Podcasts about paychecks

Seventy percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck—and it’s not just a “low-income” problem. In this episode, John Hope Bryant brings in two Hope Financial Coaches from Operation HOPE, who are on the front lines helping everyday people rebuild credit, start real businesses, escape financial trauma, and become homeowners. From refugees and survivors of abuse to struggling entrepreneurs and working families, you’ll hear real stories of transformation—and the practical money lessons behind them. This conversation breaks down the difference between hustle and business, cash flow and profit, income and wealth, and explains why mindset, coaching, and financial literacy—not just money—are the real keys to economic freedom. If you’ve ever felt stuck, ashamed, or overwhelmed by money, this episode will remind you that with the right guidance, your financial reset is possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textWhat happens when the corporate climb stops feeling like success and starts sounding like a countdown? Vlad Tayman reached that edge—under a CEO, high pay, higher cortisol—then hit a wall that made him question everything. From medical leave to the fear of being quietly replaced, he turned toward a path that didn't demand more hours but asked for better systems: selling options premium for steady, probability-based income.We walk through the exact thinking that replaced “get rich quick” with “get paid predictably.” Vlad breaks down premium selling in plain English—how money hits your account upfront, why probabilities matter more than predictions, and the guardrails that keep greed in check. He explains why one-on-one coaching compressed years of trial and error into months, the step-by-step progression from swing trading to cash-flow strategies, and the business metrics he uses to target consistent 8–10 percent monthly returns while protecting capital. You'll hear how compounding becomes a force-multiplier, with real client examples that turned small accounts into meaningful second incomes.But this isn't just about trades. We talk mental health and the trap of business, building optionality to calm anxiety, and the habits that keep you steady: tracking steps and macros, using a treadmill desk to reclaim time, and practicing proactive communication that strengthens relationships. Vlad shares his approach to contribution through mentorship and the quiet spiritual practices—reflection, gratitude, long walks—that keep him grounded. If you've felt the rumble of layoffs, AI reshaping roles, or the weight of living paycheck to paycheck, this conversation gives you a pragmatic way to build resilience and choice.Want to learn the strategy and see it live?

Shane Boston loved cowboying but to support his family he took a job at a concrete plant. He started at the bottom but it was a good secure paycheck. He was young and hungry with a good work ethic and soon worked his way up through the ranks but after a while he began to notice his paycheck wasn't as secure as he thought. Shane saw how replaceable you could be to a company so he decided he needed to build something of his own. Southern Welding was born. Through lots of struggle, hard work, and mentorship they found success in their niche. He's since been able to build his own ranching and horse operation, Southern Ranches. They've made a huge splash in the rope horse world.

WNBA star Lexie Brown joins Joy Taylor for a raw, unfiltered Two Personal interview — and nothing is off limits. From the WNBA's “feminine era” to league gatekeeping, player relationships, NIL money, Crohn's disease, dating as a pro athlete, and the reality of social media trolls — Lexie holds NOTHING back. Lexie explains why the WNBA finally stopped gatekeeping players' personalities, how femininity is finally being embraced, and the truth behind the public feud involving the commissioner. She also breaks down the new wave of fans, the impact of NIL on women's sports, and why players deserve real revenue sharing — not “be grateful and quiet.” Joy and Lexie then go deep into dating, monogamy, sex expectations, cheating, “fake pages,” male loneliness, why men don't have friends, and the internet's obsession with women's bodies.

When it comes to empathy at work, there are a hundred different ways to infuse empathy into your operations and systems - in real, practical, non-emotional ways. One of those ways is to look at compensation strategies and professional growth and development.Today, Scott Trumpolt talks about empathy in compensation that leads to better employee engagement and more strategic growth. We discuss both the pitfalls of pay transparency leading to a dead end, but also the upside in how it catalyzes your company to reflect on and improve internal practices. He talks about how compensation is more than just salary, and the overlooked piece of career architecture - a concept that supports the Clarity pillar of empathetic leadership. Scott shares why programs fail, but culture shifts succeed, the #1 element to think about in determining competitive compensation structures, and why empathy is vital to ensure that compensation is about a one-on-one conversation and not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Scott also shares how HR leaders can strengthen credibility with business leaders and move the needle on company growth.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…Driving solutions aimed at employee engagement.Why compensation is not a one-size-fits-all solution and needs to be tailored to your employees and organization.Balancing pay transparency and directing packages and compensation for the individuals.Why job titles and compensation matter."There's a reason why compensation is not in finance. Yes, I use a lot of numbers, but we do it in a completely different way, and we are impacting the individual directly." — Scott TrumpoltEpisode References: Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel PinkThe Empathy Edge: Rhonda George-Denniston: Why Betting on Your People Leads to Market DominationAbout Scott Trumpolt, Managing Director & Compensation Consultant:Scott Trumpolt's career is defined by a seamless evolution from corporate leadership to independent consultancy, reflecting over 30 years of expertise in compensation planning, HR leadership, and rewards strategies.

If you’ve ever looked at your payslip and thought “there’s no way I can build anything on this,” this diary is the proof you need. Our Money Diarist started on eight dollars an hour at Macca’s, saved like a girl with a plan, and built a foundation that most of us don’t hit until our thirties.... and she did it before she could legally rent a car. This episode is packed with the stuff that actually matters when you’re starting small. The tiny habits that added up to her first thirty thousand dollars. The mindset that kept her choosing long-term wins over short-term fun. The discipline she built on a low wage that turned out to be her biggest superpower once her income jumped. If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll start saving “when you earn more,” this diary will change your whole perspective, and maybe your next pay cycle too. If you want the motivation to start with what you’ve got, this diary will light that fire. Ready to binge more relatable, inspiring, and downright juicy money stories?

The Power of a Second Income — Why One Paycheck Is the Biggest Financial Risk of Your Life Depending on a single income stream today is like walking a tightrope with no safety net. Corporate layoffs. Rising cost of living. Entire industries shifting overnight. So here's the real question:

It's important to know who we work for. I don't mean the name of your boss or the name of your company. I mean, who is your company? What do they stand for? What do they support with their profits? We need to know everything about the company where we invest 40 to 50 hours weekly. I'm just saying you need to be aware of the company you're working for to make sure that they're not taking your hard-earned hours and turning them into a campaign to destroy the biblical worldview that this great country was founded upon. Who do you work for, really? It is a really important question to ask. If you are already in a job with a company that does not honor God, see how you can make a difference. But if you're searching for work, choose wisely because you were called to be a good steward, including where you invest your work time. 

There's something deeply counterintuitive about generosity in our modern world. We've been taught that security comes from accumulation, that freedom is measured by our bank balance, and that the path to happiness is paved with purchases. Yet research in neuroscience, psychology, and happiness studies consistently reveals what Scripture has been declaring for thousands of years: when we give, we flourish.__________Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.
