Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!Career Reinvention, Retirement and Building a Richer Life with Hannah MartinWhat does it really mean to prepare for retirement? For many women, especially mid-career professionals, retirement planning is often reduced to one question: “Will I have enough money?” Yet, as Hannah Martin explains in this thoughtful conversation, a fulfilling later life requires more than financial security. It also calls for purpose, community, health, independence and a clear sense of what comes next.In episode 282 of Your Career Podcast, Jane Jackson reconnects with Hannah Martin, founder of Talented Ladies Club and Rich Retiree, seven years after their last conversation. Hannah and I chatted in episodes 19 and 101. Hannah shares how her work supporting ambitious mothers returning to the workforce evolved into a new mission: helping women prepare for retirement in a way that is practical, empowering and deeply human.Jane and Hannah discuss the unique career and financial challenges many women face, including career breaks, lower pension or superannuation balances, caring responsibilities, and the implications of, unfortunately, a divorce. Confidence dips after time out of the workforce, and the long-term impact of the gender pay gap.They also explore why career reinvention does not stop at midlife. Whether you are facing redundancy, considering a career change, preparing for retirement, or wondering how to create more meaning in your next chapter, this conversation offers a reassuring reminder that it is never too late to make considered, confident choices.In this episode, we discuss:Why retirement planning must go beyond moneyThe four pillars of a rich retirement: finance, health, community and purposeHow career breaks can affect confidence, savings and long-term financial independenceWhy women often face different retirement challenges from menThe importance of community, contribution and meaningful activity as we ageHow mid-career professionals can begin planning their next chapter before they are forced toWhy career clarity matters at every stage of lifeHow cultural attitudes towards ageing can affect confidence, wellbeing and possibilityThe value of wisdom, lived experience and intergenerational connectionKey takeawayA rich retirement is not only about what you have saved. It is also about the life you are building.For mid-career professionals, this episode is a timely reminder to pause, reflect and ask: “What do I want the next chapter of my life and career to feel like?” Whether you are navigating redundancy, exploring a career change, rebuilding confidence, or preparing for a new stage of life, clarity is the first step towards making wise and grounded decisions.Resource mentioned:YouTube video when Jane visited Hannah in Worthing, UK - showing how genuine networking turns into genuine connections, taking the online connection offline to meet in person.  Watch here: https://youtu.be/hN_dAzQ30uo?si=PxSphzC7KI_psFsE About Hannah MartinHannah Martin is the founder of Talented Ladies Club, created in 2013 to support ambitious mothers returning to work and building careers or businesses that fit their lives.

You're making more money than you ever have. Your net worth on paper looks great. And yet somehow, there's still too much month left at the end of the money. Joe, OG, Paula Pant, and Jesse Cramer dig into why high earners feel financially squeezed -- and why the answer is almost never what you think it is. Spoiler: it's usually not the lattes, it's not too many accounts, and it might not even be a spending problem at all.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy lifestyle inflation doesn't feel like inflation -- it feels like deserved progress, and why that's exactly what makes it so hard to catchThe crucial difference between feeling like you didn't save enough and actually not saving enough -- and why OG's take on this is the most useful thing in the episodePaula's one big fixed cost audit: why making a single large decision beats constantly making small DoorDash decisionsWhy tracking your spending is the calorie counting of personal finance -- only useful short-term, but powerful for getting an honest snapshot before you make any changesThe paper wealth trap: why a high net worth and strong portfolio can coexist with genuinely tight monthly cashflow and why people conflate themJesse's one-line-item challenge: find one thing on last month's credit card statement you wish you hadn't spent, cut it, and see what happens to your motivationWhy OG's advice to "just decide not to feel squeezed anymore" is less dismissive than it sounds -- and the number of times the actual math completely contradicted a client's feelingsThe boats conversation: why a good financial advisor's job isn't to tell you whether to buy the boat but to show you what it costs in terms of your actual goalsWhy comparing your savings rate to the FIRE community can make you feel terrible about saving an objectively impressive amount of moneyThe goal clarity test: if you can't articulate what you're saving toward in specific, time-bound, dollar-denominated terms, the squeezed feeling probably has nothing to do with your budgetWhy This Matters NowHousing, food, and transportation costs are genuinely higher. That part is real. But for a meaningful chunk of the people who feel financially squeezed, the math and the feeling are pointing in different directions. This episode is about figuring out which one you're actually dealing with -- and what to do differently once you know.From the BasementJoe, OG, Paula Pant, and Jesse Cramer work through the Wall Street Journal's reporting on why so many Americans feel financially squeezed even at high income levels -- and whether the problem is real, psychological, or both. OG is recording from a conference adjacent to Disney World and has opinions about wood delivery, boats, and people who feel bad about saving $87,000 a year. Paula gets the giggles. The trivia competition features a man who mowed Steve Wozniak's lawn and had the license plate to prove it. OG wins with suspicious precision. Ronald Wayne, who sold his 10% of Apple for $800 twelve days after founding the company, has a worse story than anyone on this podcast.Resources MentionedFinancial Samurai -- referenced for the lifestyle inflation quote; financialsamurai.comAfford Anything podcast -- Paula Pant; Joe joins most Tuesdays for listener Q&APersonal Finance for Long-Term Investors -- Jesse Cramer; current series: 14 risks in retirement, Charlie Munger inversion framework; two-part series now completeStacking Benjamins Vault -- stackingbenjamins.com/vaultStacking Benjamins Newsletter (The 201) -- stackingbenjamins.com/201OG financial planning calendar -- stackingbenjamins.com/ogStacking Benjamins Community -- stackingbenjamins.com/basementSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode of The UK Flooring Podcast is a straight-talking reminder that most flooring businesses are already sitting on untapped profit, and it is not always about chasing more leads.Tom breaks down why so much money gets left on the table through old customer databases, lazy pricing habits, forgotten consumables, missed upsells, and poor follow-up.

Sometimes you need to make better use of the customers, jobs and opportunities already in front of you.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How your existing customer email list could become one of your most valuable marketing assetsWhy previous customers are often the easiest people to sell to againHow regular newsletters can keep your business memorable without being pushyWhy guessing your prices is costing you moneyThe importance of checking material costs, consumables, door bars, screed, DPM, staples and other small items properlyHow better pricing alone can improve profit without winning more jobsWhy upsells should be presented as helpful options, not pushy sales tacticsHow to offer upgrades on underlay, waste disposal, door bars, borders, stair bindings, finishes and faster turnaround timesWhy follow-up, Christmas cards, CRM systems and maintenance reminders can keep you front of mindMemorable Quote:“You don't always need more customers.

In this episode, I'm diving into one of the biggest mindset and growth hurdles business owners face: hiring before you feel completely ready. I'm sharing the real signs that it's time to outsource, what tasks you should stop doing first, and how hiring can actually become a profit decision instead of an expense. We talk through the fears that keep so many entrepreneurs stuck, from worrying no one will do it like you to wondering if you'll consistently be able to pay someone.Topics covered in this episode include:The hidden sign that proves you may already be overdue for helpWhy “doing it yourself” could actually be costing you moneyThe surprising first hire that changed everything for meHow to know which tasks you should stop touching immediatelyI would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JenTaylorConsulting/ & Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jentaylorconsulting/!Resources Mentioned:Small Business Task Appendix: www.jentaylorconsulting.com/worksheets/small-business-task/ Show notes available at: https://jentaylorconsulting.com/design-your-wedding-business-podcast/

Send us Fan MailJames Ashford sold GoProposal to Sage for an eight-figure sum. People hear that and picture a clean line from idea to payday. It took him two decades, several businesses that died along the way, and one moment where he couldn't afford the fee to shut a company down.He started as a wedding magician, walking straight up to the rowdiest table in the room on purpose. What he learned there became the thing every later business ran on. The failures came too: an agency he loved, gone over a single decision. A marriage under strain. A debt a friend had to cover for him.Then a mentor asked him one blunt question, and the answer changed how he built everything after.The part people don't see coming is what the exit actually did to him. The win arrived, and so did something he hadn't planned for. He talks about it more honestly here than most founders ever will, including the redefinition of "wealth" he landed on at the end, which is not the one he set out chasing.If you're building something you hope to sell, or you already have and it feels stranger than you expected, this one's worth your time.What Alan and James get into:Why he targeted the worst table in the room, every timeThe agency that went under from one bad call, and what it cost him beyond moneyThe liquidation he couldn't pay for himselfA million-pound cheque pinned to a bedroom ceiling years before it meant anythingThe mentor question that rearranged his whole approachHow he picked who would buy his company long before they knew they wouldThe second Range Rover he ordered and sent straight backThe thing nobody warns you about on the other side of an exitThe definition of "true wealth" he arrived at, and how late it cameConnect with JamesWebsite: https://jamesashford.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesashford/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejamesashfordTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fireproofjamesJames's bookSelling to ServeOther Book Recommendations:Building a StoryBrand by Donald MillerThe E-Myth Revisited by Michael GerberThe Psychology of Money by Morgan HouselRich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert KiyosakiThe Richest Man in Babylon by George S.

The five highest global uncertainty readings since the 1980s have all occurred in the last five years. And yet the answer Wall Street keeps selling -- products that promise upside without downside -- is mathematically impossible and provably underperforms over time. Simone Stolzoff, author of How to Not Know, spent years studying how people, companies, and investors navigate uncertainty well. His findings are the opposite of what the financial industry is selling you right now.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy our tolerance for uncertainty is declining -- and the specific role smartphones and real-time data have played in making investors more anxious and worse at decision-makingThe anchor framework: how certainty in some areas of your life makes it dramatically easier to hold uncertainty in others -- and what that means for how you build a financial planThe Slack origin story -- how a gaming company at the peak of its success chose to shut down and pivot into the unknown, and what that teaches about staying open to what might emergeWhy Warren Buffett and the best venture capitalists actively seek uncertainty -- and how confusion between uncertainty and danger costs most investors real moneyThe kill criteria concept borrowed from mountain climbing -- and how pre-committing to rules before the emotion hits is the only reliable way to prevent catastrophic decisionsOne-way doors versus two-way doors: the Jeff Bezos framework for knowing when to agonize over a decision and when to just actWhy buffer ETFs are mathematically required to underperform broad index funds over time -- and the one question that exposes every "downside protection" pitch instantlyOG's case for looking at your portfolio as rarely as possible -- and the surprising thing that happened when he checked his mortgage balance after months awayWhy building a financial plan around your actual goals makes the daily market headlines genuinely irrelevant -- not as a coping strategy, but as a logical outcomeKathy's story: what a special education teacher who maxed her Roth IRA every year from 1998 to 2024 has in her account todayWhy This Matters NowMarkets will always be uncertain. Headlines will always be alarming. The question isn't how to make that stop -- it's how to build a life and a plan sturdy enough that it doesn't matter. This episode is the clearest case we've made for why your financial plan is more important than your portfolio, and why the two are not the same thing.From the BasementSimone Stolzoff joins Joe and OG to unpack the psychology of uncertainty -- including a couple who took a year apart to figure out if they wanted to stay married, a software engineer who programmed an app to make all his life decisions, and the monk who said not knowing is the most intimate thing of all. The Investment News headline about clients wanting "headline-proof portfolios" gives OG a full platform to explain why buffer ETFs are a product designed for the advisor's book of business, not your retirement. Doug arrives with Wild Bill Hickok trivia. Kathy from the community sends a note that should be required reading for every Gen X stacker who thinks they're behind.Resources MentionedHow to Not Know: The Value of Uncertainty in a World That Demands Answers by Simone Stolzoff -- available wherever books are sold; early readers receive an invitation to an exclusive event with Michael LewisSimone Stolzoff -- simonestolzoff.comInvestment News -- "Advisors say more clients are seeking to headline-proof their portfolios" by Greg Greenberg; linked at stackingbenjamins.comStacking Benjamins Episode 1840 -- "Why 67% of Americans Fear Running Out of Money More Than Dying"; stackingbenjamins.comStacking Benjamins Vault -- stackingbenjamins.com/vaultStacking Benjamins Newsletter (The 201) -- stackingbenjamins.com/201Stacking Benjamins Community -- stackingbenjamins.com/basementSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What separates a chaotic company from a scalable empire?In this episode of The M&A Guy, Brian Franco sits down with entrepreneur, sales titan, and Lightspeed VT founder Brad Lea for a raw conversation on what founders consistently get wrong about growth, leadership, training, and exit readiness.Brad breaks down:Why most companies are “scaling chaos”The hidden reason businesses fail to scaleHow smart money beats just moneyThe real value of systems, SOPs, and transferable IPWhy founders become bottlenecksThe costly mistakes entrepreneurs make before sellingHow training directly impacts valuationWhat private equity actually looks for in acquisition?This is not theory.It's decades of hard-earned lessons from two operators who've seen thousands of businesses from the inside.If you're building, scaling, raising capital, or planning an eventual exit — this episode is a masterclass.Featuring:Brad Lea, Founder of Lightspeed VTBrian Franco, Founder & CEO of Meritage Partners and author of The Inevitable Exit

What's up! This episode is a collection of free-flowing thoughts straight from my mind — unfiltered, reflective.I'm talking about what it means to be multifaceted in a world that constantly tries to convince people they have to choose one version of themselves. I open up about why I'm able to deeply grasp, connect with, and genuinely love so many different things, and why I no longer see that as something I need to shrink or explain away.I also dive into what wealth really means to me. Because being wealthy isn't just about money. I've realized fulfillment comes from balance — financial stability, physical health, and genuine community. I see it as a triangle: when one side is missing, life can begin to feel incomplete no matter how successful things may look from the outside.In this episode, I talk about:Being multifaceted without guiltThe beauty of curiosity and depthWhy people feel pressured to fit into one boxRedefining success beyond moneyThe importance of community and connectionHow physical health impacts fulfillmentWhy imbalance can leave life feeling emptyCreating a life that feels whole instead of performativeA reflective and honest start to a new season.So lets get into it.

Money is something we all deal with every single day. Yet almost no one is ever taught how to manage it.In this episode of Business by the Bay, Ajay sits down with money coach Crystal Rigley Janis for a refreshingly honest conversation about why so many people, regardless of income, feel overwhelmed, stressed, and stuck when it comes to money. What makes this conversation powerful is how real it gets.Crystal shares her journey from working in wealth management to becoming a high school teacher, and eventually building a mission around helping people transform their relationship with money. Along the way, she highlights a truth most of us experience but rarely talk about: You can make good money, and still feel completely lost.What You'll LearnWhy people feel anxious and overwhelmed about moneyThe emotional side of finances (stress, shame, identity)Why even high earners can live paycheck to paycheckThe difference between looking “rich” and actually building wealthWhy budgeting feels difficult and how to make it workHow defining your dreams changes your financial decisionsMoney is not the goal. It's a tool.Most people don't struggle because they don't earn enough. They struggle because they were never taught the skill of managing money. And like any skill, it can be learned.Anyone who feels like their money disappears every monthProfessionals earning well but not building wealthPeople who have tried budgeting but couldn't stick with itAnyone looking for clarity, control, and confidence with moneyCrystal Rigley Janis is a money coach and founder of Dreamz on Fire.

Thirty years ago Beth Kobliner wrote the book that a generation of financial planners handed to their clients' kids. The core advice still holds. But the world around it has changed dramatically -- frictionless spending, gambling apps disguised as investment platforms, and a housing market where the average first-time buyer is now 40. Beth comes back to the basement with an updated edition of Get a Financial Life and a clear-eyed take on what's harder now, what's easier, and what was always just common sense.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy the shift to invisible, frictionless money has made spending harder to track -- and the two-week experiment that fixes it without turning into a second jobThe yours, mine, and ours account system for couples where one person saves and one person spends -- and why autonomy is the key to avoiding money resentmentWhy putting a price tag on your goals changes your spending behavior more than any budget ever willThe biggest mistake first-time home buyers make right now -- and the math on why a 10% down payment often beats waiting for 20%Used versus new car: the $20,000 gap that makes the decision simple -- and the negotiation script that puts you in control at the dealershipStudent loan reality check for 2026 -- what's changing by July, where to run the numbers, and who qualifies for public service loan forgiveness now that it's actually workingWhy paying off a 22% credit card is mathematically equivalent to earning 22% guaranteed -- and what that means for how you prioritize your moneyThe gambling platform statistic that should alarm every parent of a 20-something: 25% of Gen Z and millennials consider online gambling an investmentThe annuity conversation most advisors won't have honestly -- what they're actually selling, what the fees really cover, and the two use cases where they might actually make senseWhy an annuity inside an IRA is, in OG's words, an abomination -- and the three questions to ask before signing anythingWhy This Matters NowWhether you're in your 40s and wishing you'd read this at 22, or you're handing it to someone who just graduated, the fundamentals Beth laid out three decades ago are still the fastest path to financial stability. What's changed is the noise around them -- and the sophistication of the products and platforms designed to get in the way.From the BasementBeth Kobliner joins Joe and OG to walk through the 30th anniversary edition of Get a Financial Life -- covering homes, cars, student loans, debt, and the new financial traps that didn't exist in 1996. The headline segment digs into a CNBC piece on why retirees are thinking about annuities wrong, which turns into one of the more honest annuity conversations the basement has had. Doug arrives with Spice Girls trivia that everyone over 35 finds embarrassingly easy. The meatloaf debate breaks out at the end and resolves nothing.Resources MentionedGet a Financial Life by Beth Kobliner -- 30th anniversary edition available wherever books are soldBeth Kobliner -- bethkobliner.comstudentaid.gov -- loan simulator and repayment plan optionsEdmunds and Kelley Blue Book -- invoice price research before car negotiations; edmunds.com, kbb.comCARFAX -- used car history reports; carfax.comCarvana, Autotrader, CarGurus -- used car shopping platformsCNBC annuities article by Greg Iacurci -- linked at stackingbenjamins.comJP Morgan Guide to the Markets -- referenced in discussion; search "JP Morgan Guide to the Markets"Stacking Benjamins Newsletter (The 201) -- stackingbenjamins.com/201Stacking Benjamins Vault -- stackingbenjamins.com/vaultStacking Benjamins Meetups -- stackingbenjamins.com/meetupStacking Benjamins Community -- stackingbenjamins.com/basementSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” — Viktor FranklSome conversations don't just teach you something…they change how you see everything.In this episode, Jay sits down with Rob McCord—a venture capitalist, entrepreneur, public servant, and now a voice in resilience and post-traumatic growth.But this isn't a highlight reel.This is a real conversation about success, failure, identity, and what it actually takes to rebuild your life when everything changes.Rob shares a journey that spans elite institutions, political power, venture capital success—and devastating personal and professional adversity. And through it all, one theme emerges:You always have a choice in how you respond.Inside this episode:Why entrepreneurship is about solving real problems—not chasing moneyThe traits that actually define successful entrepreneurs (and what most get wrong)The difference between plans that work and the discipline of planning that always mattersHow adversity reshapes identity—and what it reveals about what we take for grantedThe truth about labels, reputation, and how quickly perception can change What resilience really means (and why it's not about “bouncing back”)How to turn pain into purpose—without pretending it was ever “worth it”Why being of service to others is the most reliable path to a meaningful lifeRob also gives practical, grounded tools for anyone facing a difficult season:Find people you can be vulnerable withKeep a daily gratitude journal (specific moments, not generalities)Commit to learning something new—especially when life feels heavyThis episode doesn't offer easy answers.It offers something better: perspective.Because resilience isn't about avoiding hardship—it's about learning how to live, lead, and serve through it.

Most powersports dealers have some form of reinsurance in place. Most of them have no idea what is actually in it.Gene Silas has been in the industry for over 30 years. Jeff Barron has been at it for 26. Together they run Brightline Dealer Advisors, one of the largest broker firms in the United States and they spend their days helping dealers understand what they actually own in their F&I back end and how much of it is quietly walking out the door in fees they have never seen.They recently did a webinar with the NPDA that generated a ton of questions. So I brought them on here to go even deeper for our audience.What we cover:Why most dealers look at only one number on their reinsurance statement and miss everything elseThe walkaway, retro, CFC, and DOWC structures explained in plain English — and how to know which one fits youProducts that can go into reinsurance: service contracts, tire and wheel, paint and fabric, GAP, and ancillariesWhy GAP should usually be kept separate from your service contract reinsurance positionThe hidden fee problem: ceding fees, loss adjustment expense, and premium tax that come off the dealer's bottom line before they ever see the moneyThe side-by-side comparison that could be costing dealers $50,000 to $60,000 a year depending on volumeWhy all fees should be visible in the admin fee and what "below the line fees" actually meansThe A account vs the B account in plain English — and why moving money to the B account as fast as possible mattersHow dealers can borrow against their own B account money and pay the interest back to themselves instead of a bankCapital gains vs ordinary income: the tax difference that can mean 18 to 20 points on millions of dollarsThe risk triangle: why reinsurance is not a set it and forget it situationEarly claims and multiple cause of loss: what it looks like when a service contract is being used as a recon toolThe disappearing deductible strategy that keeps customers coming back to your service bay and protects your bookWhy you need claim override controls and exactly who should have themThe nine questions every dealer should be asking their current reinsurance providerGene's AI tip: how to use ChatGPT or Claude to find every fee buried in your dealer agreement in minutesWhat a real advisory partner looks like vs someone just managing their own book through youGene's FTC prediction: powersports dealers have 12 months or less before enforcement starts — and what to do about it nowThe $54,000 per violation reality and why 97 automotive dealers have already faced itWatch on YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit?si=xGw636a89UUDAK20⁠Connect with Gene Silas (Brightline): ⁠gsilas@brightlinedealer.com⁠Connect with Jeff Barron (Brightline): ⁠jbarron@brightlinedealer.com⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry⁠Follow the Fixit Online: ⁠https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixit⁠MotoHunt for Dealers: ⁠https://dealers.motohunt.com⁠

Money can be such a sensitive, emotionally charged topic. It impacts our relationships, plays a key role in our businesses, and shows up in the tiny details of our daily lives. No matter what your current relationship with money is, there's often much more beneath the surface shaping it than you may realize.In this episode, I'm joined by money coach Hanna Bier, who works with ambitious, creative women to redesign their relationship with money and become more open to receiving it.

If you're constantly feeling pressure, scarcity, or uncertainty in your relationship with money, this conversation offers simple reframes and ideas to bring more peace as you move toward financial freedom.Many women are incredibly capable in every area of life, yet still feel stuck or frustrated when it comes to money. Not because they aren't smart or driven, but because of the emotional patterns, beliefs, and past experiences shaping how they relate to it. When you begin to understand that, you can start to shift how you see money and build a relationship that feels more supportive.You have a choice in how you feel and behave with money. When you begin making small changes that align with the life you want, it can make all the difference. I can't wait for you to hear how that's possible. Let's get started!What you'll learn:How money goes all the way to the core of who we are beyond numbers and investmentsThree ways strained relationships with money show up based on early experiences with loveA shift you can make around the thought “I want more” to ease your relationship with moneyThe difference between being a great earner and becoming someone who actually has moneyWhy allowing yourself to receive is essential to creating financial freedom for womenYou can read the full show notes here.About Hanna BierHanna Bier teaches the art of making money with elegance, excellence, and ease.

On her way to becoming a corporate fashion girlie, Hanna switched careers and found her true calling: helping women discover the power of financial mastery. Hanna believes that a woman isn't truly free until she's deeply secure with money. Through her work, she invites you to become unrecognizable. To create your own luck.

Most couples have had the same money argument dozens of times without ever having the real conversation underneath it. Research shows that 58% of Australian couples report finances as a major source of conflict, and a study of over 5,500 couples found the pattern of the conversation predicted the outcome, not the financial situation.This episode covers:Why money fights are almost never about the moneyThe money stories we carry from childhood and how they shape every conversation about financesHow money becomes about power, identity and influence in a relationshipThe gendered lens we bring to money conversations and why it mattersQuestions to ask your partner to open the conversation rather than shut it downWhy curiosity before problem solving is the thing that actually changes thingsENROL NOW Relationship New Year RESET 2026https://marievakakis.com.au/relationship-new-year-reset-2026/Connect with Mariehttps://thetherapyhub.com.au/https://marievakakis.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/marievakakis/Submit a question to the Podcasthttps://forms.gle/nvNQyw9gJXMNnveY6

What would you ask about money if you had the mic?Live from Texas A&M Texarkana, Joe Saul-Sehy, Paula Pant, and financial educator Jay Davis take questions from students facing real-world money decisions—like choosing between passion and paycheck, avoiding lifestyle creep, investing safely, and building a financial future from scratch.If you're in your 20s—or wish you could do them over—this episode is packed with the advice we wish we knew earlier.Plus: Doug climbs into the rafters (again) for a trivia showdown you won't forget.

The same mental patterns that cause investors to panic-sell during a downturn, chase validation through status purchases, or freeze up when facing big financial decisions -- those are the exact patterns performance coach Jim Murphy has spent decades helping elite athletes overcome. His framework isn't about trying harder. It's about getting aligned. And today he brings it down to the basement to help Stackers apply it to the one game that matters most -- the one you play with your own money and your own life.What You'll Walk Away WithThe three pillars of extraordinary performance -- belief, freedom, and focus -- and why chasing results instead of these three things is costing you more than you knowWhy the score, the portfolio balance, and the quarterly statement are all distractions -- and what elite performers focus on insteadThe resonance framework that helps you recognize when you're making decisions from alignment versus anxietyFour daily goals that reorient your attention from outcomes you can't control to the process that actually produces themWhy the same ego patterns that derail pro athletes -- always comparing, never satisfied -- show up identically in how most people handle moneyThe homeless harpist story: what Jim did with his last $100 when he was $90,000 in debt -- and what happened nextWhy retiring from a career you've tied your identity to can feel exactly like getting cut from a team -- and how to prepare for it before it happensFive questions to ask yourself before any high-stakes decision to know whether you're operating from fear or from genuine convictionThe AI warning hiding in this episode -- why an assistant that never disagrees with you might be the most financially dangerous tool in your arsenalWhat a cancer diagnosis in January taught a performance coach about what the best possible life actually looks likeWhy This Matters NowIn your 40s, the financial pressure is real -- but so is a quieter kind of pressure that rarely gets named. Am I building the right life? Am I making decisions because they matter to me, or because of what other people will think? Jim Murphy's work sits at the intersection of those two questions, and the answer he keeps arriving at is the same one the best investors, the best athletes, and the most contented people share: stop optimizing for the scoreboard and start arranging your days around what actually makes you feel fully alive.From the BasementJim Murphy joins Joe and OG to walk through the framework behind his new book, The Best Possible Life -- including the desert solitude, the FedEx job, the homeless harpist, and the cancer diagnosis that field-tested everything he teaches. Joe and OG close out the episode with a Psychology Today headline on AI and financial trust -- and OG's story about nearly committing accidental tax fraud because Claude was being extremely encouraging about a box he absolutely should not have checked. Doug arrives with McDonald's trivia in honor of Tax Day and Ray Kroc's first store. Whether the basement scoreboard survived the week is a question best answered with your earbuds in.Resources MentionedThe Best Possible Life by Jim Murphy -- available wherever books are soldInner Excellence by Jim Murphy -- also available wherever books are soldJim Murphy on Substack -- live Q&A coaching sessions and weekly newsletter; find him at interexcellence.comJim Murphy on Instagram -- @InterExcellenceMental Toughness Training for Sports by Dr. Jim Loehr -- referenced by Jim as a foundational influencePsychology Today article on AI and financial trust -- linked in show notes at stackingbenjamins.comStacking Benjamins Guides -- updated monthly at stackingbenjamins.com/guidesStacking Benjamins Vault -- budget and net worth tracking at stackingbenjamins.com/vaultStacking Benjamins Meetups -- find a group at stackingbenjamins.com/badFULL SHOW NOTES: https://stackingbenjamins.com/achieve-your-inner-excellence-with-jim-murphy-1829Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/201Enjoy!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You think you need a better strategy, more leads, or a smarter funnel.You don't.The truth is harder to hear — and impossible to ignore once you see it.You don't have a money problem.You have a love problem.In this episode, Kellan breaks down why most people are stuck in business, life, and fulfillment — not because they lack tools, but because they lack genuine connection: to themselves, to others, and to the truth of what they're creating.Key Takeaways:Why most people are “sleepwalking” through their livesThe real definition of love (and why it's NOT a feeling)How lack of self-love sabotages income and successThe hidden connection between love, trust, and moneyWhy strategy without alignment always failsHow fear, judgment, and comparison block growthThe truth about “attraction marketing” most people missWhy serving with love creates more wealth than chasing moneyThe role of personal story in building impact and incomeHow to shift from reactive living to intentional creation
