You've done everything right. Emergency fund, employer match, maxed-out retirement account, boring diversified index funds quietly compounding in the background. And now some part of you is wondering: is there a next level? Financial educator Brian Feroldi joins Paula Pant and Jesse Cramer for a genuinely useful gut-check on whether picking individual stocks is a smart next step, a fun hobby, or a trap dressed up as ambition, and how to tell the difference before you put real money on the line.What You'll Walk Away WithThe single question that determines whether you're actually ready to buy individual stocks: do you have real interest in the process, not just the potential payoffWhy working in an industry doesn't automatically make you qualified to invest in itThe real statistics behind stock picking: roughly two-thirds of individual stocks underperform the market averageWhy losing money on your first few stock picks might be the best possible outcome, and why winning right away can be dangerousA clear framework for position sizing, so a stock-picking hobby never puts your actual financial plan at riskThe real opportunity cost of stock picking as a "side hustle," and why it competes with your time as much as your moneyWhy a great company and a great stock investment are often two completely different thingsWhy This Matters NowThere's a point in a lot of people's financial journeys where the basics start to feel almost too simple, and that itch to do something more advanced is worth taking seriously, not dismissing. But "more advanced" doesn't automatically mean "individual stocks," and jumping in without genuine interest or a clear framework can turn a healthy curiosity into an expensive mistake. Knowing honestly whether you're drawn to the actual process of researching and following businesses, not just the idea of beating the market, is the difference between a rewarding new hobby and a costly detour from a plan that was already working.From the BasementA tight, competitive trivia round on Bank of America's 1958 "Fresno Drop," the unsolicited mass credit card mailing that eventually led to the creation of Visa, shakes up the year-long standings in a genuinely dramatic way.Resources MentionedStock Simplifier — Brian Feroldi's AI-powered stock research toolWhy Does The Stock Market Go Up? by Brian Feroldi — Brian's bestselling book on how the market worksAfford Anything podcast — Paula Pant's showPersonal Finance for Long-Term Investors podcast — Jesse Cramer's showSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why "must be nice" says more about the person saying it than it does about you — and what it actually takes to build the life other people call lucky.Someone found out Laurie is going to France and said, "Must be nice." A week later, a different woman heard the exact same news and said, "Oh my God, that sounds amazing."Same information. Two totally different responses. In this episode, Laurie digs into that gap — why some women respond to another woman's choices with inspiration, and why others respond by building an airtight case for why it could never work for them. Along the way: the limiting beliefs that keep women small, the wildly different way men and women give themselves permission to want things (hello, husband's golf trip), and the real, unglamorous, five-years-in-the-making story of how this France trip actually happened. Spoiler: it wasn't luck.By the end, Laurie leaves you with one question to sit with — the next time you catch yourself building a case for why something can't happen for you, is it actually impossible? Or have you just not given yourself permission to want it yet?What we cover:The "must be nice" comment at a summer party — and the smirk that came with itThe dental hygienist who heard the exact same news and said, "Oh my God, that sounds amazing"Two types of women: the ones who see possibility, and the ones who shut an idea down before it ever gets the chance to growWhy "no time, no money, wrong season of life, too selfish, too late" is a script — not the truthThe limiting-beliefs idea Laurie can't shake: the more you argue for your limitations, the more you get to keep themWhy women weren't born into this pattern — we were trained into itThe husband's golf trip: how he announces it, doesn't ask permission, and never feels guilty about the kids' soccer cleatsHow women do it differently — checking the schedule, clearing it with a spouse, then still drowning in guilt over the moneyWhy "it's different if you're a man" isn't just a feeling — it's a pattern Laurie sees in her coaching practice every single dayThe truth about the France trip: five-plus years of researching schools, watching the timing fall apart, and choosing it again anywayWhat actually got in the way, year after year — Mike's parents' health, his father's passing, a move, a remodelWhy this trip isn't happening because the timing is perfect (it's not) — it's happening because Laurie decidedThe first time Laurie landed in France and realized it was a place she'd been homesick for her whole lifeWhy midlife is a dress rehearsal for your third act — and why you shouldn't wait for retirement to test-drive the life you wantWhat Laurie is actually doing on this trip: a month of language school, hosting the Paris retreat, then Frankfurt for a client workshopThe real test: does the romanticized "live part of the year in France" fantasy hold up in practice, or just in theoryThe challenge Laurie leaves you with: the next time you catch yourself building a case for why something can't happen for you, ask if it's actually impossible — or if you just haven't given yourself permission to want it yetQuotable moments"Two women, same information. One sees possibility, one shuts it down before it ever even gets a chance to be real.""The more you argue for your limitations, the more you get to keep them.""Whatever you believe is possible for yourself is actually what becomes possible.""He doesn't ask for permission. He just says, 'It's something we're gonna do.'""She isn't giving herself permission to want something different. She's letting her limiting beliefs keep her stuck.""Nothing about this trip is luck or circumstance. It's conscious. It's been a repeated choice to continue building towards it.""Is it actually impossible, or is it just something you haven't given yourself permission to want yet?"Resources + links mentionedJOIN MY MAILING LISTCONNECT WITH LAURIE

What if the thing creating more abundance in your life isn't working harder...but actually having more fun?In this episode of Magic Made, Megan and Chrissy are talking about abundance, flow, creativity, and why stepping away from constant hustle can sometimes open the door to more opportunity, clarity, confidence, and connection.And no, we're not talking about abundance as just money.We're talking about the kind of abundance that shows up when you feel grounded, inspired, present, creative, and connected to your own life again.From DIY projects and painting furniture to slowing down, walking meditations, gratitude, time with your kids, and simple moments of play, we explore the unexpected ways we personally get back into flow.We also get into the pressure entrepreneurs and creatives feel to always be productive, the panic that can hit when work slows down, and why grinding harder isn't always the answer.00:00 What If Abundance Was a Hot Glue Gun?00:41 Abundance Is More Than Money01:45 Megan's DIY “Flow State”03:17 Chrissy's Way Back Into Abundance05:06 Trusting the Process06:18 Stop Making It Bigger Than It Is07:00 Change Your Space, Change Your Energy07:52 The Power of Being Present09:00 Simple Grounding Practices10:24 Why Creativity Feels So Centering11:23 The Problem With Trying to Do Everything13:03 Scrolling vs. Creating13:47 When Opportunity Shows Up Unexpectedly14:20 Stop Gripping for the Next Client15:19 How to Keep Your Momentum16:40 Why Hustle Isn't Sustainable17:07 Permission to Let Go19:29 “I Am Most Abundant When I'm Having Fun”20:30 How to Create More Fun in Your Life21:55 Gratitude as an Abundance Tool22:20 You Do Have Time for Play24:00 Presence Can Be This Simple25:18 Don't Put Fun on Your To-Do List26:00 Your Invitation to Create More FlowSometimes, the shift comes when you stop gripping so tightly.In this episode:What abundance really means beyond moneyWhy creativity can help you get back into flowThe connection between fun, trust, and opportunityHow slowing down can actually help you move forwardWhy presence is one of the most underrated tools for creativesThe problem with constant hustle and grind cultureWhat to do when business feels slowWhy making time for fun is not “wasting time”Using gratitude to shift your mindsetHow simple moments can create more grounded energyWhy Megan believes she is most abundant when she is having fun and creating for funIf you've been feeling stuck, overworked, uninspired, or like you're forcing every next step, this episode is your permission slip to loosen your grip a little.

So why isn't the money in your bank account?In this episode of Scaling with People, Gwendaver Crury sits down with attorney and founder Grace Sabine to unpack one of the most overlooked threats to business growth: unpaid invoices.Grace shares why getting paid isn't an administrative problem—it's a scaling, cash-flow, and founder-time problem.Together, they explore:Why a project isn't really finished until you're paidThe hidden financial, emotional, and opportunity costs of chasing invoicesThe three biggest reasons invoices go unpaid: ghosting, administrative delays, and disputesHow one unpaid $120,000 invoice can become a serious runway problem for a growing companyWhy contracts and clear payment terms matter before the work even beginsWhen to use deposits and milestone payments instead of waiting until the end of a projectHow founders can negotiate payment terms with the people who actually control the moneyWhy the creator economy is especially vulnerable to payment delaysHow AI can help with operational and legal workflows—and where human judgment still mattersThe one operational system every founder should put in place tomorrowThe big takeaway: Getting the deal is exciting. Getting paid is what keeps the business alive.If you're a founder, freelancer, agency, or business owner who has ever thought, “I'll just chase this invoice myself,” this conversation will make you rethink the true cost of that decision.About Grace SabineGrace Sabine is a Columbia Law graduate and founder focused on helping businesses protect the revenue they've already earned.

Most churches think attendance is the goal.But what if attendance is actually the result of something else?In Episode 228 of Fly on the Wall, I sat down with my friend Bobby from Missouri to talk about practical church growth strategies and how getting more people engaged can create sustainable growth.Bobby's church has experienced an incredible turnaround, growing from around 20 people to a couple hundred. But with that growth comes a new challenge:How do you move new people from simply attending to actually becoming part of the church?I believe one of the biggest mistakes churches make is treating attendance as the lead goal.It's not.Engagement is the lead goal. Attendance is the lag goal.When people begin serving, they build relationships. They experience discipleship. They develop a sense of ownership. And ultimately, they become more connected to the life and mission of the church.We also talked about something every church needs to take seriously: invite culture.Culture isn't changed by preaching about something once. It's built through the stories you tell, the heroes you make, and the things you celebrate.Here's some of what we unpack:Why engagement should be a primary goal for growing churchesHow to create a clear pathway from attendance to involvementWhy longtime volunteers can struggle to make room for new peopleHow 90-day engagement goals can create momentumWhy word of mouth remains such a powerful form of church marketingHow to test your marketing before investing more moneyWhy messages inspire, but systems change behaviorHow stories, heroes, and celebration shape your church's cultureWhy you should follow up with the person who brought the guest, not just the guestHow to know whether invite culture is actually becoming part of your churchIf you want sustainable church growth, don't just ask, "How do we get more people in the room?"Start asking, "How do we help the people already coming become part of the mission?"

Divorce changes your relationship with a lot of things.Love. Trust. Safety. The future.And sometimes… money.Because money isn't just money. It can represent security, freedom, worthiness, belonging—and whether or not you believe there will actually be enough.In this VIP re-release, we're digging into the subconscious money beliefs you may not even realize you're carrying: scarcity, feeling ineligible for more, inherited beliefs about wealth, and the complicated feelings that can come with allowing yourself to actually have more.We'll talk about:How “there's not enough” becomes a deeply ingrained beliefThe family, cultural, and spiritual messages that shape your relationship with moneyWhy part of you may not believe you're eligible for abundanceThe connection between money, identity, belonging, and lossWhy being “realistic” can sometimes keep you from imagining something differentHow to begin noticing and shifting the beliefs underneath your money patternsHuman Design as a tool for understanding how you naturally make decisions and move through the worldA guided practice to begin working with scarcity and your capacity to receiveBecause after experiencing profound loss, it's worth getting curious about what your mind and body learned from it.Not just about love.But about having, losing, trusting—and believing there can still be more.

In this episode of Turnkey Design Talk, I'm joined by high-ticket sales strategist and business mindset master coach Christine Corcoran, bestselling author of Turn Imposter Syndrome Into Your Superpower and founder of the Unstoppable Women event.Christine has coached interior designers and other creative business owners through the mindset, visibility and sales challenges that can quietly keep talented people playing small. And in this conversation, we get right into them.We talk about why imposter syndrome can still show up 10 or 15 years into your career, why being good at something can actually make you undervalue it, and why comparing your pricing to the designer down the road tells you very little about what your business needs to charge.Christine also challenges the idea that referrals alone are enough to build a reliable design business. We explore visibility as a business strategy — from social media and speaking to camera to partnerships, events, cold outreach and deliberately putting yourself where potential clients are already making decisions.We also get into the uncomfortable stuff around money and selling: discounting your fees, giving away consultations, overdelivering to prove your worth, avoiding conversations about money, emailing a proposal and then hoping the client says yes, and taking on the wrong client simply because you're worried there won't be another one.And Christine leaves us with practical actions you can start this week: prioritise your own marketing before disappearing into client work, build a bank of evidence of the results you've already created, and develop a lead-generation system that doesn't leave your income entirely in the hands of referrals.We finish by talking about Unstoppable Women, Christine's Gold Coast event, and why she wants Australian women in business to get better at celebrating their achievements, networking, collaborating and asking, “How can I help you?” rather than allowing tall-poppy syndrome to keep everyone playing small.In this episode:Why imposter syndrome doesn't disappear when you become experiencedSeparating your self-worth from the value of your design serviceWhy “What is everyone else charging?” can be the wrong questionBecoming comfortable talking about moneyWhy discounting can undermine your own valueVisibility beyond simply posting on InstagramCreating opportunities instead of waiting for referralsGetting past the fear of outreachThree practical actions to build confidence, visibility and leadsThe story and thinking behind Unstoppable WomenIf you're a talented designer or decorator who knows you need to become more visible, more confident and more proactive about creating opportunities, this conversation is for you.http://christinecorcoran.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/christinecorcoran_coach/https://www.facebook.com/ChristineCorcoranCoachhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-corcoran-1860187a/https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-next-level-life-with-christine-corcoran/id1276992872book - https://www.amazon.com.au/Turn-Impostor-Syndrome-Into-Superpower/dp/1763812308/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1T8Q6DJRQALG0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.SqS_co7k1-ADp9g10GIxFOxxGrPcPOlygxMEur7mpXRrilU-bKaBZdWwGSnNz4JCF9BKViPuKd2iP2aMB8hYfPqW_nJ3SG99vgYueNEUz1I.6DAcjMB9Vo5Z6f61vFMroB5-7V3KdGPpQYnoqR8SFJ8&dib_tag=se&keywords=christine+corcoran&qid=1764290762&sprefix=christine+cor%2Caps%2C624&sr=8-1Wondering if you're charging enough?Download my free Solo Designer Profit Guide™ and discover what interior designers are charging in 2026 based on 50+ research interviews across Australia, Canada and the USA.

What if staying connected didn't require another thing on your calendar?For busy couples, “date night” can start to feel like one more responsibility—find a babysitter, make a reservation, figure out what to do, and somehow find the energy to actually enjoy yourselves.We know that feeling.In this lighter, fun episode, we're sharing some of the simple ways we've learned to stay connected at home—from question decks and themed dinners to game nights, morning coffee, walks with the dogs, cooking together, and even folding laundry.Because some of the most meaningful moments in a relationship aren't grand gestures at all. They're the ordinary moments when we intentionally turn toward each other. We talk about:Easy at-home date ideas that don't require a lot of planning or moneyWhy novelty can bring playfulness back into your relationshipHow just 10 intentional minutes together can matterSimple conversation starters that help you reconnectWhy shared rituals—morning coffee, a favorite show, cooking together—can become meaningful points of connectionHow to prioritize your relationship without making connection feel like another taskWe also share one of our favorite questions for couples:If we met today, what would first catch your attention about me now?And when you're finished listening, we have some Love Work for you:Don't wait for the perfect date night. Find one small moment this week and make it yours.Because healthy relationships aren't built only on vacations, romantic dinners, or grand gestures.They're built through thousands of small moments when we choose to turn toward one another.

In this episode of Million Dollar Flip Flops, Rodric sits down with Jungian-trained coach Chuck Gafvert for a deep conversation about money, self-worth, emotional intelligence, and the unconscious patterns that shape how we build businesses and live our lives.Chuck explains why money problems often aren't really about money. Instead, money can expose deeper beliefs and emotional patterns formed through childhood, family dynamics, relationships, and our need for security, approval, and significance.The conversation explores why making more money doesn't automatically make those issues disappear—and can actually amplify them. Chuck shares his own experience of becoming more arrogant after making his first million, how wealth affected his relationships, and why he eventually had to look inward.From childhood money stories and self-sabotage to anger, grief, shadow work, and the intelligence of the head, heart, and gut, this episode goes far beyond financial strategy.It's a conversation about understanding yourself well enough to build wealth without letting wealth define who you are.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy money problems often reveal deeper emotional issuesHow childhood experiences shape your relationship with moneyWhy more money can amplify insecurity instead of eliminating itHow self-worth affects pricing, earning, and business growthWhy entrepreneurs sometimes sabotage themselves when success becomes easierHow suppressed emotions can influence business, relationships, and healthWhy money itself is neutral—and the meaning we attach to it mattersHow shadow work can uncover unconscious patternsWhy your head, heart, and gut can all provide different forms of intelligenceHow to build a healthier relationship with wealth and successHighlights & Timestamps[00:00] Money amplifies what's already thereChuck opens with the idea that money may solve financial problems, but it can amplify unresolved issues within your personality.[01:00] Meet Chuck GafvertChuck introduces his work as a Jungian-trained coach who uses money as an entry point into deeper personal transformation.[02:00] Your money problems may not be about moneyChuck explains how financial insecurity often connects to family experiences and unconscious beliefs absorbed during childhood.[03:00] What happened after Chuck made his first millionChuck shares how financial success amplified his arrogance and negatively affected his relationships.[04:00] Why rich people can still feel financially insecureRodric and Chuck discuss how comparison keeps people dissatisfied regardless of how much money they accumulate.[05:00] Self-worth, pricing, and self-sabotageRodric shares how self-worth issues show up in entrepreneurs through pricing, giving away time, and sabotaging businesses once success becomes easier.[06:00] When the body sends the billThe conversation explores how living out of alignment can eventually manifest through stress, health problems, and other consequences.[07:00] The money stories we inherit from our parentsRodric shares memories of hearing his parents argue about money, while Chuck explains how childhood associations with money can follow us into adulthood.[08:00] Grinding for approvalChuck discusses how some men unconsciously associate hard work and financial achievement with earning a father's approval or love.[09:00] Money is neutralChuck explains why money itself isn't good or bad—it's a tool onto which society projects enormous emotional meaning.[10:00] Why we resent extreme successRodric and Chuck explore why society often roots for the underdog until that person becomes “too successful.”[11:00] When old coping mechanisms stop serving youChuck explains that many unhealthy patterns originally served a useful purpose but eventually become sources of stress.[12:00] There are no bad emotionsChuck challenges the idea that anger, grief, and sadness need to be suppressed.[13:00] What's underneath the anger?The conversation explores how fully acknowledging anger can reveal deeper grief, sadness, and unresolved pain.[15:00] Head, heart, and gut intelligenceChuck explains why logical intelligence is only one piece of the puzzle and why people should learn to listen to emotional and intuitive signals too.[17:00] “I don't need therapy. I need results.”Rodric shares the story of a former coaching client who wanted business results without addressing the emotional patterns influencing the business.[18:00] What if this all feels too “woo-woo”?Chuck offers advice for people who are uncomfortable exploring emotions and inner work.[20:00] Everything is connectedChuck explains why patterns appearing in relationships often appear in business and money as well.[21:00] Who are you without your identity?The conversation goes deeper into ego, identity, and separating who you really are from your job, thoughts, emotions, and social conditioning.[23:00] Releasing controlChuck discusses having goals while accepting that life won't always unfold exactly according to plan.[24:00] Life as a mirrorRodric and Chuck explore how the behaviors that trigger us in other people may reflect rejected parts of ourselves.[27:00] The $100 money exerciseRodric shares a powerful mastermind exercise designed to uncover emotional reactions to money, competition, and comparison.[29:00] The stories we project onto wealthy peopleThe conversation explores assumptions about millionaires, billionaires, greed, and the morality people attach to wealth.[31:00] Where to find ChuckChuck shares how listeners can connect with him and experience an emotional audit around their relationship with money.[32:00] If money were a person...Chuck leaves the next guest with a powerful question: If money were a person, what would your relationship with it be?[33:00] Chuck's definition of successChuck shares how his definition of success has evolved and why the respect of his children matters more to him now than financial achievement.Notable Quotes“Money will solve our money problems, but money is an amplifier for other things in our personalities that we haven't really taken the time to resolve.” – Chuck Gafvert“If our self-worth is based on where we are in that strata, we are never gonna feel satisfied.” – Chuck Gafvert“Money is neutral.” – Chuck Gafvert“There's no such thing as a bad emotion.” – Chuck Gafvert“If you're suppressing other emotions, joy will not enter your house.” – Chuck Gafvert“You can't separate one category from another.” – Chuck Gafvert“The suffering in life comes from the fact that we think our perspective is the only one.” – Chuck Gafvert“If money were a person, what would your relationship be with it?” – Chuck GafvertConnect with Chuck Gaffert

Mikey Taylor went from being a pro skateboarder with no college degree to selling a brewery to Miller Coors, becoming the Mayor of Thousand Oaks, and building a real estate investment firm with over 700 investors.But the most interesting part of his journey? It wasn't the money that changed him. It was losing his identity after making it.In this episode of Founders Roundtable, Mikey gets completely real about what success actually looks like, why wealth is silent, and what separates founders who build something lasting from those who burn out chasing the wrong thing.What we cover in this episode:Going from pro skater to entrepreneur with zero business experienceSelling his brewery to Miller Coors and the identity crisis that followedWhy wealth is silent and spending is not successHow he built a 700+ investor community through Instagram and YouTubeThe biggest lie social media tells young entrepreneurs about moneyWhy he believes you invest in the jockey not the horseThe long term generational mindset that changed everything for himHow to build a business that runs without youThe 70% rule for delegating to your teamWhat he would tell his 20 year old selfThis is not a highlight reel.

There's a strange thing that happens to a lot of people as their income grows: the anxiety doesn't go away, it just changes shape. More money, more accounts, more to track, and somehow the same low hum of worry every time a bill comes due. Jesse Mecham, founder of YNAB and one of the most trusted voices in budgeting, has spent over two decades helping people fix that, and his conclusion isn't a better spreadsheet or a stricter budget. It's a single question, one that sounds almost too simple to matter, until you actually try to answer it.What You'll Walk Away WithThe one question that replaces budgeting guilt with genuine clarity, and why it works even for people who "already have money figured out"Why looking backward at your spending almost never makes you feel better, and what to do insteadThe five categories every dollar actually falls into, and why skipping even one of them creates financial blind spotsWhy future income should never be allowed to rescue your current plan, and how that habit quietly leads to credit card debtA surprisingly simple system for making irregular bills stop feeling like emergenciesThe real story of a Costco cashier who became a millionaire without doing anything complicated, and what it says about the myth of needing to "get fancy" with moneyWhy money worry doesn't disappear once you have more of it, and what actually makes it go awayWhy This Matters NowIt's easy to assume that financial peace is just one income bump away. Get the raise, pay off the card, hit the next savings milestone, and the anxiety will finally quiet down. But that's rarely how it actually works. Real financial confidence comes from knowing exactly what your money is for, not from having more of it. That clarity is available at any income level, and it's the difference between managing money and constantly feeling managed by it.From the BasementA story about a seventh-grade inline skating competition, complete with donated gear, mystery sponsors, and an unauthorized parking lot, turns out to be the unexpected origin story behind one of personal finance's most beloved communities.

Send me a message Every agent has heard "you have to invest in yourself," but nobody actually tells you how, or what to actually invest in.Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way. For years I saw a $500 course as an expense instead of an investment, and it cost me a year or two of trial and error I could have skipped entirely. Once I understood the difference, everything unlocked.This episode breaks down exactly where I've personally invested, what actually paid off, and a few results that genuinely surprised me, including one investment that had nothing to do with real estate at all.In this episode:Why joining a team my first two years was one of the smartest investments I ever made, even at a 50/50 splitThe $7,000 personal training program that changed my health and my mindset around investing in myselfHow a $30,000 mastermind led to an investment opportunity that's paying off in a completely different wayWhy live events consistently deliver the best ROI of almost anything I've invested inWhy buying a course instead of "figuring it out on YouTube" can save you years, not just moneyWhy switching brokerages has been one of the biggest paradigm shifts of my career, twiceThe real Instagram Listing Blitz results: 2.5 million views, $92,000 in commission, and a 7,901% average increase in reach.Applications for the next Instagram Listing Blitz group are open now.

The Bible is crammed full of clear verses about money, yet there are some weird teachings out there even amongst Christians when it comes to finances. I've been wanting to do an episode debunking some of these things I've heard from pulpits and on faith-based podcasts for a while and here it finally is! I'm excited to get this one in your earbuds, friends!You'll hear me share today about:Is God okay with people being rich?What actually is the biblical definition of the Prosperity Gospel?Scriptural ways to think and practically act around moneyWhy it's important for Christians to have moneyBible verses about money Was Jesus poor?Should we only have money to give it all away?Connect with Nyla:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nyla's second podcast, On the Job with God Christian Business Podcast⁠

Most people think becoming wealthy means creating the next billion-dollar startup, going viral, or becoming an influencer. Ramel Newerls says that's one of the biggest financial myths of our generation.In this episode of Inside the Vault, Ash Cash sits down with the entrepreneur known as the "Self Storage Millionaire" to reveal how buying existing cash-flowing businesses—not building them from scratch—can fast-track financial freedom.From growing up on welfare in Brooklyn to owning 500+ self-storage units, seven businesses, and completing millions in acquisitions, Ramel breaks down why the greatest wealth transfer in history is happening right now—and how ordinary people can take advantage of it.They discuss seller financing, SBA loans, buying businesses with little money down, why self-storage continues to outperform many traditional investments, and why the future belongs to owners—not just workers.If you've ever believed you needed millions to own businesses, this conversation will completely change the way you think about wealth.In this episode you'll learn:Why self-storage is creating everyday millionairesHow to buy businesses without using your own moneyWhy buying a business is often smarter than starting oneHow seller financing really worksThe greatest wealth transfer happening right nowThe R.I.C.H. Acquisition Method for evaluating businessesWhy boring businesses create extraordinary wealthHow AI is creating even more opportunities for business ownersThe importance of cash flow over flashy assetsHow to build generational wealth through ownership

In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda react to financial advice telling couples who are living paycheck to paycheck or paying off debt to “stop having babies.”They explain why that advice falls short of a Catholic understanding of marriage, fertility, stewardship, and openness to life.Jonathan and Amanda also clarify an important point: serious circumstances can lead a married couple to prayerfully discern postponing pregnancy for a time. However, that discernment is deeply personal and cannot be reduced to a blanket rule that financial progress should come before children.In this episode:Why debt does not automatically mean couples should delay childrenThe difference between Catholic discernment and a contraceptive mentalityWhy financial goals must remain ordered to your vocationHow children can motivate families to become more intentional with moneyWhy waiting for the “perfect time” can become its own trapWhen serious financial hardship may warrant temporary discernmentWhy one-income and two-income families can both make prudent choicesHow the Church's teaching helps Catholics navigate difficult circumstancesWhy financial advice from non-Catholic sources often requires careful siftingFor more candid Catholic conversations about money, join the WalletWin Weekly Newsletter at:https://walletwin.com/newsletterMusic in this episode is by Dylan Gardner – ⁠⁠⁠⁠check out his album Almost Real⁠⁠ ⁠⁠on ⁠⁠⁠⁠iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠, or wherever you listen to great music.

Jess is talking self-concept — and specifically, the energetics of a no. Why do we need everything lined up, certain, and risk-free before we'll take a step? And what does that actually cost us?She opens with the chaos of her own recent journey — ferrying her dog home to Mallorca across three countries — and uses it to land the real theme: you can't have the bridge appear before you step onto it. Waiting for full certainty just keeps you loyal to your current self-concept, not the one you say you want.From there the episode moves into relationship — and the idea that what you experience on the surface is almost never where the relationship is actually happening. Masks, projection, the unconscious agendas partners carry (often around abandonment, control, or fear of being outgrown) — and the "Eden loop," the ping-pong of triggering that quietly rots a relationship over decades.Which brings her to sovereignty itself: your own money, your own name on things, your own ability to make — and survive — your own mistakes. Jess shares what she's noticed across ultra-wealthy clients, the wife's-wage model, a viral story of a woman who built her whole identity around a wealthy partner only to be left with nothing, and why "stranger danger" is rarely where the real risk lives.In this episode:Why certainty-seeking is really just self-concept in disguiseThe "Eden loop" — how relationships get stuck in trigger ping-pongEnergetic cords: what they are, and why partnership shouldn't have themFinancial sovereignty as the foundation of real freedomReal (and viral) cautionary tales of women without visibility on their own moneyWhy the people closest to you often can't hold your biggest leaps

This one is a throwback and the lessons still land hard.Michael Jones Sr is a master technician out of Charlotte, North Carolina, with a couple of decades in the automotive world before he gave it all up to go twist wrenches on motorcycles.He spent about ten years across nearly ten different powersports and motorcycle dealerships, and he came on the show to talk about something a lot of people in this industry feel but do not say out loud: the passion has slipped, and it is costing dealers money.In this conversation with, Michael makes the case that passion and professionalism are not soft ideas. They are directly tied to how profitable a service department is, how loyal customers become, and how a dealership stands out when everyone is pushing the same metal.What we cover:Why passion starts in the employee parking lot and how to spot a disconnectThe gun store comparison: why every employee there knows their product and why motorcycle shops often do notHow employee burnout and social media scrolling quietly drain the profitability of a service departmentThe parts-guy-at-the-bench workflow that saves the mechanic time and makes the shop more moneyWhy the 10-year-and-older rule is a mindset, not a fact, and what dealers miss by turning that work awayPulling back the curtain: why engaging service customers in how things work builds loyalty and repeat businessWhy so many younger customers have never been around machines and how dealers can bring them inMichael's own story as a customer and the service manager who always tells him what is nextWhy texting a customer the owner's manual PDF beats hoping they read the paper copyThe professionalism gap that separates a confident dealership from one that gets caught flat-footedThe Chrome Mafia story: how one independent shop built a riding culture that a four-brand, 30-year dealership could not matchWhy getting 30 to 40% of your staff riding changes everythingWatch on YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry/⁠Follow the Fixit Online: ⁠https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixit⁠MotoHunt for Dealers: ⁠https://dealers.motohunt.com⁠

Send us Fan MailMost founders obsess over business metrics but rarely apply the same discipline to their personal finances. Instead, they make decisions based on stories: "My exit will take care of it." "Next year will be my breakthrough." "I'll deal with it later." Those assumptions can quietly cost hundreds of thousands of dollars over a lifetime.In this episode of Scaling with People, fiduciary financial planner Chris Everett, founder of Everett Wealth Solutions, explains why intelligent entrepreneurs often make emotional money decisions—and how to build a financial plan grounded in reality instead of hope.We explore why your earliest beliefs about money still influence your decisions today, how identity can drive unnecessary spending, and why many founders unknowingly take risks that leave their families and businesses exposed. Chris also challenges popular financial advice that isn't always right for entrepreneurs, including the 4% rule, maxing out a 401(k), and defaulting to a 529 plan.You'll also learn why tax planning, beneficiary designations, insurance, and asset protection deserve as much attention as your investment portfolio—and the simple exercise you can do this week to uncover one of the biggest gaps in your financial plan.In this episode, you'll learn:Why founders often make emotional—not rational—financial decisionsWhat "financial future faking" is and how to avoid itHow childhood beliefs shape your relationship with moneyWhy your business should never be your retirement planCommon financial advice that doesn't fit many entrepreneursThe overlooked planning mistakes that can create major financial riskOne simple review that could protect your family and your futureIf you're building a business, your personal financial strategy deserves the same intentionality as your growth strategy. This conversation will help you think differently about wealth, risk, and what financial security really means.Enjoyed this episode?

In this episode, Carolyn sits down with Liam MacCormack, a fractional head of growth who's spent years in the weeds of B2B paid search, to unpack why the channel keeps burning B2B budgets and what to do about it.They get into the market forces making paid search harder than ever: rising CPCs, zero-click search, and agencies still optimizing like it's 2015. Then they go tactical on a real client scenario — a high-ACV company that's switched agencies multiple times and still can't make it work — and what that reveals about when a channel is worth fixing versus when it's just draining spend.Topics covered:Why "you need to spend more on impression share" is the most seductive upsell in paid search, and the one metric that actually tells you if it's trueThe profile of a company paid search works for, and the profile where it's a waste of moneyWhy paid search is a demand-capture channel, and what that means for how you budget itHow to know when to cut the channel, cut the budget in half, or let it run as a tertiary sourceWhy branded search is propping up most agency reporting, and the one question to ask to find outIf your paid search has been underperforming for quarters and the answer is always "give it more time," this one's worth your attention.-----------------------------------------------------

You keep hoping for more money. Praying for it. Working harder for it. But hope was never the plan — becoming was.In this episode, Jay Moore breaks down why so many people stay stuck in the same money struggles their whole lives, and why going back to school, getting another certification, or grinding harder almost never solves it. He traces the pattern back through his own family — four generations, the same struggle — and shows you the real question you've never been asked: not "what do I need to do," but "who do I need to become."In this episode, you'll learn:Why culture shapes your money identity before anyone ever "teaches" you anything about moneyWhy money is energy — and why you can't access more of it until your energy rises to meet itHow Genesis 1:26 and Joshua 1:8 lay out the exact mindset shift you need to cross over intoYou don't need another degree. You need a different identity. Press play — this one will change how you think about money for good.

How many times have you talked yourself out of pursuing an opportunity, telling yourself it wasn't for you, that you weren't ready, or you weren't qualified? What if that hesitation wasn't self-awareness but a script you internalized?Many women have a complicated relationship with their ambitions for greater leadership and greater wealth. And it isn't because women are somehow inherently less suited for leadership or financial independence. The systems of power, patriarchy, sexism, and misogyny that we live in every day shape the voice in women's heads that tells them they're not meant to be a leader.We are in a political and cultural moment where women's rights and autonomy are facing incredible pushback at all levels. It's vital that we examine our internalized biases towards ourselves and others, where we limit our ambitions for roles we have the skills and abilities for, and where we're giving up our power because of the stories we've been told by our society.My guest today is a beautiful example of a woman who hadn't considered herself for a CEO role, but who stepped into the position and has grown into the kind of leader we just might need most right now. In our conversation, we talk a lot about women and finances and also about what we believe about our abilities and the opportunities we deserve to pursue.Sylvia Kwan is a Chartered Financial Analyst with more than 30 years of industry experience.

Carol Guzy is one the most decorated photojournalist in the world. She has won four Pulitzer Prizes, nine World Press Photo awards, and was named World Press Photo of the Year 2025 for a single image made in a courthouse hallway in New York. A picture of two girls holding onto their father's shirt as ICE agents took him away.This conversation took place in Amsterdam, the morning before the award ceremony. Carol had barely slept. She was still thinking about the families she couldn't reach.In this episode, we talk about what it actually takes to do this kind of work: going to the same courthouse every day for six months, couch surfing through the boroughs of New York, funding the whole thing out of your own savings, and staying emotionally present with people whose lives are falling apart in front of your lens.What you'll take away from this episodeHow Carol spent six months at a New York courthouse without a single assignment, documenting ICE detentions on her own time and moneyWhy she sees empathy as both the foundation of her work and the heaviest thing she carriesHow she thinks about physical and emotional distance in the field, and why those are two very different questionsWhat she does to stay mentally healthy while covering stories that would break most peopleWhy she calls this a mission rather than a career, and what that means for every practical decision she makesAbout Carol GuzyCarol Guzy is a freelance photojournalist based in Washington D.C. She started her career with an internship at The Miami Herald after training as a nurse, then made the leap to photography after a single darkroom class changed the direction of her life.

Reach out at podcast@optometrywealth.com.What You'll LearnWhat an IPO is and why 2026's IPOs are historic in sizeHow IPOs have historically performed compared to the broad US stock marketWhy the famous "first-day pop" doesn't benefit everyday investorsThe distribution of individual IPO outcomes over 3 and 5 years — and why most lose moneyWhy periods of peak IPO hype tend to be followed by the worst returnsHow the S&P 500, Russell, CRSP, and MSCI indexes decide when (and how much of) an IPO to includeWhat "float adjustment" means and why these trillion-dollar companies will enter index funds as tiny sliversHow the Nasdaq-100's approach to IPOs differs from broad market indexesWhether index fund "front-running" around IPO inclusions should worry long-term investorsHow factor-based funds like Dimensional handle newly public companiesKey Takeaways for OptometristsInvesting in IPOs right after they go public has historically been a poor strategy. IPOs as a group have trailed the broad market, and when you look at individual companies, roughly 60% lost money over their first three to five years - while a small sliver delivered lottery-like gains that lift the averages. Betting on IPOs means betting you can pick those rare winners.For index fund investors, these mega IPOs will eventually show up in your funds - but because indexes are float-adjusted, even a $1.77 trillion company may enter as a fraction of a percent of the index. The impact on your portfolio, good or bad, is small.The bigger lesson: when hype is at its highest, expected returns tend to be at their lowest. Staying broadly diversified, keeping costs low, and not chasing shiny objects continues to be the prudent approach - and if you do want a lottery ticket, be honest about what it is and size it accordingly.Related Episodes:Ep 134: The Case for Index Funds – Why Optometrists Should Embrace Passive InvestingEp 135: Beyond Indexing – An Optometrist's Guide to Factor-Based InvestingEp 58: Investing Fundamentals – Understanding Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, and ETFsEp 153: How to Invest Tax-Efficiently and Keep More of Your Returns (After-tax)Resources for OptometristsLoughran & Ritter (1995), "The New Issues Puzzle" — Journal of FinanceDimensional Fund Advisors (2019), "What to Know About IPOs" research studyDimensional Fund Advisors 2025 video: Do IPOs Have a Place in Your Portfolio?Jay Ritter's Long-Run Returns on IPOs (University of Florida)2025: Primary Capital Market Transactions and Index FundsCullen Roche's Article: Three Things – 100s, SpaceX, & IndexingWant a more proactive approach to your planning?You can schedule a no-commitment introductory call to discuss what's on your mind financially and learn how we help optometrists navigate those same decisions nationwide.

What if some of the struggles spiritual entrepreneurs experience with money are not simply about discipline, willpower, or mindset but are also connected to the brain and nervous system?

Every spring, something remarkable happens in the tidal waters of Black Creek in Esopus, New York: tiny, translucent eels — just an inch and a half long and barely the weight of a postage stamp — swim in from the Atlantic Ocean, following a journey that began in the Sargasso Sea nearly a year before.In this episode, guest host Sierra DeVito joins the Hudson River Eel Project at Black Creek Preserve, where Professor Susan Hereth of SUNY New Paltz leads a team of college and high school students in weekly data collection on the American eel — one of nature's most elusive and mysterious creatures. No one has ever witnessed eels spawning. No one knows exactly what draws them to the Hudson, or to Black Creek specifically. And yet, year after year, they return.We wade in with the crew as they haul the fyke net, count and weigh glass eels, record field data, and release the eels upstream. We also hear from students about what it means to do real science in the real world — and why it matters.In this episode:The remarkable (and still poorly understood) life cycle of the American eel, from the Sargasso Sea to the Catskill tributariesHow community scientists collect data that feeds into long-term fisheries researchThe black market for glass eels — and why a single eel can be worth serious moneyWhy getting students into the muck may be the best environmental education of allFor more information or to inquire about volunteering with the Hudson River Eel Project, visit the NYS DEC website — https://dec.ny.gov/nature/waterbodies/oceans-estuaries/hudson-river-estuary-program/community-science-volunteer-opportunities

Over my birthday month, I gave myself some real space. Time to switch off, be with family, and finally lean into something I'd been dancing around for a while… AI.And somewhere in that space, I had to be honest with myself.Things in my business were good. My clients, the Legends Club, the inner circle, all of that felt solid. But when it came to AI, I could see it clearly. I'd been coasting. Staying comfortable while everything around me was speeding up.What really brought it home was watching my husband, Josh. He's been in development for over 25 years, deep in AI for the last few, and he's just in it. Running agents, building things, automating constantly. And I kept thinking, that's his world.Until it hit me. This isn't just his world anymore. It's everyone's.That was my wake-up moment.So this episode is about what happened when I stopped sitting on the sidelines. What I started building, what stretched my brain in the best way, and why I believe the people who learn how to have AI actually do things for them, not just give them answers, are going to have a serious edge over the next 6 to 12 months.What You'll Learn:Why most people are still using AI the "old way", and what it actually looks like when it starts working for you insteadWhat made me go from coasting on AI to completely overhauling how I run my business (and what finally clicked)How I built a full sales page in about two hours, and what that same process used to cost me in time and moneyWhy the 40% of jobs most at risk from AI disproportionately affect women, and why that makes this moment so importantHow to identify opportunities in your business where AI can save time and energy Hosted on Acast.

I just got back from three days in Atlanta with some of the most impressive people in the online business space, and I am still processing all of it.We're talking New York Times bestselling authors, YouTubers with millions of subscribers, book agents and editors, SaaS founders, and high-level consultants serving Fortune 100 companies. All 40 of us crammed into rooms, hot seats, and late-night fire pit hangs for what turned into one of the most valuable professional (and personal) experiences I've had in years.I walked away with pages of notes on pricing psychology, LinkedIn strategy, storytelling, community building, and what it really takes to write and sell a book. But honestly? The biggest thing I took away wasn't a tactic at all. It was the realization that even after building a multi-seven-figure business, giving keynotes, and writing a book, I still don't fully believe in myself or what's possible for me.And it turns out? Neither does pretty much everyone else in that room. So I figured I'd bring all of it back to you.In this episode, you'll hear…The pricing psychology tip from a master business consultant that will make you rethink every number on your sales pageWhy the words "fee" and "costs" are quietly working against your sales (and what to say instead)The LinkedIn profile mistakes almost everyone makes and the simple fixes that actually drive traffic to your businessWhat spending three days with NYT bestselling authors taught me about the realities of publishing, book deals, and where authors actually make their moneyWhy the most successful people in the room still felt like they didn't belong there, and what that means for youThe honest truth about AI that nobody in the online space seems willing to say out loudWhy going deep in one community beats trying to be everywhere at onceClick here to find the full show notes and transcript for this episode.EPISODE RESOURCES:Grab Sam's book When I Start My Business, I'll Be Happy and join the Live Book Club Call (purchase book by April 29th to get your invite)Jo Franco's travel showCraft + Commerce ConferenceSam's episode on The Nathan Barry ShowIf you have a question you'd like Sam to answer on a future podcast episode, you can submit it here.Click here to be notified when new episodes of On Your Terms® come outCONNECT:Get Sam's weekly newsletter, Sam's SidebarFollow Sam on InstagramFollow Sam on YouTubeSubscribe to Sam's Substack, Beyond BusinessTake Sam's free legal workshop "5 Steps to Legally Protect & Grow Your Online Business"DISCLAIMER
