Do you ever forget which credit card to use for a purchase — or worry you're missing out on bonus points and statement credits? It's easy to lose track when every card has different categories, offers, and perks. This episode is part of our Streamline, Stack, and Save mini-series, where we're exploring tools and strategies that simplify how you earn and redeem your points and miles. I'm joined by Emmanuel Crouvisier, creator of CardPointers, an app that helps you track your cards, bonus categories, and offers so you never miss a chance to earn or save. Emmanuel built CardPointers in 2019 to help people get more value from their credit cards without the spreadsheets, post-it notes, or constant mental math. The app automatically identifies which card to use for every purchase, keeps track of Amex, Chase, Citi, and Capital One offers, and helps you make sure your credits don't expire before you can use them. We talk about what inspired Emmanuel to create the app, the features that make it powerful — like Autopilot, offer alerts, and Apple integration — and how privacy and security are built in at every step. Emmanuel also shares how CardPointers users save an average of $750 a year and why automation can improve both your points strategy and your relationships by eliminating financial friction. Whether you manage one card or twenty, this conversation will help you simplify your wallet, maximize your rewards, and make the points game easier to play.

What if one “smelly” condo became the springboard to financial independence, luxury short-term rentals, and a reverse 1031 into a waterfront Arizona home? In this Invest2FI episode, Craig is with Maui-based investor and former firefighter Mike Neubauer about turning creative strategy into real results. You'll hear how Mike and his wife Caroline targeted hotel-zoned lockout condos on Maui, bought a $540,000 fixer that “smelled like cat urine,” DIY-renovated on a tight deadline, and optimized pricing to hit ninety-seven percent blended occupancy and 10,000–12,000 monthly revenue. Mike breaks down the numbers behind a $ 7,000 net cash flow, then explains selling that unit for $ 1.365 million and using a reverse 1031 exchange to acquire and upgrade a $ 1.0 million lakefront home in Gilbert, Arizona, with a $ 400,000 remodel. What's for you?

She just asked them if they could start paying her to watch their daughter. Mom, Kristen, says no, this is a good excuse to say they're going to switch to a daycare. She's constantly saying that they need to pick up their daughter early because she has errands to run, at times she'll text them to drop off their daughter later because she's still in her pajamas, and mom thinks they need more stability and a more formal environment for their child. They can't keep going into work late and leaving early because of the sister sitter. Hunter says it'll be a problem for the family relationship if they do it. It'll seem like they're bailing because she's asking for money. What do you think? Sue and Ava have a chance to win $700!

Quotes:  “When you start to offer high ticket consulting where you're serving the top of the market - the companies who can actually afford you, using your whole brain and the depth of your expertise and experience instead of just 3% of your skills and abilities - this means you can serve a handful of clients and make insane money as a result.” “It's not always about doing loads of really hard and scary things. It's about finding that alignment - doing the things that come naturally to you, instead of feeling like you have to become a completely different person and override all your natural instincts and your intuition.” “You aren't yet financially free and you plan to invest more into your retirement fund. You want to serve at a higher level, and work with senior leaders and C suite level leaders. You want your advice and expertise to make a difference in companies that shape the world. And this is my favourite bit - you want all of these things AND to be back in time for dinner. You want your weekly yoga class and coffee with your friends and time outdoors with your pets, and to live a healthier lifestyle without perpetual stress and rushing.

“You almost need to just have this fearlessness towards it. You can absolutely look at what each of the athletes have done and put them up on a pedestal, but you almost have to be like, ‘They've done that, but I'm going to try and do this today.'”My guest for today's episode is Jessica Hull, who just earned her second straight global medal with a bronze in the 1500m at the World Championships in Tokyo. Hull went toe-to-toe with the greatest of all time, Faith Kipyegon, hanging on until the final 200 meters before battling all the way to the line to secure her spot on the podium.Last year was obviously a dream season for Jess — an Olympic silver medal, a 2000m world record, a 3:50 personal best. This year, she didn't always hit the same highs, but she raced with consistency, courage, and adaptability, proving she's a contender in every scenario. In Tokyo, she left it all out there, fending off a charging Nelly Chepchirchir to hang on for bronze in 3:55.16. A repeat of the disastrous tie-up that happened in the Diamond League final was avoided.In this episode, we talk about how she leveled up to get to this point, we talk about the bond shared between all of the 1500m women and the reverence and respect for Faith Kipygeon, her exploration of the 800m which saw her break the Australian record in 1:57.15 in the semifinals and then reaching the final, where she ran another 1:57.Plus, you'll learn where some of her early thoughts are on her plans for 2026.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Jessica Hull | @jessicaahull on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSHOKA: We're takin' over Happy Camper Chicago (Old Town) with HOKA during the Chicago Marathon festivities.

Earning tenure is often treated as the finish line of an academic career—but what if it's actually the start of a whole new set of challenges? This episode is part of our Mid-Career Series, where I discuss what life really looks like post-tenure.  Too often, scholars expect tenure to mean lighter workloads, more freedom, and clearer direction. In reality, many find themselves juggling even more demands with fewer guideposts for what comes next.  I unpack five common myths about the post-tenure career stage and reveal what's really waiting on the other side of promotion. You'll hear why tenure can feel both more demanding and more liberating, and how to approach this stage of your career with clarity and purpose. If you're post-tenure or preparing for it, don't miss this myth-busting conversation. Listen now for a fresh perspective on shaping your next chapter in academia.

Listen alongs as we continue through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 15:22-41 2 Timothy 2:22  “Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer  Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. Grace, you know, does not just have to do with forgiveness of sins alone. - Dallas Willard “They dwell in their own countries, but simply as sojourners. As citizens, they share in all things with others, and yet endure all things as if foreigners. Every foreign land is to them as their native country, and every land of their birth as a land of strangers. They marry, as do all; they beget children; but they do not destroy their offspring. They have a common table, but not a common bed. They are in the flesh, but they do not live after the flesh. They pass their days on earth, but they are citizens of heaven. They obey the prescribed laws, and at the same time surpass the laws by their lives. They love all men, and are persecuted by all. They are unknown and condemned; they are put to death, and restored to life. They are poor, yet make many rich; they are in lack of all things, and yet abound in all; they are dishonored, and yet in their very dishonor are glorified” Epistle to Diognetus (2nd Century) Matthew 23:1-12 The early church understood well the powers at work in the Roman Empire. There were many gods who ruled and oppressed its citizens. Among them were Aphrodite (goddess of sex), Hephaetus (god of technology), Mars (god of war), Ploutos (god of wealth), and Bacchus (god of pleasure). At the top of the ladder, and unifying them all, was political power, deified in the Caesar, and nourished by the Imperial theology and religious practice. The powers and gods were the forces that most determined and shaped their lives. The church understood the oppressive and intrusive influence of evil. They understood the comprehensive scope and spiritual power of these cosmic powers to tyrannize their lives. Perhaps we shake our heads at the primitive and childish worldview that could ever conceive of a world populated by powers. After all, science has liberated us from such nonsense. Yet when we see millions addicted to pornography, it seems the goddess of sex is not dead. When we see millions of lives trivialized and emptied of significance by addiction to technology, we observe that the god of technology still wields power. When we experience the seductive power of a consumer society that inflames us with a desire for the senseless consumption of goods and experiences, we must grant that the gods of wealth and pleasure are alive and well. And the billions of dollars spent annually on arms betray our enslavement to the gods of war and national security. Economic forces, political powers, sexual addiction, technological seduction: it seems we are helpless before these powers. All scientific attempts to control them have failed. - Mike Goheen “God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.” Augustine

Have you ever noticed how so-called “unexpected expenses” always seem to show up at the worst time? The truth is, most of these costs aren't surprises at all—we know cars will break down, homes will need repairs, and Christmas comes every year. The key is not to panic when they arrive but to prepare ahead of time. One simple tool for this is the sinking fund.Scripture has much to say about preparation. Proverbs 21:20 tells us, “Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man devours it.” In other words, wisdom means setting aside resources now instead of consuming everything immediately.We also see this principle in Genesis 41, where Joseph, warned of famine, stored one-fifth of Egypt's grain during the years of plenty. His preparation wasn't random—it was steady and systematic. That's exactly how sinking funds work: consistent contributions toward expenses we know will eventually arise.What Is a Sinking Fund?A sinking fund is money you intentionally set aside for a specific future expense. Instead of panicking at a $1,200 Christmas bill, you save $100 per month all year. Instead of reaching for a credit card when your car needs new tires, you draw from the fund you've been building.This steady, disciplined approach provides freedom from debt and peace of mind when expenses come due. It's not glamorous, but it works.Proverbs 6:6–8 points us to the ant as an example of diligence: “Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.” The ant doesn't wait until the snow falls to collect food—she steadily prepares in advance.Trusting God doesn't mean ignoring preparation. Noah trusted God, yet he still built the ark. Farmers trusted God, yet they sowed seed. Joseph trusted God, yet he stored grain. Faith and stewardship go hand in hand.Where to StartIf you're new to sinking funds, begin with one category. Break down the expense into monthly contributions:Car repairs & replacement—Tires, brakes, or even a future vehicle.Home maintenance—Roofs, furnaces, and appliances all wear out.Medical costs—Co-pays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket expenses.Gifts & holidays—Birthdays and Christmas come every year.Insurance premiums & taxes—Annual or quarterly payments made manageable.Even small amounts—like $25 per month—add up to create margin. Over time, your “storehouses” will be ready when needs arise.In 1 Corinthians 16:2, Paul urged believers to set aside money regularly in proportion to their income to meet the church's needs. This is essentially a spiritual sinking fund—planned, systematic stewardship for Kingdom purposes.The goal isn't to hoard resources. Jesus warns in Luke 12:16–21 against stockpiling for ourselves. Instead, sinking funds free us to live responsibly and bless others without fear.Faith Expressed Through StewardshipChoose one sinking fund today. Maybe start with Christmas: divide your expected costs into monthly pieces and begin saving now. Once you've built the habit, add another fund. Before long, you'll have a system that turns stress into confidence and panic into peace.Creating sinking funds is more than a budgeting trick—it's a spiritual discipline. Each small deposit is an act of faith, demonstrating that you trust God by stewarding His provision wisely. Preparation doesn't replace faith—it reflects it.So start planning today. Build sinking funds for tomorrow. Trust God with the outcome. And remember: faith isn't just believing God will provide when the bill arrives—it's also honoring Him by preparing with the resources He has already placed in your hands.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm retired but still working a few days a week. Social Security is still being deducted from my paycheck—what happens to that money? Will I ever get it back?I'm 66 and planning to retire in 10 months. My wife is also retiring soon. Together we earn about $180,000 a year. How can we best manage our retirement resources to maintain our current lifestyle?I didn't have financial training growing up, and now I see my kids struggling with unexpected expenses and poor money habits. Are there any books that can help shift our family's attitude toward money?I've looked into faith-based investment options, but they seem to have higher fees and less diversification compared to Vanguard or Schwab.

Pokimane, one of the world's biggest streamers, recently revealed the real earning power of each social platform—debunking myths about TikTok millions and spotlighting YouTube as the long-term winner. Travis and Eric break down her income tiers and explain why the biggest creator wins happen only when you treat content as the marketing engine for an actual business—not just a “viral” hustle. On this episode we talk about: Pokimane's ranking of TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, and YouTube for creator income The surprising reality behind viral fame and what most followers don't see The power (and pitfalls) of back-end monetization, from merch to high-ticket offers How creators have leveraged audience into massive buyouts (like Sour Strips) Why meme coins and get-rich-quick schemes always flop—influencer or not Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Don't trust audience size as a stand-alone predictor of creator income—platform and business model matter much more.2.  Creators who build real products, offers, or companies behind the scenes have the highest financial upside.3.  Never bet your future on platforms' payouts—build something you own. Notable Quotes “Attention isn't income until you have a business behind it.” “If you're not selling something, you're leaving almost all the money on the table.” “Creators with back-end offers—not just views—build wealth that lasts after the hype.” Connect with Pokimane: X/Twitter: @pokimanelol Instagram: @pokimanelol Twitch: pokimane ✖️✖️✖️✖️

The Profit Pitfalls Most Business Owners Miss with Lisa Hennigar   Most business owners don't lose profit because of one big mistake — it's usually a thousand tiny leaks. From not knowing your why, to ignoring customer service, to failing to track the right numbers, the truth is this: profit slips away quietly while you're busy working hard.   In this episode of Profit Answer Man, I sit down with Lisa Hennigar, Vice President of Franchise Development at ERA Group and a nationally recognized franchise strategist with over 22 years in the industry. Lisa has worked with everyone from household-name brands to emerging concepts, and she knows exactly where businesses get stuck — and how to turn things around.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why your “why” matters more than you think — and how it fuels resilience, team buy-in, and long-term success. The danger of ignoring your P&L — why most owners don't understand it, and what metrics you actually need to track. Scaling without losing profit — why growing too fast, or in the wrong way, can turn you into an employee of your own business. Customer service as a profit driver — how fast response times and the right client mix can outperform bigger competitors. The hidden costs that eat your margins — from bad leases to auto-renew contracts, to discounting that destroys profitability.   Key Takeaway: Profit doesn't come from working harder — it comes from working smarter. That means knowing your numbers, understanding your why, and being intentional about both the clients you serve and the systems you build. As Lisa reminds us, “Doing simple is hard — but simple is where the money is.”   About Lisa Hennigar: Lisa Hennigar is a nationally recognized franchise growth strategist with over 22 years in the franchising industry. She currently serves as Vice President of Franchise Development at ERA Group, an executive cost intelligence consulting firm, where she has been instrumental in helping ERA achieve its highest ranking in 30 years in Entrepreneur Magazine and secure the #1 Global Franchise Brand designation.   Her expertise spans franchise recruitment, operations, and unit economics—bridging the gap between sales and ongoing franchisee success. She has worked with brands from iconic household names to emerging concepts, creating scalable growth strategies, improving validation, and streamlining onboarding.   Lisa is known as a true change agent, keeping culture, unit economics, and KPIs at the forefront of every transformation she leads—powered by grit, resilience, and a relentless work ethic.   Beyond corporate leadership, Lisa served as Chair of SCORE in Michigan, sat on the YMCA Board in Michigan where she helped drive donor fundraising, and was active in Toastmasters, contributing to membership growth.   Earning a Certified Franchise Executive, with the International Franchise Association in 2011, Lisa has also been instrumental in attracting top-tier executive talent into franchising and converting independent businesses into thriving franchise locations.   Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisahennigar/   Conclusion: Profit isn't accidental — it's the result of clarity, discipline, and intentional choices. As Lisa Hennigar reminds us, too many business owners ignore their why, overlook their numbers, or scale without strategy — and those blind spots quietly drain their wealth. The good news? Profit is always within reach when you track the right metrics, serve the right clients, and make simple, focused improvements.   Remember, your business should give you both time and money. If it's not, it's time to plug the leaks and reset your strategy.   #ProfitFirst #BusinessProfit #SmartScaling #EntrepreneurFinance #CashFlowFix #RevenueLeaks #BusinessClarity #OwnerPay   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. Sukhinder Singh Cassidy is the CEO of Xero. Xero is a cloud-based accounting software designed for small businesses. They did $2.1 billion in revenue last year. Over the past 25 years, Sukhinder has had leadership roles at Google, Amazon, and StubHub. Notes: Key Learnings Strategic CEO Job Search Criteria – Sukhinder had four non-negotiables: macro tailwinds/good market, customer she could be passionate about, strong business model, and a role where she could "learn for miles" for 5-8 years. Only two companies met her criteria in 18 months of searching. "Sell, Interview, Sell" Hiring Process – First meeting is 50% selling the opportunity to attract top talent. Only after candidates lean in do you shift to intensive interviewing with leadership team exposure. The Virtuous Cycle Framework – Customer at the top, supported by "high purpose, high performance, high people" culture. "It's an 'and,' not an 'or'" - you don't get to choose just one element. Back-Channeling is Critical – Reference checking happens throughout the entire interview process, not just at the end. "The most important thing is not just front channel... it's all the back channel." Values Alignment Over Pure Qualifications – "Go where my values fit and my strengths are valued." Cultural fit becomes the deciding factor in close hiring calls, not competence. The Layoff Leadership Test – Six weeks after joining, Sukhinder laid off 900 people based on McKinsey benchmarking. Showed consistency between the outside-in analysis presented to the board and transparent communication to employees. Portfolio of Bets Strategy – Balance growth, profitability, and customer happiness through diversified initiatives ranging from "safe moves" to "flyers," with clear probability assessments. Consistency as Culture Foundation – "Culture means consistency of message and what's important." Authenticity through change, not resistance to change. The 10-Slide CEO Interview Deck Framework: Vision statement (destination in 2-3 years) Outside-in market analysis Competitive landscape SWOT analysis of current position Five key strategic moves Implementation approach ("the how") Estimated outcomes with probability ranges Practical Application: Job Search Strategy – Define 4-5 non-negotiable criteria upfront. Be willing to wait for roles that truly meet your standards rather than taking "the job before the job." Interview Preparation – Always build a comprehensive thesis deck even if not requested. Use it to clarify your own thinking and demonstrate strategic capability. Hiring Excellence – Spend equal time selling the opportunity and evaluating candidates. Use diverse interview panels and back-channel extensively throughout the process. Cultural Leadership – Be consistent in messaging across all stakeholders (board, investors, employees). Authenticity enables trust during periods of change. Strategic Planning – Frame initiatives as a portfolio of bets with clear probability assessments. Balance growth, profitability, and customer satisfaction rather than optimizing for one. Leadership Hiring Process: The CEO interviews top 2-3 levels even without hiring authority Diverse interviewer panels with "bar raisers" Business problem-solving presentations in the final rounds Multiple leadership team interactions before the final decision Life Lessons: Patience in Career Progression – Sometimes the right opportunity requires waiting. Sukhinder was frustrated during 18 months of searching but found the perfect fit. Preparation Separates Candidates – The depth of strategic thinking demonstrated in final presentations often determines CEO selections. Culture Survives Through Consistency – Not avoiding change, but maintaining consistent values and communication approach through inevitable changes. Leadership Requires Tough Decisions – Laying off 900 people six weeks into the role, but doing it transparently and based on clear data/analysis. Value Creation Through Alignment – Finding roles where your strengths are valued and values align creates exponentially better outcomes than pure skill matching. Systems Thinking Builds Trust – Sharing appropriate "behind the scenes" context helps teams understand difficult decisions and builds long-term credibility. Early Career Focus – "Do great work for great people." Find talented leaders to apprentice under and work exceptionally hard to maximize learning. Authenticity Enables Performance – Being genuine about challenges and changes builds stronger relationships than trying to maintain artificial stability. Strategic Communication – Frame personal asks in terms of organizational benefits. Make it about solving their problems, not your desires. The Xero Transformation: Financial Performance: $2.1B revenue, 21% YoY growth while maintaining profitability Cultural Approach: "High purpose, high performance, high people" - no choosing between them Strategic Moves: Pricing/packaging optimization, sales motion transformation, customer experience reimagining (new dashboard with 3000+ customer inputs) Leadership Philosophy: Provide a "systems view" to employees, share investor-level insights appropriately, and maintain authenticity during difficult decisions

You've built success, but it still doesn't feel safe. This episode unpacks why high-capacity humans over-earn from fear — and how recalibration shifts you into enoughness, peace, and true provision.What happens when success still feels scarce — even after you've built more than enough?For many high-capacity humans, over-earning isn't about greed — it's about fear. The nervous system learned early that self-reliance equals survival, and so every season of abundance is still shadowed by an old story: collapse is coming.That's why provision without alignment becomes pressure. No number in the bank can settle the ache, because the nervous system doesn't measure dollars — it measures identity congruence. Until who you are feels secure, no income level will feel safe.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks why enoughness is an identity issue, not a net-worth issue. You'll discover:Why abundance often feels provisional — the body still living in yesterday's storyThe science of over-earning as a survival strategy, not ambitionThe language of the striving zone and provisional mindset — and why they never resolve with more zerosAndrew Carnegie's story: from poverty to over-earning, to philanthropy still shaped by pressureA five-step framework to begin recalibrating your money story into true enoughnessToday's Micro Recalibration:“Where am I still chasing security through more — when alignment would give me enough right now?”If you've ever pushed for more but never felt safe enough to rest, this episode will give you language for what you're experiencing and show you how recalibration shifts provision from pressure into peace.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.
