Podcast appearances and mentions of kris krohn

How much home can you actually qualify for, and how do banks calculate your borrowing power? In this archival episode, Kris Krohn demystifies the mortgage underwriting process by introducing the ".43 rule" for Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratios. He explains how your gross monthly income determines your maximum debt allowance and explores the political winds that could shift property qualifications away from personal finances and onto the real merit and profitability of the investment asset itself.

In this episode, Kris Krohn breaks down the massive, hidden disruption happening inside the walls of American housing: the shift from wood to steel framing. While most people think innovation means smart tech or solar, countries like Australia transitioned decades ago. Kris shares three key ways steel is changing construction—by slashing labor costs, boosting structural resilience against natural disasters, and offering a sustainable solution that aims to save a million mature trees. Learn why this transition represents one of the largest financial and ecological opportunities in modern real estate.

Gold or Real Estate? Investors ask this question constantly. In this classic archival episode, Kris Krohn delivers a fair, simple assessment comparing precious metals to real estate assets.

What is the actual connection between money and human happiness? In this archival episode, Kris Krohn and Carson dive deep into the psychology of wealth, explaining why someone in your household must make a committed effort to master the game of money.

Is it possible to build a home for 10% less and frame it in a single day? Kris Krohn goes toe-to-toe with 30-year veteran builder Chad Brown to investigate a disruptive new framing technology that is upsetting the building industry. They break down the massive cost savings of steel over wood, how a "Xerox machine" for steel frames works, and the high-paying affiliate opportunities available for those helping builders make the switch.

What if you could sit across from 10 of the most successful entrepreneurs alive, ask them one money question, and actually get a straight answer? No fluff, no sales pitch, just the real stuff. That's exactly what I did, and honestly, what came out of it might change the way you think about money forever. This episode is a mashup of some of the most powerful financial wisdom I've ever collected on The Happy Hustle Podcast. Over time, I asked 10 incredible guests two simple questions. What does happy hustling mean to you? And what's your best money hack? We're talking Dr. Myron Golden, John Lee Dumas, Dan Martell, Rory Vaden, Danette May, Garrett Gunderson, Nathan Barry, Kris Krohn, Pat Flynn, and Kiana Danial. Nine figure founders, New York Times bestselling authors, Hall of Fame speakers, and real estate moguls. I pulled all their answers together, distilled them down, and found something I honestly didn't even expect to find. Three clear money patterns that every single one of them follows. Whether you're still grinding through your first income stream or you're already running a business and wondering why the wealth still feels out of reach, this one is going to hit different. The first big lesson that kept showing up was this: stop trading time for money. My brother Myron Golden put it simply. Price your offer by the value of the result, not the hours it takes. Dan Martell added another layer with his buyback rate concept. Figure out what your time is worth per hour, then ruthlessly outsource everything below that number. CKris Krohn brought it home with real estate, reminding us that renters fund landlords and employees fund employers. The point? Your income needs to be detached from your hours. That's the whole game. The second lesson is build once and earn forever. Pat Flynn, Nathan Barry, Rory Vaden, and my girl Danette May all circled around this same idea in their own way. Build an audience. Build a flywheel. Build a personal brand with your reputation as the foundation. Danette laid it out beautifully. One book becomes a course, becomes a coaching program, becomes a product line. Your story is the asset woven through all of it. And as Rory said, reputation precedes revenue. In a world where AI can replicate almost any skill, your name and your story are the one thing that can't be copied. The third lesson is that cash flow is king and identity is queen. Garrett Gunderson said it clearly. Cash flow beats net worth. Invest in assets that pay you monthly. Kiana Danial backed this up with a deceptively simple move, dollar cost averaging into the market every single month without fail. The reason most people aren't building wealth isn't a lack of access. It's a lack of consistency. Buy, hold, repeat. Here's what I want you to walk away with. Five moves you can make right now. Calculate your buyback rate, which is your annual income divided by roughly 2000 hours, then stop spending time on anything below that number. Reprice at least one offer based on the value it delivers, not the hours it took you. Add one cash flowing asset this quarter, whether that's real estate, dividend stocks, or a digital product. Pick one platform, show up weekly for 90 days straight, no exceptions, and start building that audience flywheel. And start dollar cost averaging today, even if it's just a hundred bucks a month into an index fund. The automation takes the emotion out of it completely.
