You said yes before you even checked. You know you want to go. You know you'll figure it out. But somewhere in the back of your head, there's this low hum of uncertainty that follows you the whole time — and it takes the edge off the fun.A few weeks ago, a friend texted me about a beach trip for the Fourth of July. It was an immediate yes. No hesitation. But before I sent that confirmation text, I asked for a few days to look at the numbers. In this episode, I breaks down exactly what happened when I sat down to do that money check-in, what I found, what I adjusted, and why my husband didn't quite get it at first. I also explains the difference between asking "can we afford this?" and asking "how are we going to cash flow this and still hit our wealth goals?" — because those are two very different questions, and only one of them actually builds wealth.You'll learn:✅ Why "can we afford it" is not the right benchmark if you are serious about building wealth✅ What it actually looks like to cash flow a fun expense without derailing your goals✅ Why a 20 to 30 minute money check-in, asking yourself the right questions, before a big decision can give you total peace for the whole trip✅ How to give every version of yourself — present you, future you, mom you, wealth-building you — a seat at the tableIf you are the person who always figures it out later but never quite feels settled about it, this episode is going to hit home. The goal is not just to afford the trip. The goal is to enjoy it fully, knowing your numbers are already handled.Let's connect:Website: www.buildinggenwealth.comInstagram: @building.gen.wealthLearn more about 1:1 Money Coaching: www.buildinggenwealth.com/moneycoaching

What does real world STEM education look like in a high school where students run actual manufacturing contracts on industry-grade equipment, intern at MIT, and learn AI ethics alongside CAD? Joe Fatheree (Top 10 Global Teacher Prize, Illinois Teacher of the Year) and Dr. Mark Buckner (Smart Industry Top 50 Innovator, founder of Oak Ridge High School's iSchool and Wildcat Manufacturing) take Vicki inside a $1.25 million state grant program where 26 student-run contracts with 18 companies have produced near-net-shape metal 3D printing, augmented reality experiences, and graduates already working four to five years ahead of their college peers.

In Episode 185 of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, are recording live from Omaha at PodPony's studio during Carson's Q2 board meeting. They make a pilgrimage to the McDonald's on 40th and Dodge that Warren Buffett reportedly frequents. They got the scoop on his usual order, but did Buffett himself show up? You'll have to listen to find out!On the markets side, Ryan breaks down why the current secular bull market started in 2013 and what history says happens after you're up 100%, which is exactly where this bull market now stands from the October 2022 lows. The S&P just hit its 10th all-time high of the year, forward profit margins just reached a record 15.2%, and the data on "sell in May" may surprise you. Ryan's numbers show May has been up 12 of the last 13 years.The episode also covers the oil picture with WTI back near $100 and the Strait of Hormuz situation still unresolved, the consumer sentiment disconnect between how people feel and what retail sales are actually showing, and the Fed outlook heading into tomorrow's decision. Sonu explains why Kevin Walsh is leaning on trimmed mean PCE to justify rate cuts, and Ryan calls him out for putting everyone to sleep. Gold gets a candid look too, still in a long-term bull market but stretched after a massive run, with real rate pressure creating some short-term headwinds.Key Takeaways:The S&P 500 just hit its 10th all-time high of the year, and the bull market has officially crossed the 100% gain mark from the October 2022 lows.Forward profit margins just reached a record 15.2%, the highest ever recorded.Ryan makes the case that the current secular bull market began in 2013 and explains what history says comes next.Sell in May is largely a myth. May has been up 12 of the last 13 years.WTI is back near $100 and the Strait of Hormuz situation has not resolved the way markets hoped.Consumer sentiment remains near historic lows, but retail sales tell a very different story.Gold is still in a long-term bull market but faces short-term headwinds from real rate pressure after an extended run.Jump to:0:00 - Live from Omaha Setup 1:59 - All-Time Highs and Oil Shock 6:10 - Why Sentiment Feels So Low 11:27 - Board Meeting and Real Money 13:22 - Will AI Kill Investing Alpha? 16:09 - When Secular Bull Markets Start 21:00 - Global Breakouts and Gold Debate 22:36 - Rates, Inflation, and the Fed Shift 26:49 - Trimmed Mean PCE Explained 29:49 - Sell in May: Stats Check 32:58 - Bull Market Up 100% — Now What? 36:22 - McDonald's Hunt for Buffett 41:33 - Wrap-Up and DisclosuresConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

This is a special episode: Pardon the sound quality: This was a secret recording specifically for our students about creating and running your own tarot events. This lesson is broken down into four parts (you will want to take notes on this). There is a lot of ground to cover and every bit of it can save you real money and real headaches. You will learn the difference between events you participate in and events you organize yourself, and why knowing which one you are actually ready for matters. We examine your options as a participant: private tarot parties and psychic fairs, pop-up vendor events, and becoming a house reader at a local business. Then we get into the good stuff! This is a solid lecture on how to build your own event from scratch without burning through your budget before your first client ever walks through the door. That means finding the right host business, curating your vendors so everyone walks away happy, building a marketing machine that draws on the combined reach of every person at your event, and knowing your numbers before you commit to a single thing. We also cover how to price your time, how to turn every attendee into a referral source, and how to debrief after your first event so that everything that follows runs even smoother. After you listen, start your market research before you spend a dollar. Visit local events as a guest, talk to vendors, and watch what draws a crowd. Find one business in your area that already attracts the kind of people who would love what you do, and start a conversation. If you want the full course on how to get a lot of paying clients, come to our free Saturday workshops and ask Dusty, or sign up at easytarotlessons.com since it is already part of our tarot course. Once you are certified you can access our $5,000 course on landing lots of paying clients WITHOUT having to pay the five thousand dollar fee! Okay, thanks for being here!

Real estate developer Mike Nielson, CEO of LivAway Suites and West 77 Partners, explains economy extended stay hotels as a hybrid closer to multifamily than traditional lodging, serving essential-workforce and life-transition guests needing furnished stays from roughly 90 days to six months. He shares how COVID revealed the segment's resilience when traditional hotels collapsed, inspiring the mission to deliver a cleaner, safer, more consistent product for underserved customers. Nielson details LivAway's rapid growth since its first 2024 opening—over 100,000 room nights sold, eight hotels open, and additional properties in development nationwide—and credits vertical integration across brand, development, construction, and property management for consistency. He also recounts an early contractor bankruptcy crisis, his contrarian investing roots, a cash-on-cash-focused investor base, and advice on compounding experience and relationships over time.00:00 Why Build LivAway02:08 Extended Stay Explained03:19 Who Stays Here06:41 COVID Proof Demand11:20 Fixing A Broken Product11:58 Vertical Integration Edge14:41 Contrarian Origin Story17:21 Underwriting To Conviction26:28 Investor Mindset Cashflow29:52 Childhood And Football Drive34:48 Doubters As Fuel36:53 Why This Niche Wins37:49 Base Hits Not Home Runs38:31 Nature Versus Nurture40:01 Hard Work Childhood Lessons45:04 Work Smart And Risk46:46 Contractor Bankruptcy Crisis51:24 Paramedic Walk Leadership53:31 Riots And Broken Waterwalls01:00:27 Live Away Growth Vision01:03:35 Compounding Career Advice01:07:29 Final Wrap And Where To Follow

Landing that first job feels like the finish line, but for most young professionals, it is really just the beginning. In this episode, ⁠Xavier Angel⁠, CFP®, ChFC®, CLTC®, sits down with ⁠Christopher Bland⁠, PharmD, FCCP, FIDSA, BCPS, Albert W. Jowdy Professor in Pharmacy Care at the ⁠University of Georgia College of Pharmacy⁠, to unpack the real-world financial questions that pharmacists and other graduates face early in their careers. From understanding compensation packages to negotiating pay, evaluating retirement benefits, and using side income strategically, this conversation helps listeners look beyond the headline salary number and make more informed financial decisions from day one. The episode also dives into one of the biggest mindset shifts young earners need to make: high income does not equal wealth. Chris and Xavier discuss how lifestyle inflation, student debt, and poor planning can quietly eat away at even a strong paycheck, while time, discipline, and consistent investing can build real financial freedom over time. It's a practical, honest conversation designed to help young professionals turn early career income into long-term opportunity. Episode Highlights: Christopher shares the one financial lesson he wished he had fully embraced coming out of school: the more time money has to compound, the more profound the long-term impact. (04:00) Christopher breaks down salary versus hourly pay for new pharmacists, noting how hourly work creates flexibility to earn overtime, shift differentials, and supplemental income. (09:07) Christopher recounts landing his first job at the lowest pay tier and explains why the beginning of a career is the most powerful moment to negotiate compensation. (14:54) Christopher encourages students to lean on faculty and mentors for career opportunities, sharing how he connects students with prospects through his own network. (20:09) Xavier explains the difference between Traditional and Roth 401k contributions and stresses the importance of adding a beneficiary to retirement accounts from day one. (25:52) Christopher uses his son's first paycheck experience to illustrate why new earners need an automated plan for their money from the start. (31:32) Christopher outlines three practical steps for young pharmacists: leverage time for investing, negotiate confidently, and evaluate every aspect of a job beyond salary. (38:26) Key Quotes: “As you are young in your career, be developing skills. Seek out these opportunities, network, because then things will begin to flow to you, especially in years, like three to five.” - Christopher Bland, PharmD, FCCP, FIDSA, BCPS “No matter what degree of money you're making, if you have a plan, you're automatically giving yourself a raise.” - Christopher Bland, PharmD, FCCP, FIDSA, BCPS “I want healthcare professionals, pharmacists, to really take ownership of this topic. We work too hard. You've gone to school for too long, to not have a plan for financial freedom and wealth long term.” - Christopher Bland, PharmD, FCCP, FIDSA, BCPS Resources Mentioned: ⁠Christopher Bland, PharmD, FCCP, FIDSA, BCPS⁠ ⁠University of Georgia College of Pharmacy⁠ ⁠Erik Garcia, CFP®, BFA⁠ ⁠Xavier Angel, CFP®, ChFC, CLTC⁠ ⁠Plan Wisely Wealth Advisors⁠

What happens when money struggles, relationship patterns, and personal history all collide in the same room? In this wide-ranging and deeply human conversation, Rick Kahler sits down with Dr. Megan Ford to explore how financial therapy grew out of systems thinking, why “fixing one person” rarely fixes anything, and how our earliest money wounds quietly shape our adult lives. Megan shares her journey from marriage and family therapy into financial therapy, including her own money avoidance and the self-work required to become an effective healer. Together, they unpack the importance of therapists and financial professionals doing their own inner work, the role of evidence-based practice in financial therapy, and why lasting financial change almost always requires looking inward—not just at numbers, but at relationships, beliefs, and emotional patterns that drive financial behavior. #FinancialTherapy #MoneyPsychology #MoneyMindset #BehavioralFinance #EmotionalMoney #MoneyStories #MoneyWounds #FinancialHealing A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive our money decisions.

Money conversations are emotional for any family—but in blended families, they often come with added layers of loss, loyalty, and complexity.In this episode of Real Money, Real Experts, Dr. Brandy Baxter and Rachael DeLeon are joined by Mikel Van Cleve, CFP®, PhD candidate at Texas Tech University and U.S. Coast Guard veteran, to unpack the unique financial and emotional dynamics of blended families.Drawing from both research and lived experience—what Michael calls “me-search”—the conversation explores why traditional financial advice doesn't always work for blended families, common emotional landmines around money, and how assumptions about “joint finances” can unintentionally create conflict. Mikel shares practical tools financial professionals can use, including the three-bucket money approach, genograms, money dates, and role-playing exercises, to foster communication, transparency, and trust.Whether you're a financial practitioner working with blended families or someone navigating one yourself, this episode offers actionable insights, empathy-driven strategies, and a powerful reminder: blended families aren't broken or abnormal—they're simply different, and they deserve planning approaches that reflect that reality.Show Notes:01:26 – Meet Mikel Van Cleve, CFP®03:05 – How Mikel's lived experience shaped his research05:18 – Why blended families are often overlooked in financial planning07:52 – Emotional and financial landmines blended families face11:48 – Rethinking joint finances in blended families13:02 – The three-bucket money approach explained18:44 – Why practitioner bias matters when working with blended families23:36 – Tools for navigating emotionally charged money conversations26:08 – Mikel's 2 CentsShow Note Links:Learn more about Mikel's workRead Mikel's work! Connect with Mikel! Want to get involved with AFCPE®?Here are a few places to start: Become a Member, Sign up for an Essentials Course, or Get AFC Certified today!

When you plan your exit early, every decision in your practice starts to work differently.  Building a practice to sell - with “the end in mind” - is a cultural thing that shapes and improves everything.   Production, delivery, systems, team, collections and profit all go up; but so does impact, fulfillment and fun. Dr. Stephen sits down with Dr. Stuart Bernsen to break down what real exit planning looks like for chiropractic practices today. They unpack the difference between owning a job and building a business, why most practices never sell, and how private equity and rollups are already reshaping chiropractic. You'll hear how Dr. Stuart scaled Chiro One from a single practice to a multi-state platform, what investors actually look for, and why exit readiness creates freedom long before you ever sell. This conversation reframes exit planning as a growth strategy, not a finish line. Interested in learning more about corporate roll-ups?  Would you like to make a bigger income today - and a sexier exit tomorrow?  Want to know how to engineer your own Remarkable Exit?  This episode is for you.In this episode you will• Understand why most chiropractic practices never sell and what creates real value• Learn the difference between a Main Street exit and a Wall Street exit• See how exit readiness improves profit, freedom, and options today• Discover what investors look for when buying chiropractic businesses• Learn how to shift from owner-operator to true business owner Episode Highlights00:54 – Why exit planning needs to start while you are still actively growing your practice02:30 – How moving from clinician to CEO is an unavoidable shift as a practice scales05:12 – Why many chiropractors reach a point where their practice becomes too large to sell06:36 – How building standardized systems creates leverage beyond the owner09:17 – Why business breakpoints are a normal part of growth, not a sign of failure10:55 – How speed of response matters more than avoiding mistakes during breakdowns12:48 – Why most chiropractors do not realize they already function as shareholders15:37 – How understanding the three ways owners get paid changes business decisions19:07 – Why waiting until you feel ready to exit often destroys long-term value21:21 – How key person risk becomes the biggest concern for buyers23:59 – Why preparing a practice for sale mirrors preparing a house for market27:45 – How exit readiness creates flexibility even if you never plan to sell30:12 – Why optionality becomes the real reward of building a true business33:39 – What private equity actually looks for in healthcare businesses37:37 – Why standardization across providers directly increases valuation40:41 – How consolidation has reshaped other healthcare professions47:23 – Why chiropractic is still early in the exit and rollup cycle Resources MentionedTo learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceoBook a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPCPrefer to watch?
