BiggerPockets Money Podcast

Want to be a millionaire or build a business that brings in seven figures? Want generational wealth and to be debt-free? Want to know that you have enough money to take big risks while still keeping your bank account safe? If so, you need to start thinking like the rich to begin building wealth the same way they do. “That may be easy for you to say, you host the BiggerPockets Money Podcast!” Well, don't take it from us; take it from Marc Russell. Marc grew up without advantages. He was in foster care for as long as he could remember, bouncing from house to house until finally, at age thirteen, he was adopted by parents with a strong, valuable work ethic. When Marc went to college, he had no money to pay for it, so he fought tooth and nail with the financial aid office to find scholarships, loans, or anything that could help him graduate. He was even kicked out of school once over not being able to pay a $900 fee! But this taught Marc how the system worked and eventually led to him landing a job at every FIRE chaser's favorite place, Vanguard! Once Marc started helping the rich manage their money, he looked in the mirror and asked, “Why aren't I doing these things?” Thus, he began imitating the investing tactics of the rich, budgeting for financial freedom, and investing everything he could, even if it meant a slower path to being debt-free. Now, Marc runs BetterWallet, helping everyday people start building generational wealth, no matter their circumstances. In This Episode We Cover How to copy the rich so you can build wealth no matter your upbringing Student debt, side hustles, and how to make it through college with little money Why you MUST save a large emergency reserve before you start working for yourself Investing vs. paying off debt and why the unconventional choice may be the best one Budgeting for your business and ensuring you have enough money before leaving your W2 And So Much More!

One of the things that we're always taught in business school, operations management, or really in any field, is how to build efficiency in your business. And while I'm a big fan of creating optimal operations in your business, I think we can become too efficient at the cost of effectiveness in multiple different areas. I see it in two major ways with many business owners right now. Tune in to hear about the things I've avoided automating in my business, things others have automated in their business, and how these efficiencies can affect your business and your brand.   What you'll hear in this episode: [1:25] Shannon's thoughts on effectiveness vs efficiency in business.

Dee's story: How to Hire Your Kids

The BetterWallet

Hey, do you have young kids who are eager to earn an allowance? Did you know that there are other ways for your kids to earn money, whether that be investment options or straight cash flow? Do you have a business or paying side hustle? Did you know you can hire your kid to help you? Are you ready to help your child create a healthy relationship with their finances? All of this, and more, only on the BetterWallet podcast with Marc Russell. It is never too soon to begin familiarizing your kids with the basics of financial stewardship. Let's dive in and learn some ways that parents can help set their kids set themselves up for the future. In this episode of the Better Wallet, Marc sits down with Dee to discuss how you can hire your kids. Dee is a Finance Instructor and CPA (Certified Public Accountant) at UCLA and the founder of Kids Money Academy. She helps parents and children learn money-smart habits and methods. As a mother herself, Dee understands how important it is to help set her child up for financial success. We are excited to have Dee here to share some of her knowledge with us. When you work hard for your money, you want to ensure it's going to the right places. And when you have kids, they want your money too. But how can we help our kids earn and save money while also helping to teach them some valuable skills? The answer is simple, let's hire our kids! Hiring your kids can sound strange, but it's way cooler than it sounds. We aren't just putting our kids to work; we are teaching them habits that they can use to become financially independent. "You don't want to be in the driver's seat as a parent; they are in the driver's seat." Says Dee regarding allowing your children to choose how they will distribute their hard-earned earnings. "You want to be a lighthouse parent, which is you give the light you tell them where to go, how to go. But they are in the driver's seat." Dee reminds us that we can guide our children, but it's also crucial to empower them to make their own decisions.  One way to guide your children is to hire them. But why would you want to hire them? Well, it can be beneficial to both you and your child. You and your child can invest up to $12,500 in tax-free money. Whoa! Sounds cool, right? But hold up because if you are looking to do that, there are some things you need to know first.  If you have a side hustle or a business, you can hire your child to help you complete some of your many business-related tasks. But be careful because child labor laws do apply. Your child cannot be involved in anything dangerous and can't work too many hours. The assignment also must be a real business-related job, such as photography or modeling for an Instagram page. Sorry parents, washing dishes does not count. "So, my job as a parent is to create opportunities for them, not like give them everything they want," Dee says. Create opportunities for your child that they can learn and earn from. Make sure you keep a paper trail as well. You can pay your child for each individual task they complete. It's a good way for your child to make money and an excellent way for you to spread some of your own hard-earned wealth.Click here to connect with Marc, learn about investing or money-saving tips, or help your kids and check out Kids Money Academy by visiting here.

Hey there, couples. Do you have financial goals? Are those goals similar? How are you stewarding those goals? Would you say that you and your significant other share the same vision for the future? How do you approach money in your relationship, and who makes the bulk of the decisions when it comes to money?  Welcome back to another episode of The BetterWallet podcast with Marc Russell. Whether you are married, in a relationship, or thinking about getting married, you may want to tune in for this one. This episode is about your relationship with money as a couple. In this episode, Marc is joined by Angie and RJ of Rich By Intention, a brand the couple created to help share their financial experiences and wisdom with other couples just like you. They're here to help others become rich in marriage, rich in purpose, and rich in life.  Marc asks a lot of great questions in this episode, and Angie and RJ deliver some excellent insights. Speaking from their own experience, Angie and RJ tell us that couples should start a conversation about money early on in their relationship. They also share with us the simple truth that who we are with can really "make or break our vision." Couples should have similar or shared goals or at the very least be on the same page with one another. It is proposed that couples begin discussing their finances sooner and getting a plan together before they get married.  Couples should also remember that money is a shared tool, especially in marriage or partnership.  So what about if you're a couple that is trying to get on the same page financially? How can you develop good money habits, pay off debt and live financially free? And what's the best way to get started? Both Angie and RJ agree that a budget should be your first step in your financial journey. RJ and Angie successfully paid down 123,000 in debt; one year after getting married. Whoa! Anything really is possible with the right attitude, mindset, and amount of work you are willing to put in.  Are you looking to get going?  Here are a few insights to help get you started.  "So, like, what key tips do you have in trying to get your budget together?" Asks Marc. Angie says, "I would say the first thing before you even create a budget, you need to review your spending." Start by making minor adjustments to your lifestyle and seeing where you can cut corners and save money. Then create a budget to track your spending.  "And I always say to people, like every successful business has a budget. So you should treat your money, just like one," says RJ. "And it does not restrict you, right? It gives you choices, options. Treat it like a business." It takes a lot of time and a lot of work, but couples can generate wealth and pay off their debt in no time. Couples can create a healthy relationship with money by making minor adjustments, increasing their income, networking with others, and creating habits and mindset tweaking. Sometimes, it's also about having a willingness to have tough conversations with one another. No matter what stage of a relationship you're in, whether that's marriage, partnership, or simply dating, you're encouraged to start talking about money today. If you are a couple looking to create a life that is "rich by intention," please visit to connect with Angie and RJ.

Are you a couple who is looking to get started paying down debt and live life financially free? Are you looking to make money outside of your 9-5 job? Are you searching for a better system of accountability and goal tracking? Do you need life insurance? Step right up and listen to the latest episode of The Better Wallet podcast, hosted by Marc Russell.Marc Russell is a money management coach who helps others budget their money, pay down debt, and generate wealth. The BetterWallet podcast introduces us to other entrepreneurs, such as Marc, that share similar visions and ways of building wealth. And today's guest, Leo Jean-Louis, is sure to get a lot of couples excited about their futures. Leo is a friend of Marc Russell and a fellow money management coach. Leo and his wife, Faith, are the founders of the Freedom Is A Choice Movement. Today, Leo is going to answer some very important questions for couples looking for ways to pay down debt. You won't want to miss this. Leo and Faith come from very different backgrounds. Leo's mother worked around the clock just to make ends meet. This instilled some strong values in Leo, who started working during high school. On the other hand, Faith was fortunate enough to have parents who had built wealth, which allowed her to shift her focus towards other things such as education. Leo and Faith had two very different viewpoints towards money. Naturally, when they met, these views clashed. They were forced to answer the question many couples have, "How can we work as a team to pay off our debts, manage our money, raise our kids and build a life of wealth?"  Chances are, you don't want to work for the rest of your life, and neither does Leo or Marc. Leo explains some key habits and ideas that couples or anyone else can adopt to help live a debt-free life. Leo says, "The choices that we make today will determine the life that you live tomorrow." Leo reveals that couples should establish a goal first and then let the goal dictate the habits. Make the goal fun and exciting, and remember to hold each other accountable. Develop a system to keep track of your progress and give each other feedback. But also be sure not to deprive yourself of something that brings you joy. Celebrate the small wins too!  Also, make sure you get a life insurance plan. When it comes to life insurance, many misconceptions are out there. Most couples wait to get a decent life insurance plan and potentially deny themselves of much-needed assets. Talk with your spouse, and get a plan that can quadruple your income in the event of your passing. You don't want your spouse or your children to struggle with not only your loss but also massive amounts of debt.  So, how can YOU take that next step towards financial freedom? Here is one key takeaway from Leo, "I would say, don't start with the numbers. Tell them the start with their why. So, establish their why, their reason for pursuing debt freedom, their reason for pursuing financial freedom." Don't wait to start your journey to financial freedom. Use your why, and get started today! Connect with Marc or Leo and let them help you take your next step towards wealth.

In the latest episode of The Better Wallet podcast, Marc is joined by his good friend and fellow investor, Dion Boyd. Like Marc, Dion is here to share his story of financial independence and discuss some investing tips to help others build wealth. Dion's story is a unique and inspiring one. You won't want to miss out on this episode.  Dion comes to us from the south side of Chicago, a place where he also grew up. His dad was a police officer, and his mom was a nurse. Together, they put a lot of pressure on Dion to do his homework, get good grades and do well at school. After graduating from one of the best private schools in all of Chicago, Dion set his sights on getting into college. Dion was able to get a posse scholarship to help pay for a considerable part of his tuition. The posse scholarship is a program dedicated to helping inner-city youth transition into some of the country's best colleges. Dion graduated from college and received an internship with Bank of America. It was here that his bosses pushed him to be the very best he could be and learned about this thing called investment banking. What Dion realized about investment banking was that the earnings potential was massive, and it had a very high ceiling for success. Dion quickly jumped on board, learned what he needed to know, and became passionate about investing. As a young man with no kids, no marriage, and no major expenses, Dion was able to invest most of his money into paying off his student loans and making clever investment selections. Dion's story may resonate with most of us. I'm sure we all look at someone who is successful and say, "there has to be a secret to it." Well, no secrets here. Just a lot of hard work, discipline, and motivation. Dion's story is inspirational, going from inner-city life to the mountaintop of investment banking. You can do it too: "I hear a lot of people saying, I wish or dream of you know, these words. I'm like, yeah, like wish, but you know, do everything you need to do every single day to get yourself closer to that goal. And you went from the south side of Chicago to investment banking, like you know, it all too well." -Marc Russell. You have to check out this episode. Marc and Dion dissect a lot of information and make sense of the world of investment banking. You'll want to catch this episode and many more like this one from The Better Wallet podcast.

Dee Snider gets real about his ups and downs, starting over after being on top of the music industry. He is authentic and honest about what it was like losing it all and how he rose from the ashes! Twisted Sister is an American heavy metal band from New York City. Their work fuses the shock tactics of Alice Cooper, the rebellious mood of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and the extravagant image of glam rock bands such as New York Dolls notably for the makeup. Musically, the band implements elements of traditional heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, along with a style that is similar to early glam metal bands. The band is generally categorized as glam metal for their earlier work, although the band does not consider themselves to be so. Although the band was formed by guitarist Jay Jay French in December 1972, all of their songs were written by Dee Snider from 1976 onward. Snider remarked to Johnny Carson that the proposed name for the band was “This” but was rejected for fear of fans saying “This sucks”. He describes Twisted Sister as “Slade meets Sex Pistols”. Twisted Sister's most well-known hits include “We're Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock”, both popularized in the USA by regular airplay on MTV in the 1980s. Many of the band's songs explore themes of parent vs. child conflicts and criticisms of the educational system. “I don't think Twisted Sister is “glam” because that implies glamor, and we're not glamorous. We should be called “Hid” because we're hideous.” Dee Snider, ‘Interview with Twisted Sister' Picture disc. “When Twisted Sister exploded internationally few people realized that they were an overnight sensation that had been ten years in the making.” From the back cover blurb for “Twisted Sister – The First Official Book! Unreleased 1990 studio album by this hard rock/metal supergroup featuring Dee Snider (Twisted Sister), Clive Burr (Iron Maiden), Bernie Torme (Gillan/Ozzy) and Marc Russell. This band was poised for success until the Grunge scene came along and their label decided not to release it due to the changing musical climate. 11 tracks including ‘Hang ‘Em High', ‘Calling For You' and ‘Emaheevull'. Of all the projects Dee Snider has been involved in over the years, the one shrouded in the most mystery was undoubtedly Desperado. First mentioned in heavy metal magazines circa the late '80s, the group appeared to be a promising proposition, as it saw Snider team up with a pair of gentlemen renowned in the metal community — ex-Ian Gillan and Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Bernie Tormé and ex-Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr — with bassist Marc Russell rounding out the quartet. The group had an album ready and raring to go (going as far as having a release date set for May of 1990, and an album title of Bloodied, But Unbowed), but at the 11th hour, the debut was shelved, and the group soon after went the way of the dodo. The album, now under its original title, Ace, has finally seen the light of day 16 years later via the Deadline/Cleopatra label. Upon hearing the music, it quickly becomes apparent that Snider made a conscious effort to eschew the anthemic rock of Twisted Sister in favor of more straight-ahead metal, as evidenced by such tracks as “Gone Bad” and “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter.” But it appears that Ace would have fit in more with the metal landscape a few years earlier than its projected original release date (an era that saw metal's old guard quickly losing their standing to such bands as Jane's Addiction, Soundgarden, and Faith No More, with Nirvana waiting on deck). Regardless, the music on Ace is just as worthy as the majority of stuff that was being spun on Headbangers Ball and featured in Rip magazine from around that time. In 1991. Dee fights back by forming his most brutal band yet, Widowmaker. Along with Desperado bassist Mark Russel, Dee enlisted the sonic battle-skills of guitar maestro Al Pitrelli (formerly with Alice Cooper) and drummer Joey Franco (who played on Twisted's last album). With mainstream gone “alternative,” Widowmaker has kept to the independent route to avoid being forced to compromise their artistic vision. Even with poor distribution and virtually no promotion or air-play, they've still forged out a dedicated fan-base of modern rockers. We wanna ROCK!
