Tara exposes the growing crisis facing young Americans — a generation buried in debt, shut out of the job market, and rapidly losing faith in a system that promised them everything. With unemployment for ages 20–24 now surging above 9%, AI devouring entry-level work, and 80% of H-1B visas going to those same entry-level jobs, Tara explains why Gen Z men swung toward Trump harder than any group in 100 years… and why that support is now collapsing. From Nikki Haley's son sounding the alarm to Fox News finally admitting the numbers, Tara walks through the perfect storm pushing young voters toward whoever promises relief — whether it's Trump, or a socialist “strongman” waiting in the wings. This is the political fault line both parties fear, and Tara lays it out with brutal clarity.

It's one of the most valuable things we have—and one of the easiest to waste. We've all heard the saying, “Time is money.” But if that's true, why do we spend it so carelessly? The truth is, time is worth far more than dollars and cents—it's the most limited resource God has given us. Learning to steward it well isn't just good productivity advice—it's an act of worship.If you've ever said, “I just need a little more time,” you're not alone. Many of us feel the pressure of time slipping through our fingers. Ironically, we often spend our days chasing money, status, or success—only to run out of the very thing we were trying to “buy back.”We treat time like a renewable resource when it's really more like a savings account that's constantly being drawn down. Every hour that passes is one you'll never get back. Yet our culture tempts us to equate our worth with how much we earn or produce.A Biblical View of TimeScripture offers a radically different view. In Psalm 90:12, Moses prays, “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” He's not talking about counting hours on a clock but realizing that our time is limited—and therefore deeply valuable.From a biblical perspective, time isn't ours to manage however we wish. It's a gift from God, entrusted to us for His purposes. Just as money and talents belong to Him, so does our time.In Ephesians 5:15–16, Paul writes, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.” The original Greek phrase for “making the best use” literally means “redeeming the time”—buying it back for God's glory. It's the same word Paul uses elsewhere to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross.Christ redeemed us from sin and emptiness, giving our lives eternal meaning. In the same way, we're called to redeem our time—to invest every moment, conversation, and decision in what will last forever.Here's the catch: if you don't decide what your time is worth, someone else will. Your job, your phone, your inbox, even social media—all have plans for your time. Unless you set boundaries, your days will fill up with things that seem urgent but aren't truly important.Jesus modeled something completely different. Even with the most important mission in history, He took time to rest, pray, eat with friends, and be fully present with people. He had the margin to be interrupted—to stop for the sick, listen to the hurting, and teach those who were searching. He never rushed, yet He always fulfilled the Father's will.How to Steward Your Time WellSo how can we live as if our time truly belongs to God?1. Reevaluate Your PrioritiesEvery decision is a trade. When you say yes to one thing, you say no to something else. Ask yourself, “What matters most in God's eyes—and am I giving that my best time?”2. Measure Time by Meaning, Not MoneyOur culture values time by dollars per hour, but God's economy works differently. A quiet afternoon encouraging a friend may not pay in cash—but it yields eternal dividends. As Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”3. Build Margin into Your LifeJust as financial margin creates freedom to give, time margin allows you to live generously. When you're not overscheduled, you can pause to listen, serve, or rest. Sabbath isn't wasted time—it's holy time that reminds us that God is in control.4. Steward Small MomentsEternal impact isn't found only in big events. It's in the five minutes you pray for someone, the ten minutes you spend in Scripture, or the conversation that points someone to Jesus. As Colossians 3:17 reminds us, “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.”Making Your Hours Count for EternityWhen you see your time through an eternal lens, every moment takes on new meaning. You stop chasing the clock and start cherishing what truly matters. Missionary C.T. Studd once wrote, “Only one life, 'twill soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last.”So what's your time really worth? It's worth exactly what you invest in eternity.Don't just count your hours—make your hours count. Live intentionally. Rest purposefully. Serve generously. And let every day remind you of the One who holds all time in His hands.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have two kids—a 14-year-old and a newborn—and just opened brokerage accounts for them.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into the realities behind the trending 50-year mortgage, strategies for raising client prices, and the powerful concept of creating lasting value rather than selling on features alone. They discuss generational financial policy, entrepreneurship advice for young business owners, and how the mindset around risk, investing, and habits shapes long-term success for coaches and their clients. Key Topics Covered The Truth About 50-Year Mortgages Karl Bryan breaks down why 50-year mortgages may be psychologically appealing but are often a disaster for long-term wealth. He reveals how fiscal policies typically benefit older asset holders, not young families, and explains actionable strategies for managing mortgage debt wisely (hint: double principal payments to cut interest costs). Debt, Fiscal Policy, and Asset Ownership A candid discussion about government incentives, student loans, movement, and the marketing of debt programs. The hosts explain how national debts, stock market, and real estate policy affect everyday entrepreneurs. Dave Ramsey's Approach vs. Entrepreneurial Investing Karl Bryan shares why Dave Ramsey's advice, though solid for most, isn't tailored to business owners and can actually hinder entrepreneurial growth. Coaches need to help clients recognize where profit really comes from—often through strategic hiring rather than traditional assets. Advice for Young Entrepreneurs For a 21-year-old approaching seven figures in business, Karl shares direct "notes to his younger self": Prioritize learning and history over hype Avoid gambling culture Understand the dangers of chasing status Find mentors closest to your goals Success follows through other people—cultivate loyalty Real success takes five years—play the long game How to Raise Client Prices and Increase Profitability Karl reveals a "scaling" pricing model to onboard high-ticket clients incrementally and why innovation and value creation are the keys to charging more. He provides a three-prong value breakdown—practical, inherent, and social—and explains how to move clients from being compared "apples to apples" to "apples to oranges" in their market. Group Coaching and Retention Leverage Retaining clients and boosting perceived value through live events and group coaching is explored. Karl draws direct connections between authority, events, and pricing power. Moment of Zen Inspiration from sports, family holidays, and leadership culture. Karl shares the magic of "Mickey Points" for family bonding and how elite athletes prime themselves for risk and resilience. The lesson: unlearning old habits is often the hardest—and most valuable—growth. Notable Quotes "Owning a home is as much psychological as it is an investment—it's security for your family." — Karl Bryan "Motivation is great, but a successful life is about avoiding stupid—capitalize, underline, and italicize 'stupid'!" — Karl Bryan "Raising prices is more complicated than just slapping on 10%—innovation and adding value are the keys to creating profitable clients." — Karl Bryan "Don't ask people close to you, ask people closest to your goal. If you want a great marriage, talk to someone with a 50-year marriage." — Karl Bryan "The higher-level question is: How can we increase profits 100% and keep clients happy?" — Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Be Critical of Debt Offers: Young families should double down on principal payments if stuck with a longer-term mortgage and avoid upgrading lifestyle unnecessarily. Invest in People Before Assets: Entrepreneurs get the highest ROI by investing in team and systems before stocks or real estate. Leverage Group and Live Events: Group coaching and live events increase perceived value, retention, and pricing power. Innovate to Escape Commodity Pricing: Break out from "apples to apples" pricing by amplifying practical, inherent, and social value—be different, not cheaper. Avoid Your Worst Activity: Personal and client progress accelerates by cutting the most counterproductive habits first, not just starting new ones. Play the Long Game: Real business and personal success takes at least five years—commit, persist, and learn continuously.

Jesse shares a story about helping his daughter use YNAB to plan her spending and save for an electric bicycle. The bike was $600, quite a big ticket item for a 9 year old, but together they came up with a plan and created a target in YNAB to assign money toward that goal each month. And when the day came a few months later to make the purchase... she didn't want it.   The burning desire for the bike had passed, and the clarity of the tradeoffs she would have to make to buy it set in. At the end of the day, the bike wasn't worth it to her. That is the power of YNAB and delayed gratification. By saving for the bike first, she was able to learn whether it was in alignment with her priorities. Often when the initial desire for something hits, it overwhelms our sense of priorities. And when we use debt to shortcut the time delay it takes to save up for a thing, it not only obscures our priorities but it also robs us of the choice to not buy it when the smoke clears and our sense of priorities returns.   Watch The Jesse Mecham Show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jessemechamshow   Got a question for Jesse?

Many people say our healthcare system is broken—and maybe you've felt that yourself.Rising costs, denied claims, and surprise bills have left millions of Americans buried in medical debt. But there's a better, biblical way to approach healthcare—one that has been serving Christians for more than forty years. Lauren Gajdek joins us today to tell us all about it.Lauren Gajdek is the Senior Director of External Affairs at Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM), an underwriter of Faith & Finance. Why an “Open Enrollment” Campaign for a Year-Round Ministry?While CHM accepts new members year-round, their Open Enrollment Campaign—running from November 1 through January 15—aligns with the period when most Americans review or change their health coverage through employers or government exchanges.This is the time of year when people are thinking about healthcare decisions. So even though CHM is open year-round, it's an excellent opportunity to shine a light on a biblical alternative.Many Americans have grown frustrated with their healthcare experiences. CHM hears from countless people who've paid premiums for years, only to find that help is unavailable when they need it most.It's disheartening. You think your provider is in-network, but later find out they're not. That leaves patients confused and financially burdened. It's a system that often leaves believers wondering if there's a better way.That sense of frustration has become widespread—especially as over 100 million Americans now carry medical debt, a staggering sign of a broken system.How CHM Differs from InsuranceCHM operates from a radically different model. Rather than paying into a profit-driven system, CHM members share each other's medical expenses—a reflection of biblical community and mutual care.They've been around since 1981 and have shared or satisfied over $13 billion in medical bills. They're a nonprofit ministry that helps Christians live out their faith through practical care.Unlike traditional insurance, CHM members can visit any doctor or hospital they choose—there are no in-network restrictions—as long as the treatment meets the ministry's guidelines.It's simple, affordable, and rooted in biblical stewardship. Members have the freedom and peace of mind that come with knowing they're part of a community that cares.At its core, CHM is not an insurance company—it's a Christ-centered community built on shared values. Members give monthly to help other believers in need. It's an act of faith and stewardship. And for most people, it's far more affordable than traditional plans.This affordability and flexibility are especially appealing for Christians seeking to align their healthcare decisions with their faith and values.Guidance for Those Exploring Their OptionsFor anyone comparing healthcare choices this season, approach the decision prayerfully and with an open mind.You don't have to be trapped in a broken insurance system. There's a proven, Christ-centered way to handle your healthcare. Go to CHMinistries.org/FaithFi to find a cost comparison tool that shows how CHM can make care more affordable.Many in the Faith & Finance audience are retirees or nearing retirement. So it's important to note that CHM also complements Medicare, helping cover eligible expenses Medicare may not cover.It's what they call a ‘complementary' approach, where CHM can help cover costs Medicare doesn't pay, as long as they fall within its guidelines.FaithFi is grateful for CHM's partnership and their ongoing commitment to helping believers steward their healthcare costs wisely. You don't have to settle for a system that's broken. There's a biblical, community-based way to manage your healthcare needs. Learn more at CHMinistries.org/FaithFi.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:A pastor friend of mine was told he owes $13,000 in taxes because his preparer made a mistake. He doesn't have the money to pay for it. Where can he turn for help?I own a small business structured as an LLC, and I'm confused about how to tithe. Should I tithe personally from what I pay myself, from the business profits at year-end, or both?I'm a pastor, and one of my church members is struggling. After his father's death, the estate was liquidated, leaving him without a home. He hasn't filed taxes and now has tax debt. What's the best way for him to address this?I'm looking into a debt management plan and wondering—will it hurt my credit score? And would I still be able to keep one credit card open for emergencies?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM)National Christian Foundation (NCF)Christian Credit CounselorsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

What if your investments did more than earn returns—what if they helped shape the culture for good?Today, we'll explore how your money can not only grow but also advance God's purposes in the world. Brian Mumbert joins us from Timothy Plan to share how faith-based investing allows believers to engage the culture with an eternal impact.Brian Mumbert is the President of Timothy Plan, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Giving That Flows from FaithAt the heart of Timothy Plan's mission is a conviction that money is not merely a financial tool but a spiritual one. Timothy Partners, Ltd.—the advisor to Timothy Plan—tithes its profits to support ministries aligned with biblical values.Those partnerships reflect a desire to be active on the other side of Timothy Plan's investment screens. In other words, it's not enough to avoid investing in companies that exploit, harm, or oppose biblical principles. True stewardship involves using financial influence to protect life, defend freedom, equip biblical entrepreneurs, and strengthen families.This commitment is not theoretical—it's deeply practical.In Central Florida, Timothy Plan partners with organizations such as Choices Women's Clinic, the area's largest pro-life pregnancy center, as well as House of Hope Orlando and the Orange County Jail Ministry. Nationally, their reach extends through partnerships with organizations like Movieguide and Florida Family Voice.Through the Kairos Prize, Timothy Plan helps fund aspiring Christian filmmakers with seed capital to develop their projects. Another powerful partnership is with the Nehemiah Project, which equips entrepreneurs worldwide to start and grow businesses based on biblical principles.A Legacy of Business as MinistryTimothy Plan's founder, Art Ally, was inspired by the legendary Christian industrialist R.G. LeTourneau, who dedicated 90% of his income to God's work. LeTourneau often said, “I shovel out the money, and God shovels it back—but God's got a bigger shovel.”That philosophy continues to shape Timothy Plan's culture. They see business as ministry, and since we are all stewards of God's money, we want to ensure it has an eternal impact.For many investors, the idea that their portfolio could be shaping the culture might feel new. But as an investor, we really need to understand where our dollars are going. When we invest with a biblical worldview, we're not just seeking a return—we're influencing what gets built, produced, and promoted in our world.This approach aligns with the broader mission of Timothy Plan: to provide investment options that reflect the values of faith-driven investors and to mobilize generosity that brings light into dark places. The impact of this approach is tangible. You can see the joy on their faces and the difference these ministries are making—locally in Central Florida and across the nation.At FaithFi, we share that conviction: when you invest with purpose, your portfolio can do more than generate returns—it can help bring redemption and renewal to our culture.To learn more about biblically responsible investing and how your financial stewardship can make an eternal impact, visit TimothyPlan.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm planning to retire in 2027 and want to move my deferred compensation.

This one hits where it hurts: the living room. We dig into how money actually moves in multi-generational, first-gen Hispanic households during the holidays when everyone has an opinion and nobody wants to say the quiet part out loud. Daniela Molina joins me to cut through the noise with straight talk on culture, pressure, and breaking money taboos. We start with reality. Different generations carry different money scripts, and when the saver, the spender, and the “I don't even know” all live under one roof, small choices turn into family politics. Daniela lays out how to start real conversations without shaming your elders, how to share what you're learning without posturing, and how to reframe the holidays so love is the priority—not debt. Then we torch a few lazy hot takes. “Cut off your family to get ahead” sounds bold online, but it ignores culture and context. “Debt is always bad” is just wrong. We separate clickbait from facts and talk about how to consume media like an adult: verify sources, look for methodology, and stop outsourcing your brain to headlines. We also get tactical: setting boundaries when relatives hit you up for cash, protecting your personal life if you work in media or client-facing roles, and expanding your reach with bilingual content—even if you don't speak Spanish—by partnering, translating key one-pagers, and focusing on genuinely useful advice. Holiday season is when budgets blow up and resentment festers. Not this year. Listen in, get your plan tight, and keep your dignity intact.

Imani (52) and Michael (65) have been married for 24 years—and they're drowning in nearly $126,000 of consumer debt despite earning over $250,000 a year. Imani, a disciplined attorney who tracks every dollar, feels trapped by Michael's unchecked spending on electronics and his laid-back approach to money. She dreams of travel, freedom, and a life that finally feels generous, while he insists everything's fine as long as the bills get paid. With resentment growing and Imani nearing her breaking point, Ramit challenges them to face the truth: Can they pay off their debt, rebuild trust, and start enjoying life again—or are they too stuck in old patterns to change?

Send us a textA space opera with DC-8s, volcanoes, and billion-soul “implants” shouldn't be the engine of a modern religion—yet that's exactly the story that sits behind Scientology's most guarded levels. We pull the curtain back on the Xenu narrative from OT III, lay out the official claims in plain English, and examine how secrecy, status, and relentless fundraising keep the bridge in motion long after the secret escaped the vault.We walk through the alleged Galactic Confederation backstory, why “body thetans” and clusters become the never-ending problem you're asked to pay to solve, and how health promises and ethics pressure can keep members from getting real medical care. You'll hear how Sea Org culture borrows from the “loyal officers” myth, why OT levels are only delivered at advanced orgs, and how moving goalposts for OT 9 and 10 mask an empty pipeline. We also track the turning point—leaks in the 80s, South Park, Boston Legal, The Kaminsky Method—when pop culture and the internet made the once-forbidden story searchable in minutes.Along the way, we share first-hand experiences helping people leave, briefing journalists on front groups like ABLE and Applied Scholastics, and speaking to students about new religious movements. Expect clear explanations, zero jargon, and a guided tour of the logic gaps—geology, physics, and those DC-8 wings in space—that reveal how a mid-century sci-fi imagination became high-priced revelation. If you've ever wondered how myth turns into machinery, or why drop-offs spike at Clear, OT III, and OT VIII, this conversation connects the dots.If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who's curious about Scientology, and leave a review telling us what part surprised you most.

Send us a textA single Saturday in 1966 changed everything. When a young Ed Rahill paused lawn duty to hear the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the radio, endurance racing planted a seed that would grow into record-setting coast-to-coast drives, a fearless corporate career, and a blueprint for living with grit. We go beyond the spectacle to explore how planning, patience, and partnership carry you through the stretches no one posts on highlight reels.Ed maps the unlikely bridge between CFO and president roles and the “last great American road race,” weaving in a vivid history of endurance—from the Pony Express and thousand-mile cattle drives to the first cross-country auto challenge in 1904. The stories are cinematic: arrests in multiple states, an all-points bulletin, clandestine support from GM engineers, and the relentless math of speed, fuel, and fatigue. Yet the real takeaway is strategic: choose the right teammate, build redundancy, respect the road, and recover fast when everything breaks at once.At the heart of this conversation is a promise. Raised by women who sacrificed their dreams, Ed vowed to break that pattern and treat life as a relay. The baton metaphor runs through every chapter—start strong, absorb the hits, and hand off hard-won wisdom so the next runner goes farther. He shares the razor‑thin moment when a handshake with Blackstone saved his company and his team, reminding us that survival is often the doorway to impact. The message is simple and powerful: you have the right to try, the duty to prepare, and the calling to pass your gains forward.If stories of resilience, leadership under fire, and American car culture light you up, you'll find both adrenaline and guidance here. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a push, and leave a review telling us the toughest mile you've ever run—what baton are you carrying next?Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Ever wonder why money so often reveals what we truly value? Today, we'll find out.You probably know that on Faith and Finance, Rob West is usually the one asking the questions. But today, we're turning the tables. Afton Phillips (Head of Content at FaithFi: Faith and Finance) is here to interview Rob West about a devotional project that he has been working on—one that goes straight to the heart of our financial lives.Afton Phillips is the Head of Content at FaithFi: Faith & Finance. The Heart Behind Our Ultimate TreasureWhen Rob first started writing Our Ultimate Treasure: A 21-Day Devotional to Faithful Stewardship, he didn't set out to create another resource about money management. He wanted to create a journey of the heart—a way for believers to rediscover what Scripture truly says about money and how it reflects our relationship with God.Over the years, Rob has had thousands of conversations with people who genuinely want to honor God with their finances but feel stuck or uncertain about how to begin. That longing—to be faithful, yet unsure how—has shaped everything about this devotional.Rob has spent his entire career at the intersection of faith and finance. Early on, he noticed something that changed how he viewed everything: it didn't matter whether someone had $60,000 in credit card debt or $60 million in investments—the struggles were the same. Money issues are heart issues.That's why Jesus spoke about money more than almost any other topic. Not because He needed our resources, but because He knew how easily our hearts become tangled up in them. The goal of this devotional is to help readers slow down and realign their hearts with God's purposes—to see money not as a source of stress or identity, but as a tool for worship.Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” That simple truth sits at the foundation of everything we teach at FaithFi. How we spend, save, and give reveals what we treasure most.If we focus only on the surface—budgeting better, saving more, paying down debt—we might improve our circumstances but still remain captive to worry or pride. The real transformation happens when God changes our hearts. When our relationship with money is shaped by trust in Him, freedom begins to flow naturally.Moving from Ownership to StewardshipOne of the most freeing shifts in a believer's financial life is learning to see ourselves not as owners, but as stewards. When we live as if we own it all, we carry the crushing weight of control—every financial decision feels like it rests on our shoulders. But when we recognize that God owns it all and we're simply managers of His resources, everything changes.Stewardship invites us to ask a new question: “Lord, what do You want me to do with Your money?” That posture leads to peace, not pressure. It transforms spending into gratitude, saving into preparation, and giving into worship. When we release ownership, we stop building our own kingdoms and start participating in God's.Biblical wisdom provides a framework for every financial decision we make. The world tells us to chase comfort and security; Scripture calls us to pursue faithfulness. God's financial principles aren't restrictive—they're protective.When we live within our means, avoid debt, plan diligently, and give generously, we're reflecting the nature of an orderly, generous, trustworthy God. Over time, those choices form habits—habits that produce margin, contentment, and generosity. Wisdom doesn't just shape our money; it shapes our hearts, making us look more like Christ.The Gift of Margin, Generosity, and LegacyOne of the devotionals in Our Ultimate Treasure focuses on the concept of margin. In our culture, we tend to fill every dollar, every minute, and every ounce of energy. But when our lives are maxed out, there's no space left for God to move.Creating margin is an act of faith. It's how we say, “Lord, I trust You enough not to live at the edge.” When we budget below our income or leave breathing room in our schedules, we acknowledge that God—not us—is the provider. In that space, we often experience His peace, His provision, and His direction in powerful ways.At FaithFi, we often say that generosity isn't just about giving—it's about joining God in His redemptive work. When we give, we participate in something far greater than ourselves.Generosity becomes a reflection of God's heart and a visible expression of His love in the world. The fruit of generosity isn't measured in numbers but in lives changed, needs met, and faith strengthened. 2 Corinthians 9:11 reminds us that God enriches us “in every way to be generous in every way.” Our giving is a response to grace—a way to align our hearts with His purposes and trust that every act of faithfulness has eternal impact.Ron Blue has often said, “Is the next steward chosen and prepared?” That question has also shaped how we should think about legacy.Legacy isn't about wealth—it's about faithfulness. Preparing the next steward means intentionally helping the next generation understand that everything belongs to God. If we pass on money without passing on wisdom, we've missed the point. Our responsibility is to model open-handed living, teaching those who follow us to hold God's gifts lightly and use them for His glory.A Hope for Every ReaderOur prayer for Our Ultimate Treasure is simple: that it would help readers see money through God's eyes and experience a renewed relationship with Him.When we understand that everything we have belongs to a generous Father, our posture shifts from fear to trust. We move from striving to surrender. Financial stewardship becomes less about mastering money and more about walking in freedom with God.If these 21 days lead someone to treasure Christ above all else—to trust Him more deeply and handle money in a way that honors Him—then this devotional has done its work.Our Ultimate Treasure is available to all who become a FaithFi Partner by December 31. Partners will also receive the latest issue of Faithful Steward magazine as well as an early release copy of Rob's new devotional whenever it is released in January 2026.

I have $10,000 saved for repairs, $25,000 in emergency savings, and $45,000 in dividend-producing stocks.

In this episode, John Wilson and co-host Jack Carr break down how home-service companies can actually future-proof in 2025: flattening org charts, using AI to nuke overhead, building adaptable teams, and keeping a balance sheet that can take a 30% punch. We get into real numbers (gross margin, overhead targets, EBITDA), how to think about “risk on” vs. “risk off,” and why the middle of the market gets squeezed when big operators cut costs with automation.You'll hear play-by-plays on automating call centers, choosing what to systematize vs. keep human, when to de-lever, and how to bob-and-weave against giants who pass cost savings straight into marketing.What You'll LearnPeople vs. Systems: The two ways to future-proof—and how to train for adaptability.Automation That Moves the P&L: Where AI actually drops overhead (call center, dispatch, admin).Healthy by Design: Gross margin, overhead, and cash targets that create real nimbleness.Debt & “Risk Off”: How interest rates change the game and when to prioritize de-levering.Competing with Giants: What to do when national players cut cost structures by ~8–10 pts.Numbers First: Why you can't future-proof if you don't know your break-even.

You've heard the controversial new idea making headlines — the 50-year mortgage. What started as a proposal from national homebuilders sparks a bigger conversation: Are we solving housing affordability, or just stretching debt for another generation? Brian breaks down how amortization works, why stretching payments can look appealing but cost hundreds of thousands more in interest, and how it impacts the broader economy. He also shares personal stories about real estate mistakes, mortgage decisions, and how inflation and rising rates are reshaping homeownership for Millennials and Gen Z. Listeners call in with their own real-life experiences — from first-time homebuyers juggling tight budgets to the emotional payoff of finally owning a place you can call your own. Along the way, Brian explains the math behind mortgage length, how income growth changes affordability over time, and why some debts may not be as "bad" as you think.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Host: Brian Wiley

6. Continued Defeats, Financial Ruin, and Schleicher's Strategy. Timothy Ryback discusses how the Nazi party continued its decline, suffering losses in Thuringia and facing severe financial ruin, estimated to be 90 million Reichsmarks in debt. A desperate push for a majority in the small state of Lippe in January failed, though Hitler publicly declared it a triumph. Simultaneously, Chancellor Schleicher, the political mastermind, actively negotiated with Gregor Strasser. Schleicher aimed to break apart the NSDAP by detaching Strasser's socialist faction from Hitler's hardliners (Goebbels and Göring), thereby creating a stable, centrist coalition. Strasser was acting to save the National Socialist Movement through compromise, not to betray Hitler. 1933

Blending a family takes grace—and so does blending your finances.When couples merge families, they're also merging priorities, habits, and sometimes, financial baggage. Ron Deal joins us today to show us that with honesty and a shared vision, what begins as a challenge can become a source of strength for blended families navigating both money and marriage.Ron Deal is a bestselling author, licensed marriage & family therapist, podcaster, and popular conference speaker who specializes in marriage enrichment and stepfamily education and is the co-author of The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family. Why Honest Money Conversations MatterThere once was a man who, when his girlfriend thought he was about to propose, surprised her by asking for her credit report instead. It's a funny story—but one that reveals a serious truth. Beneath money conversations are usually heart conversations.For couples forming blended families, this truth runs even deeper. Life has already taught them that marriage isn't guaranteed, whether because of death or a divorce. That experience creates an understandable sense of caution: How deeply do I invest again? Can I trust this new relationship?Money becomes the testing ground for those questions. That's why avoiding financial conversations doesn't protect your relationship—it weakens it. Only about one in four dating or engaged couples forming a blended family ever have a serious talk about finances before they marry. The rest often underestimate what needs to be uncovered.Finances are never just about dollars and cents. They're about values, power, and security. Beneath a discussion about budgets might be an unspoken fear: Will your children be treated equally with mine? Beneath a talk about wills might be a hidden worry: Will you care for my kids if I'm gone?There was once a woman who had been remarried for 25 years—two and a half decades of life together—and she still wondered whether her husband would provide equally for her children after she passed away. The question had never been resolved. It lingered from the past, quietly shaping their relationship.When those unspoken fears remain unaddressed, they create invisible walls. Healthy couples have the courage to name them and work through them together.The Challenge of Inheritance and TrustConsider the story of Sandra and Dave, a couple who married later in life. Sandra, a divorced mother of two adult children, was asked by her new husband, Dave, to change her will and make him her sole beneficiary. To Dave, who had no children of his own, the request seemed simple and loving: We're one now—just leave everything to me, and I'll take care of your family.But Sandra hesitated. Her adult children hadn't had time to form a close bond with Dave. For her, the request stirred deep questions: How do I know that what she's set aside for her children will be honored after she's gone?This is where trust, loyalty, and belonging intersect. Financial peace in a blended family isn't achieved through documents—it's achieved through relational clarity. You can't solve financial questions until you've addressed the relational ones.Moving from Prenuptial to TogethernessSo what's the alternative? In the book, The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family, Ron Deal, Greg Pettis, and David Edwards, introduce what they call a “Togetherness Agreement.”Think of it as a redeemed version of a prenuptial agreement. A traditional prenup is something you do to your spouse—it outlines what they won't receive if the marriage fails. But a Togetherness Agreement is something you do for your spouse. It outlines how you will lovingly and intentionally provide for one another and your families.In a Togetherness Agreement, couples prayerfully decide together:How do they care for children from prior relationshipsHow inherited or premarital assets will be handledHow responsibilities to other households or parents will be honoredAnd how they'll support one another financially in love and unityIt's not about dividing assets—it's about uniting hearts. This process builds emotional safety, which in turn builds trust. When couples feel safe, they can finally exhale, knowing they are truly invested in each other.Taking Inventory—Emotionally and FinanciallyBefore crafting any agreement, couples need to take inventory. That means both emotional and financial reflection.Ask questions like:What financial baggage or debts are we bringing in?What past wounds or fears still shape the way we view money?What are our goals—for our family, our faith, and our future?Blended families are always born out of loss—whether death, divorce, or something else. That history doesn't have to define the new relationship, but it does need to be acknowledged. Honest reflection helps couples avoid repeating old patterns and build a healthier foundation together.Every couple's situation is different, but here are key topics that should be covered in a Togetherness Agreement:Joint and separate accountsDebt and financial obligations from prior marriagesChild or spousal support payments to other householdsRetirement, insurance, and investmentsCollege, cars, and other child-related expensesCovering these topics doesn't weaken love—it strengthens it. It replaces assumptions with clarity and fear with peace.If all of this feels overwhelming, take heart. You don't have to figure it out alone. Seek wise counsel—a trusted financial planner, pastor, or Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) can help you find creative and God-honoring ways to care for your family.And above all, remember this: God's grace is sufficient for your blended family. Submit your plans to Him. Let Him guide the process. As you do, He will grow you—not only in financial wisdom, but in love, unity, and faith.When couples move from mine and yours to ours, they begin to reflect the very heart of God, who makes two one, and who calls us to love generously, even in the way we handle money.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've been struggling with $26,000 in credit card debt that I recently disclosed to my husband. A credit consolidation company says they can negotiate it down, so I'd pay $400 every two weeks and be debt-free in four years. It sounds good, but is this a trustworthy option—or are there drawbacks I should watch out for?I have UTMA accounts for my two sons, but I am considering switching to 529 plans. I'm mainly concerned that with the UTMA, they'll gain full control of the money once they come of age. Would a 529 plan be a wiser choice?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning: Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family by Ron L.

Medicine teaches physicians to heal others, but without financial literacy, even the best doctors can find themselves adrift in a sea of debt. Financial literacy acts as that compass, guiding physicians toward stability and control. Understanding how to budget, invest, and repay debt is not merely about numbers, it is about creating freedom and security in a life that demands so much. Every smart financial decision made early in a career grows like a small seed into lasting wealth, giving physicians options and peace of mind they cannot afford to ignore. Moreover, financial literacy empowers physicians to plan beyond their clinical work. It opens the door to pursuing passions, starting families, or investing in new ventures without the constant fear of financial collapse.  In a profession defined by service and sacrifice, understanding money ensures that physicians can serve others without sacrificing their own well-being. Knowledge about loans, investments, and insurance transforms anxiety into action, turning what seems like an insurmountable burden into a manageable challenge. In this episode, we're revisiting some of the most impactful financial conversations from the past year, episodes that every physician, especially those early in their careers, should hear. From securing disability insurance and managing debt to building smart habits and multiple income streams these highlights are packed with lessons on how to protect your future while pursuing your passion for medicine. Featuring insights from Dr. Zwade Marshall, Raina Windham, and more, this episode is a must-listen for doctors ready to take control of their financial future.

Before you know it, you're behind." – CEO Pattern Dustin Karas "When you perfect your craft and do it well, first concentrate on being the best doctor you can."– Dr. Derrick Burgess  "Sometimes you're just going through this transition, and if you make it through, that's when your real dream awaits you."– Dr. Derrick Burgess Connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess: Website: https://www.drderrickthesportsdr.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drderrickthesportsdr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeOut.SportsDr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrick-burgess-72047b246/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.derrickburgess243 Email: thesportsdoctr@gmail.com Other Links: https://forms.gle/816Ue5Zs7TtzvoiE8 This episode of TimeOut with the SportsDr. is produced by Podcast VAs Philippines - the team that helps podcasters effectively launch and manage their podcasts, so we don't have to.

Are there any viable options when you owe a debt you could never possibly repay?

John Casmon interviews Bronson Hill. Bronson shares how he walked away from a high-paying medical sales career to pursue time freedom, eventually raising over $50 million for multifamily, oil and gas, debt funds, and development deals. He and John dig into the core reasons investors should define their goals around cash flow, capital preservation, and tax benefits instead of blindly chasing returns, and how to properly vet operators and opportunities across different asset classes. Bronson also explains his “fire yourself” framework, the concept of wealth worthiness, and why mindset and service-driven capital raising are critical to building a diversified, resilient passive income portfolio.
