In this episode of The People Dividend Podcast, host Mike Horne and Nancy Griffin explore the interconnected themes of self-worth, net worth, and legacy, particularly in the context of women's empowerment. Nancy shares her journey in advocating for financial independence, wellness, and philanthropy among women, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing health and the impact of generosity. The conversation delves into actionable steps for building a legacy and the significance of working with trusted advisors to navigate financial planning. Through personal anecdotes and insights, Nancy highlights the transformative power of philanthropy and the ripple effects it can create within communities.   Key Points: Self-worth and net worth are deeply connected. Women often bear a disproportionate amount of responsibility for family health and wellness, which are essential for being an asset to others. Generosity often returns benefits to the giver and can create a significant ripple effect in communities. Women are increasingly earning and inheriting wealth, creating opportunities for stewardship. Leadership involves empowering others to step into their strengths. Building a legacy starts with education and community involvement.   Links:  Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Learn More About Executive and Organization Development with Mike Horne Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikehorneauthor  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikehorneauthor/,  LinkedIn Mike's Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/6867258581922799617/,  Schedule a Discovery Call with Mike: https://calendly.com/mikehorne/15-minute-discovery-call-with-mike     Learn More about Nancy Griffin: https://womenworthwellness.com/about-us/  #peopledividendpodcast #podcastepisode #podcastrecommendations #WomenEmpowerment #HealthAndWealth #Philanthropy #FinancialIndependence #LegacyPlanning

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, made a striking financial admission that's been dominating headlines. In a Wall Street Journal video interview published in early January, the 27-year-old YouTube megastar revealed he currently has negative money and is actually borrowing funds to get by. According to the interview, Donaldson stated, "I have negative money right now. I'm borrowing money right now. That's how little money I have." He went further, claiming that technically everyone watching has more money than him if you subtract his company equity, which he notes doesn't buy him a McDonald's breakfast.This revelation comes from someone whose net worth sits between 2.6 and 3.7 billion dollars on paper. The paradox makes sense when you understand that his wealth is almost entirely tied up in Beast Industries, the private company he controls a majority stake in, valued at roughly 5 to 7.4 billion dollars depending on the valuation source. Beast Industries operates like a Silicon Valley startup rather than a traditional celebrity brand, employing around 450 people with over 300 dedicated to video production alone.The financial strain comes from aggressive reinvestment. Average main-channel videos cost between 3 to 4 million dollars to produce, and Donaldson frequently scraps completed content if it doesn't meet his standards. Last year, tens of millions were spent on videos never released. Beast Games, his Amazon Prime Video series, reportedly lost tens of millions after production costs spiraled. The company suffered losses exceeding 100 million dollars in its media division during 2024.What keeps the operation afloat is Feastables, his consumer snack brand generating over 200 million dollars in annual revenue with nationwide distribution at major retailers like Walmart and Target. However, those profits get reinvested into expansion and subsidizing the media operation rather than going to Donaldson's personal account.This isn't Donaldson's first public admission about his cash situation. In 2025, he revealed he had to borrow money from his mother for his upcoming wedding to fiancée Thea Booysen. He's also previously stated he has less than one million dollars in his personal bank account and tries to pay himself only enough monthly to break even.Thanks for tuning in to this update on MrBeast.

In this video, I share how my family reached a $1,000,000 net worth as a welder with no college degree. Ten years ago we had less than $100,000 saved, two young kids, and a stay-at-home wife. I break down the simple habits that worked for us, the mistakes that cost me money, and what I would focus on if I were starting over today.

There's a lot of noise in the investing world, but building wealth doesn't have to become a second job. In this episode, I share how to invest simply, consistently, and with your family's future in mind, without stress or constant decision-making. In today's episode, I sit down with Blake Edwards from Georgia, who has built an $865,000 net worth by age 31. Blake breaks down how intentional income growth, living below their means, and staying aligned as a couple helped accelerate their wealth. He also shares a transparent look at his family's assets, approach to generosity, and what generational wealth really means to him beyond the numbers. I wrap up with a Money Quiz, testing my son Calvin on Stranger Things revenue, compound interest, and the gap between race prizes and investment returns. If you want real-life inspiration and practical proof that calm, consistent investing works, even with a busy family and W-2 jobs, this episode will encourage you to stay the course and keep moving forward.

If you've ever opened your banking app and felt your stomach drop — like the number on the screen said something about who you are — this episode is for you. Many of us have absorbed a quiet but destructive belief: that financial success equals personal value. That debt means you're irresponsible. That renting means you're behind. That earning less means you're not trying hard enough. And that belief doesn't just hurt emotionally — it shapes how we spend, save, work, and make decisions every day. In this episode, we pull that belief apart and put money back where it belongs. Your net worth is a number. It's data. It is not a moral scorecard, a personality test, or a measure of your worth as a human being. We talk about where this belief comes from, how it shows up as money shame, avoidance, overspending, comparison, and fear-based decision making, and the real cost of living this way — lost peace, strained relationships, and the constant feeling of never being enough. Then we get practical. I walk you through how to separate the math from the meaning, how to look at your finances without spiraling, how to set boundaries and say no without over-explaining, and how to build a sense of worth that isn't dependent on your bank balance, income, or credit score. This isn't about pretending money doesn't matter. It does. But it was never meant to define you. Money is a tool.You are the treasure. Talkin' Points → where your money gets smarter.

What if there was a third option between grinding it out in corporate life and chasing extreme early retirement? What if you could work less, be more present with your family, and still feel confident about your financial future? In today's episode, I join Paula Pant on her top-ranked podcast, Afford Anything, to talk about the middle ground between traditional employment and full FIRE. We dive into Coast FIRE, part-time work, and what it really takes to own your time while raising kids. I share how my wife and I structured our lives to both work part time, stay involved with our kids, and still build long term wealth without burning out. This conversation is part of our Best of MKM series and was originally recorded live at FinCon in Portland. Paula and I walk through my 10-step framework for owning your time, including how to reduce financial anxiety, eliminate debt, invest with intention, and design a three-day work week that supports your family and your health. We also talk candidly about parenting, identity, lifestyle tradeoffs, and how to model a life of freedom and generosity for your kids. If you are tired of living for the weekend and want a realistic path to more time freedom, this conversation will open your eyes to what is possible. CHAPTERS

What if you could reach a point where your investments were doing the heavy lifting and you could finally slow down without falling behind? Would you keep pushing forward, or would you take the exit and design a life that fits right now? In today's episode, Anders Skagerberg shares how he and his wife reached Coast FIRE in their early thirties and made the intentional decision to downshift. Instead of continuing to save aggressively, they chose to prioritize time, flexibility, and family while letting compound growth work in the background. Anders explains what Coast FIRE really looks like in real life and how it gave his family options instead of pressure. This episode is part of our Best of MKM series and was originally recorded in 2023. A short clip from this conversation took off on YouTube, so we decided to bring you the full story. Anders breaks down his Coast FIRE numbers, the accounts he uses, how he and his wife communicate about money, and why taking the Coast FIRE exit does not have to be permanent. If you are Coast FIRE curious or wondering whether you can have both freedom today and security tomorrow, this conversation will help you think differently about what is possible. CHAPTERS

Wall Street to Dubai isn't just a headline — it's the real-life journey of Tan Gera, a former investment banker who lost everything in the 2018 crypto crash… and then rebuilt from the ground up. In this episode, Tan breaks down how he walked away from a traditional Wall Street career, turned $57,000 into millions, and went on to build a global crypto education company. He shares the hard lessons from losing seven figures, navigating bank shutdowns and payment processor freezes, and why most people misunderstand how real wealth is actually built in crypto. Tan also explains why environment beats intelligence, how entrepreneurship fueled his crypto strategy, and why your network is your net worth when it comes to long-term success, capital, and opportunity. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone questioning the 9–5 path, looking beyond crypto hype, or trying to position themselves for the next wave of digital wealth.

Why do most businesses fail—even when founders are working nonstop and doing “everything right”? In this episode, Paul Alex sits down with Eddie Hartman, co-founder of LegalZoom, to break down why 72% of businesses don't make it and what separates sustainable companies from the rest. Eddie explains why pricing is often misunderstood, how entrepreneurs confuse value with revenue, and why relying on a single growth engine eventually stalls most businesses. Drawing from his experience building LegalZoom and advising founders at every stage, he shares practical frameworks around perceived value, customer retention, negotiation, and profitable growth. If you're an entrepreneur, business owner, or leader trying to scale without burning out or bleeding profit, this episode will challenge how you think about sales, pricing, and long-term strategy.

High performance doesn't always equal fulfillment—and for many men, success at work hides chaos at home. In this episode, Mitchell Osmond breaks down why so many driven, high-achieving men feel disconnected in their marriages, overwhelmed in their personal lives, and silently burned out despite outward success. Mitchell shares his raw journey from financial stress, addiction, and near divorce to rebuilding his mindset, body, marriage, and leadership from the inside out. We dive deep into radical ownership, identity, unhealed childhood trauma, masculine purpose, and why discipline without inner work eventually collapses. Mitchell explains how men can lead powerfully in business without sacrificing their family, health, or peace of mind—and why true leadership always starts at home. This conversation is for men who are winning publicly but struggling privately—and are ready to fix the real problem.

What does it really mean to be “almost a millionaire”? And is that number as important as the freedom you gain along the way? In today's episode, Joshua Weekley shares how he and his wife built a net worth of nearly $1 million by age 35 without extreme deprivation or risky bets. Instead of chasing shortcuts, Joshua focused on consistent habits, automation, and learning how to control his money so it could support the life he wanted with his family. This episode is part of our Best of MKM series and was originally released last year. It quickly became one of our most popular and highly viewed interviews because of its honesty, relatability, and practical approach to wealth building. Joshua opens up about growing up around money stress, learning from what his parents did and did not do with finances, and why net worth became a powerful motivator for reclaiming his time. He also breaks down exactly where his money is today, including home equity, retirement accounts, brokerage investments, and cash. Most importantly, he explains why wealth is built milestone by milestone, not overnight. If you are working toward your first $1,000 emergency fund or closing in on your first million, this conversation is a powerful reminder that every step forward matters. CHAPTERS

Most people don't fail because of lack of effort, motivation, or discipline — they fail because of a belief they don't even know they have. In this episode, Paul Alex sits down with Shelly Lefkoe, co-founder of the Lefkoe Institute and one of the world's leading experts on eliminating limiting beliefs. With over 35 years of experience, Shelly breaks down how unconscious beliefs are formed, why positive thinking doesn't work, and how the stories you absorbed early in life may still be controlling your success today. You'll hear real examples of how beliefs like “I'm not good enough,” “mistakes are bad,” and “success requires suffering” silently drive procrastination, burnout, fear, and self-sabotage — even in high achievers and entrepreneurs. Shelly also explains the critical difference between behavior patterns and beliefs, and why lasting change only happens when beliefs are eliminated at the root. If you've ever felt stuck repeating the same cycles, pushing harder without real progress, or wondering why you know what to do but still don't do it — this conversation will hit home.

Rose went from six figures of debt to building a seven-figure net worth, not by chasing flashy investments or overnight wins, but by radically rethinking her relationship with money, work, and freedom.In this conversation, Rose shares the mindset shifts that helped her escape debt, why income alone doesn't equal wealth, how she built assets from scratch with almost no capital, and why even after “making it,” she chose to recalibrate her definition of enough.We also talk about rewriting the financial rules millennials inherited, betting on yourself in an uncertain economy, and how to build a life that feels rich — not just one that looks rich.

Innovation doesn't fail because companies lack ideas—it fails because leadership and culture aren't built to support change. In this episode, Paul Alex sits down with Bud Caddell, founder of NOBL (nobl.io), to break down what actually stops organizations from executing on bold ideas. Bud shares real-world lessons from working with global brands and fast-growing companies, explaining how misaligned incentives, poor leadership behaviors, and broken decision-making systems quietly kill innovation. He also reveals what leaders must do differently to build cultures where change doesn't just start—but actually sticks. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a team leader, or building from the ground up, this conversation will reshape how you think about leadership, culture, and execution. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Carl and Laurel are crushing it with nearly $200,000 in household income and have already paid off over $100,000 in student loans.

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.

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!
