When Kevin Zych left his corporate job three years ago to become a full-time live event illustrator, he had just enough proof of concept from brand sponsorships to believe he could make it work.In this episode, Kevin shares his unconventional path from English major to Zen monk to professional street artist, revealing how he built a creative career around "reportage illustration". He discusses the practical realities of going full-time creative without a plan, why he believes art creates human connection, and how his time as a Zen monastic shaped his philosophy of embracing risk and immediacy in both art and career decisions and much more.

I was able to save money even when I was only making $22,000 a year—and it all came down to one powerful habit: sending my money to the right places as soon as I got paid. That simple shift changed everything in my wealth-building journey, and it's a system I still use today.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ How to effectively allocate your paycheck to cover both your living expenses and your long-term money goals. ✅ The difference between emergency savings and unexpected expense savings—and why you need both. ✅ Practical strategies for paying off debt without derailing your other financial priorities.You'll also hear how I personally broke down my $700 biweekly paycheck when I first started, what worked (and what didn't), and how this system created clarity and consistency with my money.If you're ready to stop letting money slip through your fingers and start building a system that actually works for you, I invite you to join my 1:1 money coaching program.

What happens when a teacher maxes out credit cards and takes loans against retirement to break free from the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle—and it actually works? In this episode, Angel Williams sits down with Bethany Finch of American Made Home Solutions to explore the raw reality of transitioning from teaching to real estate investing. Bethany opens up about the financial struggles that pushed her to take massive action, the coaching that kept her accountable, and the contractor nightmares that nearly broke her spirit.

Romy (38) and Travis (37) are a married couple living in Cape Town—but despite earning over $130,000 a year, they're constantly running on empty. Romy feels the crushing weight of managing everything alone, while Travis avoids financial planning and insists things will “just work out.” Together, they've repeated the exact same dynamic Romy grew up with—right down to the hidden savings and anxious sleepless nights. Can they stop playing financial whack-a-mole and finally build a system that supports their future dreams, or will history keep repeating itself? In this episode we uncover: • Why Travis believes he can always “go fishing” to make money—and how that mindset creates instability. • How growing up with financial chaos shaped both of their attitudes toward money and planning. • The emotional weight Romy carries by being the only one thinking about the future. • Romy's secret UK savings account—why she kept it hidden, and what happened to the money. • Their chaotic approach to buying property—and why they can't clearly say if it's for living or investing. • How disorganized thinking shows up in everything from taxes to tipping the valet. • The truth about their emergency fund (or lack thereof)—and the very real risks they face. • Why Travis's role as the “reassurer” actually prevents change—and how Romy feels trapped by it. • How Ramit challenges Travis to redefine generosity without spending money. • The first steps they take toward rebuilding trust and creating a shared financial system.

What happens when you devote your life to raising a family—stepping away from the workforce, supporting your partner's career, managing the household—only to realize one day that you have no financial autonomy? That you've been left in the dark about your own future?In this episode, we're joined by Anna Goff, a former stay-at-home mom turned fierce financial advocate, who opens up about her own journey through marriage, motherhood, and an eye-opening divorce. Anna's story is raw and revealing, and it underscores a reality too many women face: being financially vulnerable in a relationship, especially without a paycheck of their own.We unpack what true partnership looks like, how to create transparency around money before it's too late, and the exact steps Anna recommends for any caregiver or non-earning partner to protect themselves—emotionally, legally, and financially.Anna also shares details about her accessible and deeply practical course, Protect Yourself Without a Paycheck, designed for women navigating these exact challenges.

The Real Talk on Real Engagement Myth-Busting Moment: Just because someone shows up and collects a paycheck doesn't mean they're invested in your mission. In fact, nearly 20% are actively working against you - ouch! The Relationship Revolution: Our panel discovered that the most engaging workplaces aren't about the work itself - they're about the people around you. From bosses who pour into your potential to leaders who create environments where engagement can actually flourish, it's all about human connection. The Coaching Corner: Stop trying to force motivation and start hiring motivated people. Then create the conditions where they can choose to be fully present and invested. The Bottom Line Engagement isn't something you do TO people - it's something you create space FOR people to choose. The difference between a paycheck-collector and a passionate contributor? Leadership that sees potential, builds relationships, and treats work as a calling, not just a job. Tune in for: ✅The brutal truth about why most employees are mentally checked out ✅How to spot and nurture those "almost engaged" team members ✅Real strategies for creating environments where people WANT to be invested ✅When to stay in a toxic situation vs. when to run for the hills ✅The secret to hiring people who are already wired to care Ready to stop settling for warm bodies and start building a team that actually gives a damn? This episode is your wake-up call.

New job, more income — now what? Hear how one listener is managing his Roth IRA, health savings account, high-yield savings, and more. Is it smart to use a Roth IRA like a savings account? How should you prioritize your money across savings, debt, and retirement after getting a higher-paying job? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola answer a listener's question about managing multiple financial goals and choosing the right accounts for short- and long-term needs. But first, they share their money hot takes, including Elizabeth's thoughts on Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) loans and Sean's interest in stronger pro-consumer protections in light of recent federal rollbacks. Then, they talk to listener Jake, who recently relocated for a new job and is navigating how to allocate his money now that he's earning a bigger paycheck. Jake wants to know if it makes sense to use a Roth IRA for savings and how to simplify or optimize his mix of bank accounts. They cover how to prioritize emergency savings, retirement contributions, and future goals like a home purchase, all while avoiding analysis paralysis and making the most of high-yield savings accounts.

My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today!Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1802"A decade of sacrifice. If you put in that decade of spending less and earning more, and you take this money and instead of buying that Gucci, you go out and you buy these assets - now those assets are paying you monthly or quarterly, and you can spend that money on whatever you want." - Jaspreet SinghJaspreet Singh built his wealth by understanding something most people ignore: recessions aren't random disasters - they're predictable patterns that happen every decade. While others panic when markets crash, he sees opportunity. But here's what separates him from everyone else giving financial advice: he doesn't just tell you to "invest more." He breaks down the brutal truth about why most people stay broke even when they make good money, and reveals the three-step system that turns financial chaos into wealth-building momentum. His story isn't about getting lucky or having a trust fund - it's about recognizing that building wealth works like building physical health, except with one massive advantage: the results compound forever.What makes this conversation different is how Jaspreet flips the script on traditional money advice. Instead of focusing on budgeting and penny-pinching, he shows you how to think like wealthy people who build "reserves" that keep paying them even when they stop working. You'll discover why the longest period without a recession in modern history just ended, what that means for your money right now, and the exact strategy he used to find profitable real estate deals even during the hottest housing market ever. This isn't about sacrificing everything you enjoy - it's about understanding the difference between spending money and investing it, so your future self can afford whatever you want.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

After 40 years of saving diligently, listener Jeff is retiring next month—and like many new retirees, he's asking the question the industry rarely answers: How do I actually spend my 401(k)? In this episode, Pete and Damian walk through the critical decisions that come after the last paycheck: how much to withdraw, which accounts to pull from first, and how to invest your portfolio for a retirement that could last 30+ years. From the 4% rule to bucket strategies and tax-efficient withdrawal planning, we're breaking down the complex into the practical. Whether retirement is right around the corner or still a decade away, this episode will help you think differently about what it means to turn savings into sustainable income.

When it comes to money, most people are searching for two things: security and peace of mind. That's understandable—life is unpredictable, expenses arise, and markets swing. But what if true peace isn't found in your circumstances at all?Financial wisdom doesn't start with a budget or a savings plan. It begins with trust—specifically, trusting in the Lord. Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”If you chase peace through your paycheck or portfolio, you'll always come up short. But when Christ is your foundation, you begin to see money in a new light—not as a source of peace, but as a tool to steward.Five Secrets to Financial Wisdom from God's Word1. Know Who Owns It All. Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it.” Everything belongs to God—your income, your retirement, even your ability to earn. That means we're not owners; we're stewards, entrusted with God's resources to manage faithfully.2. Spend With Purpose. Jesus asks in Luke 16:11, “If you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?” Spending should reflect God's priorities—giving, saving, living within your means, and investing in eternal impact.3. Avoid the Slavery of Debt. Proverbs 22:7 warns, “The borrower is slave to the lender.” Debt can limit your freedom to give and respond to God's calling. Wise stewards build margin and pursue freedom—not because debt is always wrong, but because freedom is better.4. Save With Perspective. Proverbs 21:20 says, “The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.” Saving isn't about hoarding; it's preparation for what God might have ahead. But remember: your security isn't in your savings—it's in the Savior.5. Give First, and Freely. 2 Corinthians 9:7 tells us, “God loves a cheerful giver.” Generosity reflects God's heart. It breaks the grip of greed and aligns us with His Kingdom. When we give, we declare, “God, I trust You more than I trust this money.”Anchored in ChristFollowing these biblical principles won't guarantee worldly success. Even the most faithful stewards face trials. But when your foundation is Christ, you're anchored. Isaiah 33:6 says, “He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge.”So if you're looking for security or peace, don't start with a spreadsheet—start with surrender. Financial wisdom begins when you recognize that your Provider is also your Redeemer. And in Him, you have more than enough.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My deceased friend's estate is in probate, and he owned an LLC registered in another state. I've been told that if a new manager isn't appointed, the LLC will be considered closed after 90 days.

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.Have you ever felt like a powerful leader at work but completely powerless at home? This disconnect isn't just uncomfortable—it's undermining your influence in every aspect of life. Leadership doesn't end when you drop your keys on the counter; true masculine leadership begins within the four walls where you live.The painful truth is that many men have reduced their family role to mere physical presence and financial provision. We believe showing up and paying bills equals leadership, but our families need so much more. They're watching how we handle pressure, communicate through conflict, and whether we're emotionally available or just occupying space on the couch while scrolling through our phones.Today's episode dismantles common myths about power and control that sabotage your home leadership. Authentic authority isn't built through domination but through deeper connection. When you ask, "What do you need from me right now?" instead of defensively asserting your position, you transform family dynamics. Vulnerability becomes your strength, not your weakness—it's what builds the trust and intimacy your relationships desperately need.The story of James, a high-performing executive who realized his success at work meant failure at home, illustrates this journey perfectly. His wake-up call came when overhearing his son say, "I don't think Dad likes being at home." Through intentional presence, consistent engagement, and emotional transparency, James rebuilt his family relationships without sacrificing his professional success.Ready to become the leader your family deserves?

In this installment of our Payroll Brass Tax podcast series, Mike Mahoney (shareholder, Morristown/New York) and Stephen Kenney (associate, Dallas) discuss the many issues that come into play when determining how to make the final wage payment for a deceased employee. They outline a three-step process for handling these payments: 1) review state and federal laws to determine who is entitled to receive the final paycheck, how much can be paid, and the timing of the payment; 2) obtain the necessary documentation to release the final wages and verify the legal right of the beneficiary or estate representative to receive the payment; and 3) communicate clearly with beneficiaries or estate representatives to ensure they understand the process and requirements for receiving the final wage payment.

People don't just want a paycheck — they want purpose.A paycheck gets compliance. But purpose? That gets commitment.Mission-driven workers are 54% more likely to stay long-term.
