoir mentorship program: https://mikecarlon.com/memoir-cohorts/ “People can see themselves in Jane's journey — that everyday person who realizes they can build wealth by investing in entrepreneurs.” In this episode of Uncorking a Story, Mike welcomes back Karen Rands, leader of the Compassionate Capitalist Movement and author of Inside Secrets to Crowdfund Investing. Karen shares how her decades in angel investing inspired her newest book, a relatable, story‑driven guide that follows “Jane,” a fictional but very real composite of the many people yearning for a smarter, more meaningful way to invest. Karen breaks down the wealth‑building power of equity crowdfunding, why everyday people (not just the ultra‑wealthy) can become investors, and how purpose, passion, and profit can, and should, align in your investment strategy. Key Themes: Angel investing isn't as exclusive as people think. Karen explains that despite being around for 80+ years, most people — even wealthy professionals — have never heard of angel investing or equity crowdfunding. Her newest book teaches through storytelling. Unlike her dense first book, Karen's new one follows “Jane,” a fictional every-person who learns how to invest responsibly and thoughtfully in entrepreneurs. Crowdfund investing is accessible. You don't need $25K checks to get started — many platforms allow investments as small as $100 to $2,000, making it a real option for non‑accredited investors. Diversification is the secret weapon. Karen warns that the “kiss of death” is investing in only a few deals. Building a portfolio across stages, industries, and structures is essential. Emotion kills good decision‑making. Her advice: don't chase excitement. Learn the fundamentals, understand your criteria, and avoid investing purely on impulse. Anyone can start learning — today. From her book to her crowdfunding e‑book, upcoming webinars, and the new Compassionate Capitalist Academy, Karen offers plenty of ways to get educated.

Fear you'll never be able to invest in real estate because of money, credit, or bad timing? This single mom lost her house and had a 200 credit score, yet she was still able to rebuild her life and buy rental properties. If she can find a way to build wealth, so can YOU! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Just months before the 2008 housing market crash, Sarah Weatherbee found herself unable to make her mortgage payments. So, she rented out her home, moved to Nicaragua, and lived off the rental income until the dust settled. Unfortunately, shortly after returning to the U.S., she lost her home. The silver lining? Although things hadn't panned out, Sarah had been given a small taste of what it's like to own a rental property—with someone paying down your mortgage for you—and was determined to own real estate again one day. And that's exactly what she did by buckling down, rebuilding her credit, and stashing away money for her next property. Fast forward to today, and Sarah has bought multiple properties with low money down. Stay tuned as she shares the investing strategy she uses to do it! In This Episode We Cover How Sarah rebuilt her credit and bought real estate again after losing her home Making over $130,000 in pure profit from ONE real estate deal The investing strategy that allows you to buy multiple properties with low money down When to move to another area of the country to invest in real estate The one reason why Sarah didn't quit real estate investing after failure And So Much More!

If you've ever wondered what's the difference between just saving money versus creating wealth that actually matters, this conversation is for you.   In this episode, I'm joined by Lauren Oschman, founder of Vestia Personal Wealth Advisors, who grew up watching her interventional cardiologist father work incredibly hard while struggling to balance wealth building with being present at home. That experience shaped her entire approach to financial planning, which she now brings to nearly 600 physician families across the country. We're talking about how to identify what actually matters to you financially, the myths that keep high-earning women from taking control of their finances, and why you don't need to have your act together before working with a financial advisor.   Lauren and I discuss what financial advisors actually do beyond managing investments, the difference between saving money and strategically building wealth, and the biggest missed opportunities she sees among high earners. We get into practical strategies around tax planning over your lifetime, contract negotiation, and estate planning. We also talk about green flags and red flags when choosing a financial advisor and why dual physician households need different approaches to tax strategy. Whether you're just starting to think about wealth building or refining your financial strategy, this conversation offers insights and advice you can actually use.   Get full show notes and transcript: www.pointmetofirstclass.com/financial-planning-wealth-building-lauren-oschman   Want to shape the show?

Gerald Peters delivers a hard-hitting wake-up call to erase the myth that others are inherently superior, kill excuses, and stop waiting for permission or perfect timing. He breaks success down into three steps: believe you are enough, overcome fear and doubt, and take immediate, consistent action to build income and lasting assets. Peters shares his own story of buying properties and building wealth, urges listeners to start projects now, study, and persist, and points to free resources (ebook and training) to help you begin creating a second income stream.

What you'll learn What's changed for Dave since your first interview (platform growth, book, content, community) Why "collaboration over scarcity" is becoming the new standard in the laundromat world How modern laundromats are being built and operated differently than the old-school model The shift from "no info" to "too much info" — and how owners filter hype from truth The business "levels" (zombie mats → plain Jane → modernized) and how value is created Why scaling is easier now (tools, systems, vendors, and operational playbooks) Why laundromats got mainstream attention (essential business, recession resistance, COVID ripple effects) What still makes laundromats a strong cash-flow asset class today — and where the opportunity still is The real reason owners struggle: weak KPI tracking, messy books, and cash chaos Curtis's "Wealth Without Leaks" angle: plug the money leaks so scaling creates real wealth   Episode Highlights 00:00:13 - Laundromat: The Best Small Business 00:01:14 - Elevating the Laundromat Industry 00:03:04 - Sharing Secrets for Industry Growth 00:05:08 - Transformation Through Networking 00:07:00 - Building Wealth and New Ventures 00:09:56 - Launching the Laundromat Millionaire Show 00:12:00 - Industry's Digital Evolution 00:18:10 - Tech and Investment in Modern Laundromats 00:24:24 - Ultimate Shift: Full-Service Laundries 00:30:30 - Scaling Through Multiple Revenue Streams 00:39:13 - Serving a Broader Customer Base 00:43:40 - Measuring Employee and Customer Satisfaction 00:51:55 - The Pitfalls of Buying Laundromats 00:58:15 - Future Expansion and Coaching 01:04:24 - Servitude as a Form of Capitalism   Episode resources: Take the Next Step with Curtis May: Business Owners: Assess Your Challenges with Cash Flow → https://curtis-73no5r8j.scoreapp.com Private Banking Readiness Assessment → https://curtis-qljorw8q.scoreapp.com How Ready Are You to Be Your Own Bank? → https://curtis-hzw1jezd.scoreapp.com   Keywords Practical Wealth Show   Curtis May   Laundromat Millionaire   Small Business   Queens City Laundry   Cincinnati   Elevate Industry   Networking   Collaboration   Best Practices   Wealth Building   Technology in Laundromats   Laundromat Millionaire: The Grit to Elevate an Industry   AI in Laundromats   Public Speaking   Book Publication   Industry Networking   Laundry Chain Scaling   Laundromat Operations   Servitude Mindset   Business Optimization   Wash-Dry-Fold Business   Commercial Accounts   Investing in Laundromats   Essential Industries   Recession Resistant   Private Equity in Laundromats   Business Valuation   Expansion Opportunities   Investment Strategies   Business Coaching   Financial Strategy   Infinite Banking   Velocity of Money   Multiple Revenue Streams   Customer Service   Employee Satisfaction   Revenue Growth   Positive Reviews   Podcasting   Content Creation   Media Presence   Global Influence   Community Service   Full-service Laundry Center   Pickup and Delivery Innovation   Operational Efficiency   Customer Retention   Strategic Partnerships   Professional Development   Industry Trends   Podcast Advertising   Market Research  

In this episode of The Grow Your Wealthy Mindset, we take a practical look at the differences between working as a 1099 independent contractor and a W-2 employed physician — and how each option affects your income, taxes, autonomy, and long-term wealth.Whether you're thinking about locums, considering a new job offer, or re-evaluating your career path, this episode gives you a clear framework to make a confident, informed decision. What You'll Learn• Why more physicians are now employedWe explore the shift from physician-owned practices to hospital systems and private equity groups and how this change has impacted compensation, autonomy, and burnout. • What it really means to be a 1099 physicianWe break down the core advantages (flexibility, tax deductions, higher earning potential) and the challenges (buying your own health insurance, managing variable income, handling self-employment taxes). • The reality of locums benefitsMost locums agencies do not provide traditional health insurance, but a few offer access to group plans or partner benefits.   • The pros and cons of W-2 employmentPredictable pay, employer-sponsored benefits, and built-in support vs. less schedule control and more administrative pressure. • How to choose the right model for your lifeWe cover the mindset, financial considerations, and lifestyle factors that help you decide between 1099 and W-2 work, especially if you're striving for more autonomy or aiming to grow long-term wealth.Please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite Podcasting platform.

This episode is a deep, grounded exploration of self-governance, natural law, and personal responsibility with Michael Joseph, founding director of Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship and a longtime educator on the invisible contracts shaping modern life. Drawing from decades of study and lived experience, Michael breaks down the distinction between lawful authority and corporate control, how consent quietly operates beneath the surface of everyday systems, and why true freedom cannot be reclaimed through anger, rebellion, or ideology—but only through awareness, integrity, and inner coherence. Rather than promoting shortcuts or performative “sovereignty,” this conversation emphasizes emotional maturity, discernment, and self-responsibility as the real foundations of power. If you've ever sensed that something about the way society operates feels off—but also felt overwhelmed, confused, or turned off by the noise surrounding these topics—this episode offers a clear, calm, and principled lens for understanding what self-governance actually means, and why the path forward begins within.Time Stamps(00:00) Teaser(00:40) Opening Conversation(04:43) Introducing Michael(05:40) Michael Joseph's Personal Journey(06:38) The System and Self-Governance(14:10) Historical Context and the Republic(24:33) Thoughts on The Founding of America(31:49) Why The West Hates Itself(42:28) The Power of Self-ponsibility and Discernment(53:01) The Power of Creation and Thought(01:00:18) Mission of Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship(01:02:04) Changing Political Status and Its Benefits(01:11:31) Building Wealth in the Private Ledger(01:18:22) Understanding Land PatentsGuest Linkshttps://www.sacredhonoref.com/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

In this episode, Yanely sits down with Certified Financial Planner Gloria Garcia Cisneros to break down what it really means to work with a fiduciary and how teachers can protect themselves from high-fee, commission-driven products often pushed in the 403(b) space. Gloria explains the key differences between independent advisory firms and broker-dealers, why "free" advice can still come with hidden costs, and the questions educators should ask about fees, incentives, and what is actually inside their retirement accounts. They also unpack how insurance products like annuities and permanent life insurance are sometimes marketed as "investments," why that can be risky, and how to spot red flags like guaranteed returns and salesy, one-size-fits-all pitches. Gloria shares her journey from first-generation immigrant to CFP and highlights why holistic financial planning goes beyond investments to include taxes, insurance, benefits, and long-term goals. The conversation ends with mindset shifts, like remembering that wealth is often what you don't see, and encouragement for teachers to build confidence, ask better questions, and stay on a steady path toward financial security.

In this episode, the three Mikes revisit a foundational concept of Infinite Banking: banking is a process, not a product. We begin with Mike Everett going back to the basics, walking through how Nelson Nash framed this idea in Becoming Your Own Banker, and grounding it with real-world experience from working with clients in practice—not theory. Then Mike Kwong unpacks how Income Stacking through DIBS and IBC creates a powerful, repeatable system for cash flow, control, and long-term wealth building. Together, the conversation highlights why lasting financial success comes from building sound processes, not chasing products. The post Building Wealth Through Process, not Products appeared first on Life Success Legacy.

There's a lot of noise in the investing world, but building wealth doesn't have to become a second job. In this episode, I share how to invest simply, consistently, and with your family's future in mind, without stress or constant decision-making. In today's episode, I sit down with Blake Edwards from Georgia, who has built an $865,000 net worth by age 31. Blake breaks down how intentional income growth, living below their means, and staying aligned as a couple helped accelerate their wealth. He also shares a transparent look at his family's assets, approach to generosity, and what generational wealth really means to him beyond the numbers. I wrap up with a Money Quiz, testing my son Calvin on Stranger Things revenue, compound interest, and the gap between race prizes and investment returns. If you want real-life inspiration and practical proof that calm, consistent investing works, even with a busy family and W-2 jobs, this episode will encourage you to stay the course and keep moving forward.

As President of Minerva, founder of GoBundance Women, and former executive at GoodLeap (a multi-billion dollar fintech company), Kelly has spent her career not just climbing ladders—but building entirely new structures for women to thrive. In this powerful conversation, Kelly takes us from her entrepreneurial upbringing in Northern California to earning close to a million dollars by age 25, through her awakening after her mother's dementia diagnosis, and into her current mission: fixing broken systems that hold women back.

This episode is a masterclass in scaling without sacrifice, building community over loneliness, and understanding that investing in women's wellbeing isn't just good for women—it's good for families, communities, and the world. Key Topics: How growing up with entrepreneurial parents shaped Kelly's abundant mindset and fierce work ethic Earning close to $1M by age 25—and why worldly success didn't equal inner fulfillment The awakening that shifted money from a measure of worth to a tool for impact Overcoming the "fear of numbers" that blocks most people from true wealth building Creating your own job description as the secret to unlocking what's next Moving from self-made success to community-driven growth through GoBundance Women The investment criteria Kelly uses: founder energy + world positive impact Why hormone replacement therapy is about longevity, not just symptom management.   Connect with Kelly online: Website: https://kellyresendez.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyresendez/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelly_resendez/?hl=en   Find more from Syama Bunten: Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Join Syama's Substack: https://thewealthcatalystwithsyama.substack.com/ Website: https://wealthcatalyst.com Download Syama's Free Resources: https://wealthcatalyst.com/resources Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://wealthcatalyst.com/summits Speaking: https://syamabunten.com Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com

A new year has arrived, and with it comes a fresh wave of hot takes, bold predictions, and "can't miss" investing ideas. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG step back from the noise to discuss what clearly doesn't work and then to focus on what actually helps you build wealth in 2026 and beyond. Rather than chasing hot trends, they revisit the timeless rules that have quietly done the heavy lifting through every market cycle. Why diversification still matters even when it feels boring. Why IPO hype and speculative real estate deals often disappoint. How consistency beats cleverness far more often than most people expect. From there, the conversation shifts into a practical framework Stackers can use no matter what the market throws their way. Joe and OG walk through the proper order of investing decisions: start with clear goals, build the right asset allocation, choose appropriate asset selections, and then layer in tax strategy. By putting taxes in the right place (after the big structural decisions), they explain how to improve outcomes without letting tax avoidance distort the entire plan. The episode also digs into real-world traps that tend to surface when uncertainty rises. Real estate crowdfunding. Penny stock temptation. Misunderstood property tax increases. The guys break down where people get tripped up and how to protect yourself without becoming overly cautious or frozen by fear. Just as important, Joe and OG explore the difference between luck and skill in investing stories. If you've ever felt behind because someone else's risky move worked out, this discussion brings perspective and relief by reminding Stackers what sustainable progress actually looks like. What You'll Learn: • Why timeless investing principles matter more than 2026 predictions • How diversification truly reduces risk and where people misuse it • The dangers of IPOs, penny stocks, and "exclusive" real estate deals • The correct order of smart investing decisions: goals first, asset allocation next, asset selection after that, tax strategy layered on last • How to think about tax efficiency without letting taxes drive the plan • What new homeowners often misunderstand about property taxes • How to spot luck masquerading as skill in investing success stories • Ways to stay confident and consistent when markets feel uncertain If you're looking to start 2026 grounded, informed, and focused on the moves that actually matter, this episode delivers a steady, practical roadmap without hype, fear, or shortcuts. Listen for the principles that hold up when markets misbehave and the small mistakes that quietly derail otherwise solid plans.
