I'm showing up raw and real in this episode—white tee, unfiltered, and straight from the heart. I take you behind the scenes of my journey from fear-filled moments to life-altering breakthroughs. From failing multiple CPA exams to quitting a secure job at Deloitte, from launching Budget Dog to facing my daughter's rare medical condition—every leap was powered by fear. But not the kind that paralyzes; the kind that fuels you when there's no other choice but to rise.   In this episode, I share how fear can either break you or build you. I recount how I used fear to pass the CPA exams against the odds, walk away from my 9-to-5, support my family through unimaginable challenges, and ultimately find our dream home after losing almost everything. This is the rawest, most powerful episode I've ever recorded—and I hope it lights a fire in you to lean into your own fears.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Why I ditched the polished look for this episode and decided to go raw and real [2:09] The pivotal moment that shifted my mindset after college [4:11] My intense CPA study grind and early failures that nearly broke me [6:13] The public humiliation that sparked a turning point [11:04] The moment I finally passed the CPA exams—and what it taught me about fear [13:30] How I transitioned from Deloitte to full-time entrepreneurship with Budget Dog [16:12] The conversation that led me to leave my 9-5 earlier than planned [18:05] Welcoming my daughter Logan and the life-changing diagnosis we faced [23:08] Retiring my wife and relocating to Texas for Logan's care [28:22] Discovering mold and mycotoxins—and losing nearly everything [33:55] Facing homelessness, uncertainty, and massive financial losses [37:13] The moment we found our safe home and a new beginning [40:59] Why fear has become my greatest motivator   Quotables “Fear isn't something to run from—it's a signpost pointing to your next breakthrough.” “Public failure hurt, but it also lit a fire that nothing else could.” “Just because I'm financially free doesn't mean I'm not human—I still feel fear, but I've learned to use it.” “What most people see as setbacks, I see as setups for something greater.” “When life gave us fear, we didn't back down—we leveled up.”   Links & Resources https://bookwithbudgetdog.com/ped National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) Functional Neurologist & Health Journey Insights (referenced in Logan's story)   If this episode moved you, I'd love for you to leave a review, follow the podcast, and share it with someone who needs to hear this. Thanks for tuning in—and remember, fear might just be the sign that you're on the brink of greatness.

It's been a busy few weeks for me. Since my last episode, I finally had the knee surgery I'd been waiting for since last fall. Thankfully, all went well and I'm back to hitting to 10,000 steps again most days.Today, I'm circling back to the topic of retirement--or my lane change in life as I like to call it. Retirement is supposed to be the well-earned reward you get after a lifetime of hard work. Sadly, some people don't live long enough to enjoy the life they spent decades working toward. I am grateful that is not my story--though it easily could've been.For me, due to a tsunami of simultaneous stressors, the "Golden Years" came a lot earlier than expected when all the pots on my "stove of life" bubbled over at the same time! One thing I absolutely know for sure is that If I hadn't left work when I did...I probably wouldn't be here right now. In this episode I reflect on the end of my career, what led me to finally decide on to walk away from work and how leaving has impacted my health.

Darren Wurz is a certified financial planner with a master's degree in financial planning. He specializes in financial planning for lawyers and law firm owners.  Darren is the author of the book, “The Lawyer Millionaire: The Complete Guide for Attorneys on Maximizing Wealth, Minimizing Taxes and Retiring with Confidence published by the American Bar Association.  Darren also hosts The Lawyer Millionaire podcast.  These are obviously catchy titles and draw the attention of a lot of attorneys, me included!  Darren spoke to me and my colleagues with the American Consumer Bankruptcy College at our semi-annual meeting last year. I enjoyed meeting Darren and I won a copy of his book in a raffle. It is a great book and I highly recommend it. I enjoyed getting to know Darren on this episode of the podcast and I think an awful lot of lawyers and, really,  anyone interested in accumulating financial assets in a sound and logical way would get a good bit out of the information that Darren provides.
