Financial Repercussions are the result of decisions made without Discipline. Every move in the stock market has a consequence just like every action in life. GOD is clear about this you reap what you sow. When you ignore risk management chase plays or trade off emotion the market doesn't punish you it responds. Those losses aren't bad luck they are feedback telling you something in your process is out of order. GOD gives Grace but the Market gives Receipts. Financial Repercussions are meant to teach not destroy. When you start respecting capital protecting profits and waiting for confirmation you stop paying unnecessary tuition. Wealth grows when accountability replaces excuses. Once you align your actions with wisdom patience and structure, the repercussions turn into rewards and the market begins to honor the way you move.Horizon Trust - Keep More. Retire BIGGER

Financial stress has a way of getting into everything—your sleep, your conversations, your sense of security, and even your peace with God. This devotional opens with an honest picture many people recognize: the cost of living rising, unexpected expenses piling up, and the uneasy feeling that no matter how hard you work or how carefully you plan, you’re still barely getting by. When budgets are tight and debt feels heavy, anxiety can hit fast with a single thought: How are we going to recover from this? What makes the situation even more discouraging is when you’ve tried to do the “right” things—avoiding unnecessary spending, saving where you can, and giving faithfully—yet still feel trapped. The devotional doesn’t shame that struggle. Instead, it reminds us that Scripture takes money seriously and speaks to it often, because finances reveal what we trust, what we fear, and what we serve. Philippians 4:19 offers a steady anchor: God promises to meet our needs according to His riches in Christ. That doesn’t mean believers are guaranteed wealth or a problem-free financial life. But it does mean we are not abandoned. God’s provision is real, and He invites us to live with open hands—using money as a tool rather than a master, practicing generosity with joy, and seeking wisdom to steward what He has entrusted to us. In seasons where money is tight, the devotional encourages a posture shift: from panic to prayer, from striving alone to seeking God’s discernment. Faithfulness isn’t just about giving; it’s about honoring God in the way we save, spend, plan, and respond under pressure. When we ask God to show us where to adjust, to build healthier habits, and to trust His care, we begin to experience His guidance and peace—often one practical step at a time. Main Takeaways Financial pressure can stir fear, but God invites us to bring that anxiety to Him. God doesn’t promise prosperity, but He does promise faithful provision for our needs. Scripture calls believers to steward money wisely, not be mastered by it. Generosity and gratitude are part of trusting God, even in uncertain seasons. Asking God for wisdom can lead to practical changes that reduce stress and honor Him. Today’s Bible Verse And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:19 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Show us areas where we can improve… Grant us ways to foster healthy habits with our income… as we give, save, and spend wisely.” You can listen to the full prayer here, or read the prayer and devotional at the links below.

Ben Felix and Braden Warwick are joined by Dr. Charles Chaffin, a leading voice in financial psychology, to explore why investors so often act against their own best interests—and how better tools and frameworks can help bridge the gap between rational plans and real human behavior. The conversation blends behavioral finance, goal setting, and risk profiling, while also introducing a new evidence-based risk tolerance questionnaire now being made publicly available to listeners. The episode digs into why humans are wired for short-term survival rather than long-term optimization, how biases and environment shape financial decisions, and why coaching—not transactions—is becoming the advisor's most important role. Charles explains concepts like money scripts, financial flashpoints, identity-based goals, and financial self-efficacy, tying them directly to investing behavior and client outcomes. The discussion also goes deep on financial risk tolerance: what it really is, why people consistently misjudge it, and why psychometric tools outperform traditional questionnaires.

Roofing Market Report: https://roofmarketreport.com/---Tim Brown runs one of roofings most well known marketing agencies… and now he's starting his own roofing company. He's entering the market in one of the worst times in recent history. Will his expertise as a marketer give him a competitive advantage, or will his strategy fail?I interviewed Tim to find out how a professional marketer like him would launch a new roofing company in 2026. I openly disagreed with some of his strategies, but I'm open to being proved wrong. And I truly admire his vulnerability and desire to challenge the status quo.P.S. Even though I don't agree with Tim on everything he's doing, I sincerely appreciated our conversation. I believe ‘Like-mindedness' creates a cult and echo chamber. I like surrounding myself with people who share my values but think differently. That way I can learn from diverse perspectives, just like I did in this interview. This is the type of culture you'll find inside RSRA. Rich conversations where we challenge the status quo and help each other grow.

On this episode of the Ballard Spahr Consumer Finance Monitor Podcast, we examine consumer debt and bankruptcy through the lens of Debt's Grip: Risk and Consumer Bankruptcy (University of California Press, 2025), by Pamela Foohey, Robert M. Lawless, and Deborah Thorne. Based on decades of research from the Consumer Bankruptcy Project, the nation's most comprehensive study of bankruptcy filers, Debt's Grip goes beyond aggregate data to document the lived experience of financial distress. The book shows how illness, job loss, aging, family structure, debt collection, and racial inequality converge to push households toward bankruptcy and what that reveals about how financial risk is allocated in the U.S. economy. Rather than treating bankruptcy as a personal failure, the authors demonstrate how policy choices over time shifted economic risk from institutions to individuals, leaving many households one unexpected expense away from crisis. Those risks fall unevenly, with Black families, single mothers, and older Americans disproportionately affected. The Authors Pamela Foohey, Allen Post Professor of Law, University of Georgia School of Law, is a principal investigator with the Consumer Bankruptcy Project and a leading scholar on bankruptcy and financial distress. Robert M. Lawless, Max L. Rowe Professor of Law, University of Illinois College of Law, is a nationally recognized empirical scholar of bankruptcy and consumer finance and a principal investigator of the Consumer Bankruptcy Project. Deborah Thorne, Professor of Sociology at the University of Idaho, brings a critical sociological lens, foregrounding the voices and experiences of bankruptcy filers. She also is a principal investigator of the Consumer Bankruptcy Project. Podcast Highlights In the episode, we discuss: ·        Why people actually file for bankruptcy ·        The debts most likely to lead to financial collapse ·        How households struggle to stay afloat before filing ·        The role of debt collection and litigation ·        How people come to see bankruptcy as a solution ·        Policy reforms that could reduce reliance on credit during hardship Key Takeaways ·        Bankruptcy is rarely about irresponsibility. It is often the endpoint of systemic risk-shifting. ·        Financial distress is structurally unequal. Race, age, gender, and health matter. ·        Filers exhaust alternatives before filing. Bankruptcy reflects resilience under pressure, not moral hazard. ·        Policy choices matter. Stronger safety nets and a more humane bankruptcy system can reduce financial harm. Conclusion Debt's Grip offers a rigorous, data-driven, and deeply human account of consumer bankruptcy in America. It challenges entrenched myths and provides valuable insight for policymakers, regulators, and industry participants alike. We thank Professors Foohey, Lawless, and Thorne for joining the podcast and for their important contribution to the field. Consumer Finance Monitor is hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel at Ballard Spahr, and the founder and former chair of the firm's Consumer Financial Services Group. We encourage listeners to subscribe to the podcast on their preferred platform for weekly insights into developments in the consumer finance industry.

In this deeply soulful episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, we are joined by financial planner and emotional wellness advocate Julie Murphy, a money behaviour expert with nearly 30 years of experience helping high-achieving women and men align their wealth with their inner truth.Julie has managed over half a billion dollars in assets, yet what truly sets her apart is her understanding that financial success without alignment leads to burnout, disconnection, and quiet dissatisfaction. Through her transformational PACT Method (Picture, Accept, Commit, Take Action), Julie helps people break free from subconscious money patterns and build wealth that feels like freedom, not pressure.In this conversation, we explore how money mirrors the mind, how fear and conditioning shape our financial decisions, and how emotional wellness is the missing link in most wealth strategies. Julie also shares how spirituality, intuition, and self-worth play a central role in creating financial sovereignty.This episode is for you if you have achieved success on paper but feel something is missing inside.In this episode, you will learn:Why alignment matters more than traditional successHow the PACT Method creates emotional and financial clarityThe most common subconscious money patterns keeping people stuckHow burnout and perfectionism show up in financial behaviourHow spirituality and energy influence wealth creationWhy self-worth is the real foundation of financial freedomChapters00:00 Introduction to Financial Alignment and Wellness06:39 The Importance of Inner Truth in Financial Success13:49 Understanding the PACT Method for Financial Growth22:04 Shifting from Fear to Authentic Financial Decisions25:33 Embracing Authenticity26:46 Awakening Your Wealth: The PACT Method31:55 Finding Harmony Over Hustle34:15 Reframing Your Money Story37:02 The Spirituality of Financial Success39:36 Discovering Your True Self43:20 Empowerment and Self-DiscoveryGuest: Julie MurphyFinancial Planner and Emotional Wellness AdvocateWebsite: juliemurphy.comInstagram: @awakenwithjulieYour transformation begins the moment you decide to look within.Let this book walk with you.

Every advisor wants more referrals, but very few have built a business that consistently earns them.In this conversation, I sat down with Duncan MacPherson to unpack what actually makes an advisory firm referable. Duncan is the founder of Pareto Systems and one of the most respected coaches in financial services, with nearly 30 years spent working alongside top advisory firms. He explains why the advisors who scale fastest stop pitching products, start positioning a clear planning process, and build businesses that get found instead of chased.3 of the biggest insights from Duncan MacPherson…#1.) Advisors Don't Need More Referrals, They Need to Be ReferableMost advisors focus on asking for referrals, but Duncan explains why that actually creates friction. The real breakthrough happens when clients clearly understand (and can easily explain) what makes your process different. #2.) The Best Advisors Don't Sell Products, They Position Their ProcessThe biggest shift in financial services isn't technology, it's philosophy. The most successful advisors have moved on from pitching products by effectively using branding and clearly articulating a proprietary process, creating deeper engagement, stronger loyalty, and a business that scales without becoming more complicated.#3.) A Business That Depends on You Is a Business That Limits YouOne of the clearest signals of a healthy business is whether it can operate without the founder's constant presence. Duncan explains why documenting intellectual property, empowering teams, and depersonalizing the business isn't about ego—it's about freedom, sustainability, and enterprise value.

Most people start small because they are scared to think big. Ben Reinberg did the opposite.In his early twenties, with no family money and no track record, Ben syndicated a 95000 square foot industrial building. He raised millions by shaking hands, being transparent, and knowing his numbers cold. That first deal did not just make money. It rewired how he thought about risk, confidence, and wealth. Today, Ben has built and operated over 12 million square feet of commercial real estate. His portfolio spans industrial, office, retail, medical, and veterinary assets across the country. He is one of the leaders in medical office investing and has delivered decades of consistent results for investors. In this episode, we go behind the scenes of how Ben raised capital before the internet, why hard assets outperform chaos, and how controlling your emotions at the table is the real unfair advantage. We also break down medical office investing, why funds can beat single deals for diversification, and how Ben is using AI to stay ahead while most operators are still catching up. This is a masterclass in thinking bigger, staying calm, and playing the long game.  Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Donald Trump's attacks on longtime US "allies" have forced Western leaders to admit their warmongering foreign policy was hypocritical. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said the truth in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos: the "rules-based order" was "false". Ben Norton explains how the global balance of power is shifting.

On Jesse's 13th AMA episode, he steps back from tactics and returns to first principles, answering listener questions that cut to the core of what financial planning actually is—and what it is not. He begins by dismantling the common assumption that a portfolio and a financial plan are interchangeable, explaining why investing is only one component of a much broader process that aligns cash flow, risk, taxes, goals, and life transitions across decades. From there, Jesse walks listeners through his end-to-end financial planning framework, starting with values and goal clarification, moving through balance sheets, cash flow, taxes, insurance, and estate planning, and ending with implementation and ongoing iteration as life evolves. Using the example of young adults in their 20s, he highlights where early financial energy is best spent: awareness of spending, intentional goal-setting, early investing for learning and compounding, and developing human capital through career growth. The episode closes with a thoughtful response to a fellow planner's question about client inertia, blending behavioral finance and lived experience to explain why busy, successful people often delay planning—and how patience, education, structure, and progress over perfection can create momentum without coercion. Throughout, Jesse reinforces a central theme: real financial planning is not about perfect portfolios, but about creating clarity, flexibility, and forward motion in an uncertain and deeply human life. Key Takeaways: • A portfolio and a financial plan are not the same thing. Investing is only one component of comprehensive financial planning. • Your financial plan must align money with goals, values, and life realities. • Financial plans must evolve as careers, families, and health change. • Career growth can compound more powerfully than portfolio tweaks. • Client inertia is usually about time, emotion, or uncertainty—not laziness. • The ultimate goal of planning is clarity, flexibility, and peace of mind. Progress does not have to be linear or immediate to be meaningful.

For more thoughts, clips, and updates, follow Avetis Antaplyan on Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/avetisantaplyan⁠In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Alex Shartsis, serial founder, former corporate development lead, and current CEO of Skyp.ai—to unpack the real cost of “growth at all costs.” With scars and exits to back his views, Alex offers a candid breakdown of what founders get wrong about product-market fit, fundraising traps, and the often-misunderstood economics of scaling.Together, they explore why bootstrapping is back in vogue, how over-raising can kill flexibility, and how AI is redefining what it means to be a lean operator. Alex draws from his time at Perfect Price and now Skyp.ai to expose the hidden “footwork” behind successful GTM strategies and why most SaaS founders underprice out of insecurity. The conversation is loaded with tactical advice—from navigating platform creep to testing pricing thresholds—and peppered with war stories from the front lines of both venture-backed and bootstrapped journeys.Whether you're scaling an AI startup or building quietly with customer revenue, this episode challenges conventional wisdom and lays out what durable, customer-obsessed growth looks like in 2026.TakeawaysMany founders mistake a short burst of sales or demand for true product-market fit, leading to premature scaling and churn.Financial acquirers focus on cash flows; strategic acquirers pay for fit. Most founders don't deeply understand either.Venture capital often creates misaligned incentives. Founders lose control over exits and may be pushed to chase unsustainable valuations.Bootstrapping forces discipline: every dollar must generate near-term return, every decision must align with customer need.Raising too early or too much reduces urgency, increases burn, and often leads to wasteful bets and bloated teams.SaaS buyers increasingly value smaller vendors who prioritize service over scale.Advice is context-dependent: founders must be careful not to blindly copy tactics that worked in a different market or macro.AI tools enable hands-on execution and eliminate layers of communication, especially for lean teams.Founders often “hide their footwork”—the unseen details that actually drive GTM success.Customer proximity and rapid iteration beat slide decks and assumptions every time.Chapters00:00 Growth at All Costs Is Dead01:07 What Acquirers Really Care About02:35 The Mirage of Product-Market Fit05:10 Amazon vs. Realistic Unit Economics06:44 When Losing Money Is Okay—And When It's Not08:01 The Advice Trap: When Playbooks Expire10:01 The SurveyMonkey Blueprint (And Its Limits)13:06 How Bootstrapping Forces Better Decision-Making17:34 Owning the Downside: Founders vs. VCs20:13 Building a $5M Business Without Needing a Billion-Dollar Exit22:30 Platform Creep and Product Dilution27:53 Customer Success Is the Real Differentiator29:49 Jiu-Jitsu and GTM Footwork36:39 How AI Changes How Work Gets Done44:43 Prototyping, Building, and Speed with AI Tools46:41 Pricing Insecurity and Willingness to Pay51:01 You Are Not Your Customer: Pricing Psychology53:48 Cheap Gym Memberships, Expensive LessonsAlex Shartsis's Social Media Link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/shartsis/Resources and Links:⁠⁠https://www.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.podcast.hireclout.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright⁠

In this episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost examine a rapidly unfolding global financial reckoning centered on Credit Suisse and the broader international banking system. The discussion traces newly revealed Nazi-linked accounts, money laundering pipelines, and the role of major banks in facilitating corruption, cartel financing, and illicit capital flows over decades. The conversation moves through historical context including Bretton Woods, the petrodollar system, and the weaponization of finance, before turning to modern developments involving sanctions, currency manipulation, and intelligence-linked financial networks. Particular attention is given to investigations involving PDVSA, international drug trafficking finance, and the exposure of banking structures operating beyond national oversight. Throughout the episode, Matt and Ghost emphasize continuity between past and present financial power structures, highlighting how moral collapse in finance disconnects economies from real production and public accountability. The result is a wide-ranging, historically grounded analysis of how global banking functions as a tool of control, and why its unraveling appears to be accelerating.

Gold and silver just experienced a sharp crash, and for a lot of women, it triggered confusion, fear, and “what do I do now?”.In this episode, I slow everything down and give you the context you actually need to understand what just happened, why commodities move the way they do, and how to think about this kind of volatility without panicking or making reactive decisions. Tune in to learn:What a commodity actually isWhat just happened with gold, silver, and other commoditiesWhy commodities can drop fast—even when nothing is “wrong”Why people buy commodities in the first placeHow to understand this kind of volatility without losing your mind

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, Tom Bilyeu takes you on a deep dive into the radical transformation of the global financial system—a shift that is redefining the rules of investing, and impacting everything from your mortgage rates to international alliances. The era where the US dollar acted as a neutral bridge for global trade is officially over. Now, the dollar is a weapon of economic statecraft, used strategically to reward allies and punish adversaries on the world stage. Tom Bilyeu unpacks the recent moves by the US Treasury and Federal Reserve, their ripple effects on the yen and US bonds, and why the classic “set it and forget it” approach to investing might be obsolete. You'll learn how the age of polite globalism is giving way to a lower-trust, more volatile world—where nations are building financial walls and alliances are driven by survival rather than harmony. Get ready to rethink your approach to wealth, risk, and opportunity as Tom Bilyeu explores how power, not trust, now drives the world order—and what you can do to stay ahead. Let's dive in.

Why can't you get past the patterns and habits that seem to hold you back—even when you love God and want to grow? In this episode, Candace and Madi talk honestly about the small, unconfessed compromises that shape a life over time. They unpack why sin rarely starts big, the difference between falling into sin and choosing to live in it, and why the fear of the Lord is rooted in reverence, not distance. Madi shares a powerful story about double red flags at the beach and a lifeguard pleading with people to get out of the water - not to ruin their fun, but to save their lives. Candace adds practical wisdom about daily surrender, prayer, Scripture, and learning to say “no” when it matters most. They also respond to listener questions about prayer and marriage: • Sheila: “Can you talk to God like he's your best friend, or is that disrespectful?” • Rita: Advice for a couple who are new to their faith and preparing for marriage Connect with Candace and Madison Candace on Instagram @candacecbure  Follow the Podcast on Instagram @candacecameronburepodcast  Follow the Podcast on TikTok @ccbpodcast Follow Madison Prewett Troutt on Instagram: @madiprew Website: https://www.madiprew.com/ YouTube:@madiprewett2381 Sponsors For This Episode 316 Financial https://bank316.com/candace IFCJ ifcj.org GCU https://gcu.edu NOCD nocd.com WeShare https://eshare.org/candace Solo Mio https://angel.com/candace Learn more about your ad choices.

Highlight her mission to empower the African American community to not only keep up with AI—but lead in it. [ Demonstrate how AI tools can transform operations, content creation, finances, and productivity in minutes instead of months. Inspire listeners through her entrepreneurial journey, professional pivots, and personal resilience. 2. High-Level Summary Alicia Lyttle returns to the show two years after her last appearance, now positioned at the forefront of the global AI movement. She explains how her work has shifted from annual summits to monthly AI Business Summits, teaching tens of thousands of entrepreneurs how to use AI hands‑on for content, marketing, operations, and scaling. She breaks down how simple tools—such as NotebookLM, ChatGPT, Jasper, Gemini, and HeyGen—can turn a single piece of content into newsletters, PowerPoints, videos, study guides, and more. She stresses that AI is now accessible, especially with free versions like ChatGPT. Alicia also shares her origin story in AI, beginning with a 15‑year‑old speaker at Walmart Tech Live describing IBM Watson. This sparked her fascination and ultimately led her to pivot her entire company toward full-time AI training and consulting by 2022—despite skepticism from her peers. She details the massive growth of her brand, including 21,000+ live summit attendees and explosive social media expansion. The interview also addresses AI’s role in finance, healthcare, government, job disruption, and how individuals can future‑proof themselves. Her personal story of overcoming a restrictive ex-husband who told her she would “never speak again” underscores her powerful message: no one should silence your gifts. Now she speaks to thousands, leads major events, and helps others build new careers in AI. 3. Key Takeaways A. AI Is Evolving Fast—and So Must We AI is changing so quickly that entrepreneurs cannot afford to wait for annual updates. This is why Alicia shifted to monthly training summits.

Her approach eliminates fear and teaches entrepreneurs how to use AI immediately. C. Accessibility Has Changed the Game The release of ChatGPT, especially the free version, democratized AI. Before that, tools like IBM Watson were too complex and expensive. Now anyone with a laptop and internet connection can build websites, write content, or automate business flows in minutes. [ D. The African American Community Must Lead—Not Follow Alicia emphasizes that historically, Black communities have been “last in line” in tech innovation, but this AI era presents a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity to jump ahead.She sees it as her mission to speak everywhere Black entrepreneurs are to ensure they seize this moment. E. AI Will Replace Tasks—But People Can Future‑Proof Themselves Jobs are already shifting.

Her success proves resilience and purpose overcome adversity. 4. Key Quotes On AI Opportunity “Never has there been a better time in history to start, build, or scale a business than right now.” On Training Entrepreneurs “Open your laptops… use the same prompt I use. See what results you get.” On the Power of AI Tools “You can take one episode and repurpose it into all these different content ways.” On Pivoting Her Entire Company “In 2022, I said we’re closing this business and going all in on AI.” On Being Black in Tech “My mission is to make sure our community is not left behind—but ahead of the curve.” On Personal Resilience “You will be speaking on the best stages… people will come to see you.”(A friend’s response after she was told she’d “never speak again.”) On Future-Proofing Careers “Those using AI will replace you. You have to learn how to leverage AI.” On AI as a Human-First Technology “AI plus human intelligence—that’s what takes things to the next level.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. Summary of the Interview: Dr. Willie Jolley on Money Making Conversations Masterclass Dr. Willie Jolley—Hall of Fame speaker, bestselling author, and longtime SiriusXM host—joins Rushion McDonald to discuss his new book Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better. The conversation focuses on redefining wealth, transforming money mindsets, developing discipline, and overcoming setbacks to build generational prosperity. Throughout the interview, Dr. Jolley shares insights gathered over 20 years of interviewing billionaires, CEOs, and major wealth creators. He outlines the crucial difference between being rich (high income) and being wealthy (owning assets that work without you). He emphasizes the role of discipline, humility, learning, and generational thinking in achieving sustainable wealth. The interview closes with Jolley’s personal comeback story—from nightclub singer to world‑renowned speaker—and his message that it’s never too late to change your financial future. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Promote and explain Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better,” which clarifies the difference between income-based wealth (rich) and asset‑based, multi‑generational wealth (wealthy). 2. Teach listeners how to shift their money mindset Jolley walks through the five levels of money thinking, showing how most Americans operate in the lower levels due to habit or lack of knowledge. 3. Encourage financial independence and discipline Listeners—especially entrepreneurs and families—learn the role of discipline, insurance, multiple income streams, and investment. 4. Provide motivation through Jolley’s story His setback-to-comeback story proves that financial and personal reinvention is possible at any age. 5. Address generational wealth and financial stewardship The book is also written for parents/grandparents worried their heirs may squander what they built. Key Takeaways 1. The crucial difference between rich and wealthy Rich = working income; stops when you stop. Wealthy = assets + systems; money works even when you don’t. Rich is “good”—but wealth is “better” because it is sustainable. 2. Wealth begins with mindset Jolley identifies five money mindsets: One‑day mindset (daily survival) 30‑day mindset (check-to-check) One‑year mindset Decade mindset (athletes/entertainers) Generational mindset (true wealth builders) His goal: move people one level higher. 3. Discipline is the #1 lever for wealth Wealth requires: Living below your means Consistent investment Protecting what you have Maintaining health, relationships, reputation, and intellectual capital 4. The “Five Types of Wealth” Financial wealth Health wealth Relationship wealth Reputational/brand wealth Intellectual capital wealthAll contribute to long-term prosperity. 5. The 3 Legs of Wealth Income Save & invest the difference Insurance to protect assets (life, health, disability, long‑term care) 6. At least two streams of income are essential Examples: stocks, real estate, crypto, collectibles, content creation. 7. Pride destroys wealth People overspend to look successful rather than be successful.Pride → debt → stress → financial ruin.Humility → learning → planning → wealth. 8. It’s never too late to become wealthy He shares stories of: A domestic worker who died with $2.7M A secretary who accumulated $8M A former drug dealer who reached nearly $900K starting at age 65All achieved wealth by small investments over long periods. 9. A setback is a setup for a comeback Jolley’s message is deeply motivational: Losing his singing job led him into speaking Speaking led to radio Radio led to books Books led to global influenceHe frames adversity as opportunity. Notable Quotes (from the transcript) On Wealth vs. Rich “Rich is good. Wealthy is better.” “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” “It’s hard to hit what you can’t see—and even harder to hit what you don’t know.” (on knowing the target) On Discipline “The key to success in growing wealth is discipline.” [ On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth. I had to let the pride go so I could grab hold of the wealth.” On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” “Your setback is not the end of the story unless you choose it to be.” On Starting Late “Anybody can become wealthy if you use these principles.” “When is the best time to plant a tree? 80 years ago. The second-best time? Today.” In One Sentence The interview teaches that becoming wealthy is less about income and more about mindset, discipline, humility, and long-term planning—and that anyone can build generational wealth starting right now. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Kouri Richins was arrested in May 2023 for allegedly poisoning her husband Eric with a fentanyl-laced Moscow Mule, the case against her seemed overwhelming. Financial desperation. Life insurance policies. A housekeeper who said she sold Kouri the drugs. A drug dealer who confirmed the fentanyl. Nearly three years later, as jury selection approaches for her February 2026 trial, the prosecution's case has been carved up by defense wins and judicial rulings. The drug dealer, Robert Crozier, has recanted — now claiming under oath he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl. Judge Mrazik severed 26 financial felony charges from the murder trial, meaning the jury won't hear about Kouri's alleged mortgage fraud, money laundering, or the nearly $5 million her business owed the day after Eric died. The prosecution's domestic violence expert was blocked. Their FBI behavioral profiler was limited to rebuttal-only testimony and cannot be used to suggest guilt. Statements Kouri made during a 2022 search were suppressed because detectives didn't Mirandize her. What prosecutors still have: Carmen Lauber's testimony, Eric's toxicology showing five times the lethal dose of fentanyl, an orange notebook allegedly detailing the night of his death, and the infamous "Walk the Dog" letter found in Kouri's jail cell that prosecutors call witness tampering. The defense says it was fiction. The Utah Supreme Court refused to move the trial out of Summit County despite surveys showing nearly 80% of residents recognize the case. Eight jurors will decide if what's left is enough to convict.#KouriRichins #TrueCrimeToday #EricRichins #UtahMurder #FentanylPoisoning #MurderTrial #WalkTheDogLetter #DefenseWins #TrueCrimePodcast #KouriRichinsTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. Summary of the Interview: Dr. Willie Jolley on Money Making Conversations Masterclass Dr. Willie Jolley—Hall of Fame speaker, bestselling author, and longtime SiriusXM host—joins Rushion McDonald to discuss his new book Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better. The conversation focuses on redefining wealth, transforming money mindsets, developing discipline, and overcoming setbacks to build generational prosperity. Throughout the interview, Dr. Jolley shares insights gathered over 20 years of interviewing billionaires, CEOs, and major wealth creators. He outlines the crucial difference between being rich (high income) and being wealthy (owning assets that work without you). He emphasizes the role of discipline, humility, learning, and generational thinking in achieving sustainable wealth. The interview closes with Jolley’s personal comeback story—from nightclub singer to world‑renowned speaker—and his message that it’s never too late to change your financial future. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Promote and explain Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better,” which clarifies the difference between income-based wealth (rich) and asset‑based, multi‑generational wealth (wealthy). 2. Teach listeners how to shift their money mindset Jolley walks through the five levels of money thinking, showing how most Americans operate in the lower levels due to habit or lack of knowledge. 3. Encourage financial independence and discipline Listeners—especially entrepreneurs and families—learn the role of discipline, insurance, multiple income streams, and investment. 4. Provide motivation through Jolley’s story His setback-to-comeback story proves that financial and personal reinvention is possible at any age. 5. Address generational wealth and financial stewardship The book is also written for parents/grandparents worried their heirs may squander what they built. Key Takeaways 1. The crucial difference between rich and wealthy Rich = working income; stops when you stop. Wealthy = assets + systems; money works even when you don’t. Rich is “good”—but wealth is “better” because it is sustainable. 2. Wealth begins with mindset Jolley identifies five money mindsets: One‑day mindset (daily survival) 30‑day mindset (check-to-check) One‑year mindset Decade mindset (athletes/entertainers) Generational mindset (true wealth builders) His goal: move people one level higher. 3. Discipline is the #1 lever for wealth Wealth requires: Living below your means Consistent investment Protecting what you have Maintaining health, relationships, reputation, and intellectual capital 4. The “Five Types of Wealth” Financial wealth Health wealth Relationship wealth Reputational/brand wealth Intellectual capital wealthAll contribute to long-term prosperity. 5. The 3 Legs of Wealth Income Save & invest the difference Insurance to protect assets (life, health, disability, long‑term care) 6. At least two streams of income are essential Examples: stocks, real estate, crypto, collectibles, content creation. 7. Pride destroys wealth People overspend to look successful rather than be successful.Pride → debt → stress → financial ruin.Humility → learning → planning → wealth. 8. It’s never too late to become wealthy He shares stories of: A domestic worker who died with $2.7M A secretary who accumulated $8M A former drug dealer who reached nearly $900K starting at age 65All achieved wealth by small investments over long periods. 9. A setback is a setup for a comeback Jolley’s message is deeply motivational: Losing his singing job led him into speaking Speaking led to radio Radio led to books Books led to global influenceHe frames adversity as opportunity.

In this episode, we talk with a contractor who built a millionaire net worth without sky-high incomes or an inheritance. He and his wife have paid off their home, invested consistently, and recently took the leap to start a contracting business just nine months ago. Starting out making a combined $70,000 and never earning more than $210,000 in a year, they prove you do not need a massive salary to build real wealth. They have an impressive 65 percent savings rate, and their story is a powerful reminder that consistency beats income alone. This podcast is sponsored by Bob Bhayani at Protuity.
