Podcasts about Net worth

What would your life look like if you woke up tomorrow and your home was completely paid off? How much freedom would that give your family? And how much more possibility would you feel if housing costs disappeared forever? In today's episode, Ken and Mary Okoroafor from The Humble Penny share how they became mortgage free in one of the most expensive cities in the world: London. They paid off the equivalent of nearly $475,000 in just seven years, and the ripple effects changed everything. Ken and Mary open up about the peace of mind they gained, how their work and family life transformed, what mortgage freedom made possible for their children, and why this choice unlocked a new lifestyle filled with flexibility, purpose, and joy. This Best of MKM conversation is one of the most inspiring mortgage free stories we have ever featured. If you want to eliminate stress, design a more intentional family life, and build generational wealth with confidence, this episode will light a fire under you. CHAPTERS

Welcome to another episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show, and today, I'm tackling something a lot of us feel on the wealth-building journey: it sucks at first, but it's the secret to skyrocketing your net worth. If you're saving and investing and it still seems like your numbers aren't moving, you're not failing—you're experiencing what I call the “wealth flatline.” That frustration has tripped up thousands, but if you stick it out, compounding will flip the switch and your money will start working harder for you than you ever worked for it.In this episode, I pull back the curtain on why building wealth feels painfully slow in the beginning, especially when you see friends celebrating big purchases and living it up while you're keeping it simple and disciplined. We dig into delayed gratification, the real-life grind of managing money, sticking to boring (but proven!) investing strategies, avoiding destructive debt, and fighting the urge for instant gratification.I even cover the phases you'll experience, from the grind, to acceleration, to the explosion zone where your portfolio returns outpace your contributions and you reach true financial freedom.IN TODAY'S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:Why the wealth-building journey feels frustrating at firstHow compounding works in practiceThe phases of wealth buildingReal-life examples showing what happens if you quit early versus stick with itPractical steps to get through the suckWhen your money hustles harder than you do and you live life by choiceRECOMMENDED EPISODES FOR YOUIf you liked this episode, click here to enjoy these and more:https://melabraham.com/show/It's Happening Again and What EVERYONE is MissingAccountant Explains: How to Invest Your First $10,000The 3 Net Worth Milestones That Change EverythingIf You Don't Understand The K-Shaped Economy, You'll Never Get RichHow to Build Systems to Actually Achieve Your Financial GoalsRECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU If you liked this video, you'll love these ones:It's Happening Again and What EVERYONE is Missing: https://youtu.be/sGaGRH396msAccountant Explains: How to Invest Your First $10,000: https://youtu.be/8spO7HPBvDQThe 3 Net Worth Milestones That Change Everything: https://youtu.be/M4PRKP092UkIf You Don't Understand The K-Shaped Economy, You'll Never Get Rich: https://youtu.be/HoEktNaPq5EORDER MY NEW USA TODAY BESTSELLING BOOK:Building Your Money Machine: How to Get Your Money to Work Harder For You Than You Did For It!The key to building the life you desire and deserve is to build your Money Machine—a powerful system designed to generate income that's no longer tied to your work or efforts.

Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Jeremy Barker, a former firefighter turned serial entrepreneur who has built a nine-figure net worth through value-add industrial and office deals. Jeremy walks through how he bought nearly vacant, 100,000+ square foot assets, pre-leased them during due diligence, and created tens of millions in equity with very little cash out of pocket. He shares how going bankrupt twice, living in his truck, and then rebuilding through Murphy Door and commercial real estate reshaped his relationship with money, risk, and failure. Jeremy also talks about chasing “shiny objects” like short-term rentals, the hidden costs of wealth, and the challenge of raising grounded kids when your life includes private planes and big headlines.

What if the lowest point of your life became the foundation of a multimillion-dollar career? In today's episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we sit down with Alex Ruiz (@iamrobertalexruiz) — a young entrepreneur who went from being homeless and lost at 21… to funding over $12 million in credit and business capital by the age of 25. Alex opens up about the adversity he faced growing up with a single mother and nine siblings, how he battled internal doubt, and the exact moment he decided to stop living small and start leveling up. His journey takes us through solar door-to-door sales, barber school, mentorship investments, and ultimately the credit repair and funding business that changed everything.

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we're tackling one of the biggest killers of progress—self-doubt.

Vivian Tu walked away from Wall Street to teach a different kind of wealth building, one that starts with conversations nobody wants to have. She exposes the uncomfortable truth about proximity and money: the rich stay rich partly because they grew up watching how wealth actually works, learning the unspoken rules at dinner tables and country clubs while everyone else was left guessing. Her approach to financial success isn't about grinding harder or cutting out coffee, it's about understanding that being likable often trumps being the smartest person in the room, that your relationships with money will make or break your relationships with people, and that real wealth protection starts with conversations most couples avoid until it's too late. You'll walk away knowing exactly how to position yourself as irreplaceable at work, why women especially need their own money regardless of who they marry, and how a prenup is actually an act of love rather than a sign of distrust.Buy Vivian's book Rich AF: The Winning Money Mindset That Will Change Your LifePre order Well Endowed: The Secrets to Strategic Spending, Building a Financial Foundation for You and Your Family, and Creating Lasting Generational WealthListen to Vivian's podcast Networth and Chill with Your Rich BFFIn this episode you will:Discover why proximity to wealth matters more than talent alone and how people who grew up rich have soft skills that open doors you didn't even know existedTransform your earning potential by understanding that the most paid person isn't the smartest but the one everyone actually likes and wants to work withMaster the art of asking for raises by maintaining a brag book and strategically reminding your boss you're money motivated for six months before everyone else asks in DecemberUncover why talking about money with your partner isn't optional but essential, since money and intimacy are the top two reasons relationships failLearn the STRIP method for financial health: building emergency savings first, attacking high interest debt strategically, investing in retirement with tax advantages, actually buying assets with that retirement money, and planning your specific version of happily ever afterFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1846For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Lewis Howes [SOLO] – greatness.lnk.to/1798SCCodie Sanchez  – greatness.lnk.to/1701SCLeila Hormozi – greatness.lnk.to/1735SC Get more from Lewis!
