Have you ever wondered what makes the wealthiest families, like the Rockefellers, so successful? They don't try to maximize the return on every dollar. Instead, they build diversified portfolios with different assets serving different purposes to provide liquidity, stability, and access to capital when opportunities arise.That's why I'm excited to welcome Brock Fortner back to the podcast. Brock is a wealth strategist at Stone Century Financial and a longtime member of the Lifestyle Investor Mastermind who has become one of my most trusted resources on dividend-paying whole life insurance. I've personally used whole life policies for nearly 25 years to store cash, fund investments, and create greater flexibility with my capital.In our conversation, Brock and I challenge some of the conventional thinking around asset allocation, the traditional 60/40 portfolio, and the idea that every dollar needs to earn the highest possible return. We also talked about teaching the next generation to think differently about money and some of the costly mistakes people make when choosing and structuring life insurance.In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ The incredible benefits and flexibility of using whole life insurance in your cash and fixed-income portion of your portfolio.✅ How borrowing against your policy creates liquidity to quickly capitalize on new investment opportunities.✅ How wealthy families use whole life insurance to build a family banking system and transfer wealth for multiple generations.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/306Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

The version of you who thinks debt is the enemy has never heard it explained this way. Sharran Srivatsaa went from dumpster-diving for food his first week of college to running Acquisition.com alongside Alex and Layla Hormozi, and the money rules he lives by now would sound insane to the kid who once got mugged for $100 within seven hours of landing in America. He talks about the ratchet clause that quietly shrank a $47 million payout down to under $5 million, and why that single contract mistake sent him to business school and Wall Street to learn the language money is actually written in. You will hear why he thinks money loves speed but wealth loves time, why every goal needs an actual plan instead of a wish, and why the four money monsters (inflation, taxes, interruption, fees) are quietly eating your future more than any bad investment ever could. He also gets honest about losing a million dollars to a con artist who vanished three days after cashing his check, and the four questions he now asks before trusting anyone with his money again. This one will change how you think about your 401k, your credit card, and the number you have been waiting to hit before you finally feel free. Press play and start rewriting your own rules about money today. Acquisition Sharran's Website Sharran's Youtube Instagram Facebook In this episode you will: Discover the “four goods” framework (good people, good intentions, good rationale, good contracts) for vetting any partner or deal before you sign Rewire the belief that debt is inherently bad and learn how to use it strategically to build financial freedom Climb Sharran's Wealth Ladder and Golden Stairways models to turn a first income stream into lasting, passive wealth Guard against the Four Money Monsters, inflation, taxes, interruption, and fees, that quietly erode your returns Apply the Past-Present-Future and Context-Issue-Risk-Steps frameworks to make sharper, faster money decisions For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1975 More SOG episodes we think you'll love!

On this solo episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene explores why wealth, financial freedom, and time freedom mean something different for every person. He explains why there is no universal number that defines financial freedom and how factors like where you live, how you were raised, your lifestyle, your family, and your personal goals all shape what enough looks like. Jonathan breaks down the difference between being rich, being wealthy, and being financially free, emphasizing that someone can achieve financial freedom without being wealthy and that accumulating income does not necessarily create lasting wealth. He also examines how family history and early experiences with money can influence the way people think about saving, spending, risk, and building wealth. The episode also looks at the true cost of financial independence. Jonathan discusses how housing costs, lifestyle choices, family responsibilities, taxes, healthcare, and spending habits can dramatically change the amount of money someone needs to feel financially secure. He explains why increasing your income and acquiring assets that generate income over time can be more powerful than simply cutting expenses. Jonathan also challenges the popular FIRE movement and the idea that everyone should aim to retire as early as possible. He argues that financial freedom and time freedom are not necessarily the same thing, especially because many people actually enjoy working, building businesses, having structure, and staying productive. Instead of copying someone else's definition of freedom, he encourages listeners to determine what enough means for them. Finally, Jonathan discusses comparison, FOMO, compound interest, and the importance of creating financial habits that work for your own life. He explains why comparing your financial journey to someone else's can lead you away from your own goals and why building wealth requires saving, putting money to work, and thinking long-term. In this episode, you will hear: Why wealth, financial freedom, and time freedom are different concepts How your location, lifestyle, family, and upbringing shape your financial goals Why Jonathan challenges the FIRE movement and the idea of retiring extremely early How defining what "enough" means can change the way you approach wealth building Why saving, compound interest, reducing comparison, and creating financial mindfulness are essential to building lasting wealth Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

What can cold-case investigations teach us about human nature, identity, purpose, and truth? Michael Easley sits down with J. Warner Wallace, former cold-case homicide detective and Christian apologist, to discuss what years of investigating murder have taught him about humanity—and how those observations point back to Scripture. Wallace explains why people are fascinated by true crime, the three root motivations behind crime, and why proximity matters when investigating a murder. The conversation then moves into a much deeper question: Who are we when our careers, accomplishments, relationships, or abilities change? Wallace argues that identity is one of humanity's greatest struggles and that Christians need an identity that does not shift. Rather than making Christ one label among many, he describes Christ as the foundation supporting every other role in our lives. They also discuss aging, retirement, marriage, financial freedom, mistakes, objective moral truth, the nature of humanity, apologetics, and how to faithfully share the gospel while trusting God's power to change hearts. Key topics covered: -Why we're fascinated by true crime -The root motivations behind crime -What cold cases reveal about human nature -Identity, purpose, and meaning -Finding our identity in Christ -Retirement and identity shifts -Learning wisdom through mistakes -Aging and changing seasons -Financial freedom and simplicity -Objective truth and moral truth -Human depravity and the biblical view of humanity -Apologetics and gospel conversations -God's sovereignty and our responsibility Chapters: 00:00 — What True Crime Reveals About Us 01:45 — Why Are We Fascinated by Crime? 03:15 — The Three Root Causes of Crime 05:38 — What Crime Reveals About Human Nature 08:49 — Identity, Purpose, and Meaning 12:13 — When Your Career Becomes Your Identity 14:00 — Finding an Identity That Doesn't Change 15:54 — Retirement, Trauma, and Identity Shifts 19:10 — How to Identify Your Idols 21:33 — Is Christ the Foundation of Your Identity? 22:29 — A Life Well Experienced vs. Well Lived 24:00 — Aging, Wisdom, and Letting Go 25:54 — Learning Through Mistakes and Pain 28:53 — Financial Freedom and Simplicity 33:06 — Why We Root for the Bad Guys 36:09 — The Enigma of Human Nature 40:27 — What Is Truth? 43:47 — Objective Moral Truth 45:29 — Apologetics, God's Power, and Our Responsibility 48:33 — Sharing the Gospel One “Single” at a Time 52:03 — Final Thoughts Links Mentioned: Cold Case Christianity Website The Truth in True Crime by J Warner Wallace Other Books by J.

Financial Wellness for Women: Money, Marriage & Building Wealth with Hayley Dickson, CFP®What if financial freedom has less to do with hitting a magic number—and more about finally feeling clear and confident about your money?This week on The Running Wine Mom, Samantha Cieslinski sits down with Hayley Dickson, CFP, CEO and Founder of RIPPL Wealth Management, for a refreshingly honest conversation about money, financial wellness, marriage, motherhood, and building a life you actually want to live.Hayley shares how she walked away from a successful six-figure career in entertainment, trusted her intuition, and ultimately became the fastest-growing advisor in Northwestern Mutual's history before launching RIPPL Wealth Management.But this isn't your typical conversation about cutting lattes and sticking to a monthly budget. In fact, Hayley hates monthly budgets.Instead, she introduces her concept of a “planning budget”—deciding how much of your annual income will go toward growing your net worth and achieving your goals first, then giving yourself permission to enjoy what's left.Samantha and Hayley also get into the emotional side of money: why successful women can still feel embarrassed about what they don't know, why financial wellness belongs in the same conversation as physical and mental health, and why women—especially stay-at-home moms—need to understand their household finances even when their partner traditionally handles the money.In this episode, we talk about:Why Hayley left a successful entertainment career to completely reinvent herself in financeWhy money remains one of our biggest cultural taboosThe shame and comparison that keep women from asking financial questionsWhat being a “financial life designer” actually meansWhy financial wellness can affect our mental health, relationships, and overall well-beingFinancial independence for women and stay-at-home parentsWhy Hayley prefers the idea of becoming “work optional” instead of simply retiringEstate planning, life insurance, 529 plans, and preparing financially for your familyTax diversification and the difference between pre-tax and Roth retirement savingsHow sophisticated investment strategies are becoming more accessible to everyday wealth buildersPrenups, postnups, marriage, and protecting yourself financiallyWhether couples should combine finances or use a “yours, mine, and ours” systemWhy having a shared financial vision matters more than exactly how your bank accounts are structuredThe “middle bucket” Hayley often sees missing from people's financial livesWhy Hayley hates traditional monthly budgetsHer planning budget approach to saving, investing, and spending without guiltWhy travel is the money splurge Hayley will never regretHayley defines financial freedom as having clarity, confidence, and peace in your money choices. And perhaps the biggest takeaway from this conversation is that you don't need to wait until you're wealthy to start feeling financially empowered.You just have to start.Hayley is offering listeners a complimentary 30-minute one-on-one Life Design & Wealth Strategy Session (a $500 value).

In this episode, Michael Blank sits down with podcasting and marketing expert Trevor Oldham to reveal how real estate operators and syndicators can use podcasts to build credibility, generate leads, and ultimately raise more capital. Trevor, who has helped book more than 10,000 podcast appearances for over 500 clients, explains why getting on the biggest shows isn't necessarily the goal—the right audience is. They break down how to identify podcasts that reach your ideal investors, build a simple funnel to capture leads, use automation to follow up, and turn one podcast appearance into multiple marketing touchpoints. Michael and Trevor also discuss why podcasting is a long-term strategy, how the capital-raising environment has changed, and why operators should build their marketing platform before trying to scale their lead generation.Key TakeawaysThe Right Podcast Matters More Than the Biggest PodcastA smaller show with a highly targeted audience can generate far more valuable investor relationships than a massive show with the wrong listeners.Build the Funnel Before You Generate LeadsBefore appearing on podcasts, have a professional website, a clear call to action, a lead magnet, and a way to capture and nurture prospects.

One decision in your first year of service can make you a military millionaire and most people never make it. In this long-awaited 2026 refresh of their most popular episode ever, Spencer and co-host Jamie break down the Thrift Savings Plan from the ground up: what it is, how the 5% match really works, Roth vs. traditional, the combat zone triple tax benefit, and exactly how much to contribute to retire with seven figures. Whether you just left boot camp or you're 15 years in and think you're too late, this is the no-nonsense TSP playbook for the modern service member. Questions Asked: What is the TSP, and how is it different from a savings account or a civilian 401(k)? How do the TSP and a Roth IRA work together — and why aren't they the same thing? How much can you contribute in 2026, and how much do you actually recommend? When does the government's 5% match kick in, and how do you avoid missing it? Can you contribute to a non-working spouse's IRA? Roth or traditional — which should most military members choose? What are catch-up contributions, and who are they actually for? How does the combat zone tax exclusion (CZTE) supercharge Roth contributions? I'm 10–15 years in under Legacy High-3 — is the TSP still worth it? What happens to my TSP when I separate or retire? How do the G, F, C, S, and I funds work, and what should I pick? What are Lifecycle (L) funds, and are they good enough? Is the TSP still a good deal on cost compared to Fidelity's zero-fee funds? What are your personal allocations? If I'm feeling overwhelmed, what's the one thing I should do? Main Topics Covered: TSP basics: employer-sponsored plan, Blended Retirement System (BRS) vs. Legacy High-3, and the 2018 transition The 5% match explained — 1% automatic + 4% after your 2-year mark — and why it doesn't count against your $24,500 elective deferral limit 2026 contribution limits: $24,500 TSP, $7,500 per person IRA, and the $72,000 combined limit The millionaire math: 20% (officer) or 25% (enlisted) to Roth TSP = a seven-figure account in 20 years Setting it up in myPay and tsp.gov, and why you should spread contributions across all 12 months Roth vs. traditional for military pay, and why Roth wins for ~90%+ of service members The combat zone triple tax benefit and tax-free re-enlistment bonuses New for 2026: Roth in-plan conversions and the military mega backdoor Roth Late to the game? Why it's never too late to start Keeping, rolling over, or consolidating your TSP after separation — and Guard/Reserve combined limits Breaking down all five funds (G, F, C, S, I) — including the I Fund's ex-China index change Lifecycle/target-date funds as the ultimate hands-off solution, and why chasing Facebook-group "gurus" backfires Costs, expense ratios, front-end load fees (looking at you, First Command), and the mutual fund window Rebalancing, interfund transfers, and tax-efficient asset placement Spencer's and Jamie's personal allocations, and why there's no perfect portfolio Resources Mentioned: The Military Money Manual: A Practical Guide to Financial Freedom (Amazon / militarymoneymanual.com) Tools at militarymoneymanual.com: MilTaxCaster: https://militarymoneymanual.com/military-tax-estimator/MilTaxCaster Cost/expense ratio calculator: https://militarymoneymanual.com/costs/ Roth TSP conversion calculator: https://militarymoneymanual.com/roth-tsp-conversion-calculator/ Contribution percentage chart: https://militarymoneymanual.com/military-tsp-match-max/ tsp.gov and FINRA.org (unbiased resources) Related episodes: #2 (original TSP) https://podcast.militarymoneymanual.com/ , #39 (mutual fund window) https://podcast.militarymoneymanual.com/39-2022-changes-to-the-tsp-mutual-fund-window-tsp-app-more/, #211 (Roth in-plan conversions with Brian "Alf" O'Neill) https://podcast.militarymoneymanual.com/roth-in-plan-conversions-tsp-with-brain-alf-oneill-211/ Tax Planning To and Through Early Retirement by Sean Mullaney and Cody Garrett Spencer and Jamie offer one-on-one Military Money Mentor sessions.

What if your clinic is profitable, your schedule is full—and you're still financially handcuffed to patient care? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with Dr. Daniel Herzberg to unpack why high income alone doesn't create freedom, and why doctors need a strategy that extends beyond simply earning more, saving more, or waiting until the practice hits the next revenue milestone.Together, they explore the shift from active income to capital that works for you, why doctors often delay investing, how lifestyle creep and risk aversion can stall wealth building, and the importance of coordinating taxes, cash flow, investing, risk management, and business operations. Daniel also breaks down hard money lending, private investments, and the family office approach—giving practice owners a framework for building wealth, optionality, and a future where working is a choice rather than an obligation.Key TakeawaysHigh income does not automatically create financial freedom. If your income still depends on how many patients you personally see, you're continuing to trade time for money regardless of how successful your practice becomes.Doing nothing with your money is still an investment decision. Risk aversion can protect doctors from bad opportunities, but years of financial inaction can also mean losing valuable time, compound growth, and opportunities to build income outside the clinic.Stop treating wealth building like a collection of disconnected financial products. Taxes, cash flow, investments, business operations, risk management, and long-term goals should work together as one coordinated wealth strategy.Your capital can become your best employee. Building assets and passive income allows your money to work independently of your clinical hours, ultimately giving you the freedom to practice because you want to—not because you financially have to.About the GuestDr. Daniel Herzberg is a physician freedom coach, founder of the Intelligent Investor Forum, and creator of the Physician Freedom Plan, a strategic framework designed to help physicians and high-income professionals reduce financial stress, build income beyond their careers, and create greater freedom over their time and future. With more than 33 years of experience and over 9,000 clients served, Daniel helps clients identify the gap between where they are financially and where they want to be, then coordinate strategies around investing, taxes, cash flow, risk management, business operations, and wealth building to help close that gap.Find all the resources the Intelligent Investor Forum has to offer!Follow Dr. Daniel: LinkedInResources:Find all things Dr. Lauryn B including ways to work with herFollow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInFollow She Slays on YouTubeMentioned in this episode:INSiGHT CLAThis episode is brought to you by the INSiGHT scanning system from CLA, the tool that helps chiropractors show patients objective neurological data so the value of care becomes clear, fueling conversion, retention, and growth.

Send us Fan MailOn Multifamily AP360, Neal Bawa says his view has shifted: supply and interest rates now drive multifamily profits more than demographics, and inaccurate third‑party permit tracking in 2022–2023 missed about 30% extra supply that contributed to widespread negative rent growth across major growth markets. He describes using AI to scrape county permit data and to improve operations, arguing the industry underuses AI beyond underwriting. Examples include an AI “Secret Shop” system that tests lead follow-up speed and quality across owned properties and 86 competitors, and an AI-assisted camera workflow that creates timesheets and uncovered employee time theft. Bawa says the broader multifamily market isn't distressed, but syndication is shrinking sharply; pricing is fair given higher rates and weaker rents. He would buy in low-tax/low-insurance, supply-absorbed markets like Boise, avoid markets with significant incoming supply, and warns underwriting assumptions for rent growth and cap compression are often unrealistic.

Send us Fan MailRama interviews Jens Nielsen, a former IT/telecom professional turned full-time commercial real estate investor and certified high performance coach who has partnered in 2,700+ apartment units and industrial assets, helped raise $10M+ in private equity, and participated in $250M+ of projects. Nielsen explains how rising interest rates, higher taxes, and surging insurance costs widened the buyer-seller pricing gap, prompting him to pause multifamily acquisitions and shift to value-add industrial/flex deals with higher cap rates (often 8–10%) in markets like Albuquerque, focusing on smaller in-city warehouses around 30–35K square feet with low vacancy. He highlights asset management as a key weakness hurting returns, stresses transparent, regular investor updates when performance falters, urges unlearning 3–4% rate assumptions and avoiding short-term bridge debt, and emphasizes conservative underwriting, long-term holds, patience, technology/AI adoption, and consistent capital raising. He also shares coaching principles, daily habits, a book on spending aligned with happiness, and directs listeners to jensnielsen.us.

Financial freedom is not just a number. It is the ability to feel safe, clear, and alive with the money you already have. In this solo episode of The Fulfillionaire, JP Newman explores the money beliefs that can keep high achievers from feeling financially free even when the numbers look strong. He explains why people chase the feelings behind money, why arbitrary net worth goals lose meaning without a clear reason, and how a one- to three-year financial goal becomes more useful when it is built around the life someone actually wants to create. You'll also learn why selling a business does not automatically create emotional financial freedom, how safety stops can help someone recognize the win, and why the belief that giving means having less can keep generosity trapped in scarcity. The goal is to connect money mindset, financial goals, and generosity to a definition of wealth that actually feels meaningful. Stop chasing a number that was never connected to your life. Listen to this episode of The Fulfillionaire: The Money Beliefs Keeping You From Financial Freedom and visit fulfillionaire.com. JP Newman is the founder of Fulfillionaire and CEO of Thrive FP, known for helping high-achievers align financial success with deeper human connection and purpose. With over $2 billion in real estate transactions and hundreds of investors coached, he brings a powerful blend of strategy, psychology, and emotional intelligence to the world of investing and negotiation. JP teaches that the best deals are built by understanding people, energy, and intention. Through his Fulfillionaire™ movement, he helps leaders stop operating from fear and start making decisions rooted in clarity and alignment. His approach redefines negotiation as a human-centered skill that turns insight into influence and lasting success.

Send us Fan MailHey guys! How's your summer going? Mine is winding down—today's the last week before the kids head back to school, and honestly, I need a break. I scheduled a full “mama camp” staycation with all the boys, my nephew, and my parents in town. Right now, I'm sitting in the car while they're at the trampoline park, and it already feels like Thursday even though it's only Tuesday!The big takeaway I want to share with you today is this: read Die with Zero. I listened to the audiobook on YouTube, and it completely shifted how I think about money. Instead of feeling guilty every time I spend, it helped me see that money is meant to be used for experiences—especially when your family can enjoy them the most.With five boys (ages 10 to 15), my nephew, and my parents visiting, our family spending is at its peak right now. Sports, clothes, shoes, travel, education—it all adds up. But instead of feeling bad about it, I'm reminding myself that this is the season to invest in memories. Later, when the kids are grown and independent, we won't need to spend the same way. So why hold back now?This book also challenged the idea of saving everything “for the kids.” If you're planning to leave them money, why not give it when they actually need it—like for university or a mortgage—instead of waiting until they're in their 60s and don't need it as much?This week, I'm splurging a little more than usual: trampoline park, downhill karting, karaoke with sushi (first time ever!), escape rooms, Activate, and even a family rafting trip this summer. Yes, it's a lot of money for six people, but I'm practicing gratitude instead of guilt. I'm blessed to be able to do these things, and I don't want to be the person who saves everything and misses out on the memories.So here's my challenge to you: if you can afford it, spend the money—but feel good about it. And if you can't, then don't. Either way, make the choice consciously. And if you're struggling with the guilt of spending, check out Die with Zero. It's been a game-changer for me.Alright, I'm off to see how the kids are doing at the trampoline park. Love you all—chat next week! Support the show
#744: With about $200 and a crypto exchange, historian Joseph Moore turned himself into a legitimate billionaire — a stunt that says more about how money actually works than most financial advice does. It's also a preview of the 300-year argument he makes in this episode: that almost everything we're told about money is newer, and far less permanent, than we think. Joseph Moore, PhD, is a historian and the national bestselling author of How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't). His own self-experiments with historical money strategies helped him become financially independent in his mid-40s. In this episode, we discuss: How "never save your money" used to be completely reasonable financial advice Why bonds quietly beat stocks for nearly all of the 1800s How to spot when today's "obvious" financial rules are about to expire Why real estate booms always show up right alongside inflation spikes Why young people's unemployment is outpacing everyone else's — and what history says to do about it Why economic optimism and economic data have stopped matching up Why building more housing is the only housing-crisis fix that's ever actually worked This one's for anyone who feels like the rules of money keep changing under them — because they do, and always have. Understanding that pattern is the first step to building wealth in whatever era you happen to be living in. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS Note: Timestamps may vary slightly depending on dynamic ad placements.

In this episode, Michael Blank welcomes back Will Harvey, founder and managing partner of Harvey Capital, to explore his evolution from multifamily investor and mortgage professional into the private lending business. After leaving his W-2 job to pursue real estate full time, Will discovered that he enjoyed the finance side of investing far more than the operational side—and eventually built a private lending business focused on asset-backed loans. Will explains how the private lending model works, why he prefers lending against real estate rather than owning it, how he raises capital through a fund structure, and how he protects investor capital through conservative underwriting. The conversation also dives deep into how Will is using AI to transform everything from underwriting and Google Ads to lead generation and investor outreach, offering a fascinating look at how technology can dramatically increase the scale and efficiency of a real estate business.Key TakeawaysPrivate Lending Can Provide Real Estate Exposure Without Owning the PropertyWill explains why he prefers lending against real estate rather than dealing with tenants, contractors, renovations, and property operations—and how lenders can earn attractive interest while maintaining a secured position.Protecting Capital Starts With Conservative UnderwritingThe goal isn't to take back properties when borrowers default. It's to structure loans with enough margin of safety that the investment remains protected even when something goes wrong.Fund Structures Can Reduce Concentration RiskRather than putting all of an investor's money into a single loan, Will prefers a fund model that spreads capital across multiple loans and borrowers.AI Is Transforming Real Estate UnderwritingWill uses Claude Code to analyze borrowers, verify their track records, review financial statements, research potential red flags, and produce detailed underwriting briefs—allowing his team to process significantly more volume.AI Can Turn Marketing Data Into Actionable InsightsBy feeding Google Ads reports into Claude, Will can quickly identify which campaigns, keywords, locations, and time periods are performing best, dramatically accelerating a process that previously took weeks of manual analysis.AI Is Opening New Doors for Capital RaisingWill is using AI to identify potential investors through public property records, including people who own real estate through self-directed retirement accounts, creating targeted lists that would have previously required significant manConnect with Will HarveyWebsite: Harvey CapitalEmail: will@harvey-capital.comConnect with our Deal Maker PartnersCheck out all Partners hereAttorney - Swafford Law LLC Asset Manager - Cyndee Harding, High Caliber MultifamilyCPA - James Bohan, Stonehan AccountancyMentor - Deal Maker MentoringResourcesConnect with Michael BlankTheFreedomPodcast.com Join the Deal Maker MastermindExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsGet the Syndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael Blank For full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session538/
Most people dread PCS season for how much it drains the bank account — Jared flips it into a $7,500 payday. Back on the show, the host of the Military Miler podcast breaks down the exact moves he used moving his family from Italy to Japan: circuitous travel memos, leave in conjunction with official travel, stacking credit card credits, and pocketing thousands in COLA and utilities along the way. But this one goes deeper than travel hacking — it's a candid conversation about budgeting overseas, why your savings rate should bend to your values, and the trap of chasing financial independence so hard you forget to live. Practical tactics up front, real talk about "enjoying the ride" on the back half. Questions Asked: What's the strategy you're using to plus up your bank account before your next OCONUS assignment? Why did your chief recommend NOT going TDY en route, and how does transient BAH factor in? How does circuitous travel work, and how much does the Air Force reimburse per person? How do programs like LICWO (Leave in Conjunction with Official Travel) and circuitous travel actually save families money? What credit card moves are you stacking to get reimbursed for flights, fees, and pet travel? Living OCONUS, have you found any apps, tips, or systems that help track expenses and stick to a budget? Why did you switch from YNAB to Monarch Money, and what won you over? How do you handle irregular overseas bills, currency exchange, and fuel cards when budgeting? Which credit cards make sense overseas (foreign transaction fees, Visa/Mastercard acceptance)? How do you decide between living on base vs. off base — and paying above your BAH? What do you give up by chasing an extremely high savings rate, and is there a better balance? Where can people find you and what are you working on? Main Topics Covered: Turning a PCS into a profit: banking ~$2,500/month in saved COLA and utilities for a ~$7,500 net gain Circuitous travel and LICWO explained — and getting a $4,500-per-person reimbursement memo "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" — advocating for better travel options instead of accepting the worst flights Keeping family in a higher-BAH location, SCRA lease breaks, and shipping goods early to save Reducing the PCS burden on your spouse as part of the service member's job Credit card strategy: airline fee credits (Amex Platinum, Ritz-Carlton), Sapphire Reserve travel credits, and getting cat/pet fees reimbursed Budgeting overseas: YNAB vs. Monarch Money, auto-categorization, and creating spending rules Handling irregular utility bills, delayed charges, currency swings, and fuel cards abroad Building a bigger emergency fund and "don't spend your utility money" advice for new OCONUS airmen Foreign transaction fees — why annual-fee cards (waived for active duty) and Visa/Mastercard win overseas Weekly money meetings and aligning spending with your values (h/t Rebel Finance School, Ramit Sethi) Using points and miles to fly family in, book cheap intra-Asia trips, and buy "free" wants (Sonos speakers) A real-world redemption: 27,000 Alaska points + $150 vs. $1,600 cash for family flights Seasons of military life — the adventure vs. community continuum, and choosing per assignment The FIRE trap: why "sacrifice everything now" is shortsighted, and enjoying the ride to financial independence Bonus: Japanese microvans and minivans (Honda N-Box, Toyota Alphard, Delica) and the weak yen Links & Resources Mentioned: Military Miler podcast (YouTube and all podcast platforms) militarytravelrewards.com Monarch Money https://www.monarch.com/ (referral link for ~50% off first year) https://www.monarch.com/referral?code=iqj4r4ixad Military Money Manual mentorship — militarymoneymanual.com/mentor Referenced first appearance: Military Money Manual episode 217 Spencer and Jamie offer one-on-one Military Money Mentor sessions.

Connect With ChazMark Podolsky spent years in investment banking with a 45-minute commute each way, buying things he did not care about to impress people who were not thinking about him. Then he started going to tax deed auctions on the side and buying raw undeveloped land for pennies on the dollar. He never looked back.Today Mark has done over 6,000 land deals, takes the entire month of July off every year to stress-test his team, travels globally at will, and runs what he calls a passive income machine built on three things: other people's time, software and automation, and other people's money. In this conversation with Chaz Wolfe, Mark walks through his entire land investing model step by step, explains why defaults are not actually a problem, why raw land is the most boring and least competitive niche in real estate, and why the only real mistake is stopping deal flow when you get scared.Key Takeaways:Raw land is an inefficient market. There is no MLS for dirt. Value is what a buyer and seller agree to. That inefficiency is the opportunity.Nobody wakes up thinking this is glamorous. That is the point. No HGTV show. No big money competition. No hedge funds. You and a million other investors could all be in this niche and run out of money before running out of deal flow.The model in one sequence: find a motivated seller with back taxes, offer 25 cents on the dollar of the lowest comparable sale, do due diligence for $11, buy it free and clear, sell it on terms to the neighbor or a buyer pool, collect a down payment and $297 a month for 72 months at 9 percent interest. No tenants. No rehabs. No renovations. No rodents.Defaults are not a disaster. They are a reset. The asset stays in your name under a land contract. You keep the down payment and all prior payments, lower your cost basis, and resell it. Sometimes defaults improve your ROI.The biggest mistake: fear-based decision making that stops deal flow. There is a 6-week lag between sending offers and getting responses. Stopping offers while you wait to sell inventory is how people stall the machine. In 20-plus years, Mark has never been stuck with a piece of land that would not sell at the right price.Entrepreneurs get bored with what works and go looking for the next county, the next niche, the next idea. The county that is making you money does not need to be replaced. It needs to be worked.Solo economic dependency is the trap. If you stop working, you stop making money. The land model solves that. $297 a month does not care whether you are at the office or in Bali.Freedom is not a number. It is a ratio. Mark's definition of enough: passive income at 200 percent of fixed expenses. Once you know your number, everything is just a game you choose to play.The happiest people have the best relationships. Money removes the biggest source of stress in a marriage and a family. It does not buy happiness. It buys the conditions for it.90 percent of the land business can be automated with inexpensive virtual assistants and software. The more automated the machine, the less valuable the owner needs to be to keep it running.If you are a contractor business owner doing $1M+ and you feel stuck in the day-to-day, we built GTK for you.Through peer mastermind and 1:1 coaching, we help you:increase profitinstall real systemsbuild a team that runs the businessget your time backVisit www.gatheringthekings.com for information on how to apply.Connect with Chaz Wolfe (Host):WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInYouTubeProfit Starts with Better Books!Clean books.

Discover how pets are budgeted as family members. A new survey reveals just how far owners are willing to go to protect their pets, including making sacrifices in their own spending and making long-term plans for their animals. But beneath the heartwarming statistics is a surprising gap between how much people care about their pets and how well they've actually planned for their future.

You could hand two people a million dollars and one of them would be broke again within a year. The other builds a legacy. The difference has nothing to do with luck. Anthony O'Neal, author of Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck, walks through the five phases that took him from borrowing money for car speakers to building a real estate portfolio he pays for in cash. He breaks down why 48% of people earning over $250,000 are still living check to check, and why your credit score might be lying to you about your actual wealth. This conversation gets honest fast. You'll hear what it actually felt like to write a will in your 30s, why his family assumed something was wrong the moment he brought it up, and the real reason his bank account resets to zero every few months even now. There's a moment near the end where Anthony explains the difference between being rich and being free, and it will change how you think about your next raise. You'll walk away with a completely different definition of what winning with money actually looks like.
