In this episode, I'm joined by Amanda Holden, who has built a powerful platform making investing feel truly accessible. She's now bringing that same approach to her new book, How to Be a Rich Old Lady. We dive into what it really takes to build wealth, why so many people get stuck before they even get started, and how investing isn't about being perfect, it's about taking action. Here's what we discuss: What financial independence really looks like beyond a number and how it gives you the freedom to choose how you live and work + more Why choosing between a 401(k) and a Roth IRA matters less than actually getting started and investing consistently How to think about investing while in debt and when to prioritize paying it off vs. building wealth The mindset shift needed to start investing even if you feel late or unsure, and why doing nothing guarantees staying stuck What's New in the Paperback Edition of Your Journey to Financial Freedom: A bonus chapter: When Life Happens: Staying on the Path to Financial Freedom Through Setbacks, Shifts, and Uncertainty A book club and discussion guide with prompts, exercises, and action steps Updated corrections from the original hardcover Exclusive bonuses when you purchase the paperback, including: The Fire Starter Course The Find Your FIRE Number Worksheet Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Check out Amanda's book, How to be a Rich Old Lady Listen to Episode 280: Saving $30k To Quit Corporate America & Pivot To Teaching Women How To Invest With Amanda Holden Get your paperback edition of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

In this episode, I explain why cheap decisions signal cheap positioning. When a decision carries little cost, people treat it as reversible and not very serious. The cost you are willing to pay, financially, reputationally, or through opportunity, shows how committed you really are. I talk about how people naturally respect what requires real investment and effort. When you understand this, you start making decisions that carry weight, and that changes how both you and others view your position. Show Notes: [05:35]#1 Low cost decisions signal low consequence outcomes. [08:45]#2 Expensive decisions create gravity without explanation. [16:57]#3 People follow consequence, not confidence. [19:58]Recap Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making.

It solves nothing — and may make the housing crisis worse.In this episode, we break down:• Why subsidizing housing always pushes prices higher• How federal grants and loan programs distort local markets• The real issue with corporate ownership of single-family homes• Why tax policy — not subsidies — is the real lever to discourage corporate home buying• Why Washington has no business dictating zoning in local communities• How new federal powers could let the Treasury reshape housing markets nationwide• And the real reason housing supply stays tight: bad incentives in the tax code

Confidence was one of the key themes from this Paris Fashion Week. Recording from the Vogue Paris office ahead of Chanel and Louis Vuitton, our hosts (and special guest Claire Thomson-Jonville, Head of Editorial Content at Vogue France) were in agreement: many of the new creative directors have stopped auditioning for their roles and started owning them. Nowhere was that clearer than at Givenchy, where Sarah Burton proved she'd hit her stride.Michael Rider's third outing for Celine at the Institut de France was also a highlight: "Expensive-looking, but aspirationally relatable," as Sarah Mower put it. The Michael Rider effect can already be seen in the wild, with Vogue staffers spotted doing their own styling interpretations inspired by the runway.Pieter Mulier's intimate farewell at Alaïa, with standing room and children in the audience, was a moving moment from the week. Mulier's decision to seat the full atelier team and commemorate them in a book felt particularly meaningful. As Paris Fashion Week came to a close, all eyes were once again on Matthieu Blazy's Chanel. British Vogue March cover star (and Run-Through alum!) Bhavitha Mandava was just announced as house ambassador, and her appearance on the runway is highly anticipated. As Chloe Malle said in her sign-off: "Happy Chanel Day to all who celebrate!" Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Last week we talked about property taxes being reset when land changes hands. That is true, but it is not the whole story. One of our listeners, Steve related a personal story which I'm going to share here. He writes:Your property tax episode struck home.  My family owned what started as landfill since 1969 in California.  In the late 90's it was full and a race track built on it.   The track builders signed a 25 year ground lease with extensions.  Since the lease was this long it was deemed an effective sale.  Taxes went from 15k/ year to over $200k per year.  Years later when we had to evict the tenants we got stuck with the new amount

In this episode, we unpack why so many people hold onto things they don't use, don't enjoy, and don't even like, and why over-keeping actually increases anxiety instead of creating security.As part of this ongoing decluttering series, this conversation connects the dots between mental clutter, emotional clutter, and environmental clutter—and exposes how fear of the future quietly keeps you stuck in the past.You'll learn:Why “just in case” thinking keeps decisions unfinishedHow clutter signals distrust in your ability to handle what's aheadWhy preparing for every possible scenario costs you peace in the presentHow clutter becomes a physical reminder of postponed choicesThis episode answers the question:Why do I keep things I don't even like or use?If you've been following this series, this episode builds directly on the themes of overload, depletion, invisible commitments, undefined “enough,” and emotional weight—bringing it all back to one core belief that fuels clutter at every level.Awareness is the first step.

The ultra-wealthy get access to private equity, private credit, and pre-IPO deals the rest of us don't. Now, suddenly, those same deals are being marketed to you. Coincidence? Maybe. Cause for suspicion? Absolutely. Joe, OG, and Doug settle in at the basement desk (yes, Joe's mom's basement — the most prestigious financial address in podcasting) to dig into a Wall Street Journal headline asking whether everyday investors should be chasing the same private deals as the 1%. OG breaks down why "exclusive access" and "higher returns" can also mean binary outcomes, illiquidity traps, and a failure rate that the ultra-wealthy can absorb — and you probably can't. Oh, and there's a Ty Lopez–led retail investment that allegedly became a Ponzi scheme. So that's fun. What's in today's episode: Why private equity and private credit are suddenly being pitched to regular investors — and what that timing might tell you The real difference between risk-free returns, stock market investing, and private bets (they are not the same thing, no matter what the brochure says) How "exclusive opportunity" can be a polite way of saying "binary outcome with limited exits" A real-world look at regulation risk using Airbnb as the example What liquidity actually means — and what happens when you need your money back and the market says "no" The Ty Lopez distressed retail saga and how it allegedly went full Ponzi Why private credit often means lending to borrowers who couldn't get money elsewhere The uncomfortable truth about who gets targeted by aggressive investment marketing (hint: it's people who feel behind) OG also walks through an SEC-inspired framework for evaluating any investment before you hand over a dollar: Build a financial roadmap before chasing complex deals Know your actual risk tolerance (not the aspirational version) Diversify — for real, not just in theory Handle your emergency fund and high-interest debt first Grab every employer match on the table Rebalance regularly How to spot the early signs of fraud before it costs you Also in the basement: Doug drops Mustang trivia (the 1964 Ford kind, not the horse kind). The TikTok Minute rides off into the sunset, replaced by a shiny new back-to-basics segment. There are community meetup updates — including Benjamins After Dark in Boston. And somehow, against all odds, Kool-Aid nostalgia becomes a conversation. Because sometimes the most dangerous investment isn't the one that looks risky. It's the one that sounds like something only smart, wealthy, connected people get access to. Pull up a chair. The basement is open.

As much as we prepare students with practice passages and strategy review, many performance struggles happen before students even answer a question.When test anxiety sets in, students may skim or skip directions entirely, misread what's being asked, or overlook key details like “not,” “compare,” or “from least to greatest.” In this episode, Sara and Emily discuss why this happens and how teachers can intentionally build direction-reading habits long before test day. They share practical tips and insights to make test season less stressful for both teachers and students.Key Takeaways: Importance of reading test directions carefully (and activity ideas for practice)Strategies to teach students to interpret instructionsBuilding student confidence and reducing anxiety during testsResources Connected to this Episode: Free Test Prep Email Series at www.stellarteacher.com/testprepTest Taking Strategies Bundle on TPTStay connected with us!

Shownotes Just a week into America's war of choice on Iran, the costs already are spiraling out of control. The lives lost and broken are the most important cost. But there's a colossal price tag for waging war, and America's opening salvo has a number: $5 billion for the first week and a reported $50 billion that the Trump Administration is planning to seek from Congress. The American defense budget this year is the world's largest, at $1 trillion. As a point of comparison, it would have cost less than $30 billion to extend health care subsidies to Americans through 2026.  Analysts have spent decades tallying the costs of America's forever wars: direct costs in equipment and personal and indirect costs in long term health care. Perhaps the most powerful long-term cost is in opportunities: when the United States pours its resources into warmaking, it starves resources to the spheres that create opportunity and well-being: health care, education, research and development. William D. Hartung, long-time researcher of the American defense-industrial complex and author of The Trillion-Dollar War Machine joins Order from Ashes this week to survey the staggering costs of the Iran war.
