He helps them untangle the deep wounds, attachment patterns, and spiritual beliefs that shape how we handle money.

Doug shares how the Enneagram and attachment theory can help us make sense of our financial habits and, more importantly, heal them. He offers a vision of financial health that's rooted in authenticity, generosity, and service to a broken world. If you've ever felt anxious around money, avoided looking at your bank account, or struggled to align your finances with your deepest values join us. Doug Lynam graduated at the top of his class from Marine Corps Officer Candidate School in 1995, then turned down his commission to become a Benedictine monk. During his 20-year monastic journey, he headed the mathematics department at a prestigious private school while helping his community recover from bankruptcy. After leaving the monastery in 2017, he joined LongView Asset Management in Santa Fe, New Mexico—a sustainability-focused B Corp—where he helped manage over a quarter-billion in assets.

Jesse explores the timeless wisdom of Warren Buffett, highlighting both his disciplined investment philosophy and his unwavering emphasis on trust and character. Jesse breaks down Buffett's approach to buying great businesses at fair prices, holding them long-term, and focusing on intrinsic value, margin of safety, and staying within one's circle of competence. He also examines Buffett's early warnings about derivatives as speculative tools that undermine market integrity, and how Buffett built Berkshire Hathaway not just through smart investing, but through a foundation of honesty, patience, and reputation. It's a masterclass in both investing and living with principle. This is essential listening for any long-term investor. Key Takeaways: • Buffett's strategy is rooted in rational behavior, long-term thinking, and ignoring short-term market noise. • Berkshire Hathaway's success is largely driven by acquiring whole companies and investing in businesses with strong fundamentals and leadership. • Buffett's “circle of competence” encourages investors to focus only on areas they truly understand, rather than pretending to know it all. • Buffett's legacy is built as much on ethics as on economics, showing that consistent honesty and long-term thinking pay off in every area. • Buffett rejects the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), arguing that markets are often irrational and can be outsmarted with discipline and patience. • Jesse ties Buffett's lessons back to personal finance and life, reminding listeners that reputation, trust, and a patient mindset are moats we can all build—no billions required.

In this conversation, Jim and Glenn Yaney discuss the journey to financial independence through real estate and the Infinite Banking Concept. Glenn shares how he moved beyond conventional financial advice, took control of his capital, and built sustainable wealth with cash-flowing assets. His story is a direct challenge to the status quo—and a blueprint for ownership. 3 Key Takeaways: Traditional advice doesn't build freedom: Years of 401(k) contributions left Glenn with illiquid assets. It was business and real estate ownership that created true independence. The cost of inaction is control: Glenn used tax strategies to move capital out of retirement accounts and into mobile home parks and apartments—multiplying income and gaining access. Proximity is leverage: By surrounding himself with people who were already financially free, Glenn accelerated his learning and took confident action toward breaking away from his W-2. Glenn Yaney didn't wait—he took control, broke from the herd, and built real freedom through ownership and cash flow. If you're still following the conventional path, ask yourself: is it really working? It's time to think different. It's time to own your future.

“There is not good or bad with money” Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with financial therapist Wendy Wright to unpack the emotional complexities that often underlie our financial behaviors. Wendy believes that money issues aren't just math problems—they're emotional ones too! Rather than focusing on dollars and cents alone, Wendy helps her clients understand why they avoid budgeting, overspend in emotional moments, or feel incapable of managing money. Her mantra? “Abundant, compassionate curiosity and zero judgment.” Wendy discusses common patterns like the belief of being “bad with money,” the influence of childhood messages, and the emotional burden of debt. She advocates for intentionality, self-awareness, and sustainability over perfection, as well as financial journaling and identifying emotional triggers to help people rewrite their “money stories” and build healthier, more resilient habits. “Nothing's going to work for you if it's not sustainable.” Healing your relationship with money begins with something as small as a $10 weekly savings goal. It's totally unhelpful to label yourself as “good” or “bad” with money. Personal finance is a deeply personal journey that benefits from reflection, not just spreadsheets. Whether you're confronting debt, struggling with avoidance, or simply seeking a more peaceful relationship with money, give yourself permission to start exactly where you are—with grace.   Key Topics: Wendy's Financial Therapy Framework (03:20) Avoidance and Emotional Burdens (08:39) The “Bad with Money” Myth (10:45) Algorithmic Influences on Money Shame (13:22) Debt, Shame, and Sustainability (15:10) Money as a Tool, Not a Goal (31:28) Where to Begin: Curiosity, Not Judgment (34:14) Resources: WendyWrightFinancialTherapy.com     If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

In this episode, Jim Oliver and cohost Nick Kosko explore how the principle of Economic Value Added (EVA), widely used by corporations, can be applied to personal finance. They challenge conventional financial advice, specifically addressing the hidden cost of capital and its implications for wealth-building strategies like Infinite Banking. Key Takeaways: Understanding EVA: EVA is calculated using three components—Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT), cost of capital, and capital employed—and helps determine whether an enterprise is generating true value. Your Family is a Business: Just like a corporation, your household economy should account for the cost of capital to ensure efficient use of resources and long-term wealth accumulation. Lost Opportunity Cost: Paying with cash may seem simple, but it often ignores the potential returns that capital could have generated if deployed differently, leading to underestimated financial losses. Jim and Nick make the case that applying corporate finance principles like EVA to your personal finances isn't just possible—it's essential. By recognizing your family as an economic entity and accounting for the true cost of capital, you can make more informed decisions that align with long-term wealth creation.  The key isn't just about how much money you make, but how efficiently you deploy and grow that capital over time.
