BIO: Edwin Endlich is the Chief Marketing Officer of Wysh and President of the National Alliance for Financial Literacy and Inclusion.STORY: Edwin's worst investment was buying Tilray stock at $143 during the early hype of legal cannabis investing. Swept up in the excitement of a “new frontier,” he held on as the price crashed—eventually selling at around 30 cents and losing over 99% of his investment.LEARNING: The fundamentals always apply, even in new or exciting industries. Don't let hype replace due diligence. “We're in this AI conversation, let's not forget the fundamentals of the market. Learn from what has happened in this space before. And don't get too cocky.”Edwin Endlich Guest profileEdwin Endlich is the Chief Marketing Officer of Wysh and President of the National Alliance for Financial Literacy and Inclusion. Edwin has spent his career at the intersection of marketing, fintech, and AI, helping financial institutions tell more human stories in an increasingly digital world. He's passionate about making financial protection simple, accessible, and even a little more fun — proving you don't need buzzwords or hype to make banking and technology relevant.Worst investment everThere's nothing quite like the rush of feeling early—early to a trend, early to a movement, early to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. That's precisely what Edwin felt in 2015–2016, when investing in legal cannabis became possible in parts of the United States.For the first time, regular people could invest in a newly legalized industry. It felt like history happening in real time, a frontier market ready to explode. Edwin and his friends didn't want to miss out, especially when companies were going public, and their share prices seemed destined to skyrocket.One of those stocks was Tilray. At $143 a share, Edwin was convinced he was buying the future. He imagined stock splits, booming demand, and a cannabis empire rising from the ground floor. Instead, he watched that $143 tumble month after month, until he finally sold it for around 30 cents. The emotional rollercoaster of hope, disappointment, and finally acceptance was a journey Edwin will never forget.A 99.3% loss.He now calls it his worst investment—not just because of the financial hit, but because of how powerfully excitement and hype clouded his judgment.Lessons learnedEvery investor thinks their situation is unique. But in reality, the same patterns repeat again and again.Markets take time to mature.Regulation can shift overnight.Early doesn't always mean right.Excitement is not a strategy.Andrew's takeawaysA portfolio isn't just about diversification by industry or geography; it's also about diversifying across stages of maturity.Stable, well-regulated companies like Coca-Cola or Pepsi behave very differently from early-stage, hype-driven industries, such as the cannabis sector.Even large companies, with teams of top analysts, often get it wrong.Actionable adviceIf Edwin could offer one piece of advice to anyone starry-eyed over the next big thing, it would be this:Do your due diligence. Seriously.Before you invest in anything—especially something exciting, futuristic, or rapidly trending—slow down and ask:Has this been done before?What can I learn from past bubbles?What does...

"Creating safe spaces for people to talk about money is one of the most powerful things we can do right now to make the world better for change." -Meg Wheeler Our hosts Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines sit down with Meg Wheeler, CPA and founder of the Equitable Money Project, who's on a mission to demolish the shame surrounding money conversations through accessible financial education. Her approach shows us that the path to financial confidence isn't about becoming an expert. It's about learning to simply talk about money without judgment. "Why should we know this when we've never been taught it in school?" Meg challenges the pervasive shame many people feel about their financial knowledge gaps. After all, we don't feel ashamed about not knowing brain surgery or environmental science because we were never taught those subjects either! The real problem isn't lack of knowledge, but the absence of safe spaces to discuss money openly. Meg's work centers on creating a community where people can share their financial stories without fear. She emphasizes that most people's situations aren't unique. Whether it's medical debt from our broken healthcare system or struggling with inconsistent business income, the factors contributing to financial challenges are systemic rather than personal failures. She suggests going for incremental progress rather than perfection. "Every quarter we want you to pick just one thing within one of those buckets to focus on," she explains, referring to her three-pillar framework: set up foundations, stabilize, and grow. This approach makes wealth-building feel achievable rather than overwhelming. Perhaps most powerfully, Meg advocates for teaching children about money early. Her eight-year-old has a debit card and checks his bank balance before purchases. Not because he's learning to become a financial professional, but because money should not be feared but normalized. Financial empowerment begins not with expertise, but with conversation, community, and compassion toward ourselves and others navigating the same challenges.   Key Topics ●      Meg's Path to Financial Education (02:26) ●      The Problem with "Financial Literacy" (04:28) ●      Why We Feel Shame About Money (05:21) ●      Information vs. Quality Education (05:56) ●      Creating Safe Spaces for Money Talk (14:07) ●      Teaching Kids About Money (16:13) ●      Learning the Language of Money (17:43) ●      The Three Pillars of Wealth Building (25:51) ●      Overcoming Emergency Fund Shame (26:54) ●      Business Owner Tips and Avoidance (33:00)   Resources: Equitable Money Project website   If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

So grab a comfy seat, and get ready for some enlightening discussions on how we can empower the next generation to be financially confident and math-savvy!Takeaways: Understanding mathematical literacy is crucial for achieving financial literacy, so let's bridge that gap!

In this Episode: In this fourth installment of the "Refocus to Rise" series, Mark and Theron discuss the concept of Wealth—not strictly in financial terms, but through the lens of investing in yourself. They argue that self-improvement operates like compound interest: small, consistent investments in your skills and knowledge early on yield massive results over a 10-year period. Key Takeaways Compound Interest of the Self: Just like financial investing, you may not see immediate results from reading one book or taking one course. The magic happens through consistency over time. It's Never Too Late: While starting young is ideal, the hosts share the example of a student in his 60s who reinvented his career as a consultant, proving that reinvesting in your skills keeps you mentally fresh and purposeful at any age. Free vs. Paid: You don't need money to start. You can invest time (YouTube, podcasts, libraries) just as effectively as money (coaches, courses). The 3-Step Action Plan Step 1: Identify Your Current Capital (The Audit) Before you can invest, you need a balance sheet of what you already have. Audit Hard & Soft Skills: Write down your abilities. Identify High-Yield Assets: What are the 2-3 things you are naturally best at? These are your superpowers. Identify Liabilities: Be honest about your weaknesses. Knowing where you lack organization or skill allows you to either work on it or hire someone else to handle it. Step 2: Choose Your Next "High-Growth" Investment Decide where to allocate your time and resources based on your audit. Align with a 5-Year Goal: Ensure the skill you are learning bridges the gap to where you want to be. Be Specific: Avoid vague goals like "get smarter" or "make more money." Use concrete targets (e.g., "I will learn to read a balance sheet"). Prioritize "Compounding Skills": Invest in skills that make everything else easier. The hosts specifically recommend Communication, Financial Literacy, and Discipline. Mark's Example: He realized early on that to succeed in martial arts (teaching/sales), he had to invest heavily in overcoming his shyness to become a master communicator. Step 3: Make Your First "Micro-Deposit" Move from "I should" to "I am" by getting skin in the game immediately. Commit Time or Money Now: Don't just list it; schedule a study block on your calendar or buy the book/course immediately. Create an Investment Environment: Set yourself up for success (e.g., have the next book ready to read before you finish the current one). Social Accountability: Tell a friend your "investment thesis." Engaging in healthy competition (like sparring in martial arts) pushes both people to grow faster than they would alone. Conclusion The hosts encourage listeners to treat their personal growth with the same rigor as a financial portfolio. By auditing your skills, choosing high-value targets, and making immediate deposits of time and effort, you build a life of high value.

Yesterday I had the privilege of attending the Assistive Technology Conference of New England, put on by TechACCESS of Rhode Island. It was a great event that brought together professionals and companies that are trying to improve accessibility through technology for those with ranges of physical and intellectual challenges. Walking around, looking at the exhibits, and talking with people, I was continuously impressed by the innovation and dedication around me. I would say it was “inspiring” but not in the way that one might usually think. The word “inspiring” can have a negative connotation in this world because it puts people with such challenges on a pedestal, as if their job is to be inspiring, or all they are is their disability, or makes people with these challenges a spectacle. Having a child who is intellectually and developmentally disabled, I totally get that argument.When I say “inspiring”, I am referring to the people who are working and creating products in this space. It is inspiring for me to see professionals dedicate their work to improve and enhance the lives of others, no matter who that population is. That is very cool, and inspirational. No matter what job we are doing, we should be thinking of ways that we can improve the lives and experiences of others. That is what experience design and this podcast is all about: showcasing the work of those who are trying to apply their time, knowledge, and creativity to improving experiences and lives in ways large and small.One of the things I need to do more of is highlight people who are working in the world of accessible technology. So stay tuned for that!And my guest today on Experience by Design is doing the work to improve people's lives as well in his own way. Like many guests on ExD, Chad Hufford of Veritas Wealth Management in Anchorage, Alaska is a behavioral scientist at heart, fascinated with what makes people act the way they do and what can be done to get them to make changes. He has applied this interest in the work he does as a financial planner. He does this up in Alaska, focusing his efforts on those who are working in those uniquely blue-collar Alaskan jobs where high risk can come with good pay. His goal is to help them make the best decisions possible with what they earn, but also help to create cultural and behavioral change in his clients. Part of this is to get people to not just think, but to act. His new book “Forging Financial Freedom: Constructing Blue-Collar Millionaires with Seven Wealth Building Lessons Extracted from the Alaska Oilfield”, lays out his experiences and lessons from doing this work. We talk about Chad's fascination with fitness, and how that led him to be interested in medical school. Biochemistry taught him a lot about problem solving and complex interactions within systems. The same can be said for the financial world, where a lot is beyond your control. Despite that, you can control how you act and what your vision of your future is. We also talk about unique aspects of Alaskan culture, overcoming complexity in financial decision making, how to build trust in financial planning, and making for better financial literacy and experiences. He emphasizes the importance of emotional connection and empathy in financial advising, and why friction is required to allow for thoughtful consideration. We explore how AI and technology can reduce friction in financial transactions but should not replace human empathy. Chad Hufford: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-hufford-066208100/Forging Financial Freedom: https://www.forgingfinancialfreedom.com/singleVeritas Wealth Management: https://www.veritasalaska.com/

Here's a question: If everyone's buying annuities right now, does that mean you should too? Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug tackle that exact question in this week's episode—but first, they're starting with the basics. Because before you can figure out complex financial products, you need to nail the fundamentals. And who better to teach them than Karen Holland, founder of Gifting Sense, who's made it her mission to help kids (and their parents) understand money in ways that actually stick. Karen breaks down how to teach the next generation about "need vs. want," why middle schoolers need to understand the real cost of "cool," and how financial literacy can be empowering instead of intimidating. Whether you've got kids or just want a refresher on the money basics you wish someone had taught you, this conversation is the reset button you didn't know you needed. Then things get timely: annuity sales are booming, and everyone's suddenly got an opinion. But are annuities the safe harbor they're marketed as, or just another way to lock up your money with fees you don't understand? Joe and OG cut through the sales pitch to help you figure out when annuities make sense—and when you're better off walking away. Plus: Doug delivers "life-changing" trivia (his words), there's an iHeart Music Festival giveaway tied to financial literacy, and you'll get your weekly dose of basement wisdom served with laughs. What You'll Walk Away With: • Karen Holland's framework for teaching kids financial literacy that actually changes behavior (not just lectures that go in one ear and out the other) • Why annuity sales are exploding right now—and the questions you MUST ask before signing anything • The difference between annuities that solve real problems and annuities that just create expensive ones • Financial habits that work at any age—whether you're teaching a 12-year-old or retraining yourself • How supporting financial education can score you iHeart Music Festival tickets (because doing good shouldn't be boring) This Episode Is For You If: • You want to teach kids about money but don't know where to start (or worry you'll mess it up) • Someone's pitched you an annuity and you're not sure if it's brilliant or a trap • You've heard annuities are "safe" but want to understand what you're actually giving up • You believe financial literacy is a gift worth giving—to your kids, your community, or yourself • You want money advice that doesn't talk down to you or assume you already know everything FULL SHOW NOTES: https://stackingbenjamins.com/raising-money-for-financial-literacy-1757 Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/201 Enjoy!

Send us a textYou know that feeling when money seems like this big, mysterious force that other people understand but you somehow missed the memo? That was my guest, Mel Dorman, author, real estate investor, and self-described financial activist, who went from living in the slums of Kolkata to building a seven-million-dollar real estate portfolio. Wild, right?But this isn't one of those “grind harder” stories. Mel started out as a social worker who believed that being broke meant being good. They actually practiced what they called financial celibacy, opting out of capitalism on moral grounds until life smacked them with a wake-up call. When their dad got sick and needed $7,000 a month in care, Mel realized that staying small and “pure” wasn't helping anyone. That moment flipped everything.Mel learned that money isn't dirty; it's neutral. And when you use it consciously, it can create freedom for everyone. We talk about how they built financial literacy from scratch, started investing through a strategy called seller financing (basically, cutting out the banks and keeping money circulating in the community), and why the real transformation wasn't in the dollars; it was in the mindset.Even if you never want to touch real estate, you'll get so much out of this conversation. Because this is really about power, purpose, and possibility. It's about rewriting the story that money is evil and learning to see it as a tool for impact. And yes, there's some woo-woo in there too.Grab your earbuds and get ready to feel a whole lot more empowered about your financial future.What's Inside:How Mel went from social worker to millionaire investor using seller financingWhy rejecting money doesn't make you moral; it keeps you smallThe mindset shift that turned financial guilt into empowermentReal examples of creating wealth that benefits your whole communityWhat does “riching” right look like to you?

In this conversation, philosopher and counselor Tyrone Powell discusses his journey from a corporate career to becoming a counselor. He focuses on the importance of self-discovery and the impact of economic stress on mental health.    He critiques the reliance on labels in mental health and advocates for a more holistic approach that considers the individual's environment and societal factors.    They also discuss how labels and diagnoses in mental health can be both helpful and harmful depending on their use cases, and how coping mechanisms can become harmful when overused.    The discussion also touches on the significance of community support over traditional systems, the role of coping mechanisms, and the need for a shift in how mental health is perceived and treated in society.   Tyrone and Nick deeply discuss how economic stress significantly impacts mental health and the importance of class consciousness in counseling.    They also discuss how the current economic conditions are causing the middle class to disappear into poverty, and how our government and societal systems will continue to fail to lift those out of poverty.    Enjoy this episode and go through life with your eyes wide open.    Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Tyrone Powell 01:43 Journey to Counseling and Self-Discovery 05:28 The Role of Labels in Mental Health 09:10 Understanding Mental Wellness 12:42 The Impact of Environment on Mental Health 16:09 Coping Mechanisms and Their Effects 19:58 The Shadow Self and Personal Growth 23:34 Class Conscious Counseling and Its Importance 27:02 Challenging the Status Quo in Therapy 33:04 The Interconnection of Economic and Mental Health Issues 35:23 Therapeutic Approaches to Financial Stress 39:05 Generational Perspectives on Financial Literacy 42:06 The State of the Middle Class and Economic Anxiety 45:52 The Role of Community in Addressing Systemic Issues 50:31 Capitalism is Eating Itself and Disappearing the Middle Class 57:22 Everything in Your Life Comes Back to Politics  Find Tyrone Powell here: Instagram: https://instagram.com/tyronethephilosopher  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TyronethePhilosopher Podcast: "It's Okay, Man" https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-okay-man/id1809681299  Website: https://hellotyrone.ca/    Find Nick Thompson here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nthompson513/ |   https://www.instagram.com/the_ucan_foundation/    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EyesWideOpenContent    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickthompson13/      UCAN Foundation: https://theucanfoundation.org/  Website: https://www.engagewithnick.com/
