Podcasts about financial freedom

You've built up (or are about to build) a rental portfolio, but something is telling you it's time to pivot. Maybe you've gone too far into one strategy, like owning eight short-term rentals. Or you're seeing new build-to-rent properties with low prices, low maintenance, and low interest rates, and thinking “hmm…that seems like a good deal.” How do you know when to stay on course with your original plan or pivot to something greater? Which will get you financial freedom faster (and safer)? This is a dilemma that you're probably facing, and if you aren't right now, you will. Garrett Brown is facing this conundrum head-on. He's spent years building a real estate portfolio, but he's deep in the vacation rental realm. He wants a safer, more passive, less time-intensive way to diversify his portfolio, so what should he do? He's got three options: buy a small multifamily rental, buy another short-term rental in a different part of town, or take advantage of new-build properties with price cuts and significant builder concessions. These are options that are probably open to you right now, and we're about to show you which makes the most money, which has the least stress, and which is the best for real estate diversification.  In This Episode We Cover Build-to-rent vs. multifamily vs. Airbnb: Which is the best bet in 2025? When to pivot strategies and do something new to diversify your real estate portfolio Red flags when buying a long or short-term rental that could hurt your cash flow Are the high returns of Airbnb worth the added stress/time to manage?  The unbeatable benefit of new-build rental properties in 2025   And So Much More!

Codie Sanchez drops truth bombs about why everything you've been taught about building wealth is backwards. From her awakening moment in college when she refused to let anyone control her through money, to building a multi-million dollar empire by buying "boring" businesses, Codie reveals the mindset shifts that separate the wealthy from the broke. She breaks down why saving your way to riches is a myth, how to buy your first business with little money down, and the relationship dynamics that either fuel or destroy your success.

From car washes at 13 to $168K in a single trading day - this is not the story you think it is. Because Jason didn't chase get-rich-quick money. He wanted freedom, so he built a plan to get it. In this episode, Adam Stott (the UK's go-to expert on how to start, grow, and scale your business) unpacks the journey of a calm, analytical entrepreneur who beat the odds - without the hype.

The world doesn't move in straight lines. Headlines whiplash from inflation scares to rate cuts, tech booms to banking jitters, and back again before lunch. In that kind of turbulence, relying solely on the classic 60/40 mix can feel like sailing with a single sail in shifting winds. Alternative investing—owning assets beyond public stocks and bonds—adds more tools to the kit: private credit that pays you to wait, real assets that rise with the cost of living, uncorrelated strategies that don't flinch every time the S&P sneezes.Patrick Grimes, founder and CEO of Passive Investing Mastery, an internationally bestselling author, and a Forbes Council contributor, is a serial entrepreneur specializing in alternative investments. His portfolio is diversified across energy, litigation finance, commercial lending and acquisitions, including retail, industrial, and thousands of apartment units. Patrick has developed a range of diversified passive investments focused on growth and cash flow, including the Diversified Litigation Portfolio, Acquisitions Fund, and Income Fund, all designed to thrive during economic downturns.Formerly a robotics and automation engineer, Patrick holds a BS and MS in Engineering and an MBA. Based in Honolulu, Hawaii, he is dedicated to educating investors on achieving financial independence through mastery in passive alternative investing.Contact Details:Email: patrick@passiveinvestingmastery.com Website: www.passiveinvestingmastery.com Socials:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricksgrimes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/passiveinvestingmastery/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PassiveInvestingMastery Media Samples: ● Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing ● The Art of Passive Income ● The Wealth FlowFREE GIFT: PassiveInvestingMastery.com/bookRemember to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss "Information That You Can Use."

This week on the Journey to Launch podcast, I'm welcoming back Jillian Johnsrud, author of Retire Often, to share how you can intentionally step away from work every few years, giving yourself the space to recharge, explore new possibilities, and create meaningful memories. Jillian has taken more than a dozen “mini retirements,” allowing her to live abroad, travel to 27 countries, adopt and raise six kids, invest in real estate, and pursue personal passions all without waiting until traditional retirement age. In this conversation, we dive into how you can design your own cycle of work and rest, why taking extended breaks doesn't derail your finances (and may even accelerate your career), and how to navigate the emotional and practical challenges of stepping away from work. In this episode you'll learn: What “retiring often” means and how mini retirements differ from vacations How to financially plan and budget for sabbaticals—even with debt Strategies for negotiating time off, re-entering the workforce, and handling family or personal expectations Tools and frameworks to help both employees and entrepreneurs rest, recharge, and avoid burnout Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Check out Retire Often, by Jillian Johnsrud Apply to Share Your Journeyer Story, here.

Known for her fearless analysis of global finance, Catherine exposes how central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), “stablecoins,” and programmable money are paving the way for unprecedented social control.She explains why the Covid era was the largest wealth transfer in history, how government and corporate collusion drains family wealth, and why Main Street was deliberately shut down in favor of Wall Street consolidation. From the surveillance state to financial censorship, Catherine connects the dots on how technology, banking, and policy converge into a digital prison.But this episode isn't just about warning signs—it's about solutions. Catherine offers practical strategies for preserving financial sovereignty, from banking locally and using cash to investing in people, food, and real community wealth. Her message is clear: freedom in health, food, and money are inseparable—and the future depends on us reclaiming them.

In this episode of Money on My Mind, I break down why mastering money isn't about complicated formulas or secret investment hacks—it's about your relationship with money.   At its core, money is simple: spend less than you make, invest the difference, and let time compound your returns. But fear, guilt, shame, and identity conflicts often sabotage even the smartest strategies. I share how subconscious beliefs, childhood programming, and emotional barriers can keep you stuck in a cycle of avoidance and scarcity, and I give you practical steps to reset your money mindset for long-term success.   This conversation will challenge your beliefs, push you to confront your fears, and give you a framework for aligning your identity with abundance.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 00:37 How your emotions about money make it complicated 01:38 The 3-step playbook: spend less than you make, invest the difference, let time work 02:27 The role of fear, guilt, and mindset blocks in your relationship with money 05:12 The unknown factor: why people fear investing like they fear the “unknown villain” in a movie 07:02 Scarcity and procrastination: why people hoard money instead of investing 08:10 Subconscious programming and avoidance behaviors 10:40 Guilt and shame: linking mistakes with self-worth keeps people stuck 11:42 Why avoiding your budget or bank account makes the problem worse 13:03 Identity conflict: “I grew up poor, I'm not supposed to be rich” 16:06 How labels hold you back from achieving your financial goals 18:02 Victimhood vs. ownership: why externalizing blame disempowers you 21:40 Breaking from the matrix mindset and thinking independently about money 24:53 Personal story: saving every paycheck at McDonald's, losing $1M in potential investments 28:35 Why environment and belief systems dictate results (Budget Dog Academy framework) 33:02 The two keys to success: focus and not giving up 36:00 Conviction, belief, and aligning your identity with your desired outcome   Quotables   “If you save money and don't invest it, you are guaranteed to lose money through inflation.”   “You are your own problem, therefore you are your own solution.”   “Your confusion, fear, and avoidance—not money itself—are the real enemy.”   Links The Roadmap to Financial Freedom https://budgetdogacademy.com/order-now   Budgetdog https://budgetdog.com/   Brennan Schlagbaum https://www.instagram.com/budgetdog

In this episode, Wes Read, CPA and financial advisor, highlights a common mistake among dental practice owners: treating financial planning as a one-time task instead of an ongoing cycle. Just like dental hygiene requires regular checkups, financial hygiene needs consistent monitoring, updating, and adjustment.Wes explains the fourth phase of financial planning: Implement → Monitor → Revise → Repeat. Following a structured rhythm ensures clarity, accountability, and faster progress toward financial independence.Seven Key Activities for Dental Practice Owners:Review monthly financial statements (profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow).Update long-term personal financial plan annually (ideally in January).Revisit personal spending plan annually to track expenses accurately.Complete tax projections twice yearly (June and October/November).Update family payroll annually in January to optimize taxes and 401(k) contributions.Adjust doctor payroll three times yearly (January, June, October) for taxes and retirement.Complete cash flow forecasts and allocate surplus capital in June and October.Wes notes that traditional CPAs often focus on historical data and compliance, while dental-specific financial advisors help align practice cash flow with personal financial goals, creating real traction toward wealth.Key Takeaways:Financial planning is an ongoing cycle, not a one-time event.Monthly reviews and annual updates keep you proactive.Semi-annual tax and cash flow planning prevent surprises.Working with a dental-specific advisor accelerates wealth building.Consistency compounds into financial freedom and lifestyle flexibility.Resources Mentioned:Financial Activity Cadence

Discover the two inflation reports due out this week. Are you on track for financial freedom...or not? Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest can make the biggest difference to your financial freedom and lifestyle. If you invested well for the long-term, what a difference it would make because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars.

Mike Perez, a seasoned financial advisor and author of Faith and Finances, didn't start his career thinking about generosity or Kingdom impact. He began in accounting, building a solid professional foundation, but deep down, something felt incomplete—both professionally and spiritually. A series of God-ordained encounters drew Mike into the world of financial advising and, more importantly, into a place of full surrender to Christ. From that point on, his question became: What would it look like to truly live out my faith through my finances?   Over the last 33 years, that question has shaped Mike's entire career. Today, he carries a special passion for helping those in or near retirement “finish their race strong” by aligning their financial plans with their spiritual calling. In Faith and Finances, Mike distills decades of wisdom to help believers embrace biblical principles for financial success and radical generosity. Along the way, he offers profound insights on discovering your personal calling, setting a financial finish line that frees you to give boldly, stewarding your time and resources with eternal purpose, and building a legacy that outlives you and points others to Christ.   Major Topics Include: Mike's journey through living out is faith in his finances Learning generosity and stewardship in community The importance of heart change on the stewardship journey  What does it mean to finish well? The five pillars of a faith-driven retirement Important conversations about legacy Advice for doing legacy well as a follower of Christ Estate mapping with families Tips for experiencing heart change Three steps of a Journey of Generosity experience Practical tips for setting a finish line Living out calling beyond the working years  Encouragement to keep growing and stretching in faith and generosity QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Our industry is all about people getting the money thing right, and I think that's fine and good. But I think what's more important is getting the life thing right, especially in the second half of life.” “Ephesians 2:10 says that you were designed for good works, it doesn't say that all bets are off once you're retired. You're meant to do good works until the end.” “We shouldn't be asking God, ‘How much should I give?' but rather ‘How much should I keep?'” “Does it take more faith to give while you're here or after you're gone?” “I don't think the journey ever ends because God's always working on our hearts.” “Giving breaks the power of money.” “Your best days can be ahead of you!” “Just take your next step with Jesus.” “Generosity is a muscle. The more you work it out, the stronger it becomes.” “God just wants to know that He can use you.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Faith and Finances by Michael Perez The ABC's of Financial Freedom by Barry L.

Harry brings a wealth of technical expertise to his role, holding a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MS in Product Development Engineering. Over the past 17 years, Harry and his team have built an impressive portfolio, ranging from luxury townhomes to multifamily residential buildings. The conversation kicks off with Harry's inspiring journey, including how he and his wife started in real estate after attending a seminar while he was still working full-time in the aerospace industry. Harry shares the ups and downs of scaling from single-family flips to full-scale multifamily developments, including the story of their largest project to date—a 50-unit, 50,000-square-foot multifamily building in Seattle. He dives deep into the complexities of ground-up development, explaining the entitlement process, funding strategies, and how to manage construction risks in a volatile market. Along the way, Harry reveals how their first deal—initially a flip that turned into a long-term rental due to market conditions—laid the foundation for a philosophy of flexibility and multiple exit strategies, a key lesson for any investor. Whether you're a beginner looking to move into multifamily projects or a seasoned investor curious about large-scale development, this episode is packed with insights on navigating risks, leveraging partnerships, and building wealth through real estate.

Every entrepreneur dreams of the big exit, yet for many, the American Dream can quickly turn into the American Nightmare.Within five years, Alex Bean went from startup founder to selling Divvy for $2.5 billion to Bill.com—making enough money to never work another day in his life.But instead of fulfillment, he was blindsided by loneliness, loss of identity, strained relationships, and new family challenges money couldn't fix. He realized what many successful entrepreneurs eventually face: wealth can be a blessing or a curse, depending on how you handle it.Out of this season came Alex's mission-driven venture, Factory for Good—a company designed to help entrepreneurs and families use money as a force for good, protect their most important relationships, and build lasting wealth that doesn't destroy the next generation.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) Why financial freedom without purpose often leads to loneliness, loss of identity, and broken relationships—and how to avoid it.2.) The Factory for Good framework for turning money, time, and energy into a legacy of impact rather than destruction.3.) Practical strategies Alex uses with his own family—like the “Happiness Audit,” the “Bank of Mom & Dad,” and relationship frameworks—that will change the way you think about wealth, parenting, and purpose.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/254Tax 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.

Financial freedom—no boss bugging you, bills taken care of, vacations easily paid for, and time to do whatever you want. This is the goal of every real estate investor, and the goal Dave and Henry had when they bought their first rental properties. But now, they're financially free, with real estate portfolios that can pay for their lifestyles and seven-figure net worths. Is financial freedom what they thought it would be?  No.  Dave and Henry could quit. They could vacation for much of the year. They could drive Ferraris. But…they don't. They both continue to work and invest, even while being financially independent. But why? Today, we're talking about why financial freedom is much different than you think, why Dave and Henry decided NOT to live off of their cash flow, and what actual financial freedom looks like (it's not endless beach days). You want financial freedom, but what if the reality of financial freedom is even better than you thought? Today, we're showing you how to get there, how to change your financial freedom goals as you grow, and why getting to financial freedom slower will make you even happier. In This Episode We Cover Paying off properties vs. buying more: which gets you financial freedom faster? The “levels” of financial freedom, and which one you're at right now  Financial freedom vs. financial flexibility: the real goal for real estate investors  Why spending your rentals' cash flow delays your financial freedom  Why you should have some lifestyle creep and upgrade your standards as your wealth grows  And So Much More!
