Mignon Francois was down to her last five dollars. Her power had been turned off and she flipped on a generator only at night so her kids would have some "normal" in their life. But things weren't normal then, and would be even less normal as she flipped that last five dollars into a cupcake empire. She'll share the story today that'll make you realize that you CAN do that thing that's been frightening you. First, though, in our headline segment Social Security is in the news. It turns out that some Americans don't receive any of America's largest social program benefits. What does this have to do with your planning, even if you DO qualify? We'll share. Of course, Doug's ready with some cupcake empire trivia AND we'll also throw the Haven Life line all the way "across the pond" to the UK, where James has a question that our Stackers around the world probably have all asked themselves before.

Summer is here! Robert Niles kicks off our summer season by sharing deals and thrills around the nation's theme parks. We ask Mr. Theme Park Insider himself about how we can save money when we take the family but also (and maybe more importantly) how we actually make the day more fun so that it's worth the money we pay. Robert delivers on both fronts, with both wallet-saving and excitement-upping tips. We talk about some of the best theme parks in the USA plus the "big boys" of Disney and Universal. Plus, in our headline, one bank CEO thinks that we should impose some rules around "short selling." What is short selling anyway? How can people pick on "short" so much? We'll explore all of that. Of course, Doug will share some of his mouth-watering trivia AND we'll answer a fantastic question from the state of Wisconsin...proving that even though we thought Doug ruined it for us, this midwestern state still finds a way to love us.

We've heard a lot about work-life balance. On one end, the non-stress believers say that you should seek balance actively. On the other, "hustle" culture says you can sleep when you're dead. There's no such thing as balance. Do more. Faster. Better. Today's guest says that maybe you can have "more" in your life WITHOUT seeking balance. What if we sought harmony instead? Tina Wells has had to apply this lesson to her own life, having created her first company at age 16 and suffering her first burnout by age 27. She'll share how she found both success and a life on today's show. In our headline segment, actor Jeremy Renner is under our spotlight.

Olympian and distance running star Kara Goucher joins us to share explosive details involving Alberto Salazar, the disgraced coach of the Elite Nike Running Team. She also shares her history of money and transitioning from running for fun to running for money…and then the triumphant battle back to running for joy. It's a story about greed, power, disturbing abuse, and more (doping, NCAA violations…), and yet it is still an uplifting, empowering story. In today's headlines, we dig into a piece from the Wall Street Journal that goes over signs that the long-running hot job market may finally be showing signs of cooling off. We'll also review a piece from Indeed.com about best practices to find a job (in case you'd forgotten). What does the cooling job market mean for you and your stack of Benjamins? Doug has some sports apparel-related trivia. And today's Haven Lifeline call discusses the pros and cons of rolling over pre-tax and Roth 401(k) balances from a previous employer to traditional and Roth IRAs while still early in your career.

Email is a crucial part of modern marketing, with over 330 billion emails sent daily, expected to reach 376 billion by 2025. While email marketing strategies have changed, it remains a key player in any marketing strategy. It is the go-to marketing channel for the best online marketers due to its high return on investment. Email marketing outperforms strategies like SEO, PPC, and Content Marketing, making it the most cost-effective way to promote products and communicate with customers. Today we hear from seasoned email veterans from different viewpoints, purposes, and motivations to share their insights into running a podcast. In Case You Missed Last Week We add a new clip from John Lee Dumas who shares what he would do differently. Last week we heard from Joe from Stacking Benjamins and other veterans on launching a pocast. Check it out. Participants Ariel Nissenblatt James Cridland Jessica Kupferman Daniel J Lewis David Hooper A Newsletter Help Remind Your Listeners About You Both James and the No Agenda Show see where their newsletter reminds your audience you exist and hopefully supports you. You Can Use Auto Responders You can create a series of email called an autoresponder to release at certain time intervals.

Aside from James, who works some technical voodoo (he's a programmer), none of the participants used the "RSS to Email" tools.  They had developed their own format, topics, etc, and wrote them from scratch or copied and pasted their content in an effort to repurpose it.

Imagine owning a company and working from anywhere, doing whatever you like, and changing the world around you. How great would life be? If you've ever dreamed of quitting your job and becoming an entrepreneur, we have a great guest for you today. Amy Porterfield left not just any job...she left the Tony Robbins organization to pursue her own entrepreneurship dreams. After a meeting where she was taking notes, listening to entrepreneurs talk about how they were changing the world, she realized that she wanted the same for herself and took the plunge. You can too, and we'll share how on today's episode. Before Amy, we share an important headline segment. A Kansas City small business owner sued his advisors after losing half a million dollars on an investment and won a judgment. What was the investment? We'll share details and our thoughts about advisor-client relationships. We also play a TikTok minute focusing on some contract law we probably need to implement AND later in the show, we'll throw out the Haven Life line to a listener with a big money question.

One question we've been asked a TON is this: "What are the steps (in order!) that I should follow to optimize the path toward my goals? While we've presented our own ideas about order of operations today, we've never asked our contributors for their input...and today we change that! Len Penzo, Paulette Perhach, and OG debate a recent list from popular blogger Financial Tortoise, who listed twelve steps to financial independence. Do we agree? Disagree? We not only share the list and where each of our contributors might make changes, but we also dive into the steps to share how to best use the step to improve with money. Of course, we also continue our year-long trivia challenge between our panelists. Will OG pull away from the pack? Can Len Penzo take back the trophy? Will Paulette surge? All things will become clear on this week's roundtable discussion!
