Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest, makes a huge difference to your financial future and lifestyle. If you only knew where to invest 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. Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!  INTERESTED IN THE BE WEALTHY & SMART VIP EXPERIENCE? - Invest in stock ETFs, private equity and digital assets for potential high compounding rates - Asset allocation model with ticker symbols and % to invest -Monthly LIVE investment webinars with Linda, with Q & A -Private VIP Facebook group with daily interaction -Weekly investment commentary from Linda -Optional 1-on-1 tech team support for digital assets -Join, pay once, have lifetime access!

What if the traditional blueprint for life—marriage, mortgage, and a couple of kids—just doesn't fit you? In this week's episode of The Lo Life, Lo sits down with Dr. Jay Zigmont, PhD, MBA, CFP®, a best-selling author and financial planner who built his entire career on one radical question: What does financial freedom look like when kids aren't part of the plan? Dr. Jay is the founder of Childfree Wealth® and a nationally recognized voice featured in Forbes, Fortune, and The Wall Street Journal. He and his wife made the conscious decision to live childfree—and in doing so, redefined what success, security, and legacy truly mean. This conversation isn't just for people without kids. It's for anyone who wants to rethink their relationship with money, homeownership, retirement, estate planning, and even cryptocurrency—with clarity and confidence. Lo and Dr. Jay break down: Why so many are choosing to live childfree—and what the data actually says about the future of family and finance. Whether you really need life insurance or a will if you don't have kids. How to prepare for retirement without relying on the “raise a family = built-in safety net” model. How to approach investing—even if you're starting late, scared, or unsure where to begin. The best piece of financial advice Dr. Jay has ever received (and why it applies to literally everyone). This episode will challenge your assumptions, offer real solutions, and might just change the way you think about your future. Whether you're childfree by choice, by circumstance, or you're simply tired of outdated money advice—this one's for you. Stay Connected to The Lo Life!

Your abundance isn't something that can be taken away. It's a part of you.We've all heard the phrase “money can't buy happiness.” And while those of us at TBM know it's true, we're also aware of the world we live in, one where money is needed to meet our basic needs and help us enjoy material comforts. There is a simple, uniting truth we're here to share with you: You cannot manifest true abundance (spiritual OR material) without a foundation of authenticity. Until you investigate the narratives you've been holding onto and heal those subconscious wounds, you'll always seek corrective, surface-level experiences rather than the answers to your authentic wants and needs.This episode explores five unique levels (outlined in our Money Quiz linked below) that serve as our starting point going into our new Money Challenge. If you've ever felt stuck in striving, uncertain about your next step, or quietly questioning if the life you've built reflects your truth—this is your call to return home to yourself. Our powerful 3-week challenge will guide you through the energetic terrain of wealth consciousness and reaffirm the truth: that money is never just about money—it's about healing, self-worth, and authenticity. Your financial story is your own. Your magic is right in front of you. Your abundance starts within.**Please note that our conversation in this episode is not intended as direct financial advice.

This week, we're getting deep (like, basement-deep) into what it means to flourish. Join Joe, OG, Paula Pant, and special guest Ryan Doolittle as they unpack a brand-new study on happiness. Spoiler: it's not just about stacking cash. From the influence of childhood experiences to the surprising power of community, autonomy, and faith, this episode asks whether true wealth is more emotional than numerical. Plus, Ryan shares his adventures from his new series Try and Ryan—where he road-tests hobbies that might just add meaning to your retirement (and your Tuesdays). What we're exploring in the basement:

I used to believe the key to success was working harder than everyone else.And for a while, that served me. But over time, I started asking different questions—like what would it look like to build a life where work didn't come at the expense of family, faith, or freedom?This episode is a little different, as I'm the one being interviewed. Preston Brown, host of the Problems to Profit Podcast, pulls out the biggest lessons I've learned, from selling newspaper subscriptions in middle school to investing in private deals that create passive income and real-time freedom today.We get into why I prioritize passive income over net worth, and how relationships and masterminds have opened the door to some of my biggest opportunities.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) How one passive income deal replaced my wife's income—and how that one move kickstarted our journey to financial freedom.2.) My personal framework for allocating surplus income into deals that create long-term freedom.3.) Why I created The Lifestyle Investor Mastermind—an exclusive community giving members access to the same deals and strategies used by the ultra-wealthy.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/240Tax 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.

Sometimes the most powerful move is admitting when you've been playing small. Today, I'm revealing my own journey with imposter syndrome and why I'm changing this podcast back to its original name: "Make More Money as a Dietitian." This is NOT about going backwards; it's about finally having the courage to own what we've always been about. Because here's the truth: every conversation about money is really a conversation about self-worth. Every struggle with pricing is actually a battle with confidence. And every time you undervalue your work, you're letting imposter syndrome win. Through raw honesty and hard-won insights, we're exploring why your desire for financial freedom isn't something to apologize for;  it's actually your intuition telling you that you're ready to step into your full power. Whether you're building a private practice, navigating career transitions, or simply tired of playing small, this episode will give you permission to want more and the confidence to go get it.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE The real story behind why I changed the podcast name (and why I'm changing it back) How imposter syndrome shows up in your pricing, boundaries, and professional decisions Why every money issue is actually a self-worth issue in disguise The connection between financial freedom and personal transformation How undervaluing your work feeds the cycle of self-doubt Why the world needs you to make more money (yes, really) The identity shift that happens when you finally believe you're worth it How to recognize when you're letting fear steal your confidence   This episode is a rallying cry for every dietitian who's ready to stop apologizing for wanting more. It's time to trust yourself – with your career, your money, your private practice, and your life.     TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL Come join us in Money Mindset Mastery & More, our amazing Facebook community where dietitians like you support each other, share wins, and create magic together. This is where we're having real conversations about building fulfilling careers, creating sustainable success, and transforming our relationship with money. Remember, the journey to financial freedom is so much sweeter when we walk it together!

We'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts and questions?In this enlightening conversation, Marc Adams shares his journey from facing a stage four cancer diagnosis to becoming a successful entrepreneur focused on helping others maximize their business value and achieve tax-free exits.

His personal story and insights provide a roadmap for others looking to create lasting legacies and financial freedom.Main Points: Marc Adams' journey began by accident, driven by a desire to help business owners.Many businesses do not sell for their desired price due to various market factors.COVID-19 and a cancer diagnosis prompted Marc to rethink his approach to business.Nine out of ten companies do not sell, which can leave families in financial distress.The importance of understanding the tax implications when selling a business is crucial.Marc's book, 'Secret to 10X in Your Business and Cashing Out Tax Free,' became a bestseller.Business owners can significantly increase their company's value through strategic growth.Acquisitions can be a fast track to doubling business size and value.Creating wealth is only half the battle; keeping it is equally important.Marc encourages entrepreneurs to share their wealth and knowledge to uplift others. Connect with Marc Adams:marc@acquisitions4you.comhttp://www.acquisitions4you.com/http://www.marcadams.io/http://www.linkedin.com/in/1marcadamsX: @marc1adams

Discover why the Circle IPO is near. Are you investing well for financial freedom...or not? Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest, makes a huge difference to your financial future and lifestyle. If you only knew where to invest 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. Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!  INTERESTED IN THE BE WEALTHY & SMART VIP EXPERIENCE? - Invest in stock ETFs, private equity and digital assets for potential high compounding rates - Asset allocation model with ticker symbols and % to invest -Monthly LIVE investment webinars with Linda, with Q & A -Private VIP Facebook group with daily interaction -Weekly investment commentary from Linda -Optional 1-on-1 tech team support for digital assets -Join, pay once, have lifetime access!

Ever feel like your brain just gives up on you halfway through the day? You're doing all the right things—grinding, pushing, sipping your fourth cup of coffee—and still, your focus slips and your energy crashes. It's not because you're lazy or lacking discipline. It's because your brain is burnt out. And guess what? There's science to back that up—and a solution that's way cooler than you'd think.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I got to sit down with Dr. Ramses Alcaide, a neuroscientist and the CEO of Neurable. Now, if you haven't heard of Neurable yet, you're about to have your mind blown—because they're not just making headphones, they're creating the future of brain optimization. We're talking real-time brainwave tracking, AI-powered productivity support, and tech that literally helps you prevent burnout before it even begins.Dr. Ramses shared some gold nuggets in our convo. One of the biggest takeaways? Breaks aren't just something nice to take—they're absolutely essential. But here's the kicker: not all breaks are created equal. Most of us think taking a break means scrolling through our phones or watching a random YouTube video. But according to neuroscience, those kinds of breaks don't help your brain recover. What you need are effective breaks—strategic rest that restores focus and reboots your mind for high performance.That's where Neurable comes in. These aren't just headphones—they're like a personal coach for your brain. They monitor your neural signals and tell you when you're locked in and when your focus is slipping. When it's time to take a break, you'll know. When it's time to power through, you'll be in flow. It's like turning your brain into your biggest productivity ally. For an entrepreneur trying to juggle it all, that's a massive win.We also dive into the power of experimentation. Dr. Ramses emphasized how no two brains are the same. What works for your buddy might not work for you. Some people recharge by moving their body, some through meditation, and others through quick mental resets. Neurable gives you insights to figure out what your brain needs, not just what productivity books tell you.Then we got into some seriously next-level stuff—like how this kind of brain-tech isn't just about optimizing your daily hustle. It's also paving the way for early detection and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Imagine having the ability to identify brain health issues years before symptoms show up. That's the kind of proactive health support that could change lives.And if you're thinking this tech is just for hardcore biohackers or neuroscientists, think again. Even if all you do is take calls and listen to music, these headphones are still worth it. The bonus is that you're supporting your brain while you're at it. I've been using them myself, and I gotta say—they're a game-changer.So whether you're running a startup or building your empire, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Ramses breaks down the science in a way that's extremely accessible, and the conversation is filled with real, actionable advice you can start using today.Want to hear how to stop burning out, start optimizing, and think your way to better performance? If you're ready to give your brain a boost, check out Neurable.com and use code HAPPY to save over a hundred bucks on a pair of headphones.

Financial freedom is something we should all be striving for. Our parents taught us to be practical and get a good, stable job. But life isn't always stable, and if we are going to be bad ass feminists who do what we want with our lives, we need to be financially free. Financial freedom means leaving your cheating husband without worries and about bills, it means fully funding your maternity leave to spend time with your newborn, and it means taking a calculated risk on your time and not anyone else's. This week's guest is a good friend of mine who has done all this and more, and she's going to show you how you can do it too.    Jannese Torres is an award-winning Latina Money Expert. She became an accidental entrepreneur after a job loss led her to create a successful Latin food blog, Delish D'Lites. Now, she helps her clients and listeners build successful online businesses that allow them to pursue financial independence and freedom. Jannese is on a mission to educate marginalized communities on topics like entrepreneurship, investing, and financial independence through her personal finance podcast, "Yo Quiero Dinero." Her new book, Financially Lit!, was published by Grand Central Publishing on April 30, 2024. Order your copy at financiallylitbook.com  Launched in 2019, Yo Quiero Dinero® is an award-winning personal finance podcast for Latinas and people of color.

Whether it's getting yourself out of a bad situation or setting yourself up for a good one, you need to be financially free.

Ever wonder why your business shows profits on paper but your bank account tells a different story? Rocky Lalvani, the Profit Answer Man, joins us to shatter conventional accounting wisdom with a simple yet revolutionary approach: take your profit first.Most entrepreneurs follow the traditional formula of sales minus expenses equals profit, making your financial reward an afterthought—whatever happens to be left over. Rocky flips this equation, teaching that successful businesses approach it as sales minus profit equals expenses. This fundamental shift ensures you get paid first, forcing your business to operate within its means.Through riveting breakdowns of real-world scenarios, Rocky illuminates why even businesses with strong sales often struggle financially. From e-commerce sellers battling slim margins after marketplace fees to service businesses failing to account for their own time, the root problem usually traces back to incomplete math from the beginning. "If you didn't do the math on your business when you started," Rocky explains, "how did you know it would be profitable?"The conversation takes a fascinating turn examining the cash conversion cycle—how long it takes for a dollar invested to return with profit. For many e-commerce businesses, this cycle stretches beyond 160 days as products move from manufacturing to customer delivery to payment processing. This extended timeline creates a dangerous trap where growth actually threatens survival, as each new sale demands more cash before previous investments return.Rocky's airplane analogy perfectly encapsulates the entrepreneur's journey: "Running a business is like flying an airplane—you need to know your destination, have enough fuel to get there, and constantly course-correct along the way." Many businesses crash because they build an aircraft designed to carry more than it can handle, without enough runway to take off or fuel to reach their destination.Whether you're just starting your entrepreneurial journey or working to scale an existing business, this episode provides the financial clarity needed to build a company that serves your life rather than consuming it.

If you only knew where to invest 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.

Damien Lupo's journey into real estate began in his early twenties. He used a $10,000 credit card advance as his starting capital to begin acquiring properties. Through relentless effort, strategic planning, and leveraging his initial successes over several years, this initial foray into the market rapidly snowballed, eventually allowing him to build an impressive $25 million property portfolio.But when the 2008 crash hit, Damien lost everything—his properties, investors, and even experienced homelessness. This devastating fall, however, became the catalyst for rebuilding his life from the ground up, focusing not just on financial recovery but on a profound mental and philosophical transformation. Today, Damien runs multiple successful businesses, helps high-income earners secure their retirement with EQRP, and teaches the principles of building true, sustainable wealth from the inside out. In this interview, Damien Lupo sits down with Ryan Atkinson to share his incredible journey, how to cultivate an unstoppable mindset, the truth about passive income, investing strategies and actionable steps for anyone looking to build a strong financial foundation and achieve lasting financial freedom.Takeaways- Damien's childhood was marked by a scarcity mindset.- He learned resilience and self-determination from a young age.- Trusting the process is crucial for personal growth.- Entrepreneurs see problems as opportunities.- Wealth creation requires time and effort, not just luck.- The 2008 crash taught Damien about the importance of stress testing investments.- Ego can lead to financial downfall if not managed.- True wealth encompasses health and time, not just money.- Investing in personal development yields the highest returns.- Taking action, even small steps, is essential for financial growth. Take action to get in the game.- Know your financial reality through the three Cs: cash, credit cards, and calendar.- True passive income doesn't exist; active engagement is necessary.- Wealth requires nurturing and care to thrive.- You must play to win, not just to avoid losing.- Surround yourself with positive influences to foster growth.- Investing is about respecting and nurturing your capital.- The 10-Year Millionaire Action Plan provides a roadmap to financial freedom.- Thinking bigger leads to greater potential and fulfillment.- The biggest regret is not living up to your potential.Tags: Strategic Planning, Service & Consulting, Financial Freedom, Wealth Building, InvestingResources:Start Your Business Today: https://links.upflip.com/4mvixT9 Connect with Damion: https://www.instagram.com/damion.lupo/

Discover the first two ETFs and validation in the prospectus. Are you investing well for financial freedom...or not? Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest, makes a huge difference to your financial future and lifestyle. If you only knew where to invest 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. Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!  INTERESTED IN THE BE WEALTHY & SMART VIP EXPERIENCE? - Invest in stock ETFs, private equity and digital assets for potential high compounding rates - Asset allocation model with ticker symbols and % to invest -Monthly LIVE investment webinars with Linda, with Q & A -Private VIP Facebook group with daily interaction -Weekly investment commentary from Linda -Optional 1-on-1 tech team support for digital assets -Join, pay once, have lifetime access!
