Podcasts about financial decisions

Financial success is not simply about accumulating more it is about making intentional decisions that support your values, relationships, and long-term goals. In this episode of Daily Influence, host Gregg-Brooke Koleno speaks with Chad Coe, founder and president of Coe Financial Group, about values-based financial leadership, entrepreneurship, trust, and community impact. Chad shares how early experiences in sales and entrepreneurship shaped his career, why vulnerability and authentic relationships are essential to building trust, and how emotionally driven financial decisions can create serious and unnecessary consequences. He also discusses a failed business venture that cost him significantly but ultimately redirected him toward more meaningful and rewarding work. Listeners will learn how to slow down when facing high-pressure decisions, separate facts from fear and urgency, and evaluate choices based on their values, goals, and desired future. Chad also explains how consistency, mentorship, community involvement, and intentional scheduling have helped him build a successful life and positively influence others. This conversation offers practical guidance for anyone seeking greater clarity, accountability, and purpose in their financial, professional, or personal decisions.

How much should your age influence the financial decisions you make? On this episode of The Wealth Guardians Radio Show, Garrett Ray and Brice Payne discuss how financial priorities and decision-making can change as people move through different stages of life. From saving and investing to managing risk, preparing for retirement, and thinking about income needs, age can play an important role in shaping the choices people make with their money. Garrett and Brice explore why financial planning should evolve over time and why the strategies that make sense earlier in life may look very different as retirement gets closer.

Many people believe building wealth is about making the perfect financial decision. The reality is it's about making the right decisions in the right order. In this episode of The Budgetdog Breakdown, I answer real listener questions about saving for college, prioritizing retirement, budgeting with unpredictable income, buying a home while investing, and overcoming the trap of comparing your finances to everyone else's. We discuss why retirement should usually come before college savings, how self-employed individuals can build a reliable budget, why financial comparison is one of the biggest wealth killers, and how creating simple systems makes every financial decision easier. Money isn't just about math. It's about priorities. Episode Timeline and Highlights 00:00 Why wealthy people rely on systems 00:19 College savings vs. retirement 06:07 Budgeting with variable income 09:37 Buying a home while investing 11:17 Escaping the comparison trap 14:28 Why retirement usually comes first 17:07 Final thoughts Key Takeaways • Retirement should usually be prioritized before college savings • Variable income can still be managed with a system • Financial comparison creates unnecessary stress • Clear priorities make difficult decisions easier • Planning beats guessing • Wealth is built through consistency, not perfection Quotables "Wealthy people aren't wealthy because they win every day. They use systems that make losing hard." "Your financial plan should reflect your priorities—not your emotions." "The only person you should compare yourself to is who you were yesterday." Your financial future isn't determined by having perfect timing. It's determined by building a system that supports your goals.

Being successful in your career does not automatically make financial decisions easier. Fear, compassion, overconfidence, and FOMO can influence even the smartest investors. Advice from friends, social media, or AI can also sound compelling without accounting for your full financial picture. In this episode, Jeremiah and Laura explore the behavioral patterns behind financial decisions, how personal experiences shape our relationship with money, and why a clear plan can help create a better filter for important choices. Understanding what may be driving your decisions is the first step toward making wiser financial choices instead of letting emotion take the lead. #behavioralfinance #financialplanning #investing #businessowner #entrepreneur #financialdecisions #wealthmanagement ---       Information and ideas discussed are general comments and cannot be relied upon as pertaining to your specific situation, do not constitute legal/financial advice, and do not create an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.

Change is inevitable, but navigating it well is a skill. In this episode of Pivot with Darryl Lyons, Darryl explores John Kotter's eight principles for leading change and explains how they apply far beyond the workplace. Whether you're changing careers, moving your family, building a business, improving your finances, or developing better habits, successful change requires more than motivation. It requires vision, accountability, communication, and resilience. Drawing from personal experiences, leadership lessons, and financial planning conversations, Darryl shares practical strategies for creating lasting change without creating unnecessary panic. He discusses the importance of building the right support system, communicating a compelling vision, overcoming obstacles, celebrating early wins, and developing the habits that make meaningful change stick. You'll learn: ●      Why every meaningful change begins with honest self-assessment ●      How to create urgency without creating fear ●      The importance of building a guiding coalition in business, marriage, and life ●      Why you don't need every answer before taking the first step ●      How to manage emotional responses during seasons of change ●      The power of celebrating early wins to build long-term momentum ●      Why accountability systems are essential for lasting personal growth ●      Practical ways to make positive habits stick over time Whether you're leading an organization, managing your finances, raising a family, or pursuing personal growth, this episode offers a practical framework for navigating change with confidence and purpose.

From panic-selling during market downturns to overspending, relationship dynamics, and retirement expectations, they explore why our financial decisions are often driven more by psychology than logic. The discussion also dives into the growing field of financial therapy, why knowledge alone doesn't create good financial outcomes, and how understanding your own money behaviors can lead to better long-term results. Josh also examines what celebrity relationships and high-profile prenups can teach everyday families about protecting wealth, planning ahead, and making financial decisions without letting emotions take over. Whether you're preparing for retirement, managing family finances, or simply trying to become a more disciplined investor, this episode offers practical insights that can help you build a stronger financial future. Topics Covered: Why financial success is often more about behavior than math How fear and pride can lead even experienced investors to make costly mistakes What financial therapy is—and how it helps people make better money decisions Why many retirees need to adjust expectations instead of taking excessive investment risk The psychology behind financial infidelity and hidden money behaviors Lessons from a high-profile celebrity marriage on prenups, trust, and protecting family wealth How emotions shape investing, spending, and long-term financial planning Practical ways to make smarter financial decisions regardless of market conditions Can't get enough of The Financial Quarterback?

Artificial intelligence is changing the way people manage their money—but should you trust it with your financial future? In this solo episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric break down a recent Financial Planning Association study that tested seven major AI tools on real-world financial planning scenarios. They discuss where AI shines, where it falls short, and why human judgment is still irreplaceable when making important financial decisions. From investment advice and fiduciary responsibility to gambling trends and prediction markets, this episode explores the intersection of technology, personal responsibility, and smart money management. On this episode we talk about: What a new Financial Planning Association study reveals about AI-generated financial advice Why AI tools often give dramatically different recommendations for the exact same financial situation The importance of working with fiduciary financial advisors instead of relying solely on AI or influencers The risks of AI hallucinations, bias, and the lack of legal accountability for financial advice How prediction markets, sports betting, and online gambling are creating new financial risks for younger investors Top 3 Takeaways AI is an excellent tool for running financial calculations, exploring scenarios, and learning basic concepts—but it shouldn't be trusted to make final financial decisions. Financial advice is highly personal. A fiduciary advisor who understands your goals and circumstances will almost always provide better guidance than generic AI recommendations. Whether you're investing, gambling, or following financial influencers, you're ultimately responsible for your financial decisions. Use every tool wisely and verify advice before acting on it. Notable Quotes "AI is a great thing to play with, ask questions, and do quick math—but you're still responsible for where you decide to put your finances." "It's a great starting point, but not a finishing point." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank."

Geopolitical tensions are rising as the Iran ceasefire unravels, how the "small financial decisions" you make can really add up, and restaurants are reinventing happy hour.

The biggest financial successes often begin with small daily decisions that quietly compound into greater wealth and long-term financial security. Sandi Bragar, Chief Client Officer at Aspiriant in San Francisco, joins Rob Hart on the WBBM Noon Business Hour with the details.

In this episode of UC Today, Kristian McCann sits down with Vishnu Shankar, Chief Data Officer at Draup, to explore why hiring, workforce planning, and skills strategy have moved beyond HR and into the CFO's office. As AI agents, automation, and evolving regulations transform the workplace, organizations can no longer think about recruitment as simply filling vacancies. Every hiring decision now carries implications for productivity, operational costs, compliance, and long-term business performance. Yet many businesses are still relying on outdated workforce planning models that fail to account for the growing role of AI alongside human talent. Vishnu explains why companies need to rethink how work itself is structured, moving away from traditional hiring frameworks towards AI-augmented operating models that combine people, software, automation, AI agents, and partners.  Key discussion points include: Why AI has transformed hiring decisions into strategic financial decisions for CFOs and boards.  How organizations should move beyond the traditional "build, buy, borrow" workforce model to embrace AI agents, automation, software, and human talent together.  Why measuring ROI from talent now means focusing on productivity, augmentation, and business outcomes—not simply headcount or cost reduction.  Practical steps organizations can take to build AI-ready workforce strategies while managing governance, compliance, and future skills.  Next Steps Subscribe to UC Today for more conversations on AI, HR, and enterprise technology.

“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you.” That promise from James 1:5 is a powerful reminder that wisdom is not something we have to manufacture on our own. It is a gift from God, and He invites us to ask for it. When we think about financial decisions, we often turn first to budgets, spreadsheets, calculators, or professional advice. Those tools can be helpful, and wise counsel has an important place in biblical stewardship. But for followers of Christ, wisdom begins with prayer. Sharon Epps, President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization, joined the show today to talk about inviting God into our financial lives and seeking His guidance with trust and humility. Prayer Reminds Us Whose Money It Is When people think about managing money, prayer may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But Sharon says it should be central to the way believers make financial decisions because we are not ultimately managing our own resources. We are managing God's. She offered a simple illustration: imagine being asked to care for someone else's home while they were away on an extended trip. Would you let them leave without asking for specific instructions about how they wanted things handled? Of course not. In the same way, because everything we have belongs to God, we should want His instruction for how to steward it. Prayer reminds us that we do not have to carry financial decisions alone or rely only on our own understanding. It helps us approach money with dependence, trust, and humility. Prayer also shifts our posture. Instead of trying to control every outcome, we begin to ask what faithfulness looks like with what God has entrusted to us. The Most Powerful Question We Can Ask So what does this look like in everyday life? Sharon says it starts by bringing financial decisions to the Lord before we act. Whether we are deciding how to spend, save, give, invest, or pursue work, prayer gives us the opportunity to seek God's wisdom first. Our friend and mentor Ron Blue has often said that one of the most powerful questions we can ask is: God, what would You have me do with Your money? That question changes everything. It reminds us that money is not merely a tool for personal comfort or security. It is a resource entrusted to us by God for His purposes. Sharon shared a personal example from when she and her husband were praying about their oldest daughter's college tuition. They had not saved enough to pay for her education in full, and they were committed to avoiding debt. As they prayed, God brought something to mind: He had already provided what they needed, but they had mentally set those funds aside for another purpose. Once Sharon and her husband sat down and talked it through, they realized God had shown them an option they had never considered. Prayer did not simply give them peace; it gave them perspective. That is one of the gifts of prayer. Over time, it shapes our desires, priorities, and motives. It trains us to seek God first rather than simply react in the moment. Learning What Is Enough One of the great financial questions every believer must wrestle with is, “How much is enough?” Our culture constantly pushes us to want more. More income. More comfort. More security. More possessions. But Scripture points us toward contentment. Paul writes in Philippians 4:11, “I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.” That word learned is important. Contentment does not come naturally. It is formed in us as we walk with Christ and learn to trust Him more deeply. Prayer helps us bring our desires honestly before the Lord. It gives us space to ask whether our financial choices are being driven by needs, wants, fear, comparison, or trust. Sharon pointed to David's prayer in Psalm 139:23-24: “Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!” That is a fitting prayer for our financial lives as well. We can ask the Lord to search our hearts, reveal our motives, and lead us toward a healthier understanding of what enough really is. And when we become more content with God's provision, we are often freed to become more generous. When the Next Step Is Unclear Many people face financial decisions that feel overwhelming. A career change. A major purchase. A giving decision. A medical bill. A retirement question. A move. A season of uncertainty. When the path is not clear, Sharon's counsel is simple: turn to prayer before you turn to spreadsheets. That does not mean spreadsheets are unimportant. It means they should not be our first refuge. Before we run the numbers, we should ask God for wisdom. We should also seek wise counsel from trusted believers who share our commitment to biblical stewardship. God often guides us through His Word, His Spirit, and His people. And even when the way forward is not perfectly clear, we can trust that God is faithful to guide His people as they seek Him. Financial Decisions as Acts of Trust Prayer turns financial decisions into opportunities to trust God more deeply. It reminds us that God owns it all. It invites Him into the details of our daily lives. It exposes our motives and reshapes our desires. It helps us move from fear to faithfulness, from control to stewardship, and from self-reliance to dependence on the Lord. The next time you face a financial decision, begin with this simple prayer: God, what would You have me do with Your money? And then listen with humility, seek wise counsel, and trust that your generous God delights to give wisdom to those who ask.

On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: We sold our old house after buying a new one, so we now have a lump sum in savings. We planned to use most of it to recast the new mortgage and lower our payment, but we're wondering whether we should keep some in savings or invest part of it. How can we steward this money wisely? My 23-year-old granddaughter struggles to manage money. Can you recommend a budgeting plan, tool, or app that could help her? I'm 70 and have heard you talk about Qualified Charitable Distributions. What exactly is a QCD, and can I use it for my tithes? My husband and I are nearing 65. In retirement, we expect $5,000–$6,000 a month in income, a paid-off home, about $80,000 in emergency cash, and another $100,000–$200,000 to invest, plus around $50,000 already in Nasdaq and S&P 500 stocks. What conservative investment options should we consider so we can draw from that money monthly if needed, especially from a Christian perspective?

He explores “the human side of want and need,” showing how emotional spending, financial stress, personal history, and instinct all influence the way we handle money. This conversation reframes bookkeeping as something deeply human, revealing why some of us naturally think like planners, budgeters, and business owners without even realizing it. Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Most people assume investment returns are the biggest factor in building wealth, but the reality is often much different. In this episode, we explore the financial decisions that can have an even greater impact on long-term success, including saving habits, spending choices, tax planning, risk management, and retirement income strategies. You'll learn why strong financial outcomes are usually driven by consistent, repeatable decisions rather than finding the perfect investment. We also discuss how emotions and behavior can quietly undermine even the best portfolios, and what you can do to stay focused on what you can control. If you've ever wondered whether financial planning is about more than just investment performance, this conversation will help put returns in their proper perspective.

In this episode of Real Money, Real Experts, hosts Rachael DeLeon and Brandy Baxter sit down with Jack Howard, Head of Money Wellness at Ally, to discuss the evolving landscape of financial wellness and the critical role that mindset, values, and personal experiences play in shaping financial behaviors.Drawing from both her personal and professional journey, Jack shares how her passion for financial education led her to develop innovative approaches that go beyond traditional financial literacy.

In the opening episode of The Psychology of Money series, Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ and Dr. Matt Morris, LMFT explore one of the most overlooked drivers of financial success: mindset. Long before people learn how to invest, budget, or build wealth, they develop internal “money scripts” — subconscious beliefs shaped by childhood experiences, family dynamics, culture, and personal history. Together, Erik and Matt unpack how these invisible beliefs influence everything from spending habits and lifestyle expectations to fear, scarcity, ambition, and financial anxiety. Through relatable stories, humor, and real-world examples, they explain why wealth-building is often less about intelligence and more about the mental filters through which we interpret money. The episode challenges listeners to begin identifying the stories they carry about money — and whether those stories are helping or hurting their future. Episode Highlights: Erik explains how mindset functions as a constant background filter for the way people think about and approach money. (03:00) Dr. Matt discusses how scarcity mindset surfaces in couples when partners feel they will never have enough or get ahead. (08:50) Building awareness and changing behavior are the keys to rewiring a money mindset. (14:40) Erik shares how the most valuable client conversations focus on mindset and behavior rather than technical financial advice. (16:50) Dr. Matt shares a starting point for exploring money scripts by reflecting on what a family communicated about money. (18:20) Key Quotes: "Building wealth, having financial success has as much to do with behavior, with managing emotions, all that psychology stuff than it does with the technical stuff about money" - Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ "There's a script running in the background. We don't just act rationally with money. We are acting out a story about our beliefs about money." - Dr. Matt Morris, LMFT "We're using mindset and script synonymously, so take time to understand your money scripts. They probably came from your family of origin, so take some time. If you have a spouse, take some time to understand theirs also." - Dr. Matt Morris, LMFT Resources Mentioned: Dr. Matt Morris, LMFT Matt Morris & Associates Erik Garcia, CFP®, ChFC®, BFA™ Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors
