You know they are there. You pay on them, but you try to never think of them because it depresses you that you’ll be paying on them forever. Is that you? If you’re ignoring your student loans it’s time to develop a serious strategy to face them head-on. Check out our options at studentloanplanner.com. Word of the Day: Nouveau Riche, which also means “new money”. Sheria talked about how she could tell the difference between old money and new money. Old money acted like they didn’t have it because they were comfortable with it being there. New money liked to flaunt it and show off what they had. This is a good reminder that as you build wealth, especially if you aren’t used to having it you really need to think twice about how you’re spending it. You want to look like old money. Don’t think you have to be flashy to prove you are making it, those that are truly wealthy aren’t worried about impressing others. If you have financial questions, suggestions for guest or would like to share your own money memoir please contact us through our website worth-listening.com.

Today’s guest is Tela Holcomb. Let’s cut right to the chase, Tela retired at the age of 29! It didn’t happen because she was born into money, won the lotto, or took any other shortcut. She reached that point through educating herself on the stock market and trading. Tela is an Air Force Veteran that joined the military because she wanted to force herself to commit to something that she would not be able to quit. She grew up in a small town and she wanted to give herself a chance to be gone for long enough that she could guarantee herself a change. Today she spends her time teaching others how they can use investments and trading as a source of income and change their financial futures. She gets to do this purely because she enjoys it, not because she needs the money from it. Today Tela will share with us more about the basic financial lessons her mom taught her that helped set her on the right path for handling her finances in the future. She shares how she started learning about investments and why she struggled with the idea of “retiring” and focusing on her investments and trading. In This Episode We Discuss: How learning to balance a checkbook, budget, and pay the bills made such a difference in her life. The importance of trademarking in your business. The importance of not increasing your spending every time you get an increase in your pay. Why she and her husband have been able to be successful in handling finances in marriage. Why it’s important to teach your children more than you were taught in order to expand what they can achieve. Connect with Tela: Instagram: instagram.com/telaholcomb/ Facebook: facebook.com/TelaHolcomb/ Twitter: twitter.com/telaholcomb Websites:Telaholcomb.com and tradeyour9to5.com/ Word of the Day: Trademarking A trademark is essentially a symbol or set of words intended to be used to identify and distinguish the brand name of one seller or provider from others. You need to legally register your name and logo so others can’t impersonate your material. Tela shared some reasons on why this is so important and I need to get to it! Trademarking your ideas helps you protect your intellectual property. You may have some great ideas that could really help you change your financial future, but if you don’t protect those ideas you could lose them completely. Tela is able to rest easy because she knows if someone tries to use her something she created, her intellectual property, her trademark attorney’s got her back. It’s not only important to make the money and create the ideas, but it’s also important to protect what you have created.

Today’s guest is Angela E. Matthews. She calls herself a serial entrepreneur because she loves the entrepreneurship lifestyle and has built several businesses over the years. Currently, she’s the woman behind the Happy Investor Method. Angela learned how to use investments to her advantage and is passionate about teaching others how to do the same. Angela wasn’t taught how to handle money as a child. Her parents moved to the US from Guyana in the late ’70s and in their culture you had what you needed but little else. Growing up if she needed clothes for school or money for a class trip she could ask for it, but she didn’t earn an allowance or have a source of income to teach her financial strategy or savings. Her parents stressed the importance of education overworking when she was in school. But, when she hit college she found out there was another way to live and there was money to be had. She discovered that while education is important having a job and a paycheck could also help her throughout her time in college. That set her on the path that eventually led to her creating the Happy Investor Method. Angela has had to overcome a few obstacles on the path to where she is right now, but there is one thing that helped her along the way—her ability to not take “no” as the final answer. There have been multiple times throughout her life that people told her “no” but she pushed on and found a way to make it happen. In This Episode We Discuss: How her parent’s debt impacted her ability to get financial aid for college. How she ended up in investments as a philosophy major. The difference between obtaining wealth and preserving wealth. How she started investing and what she encourages her clients to do. The importance of changing your mindset when it comes to your situation and your finances. Angela on Facebook: facebook.com/TheAngelaEMatthews Learn more about Angela: happyinvestormethod.com Word of the Day: Choice Choice-making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities. The key here is POSSIBILITIES. Mindset might have you saying there are no other options. Choose to focus on the possibilities and then take action change is inevitable. “Sometimes you think you’re born into a situation and you’re going to have to die in that situation and it really gives you the feeling of hopelessness. But the second you realize you have a choice, which we all have, then you can actually be diligent about changing your situation.” You can choose to figure it out on your own. You can choose to invest in yourself by enlisting the help of a professional to help you with the strategy and accountable to make the changes in a timely fashion.

Amara’s message is on making the impossible possible in your life and I’d like to talk about that word “impossible”. It means incapable of being or incurring. This is a word that holds us back from achieving greater things. It’s a word that limits our mindset. People believe things like “it’s impossible to save for retirement while paying on student loans” or “it’s impossible to go to college without taking student loans” or “it’s impossible to get out of the financial hole that I’m in”. Let me tell you, these things are not impossible. Sometimes, we just need to change up our vocabulary which affects our mindset. If you feel like you are in an “impossible” place with getting to your financial goals start by talking to (friend, planner, therapist) to see what you can do to make the “impossible” possible.

This week we go deep in part two of my epic four-hour conversation with documentarian and gonzo journalist Charles Shaw – one of this show’s most requested return guests.In part one, Charles laid out the map of the problem: a world in crisis, an age of epidemic trauma and addiction. In this episode, we get into his self-experimentation with sleep deprivation to understand the hallucinatory reality of America’s homeless, his journey of healing and recovery working with entheogens and military veterans, and how facing and embracing our darkness with humility and courage may be the only way we can prepare ourselves to make a meaningful contribution to our world. Get ready for a heady brew of grit, dark humor, grief and relief, and the luminous truth that awaits us on the other side of suffering…Support these vital conversations with a small monthly contribution:http://patreon.com/michaelgarfieldSubscribe on Apple Podcasts • Stitcher • Spotify • iHeart RadioJoin our Facebook Discussion Group––––––––––––––––Part One:https://www.patreon.com/posts/16862172Charles on Youtube & Vimeo:https://www.youtube.com/user/UnheardVoicesArchivehttps://vimeo.com/nomadcinema“Meeting The Self You Aren’t,” excerpts from my talks with Charles on the 2010 Light & Shadow Tour:https://evolution.bandcamp.com/album/meeting-the-self-you-arentIn October and November 2010, I traveled to thirty cities across the United States with journalist and documentary film-maker Charles Shaw on what we called "The Light & Shadow Tour." Half our time was spent filming interviews for his documentary about the War on Drugs and prison industrial complex; half our time was spent engaging audiences in deep discussion on the role of what psychologists call "the shadow" in personal and cultural transformation. The shadow is the part of ourselves so profoundly disowned that it shows up not as a quality of the self, but a trait of other people - not a choice that we are making, but a fate that imposes itself upon us. And to whatever degree we continue to refuse acknowledgment of our shadows, we remain the desperate victims of life instead of its joyous collaborators. It isn't easy to write a new story of the self - and to constantly re-write that story, when new truths come to us in the form of disarming companions, rude awakenings, and other surprises. But it is the work set out before us, if we are to live as whole people and give the most of ourselves to the birthing of a new and better world.––––––––––––––––IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:- How seeking validation for his work made him miserable, but he moved through the crisis and the victimhood into a new sense of completeness;- How service to other people in the trauma and addiction healing process as an intake and integration facilitator at ibogaine clinics accelerated his own healing;- The puzzle of figuring out how to use psychedelics as part of the healing process for people with diagnosed mental disorders, for whom the action of psychedelics is still poorly understood;- The homelessness and drug addiction situation in San Francisco, a city in crisis and an “open-air asylum”;- How he took a personal journey into the insanity and delusional states of America’s growing homeless population through a gonzo journalist’s approach of firsthand speed use and sleep deprivation (up to nine days at a time, under clinical supervision);- What he learned from three years of intense work with entheogens about the experience of death and the emotional process of moving through epochal transitions;- Hanging out with the “shadow people,” the characteristic hallucinations that externalize our own repressed internal voices when we start to lose our minds;- Our resistance to treatment and medicine, because keeping things the way they are is easier, because healing is an ordeal that challenges our identities;- Getting to the heart of the inquiry of “Why am I doing what I’m doing, here?” and “What do I WANT?”- What it is to lose touch with the young and hungry, eager and determined artist that we used to be and then to find it in a painful retrospective, and to realize it was because we were out there seeking validation, hustling, instead of giving our lives to the work;- Is the conversation to identify the problem, or to critique by creating and move toward solutions?- How do we even TRY and turn the global conversation toward concerted action for positive and universal (planetoid) change?- We manage to sneak some Blade Runner 2049 in there…- Aging and growing older in our culture, which nobody wants to talk about;- A Luke Skywalker-esque critique of now-institutional festival culture;- The Pluto Transit (!!!);- Hungry Ghosts;- Going into the heart of darkness with veterans on ayahuasca and understanding what teamwork can do for psychedelic healing;- His dialogue with ayahuasca about visiting his late sister in the underworld, and how he found his peace with her passing;- Dodging the psychedelic messiah complex;- The astrology of Jesus and Piscean martyrdom;- How study of the archetypes inform our passage through the phases of our lives;- The truth about how being a prophet is a difficult, unappreciated act, not this glamorous role we imagine it to be;- How his film The Plastic People, on Tijuana and the deportation crisis, led to sweeping reforms in Mexico and pissed off countless Trump supporters on Netflix;- The challenges of documenting the secret history of the ibogaine underground;- The futility of protest in the postmodern information warfare landscape;- What Charles thinks was REALLY going on at Standing Rock, and how it’s related to the infiltration and disruption of the Women’s Movement;- How the government collects and processes intelligence on protesters and other political dissidents;- Can you have fun and still effect social change?- How learning the surprising hidden story of his own family changed how Charles thinks about identity and the human condition;- Big Mind Process and listening to the voice of “The Damaged Self”;- And more!––––––––––––––––CHARLES QUOTES:“I thought I was doing the right thing the whole time. I thought I was fighting the good fight. But at some point, you have to ask yourself why you keep ending up in the same situations.”“We are way too liberal with our use of the word ‘insane’ in our culture. Most of what people call insane is just plain suffering. End of story.”“Power is power for a reason. You want to take that shit on firsthand, you’re going to get hurt. A lot of young people don’t realize that.”“Healing’s an ordeal, and that’s the thing: most people check out too early. They actually make a decision on some level to just rather live their lives in dysfunction and unhappiness and keep repeating patterns and cycles rather than go through it, and go through the ordeal… Healing Land requires a stay in Shadow Land. If you want to heal, you gotta go through Shadow Land first.”[With homeless delusional behavior] “The drugs aren’t the problem, it’s the lack of sleep.”“Hoffman tested the acid, Shulgin tested the MDMA, I tested the insanity.”“Even Elon Musk cannot save the world, and frankly, I don’t think he’s a very palatable human being to begin with, but people love him and he’s kind of a sacred cow and you can’t criticism him, but I say ALL these billionaires are shifty and you can’t trust any of them.”“I’m not very good at killing myself. I should probably STOP.”“I don’t have to know how to do it right to know you are doing it wrong.”“Being a prophet means you’re never going to experience the things other people experience in life…it means you’re going to be alone and your whole existence is defined by your alienation from the status quo. But if you can accept it…”“Anybody who thinks there aren’t informants in the Native American community does NOT know the history of the Native American community.”“What is healing all about? So much of it is about accepting shit you can’t control.”“I’m not saying I’m better than anyone. I’m unique. I serve a unique function. And right now my unique function is to try to make the people that are the least understood in our culture more understood. I can do that. And I’ve sacrificed everything – my life, my body, a family, stability, everything – in pursuit of this, now across my fifth platform, the fifth group of despised subcultures. And I’m just going to keep going until we get to all of them. I may put the brakes on when we get to pedophiles – I’m not sure I can make an argument for that – but I study the people that do. Because it’s all about compassion. It is ALL about learning compassion.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
