Former NFL star Darren Waller joins The Zac Clark Show to share his raw, unfiltered story of recovery. From overdosing on opiates in a grocery store parking lot just miles from the Ravens facility to becoming one of the league's top tight ends with the Raiders and Giants, Darren opens up about the real battle—his addiction, the search for identity, and the haunting realization that no amount of money, fame, or success can fill the hole inside.He walks us through the peaks and valleys—stocking shelves at Sprouts during a 14-month suspension, making the Pro Bowl just two years later, and ultimately walking away from a $32 million contract to honor his true self and a healthier, more peaceful path. We talk about the layers beneath addiction—childhood, shame, performance, perfectionism—and the ongoing work of healing through recovery, therapy, and faith.The dream is so often built around achievement, recognition, and external validation—but Darren's story is a powerful reminder that inner peace is worth more than any prize, paycheck, or stadium of screaming fans, and that real self-love can only come from within.Today, Darren is making music, sharing his truth through lyrics, and helping others find freedom through his non-profit, The Darren Waller Foundation. Since 2020, the foundation has helped fund recovery treatment for individuals struggling with addiction and has reached thousands through Wall Talks across the country.For information about The Darren Waller Foundation, please click here: https://darrenwaller.org/Connect with Zachttps://www.instagram.com/zwclark/https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclarkhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553https://twitter.com/zacwclarkIf you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release:(914) 588-6564releaserecovery.com@releaserecovery

That sensation is your life force being drained, one notification at a time.The digital matrix has already claimed our wallets through consumerism. It's compromised our health through processed foods and environmental toxins. Now, it's coming for what remains: our minds, attention, and time. This isn't conspiracy theory—it's the logical progression of systems designed to extract maximum value from human consciousness.Remember when people played outside until streetlights came on? When families read books together? When imagination wasn't outsourced to screens? That world still exists, but we must consciously choose it. Today's children are born into unprecedented information bombardment, and many adults have forgotten what clear thinking even feels like. The average person now absorbs more information in a single day than someone in medieval times encountered in their entire lifetime.This assault on our attention isn't random. By keeping us perpetually distracted and overwhelmed, the information overload prevents us from accessing our innate wisdom and power. It dismantles our social skills, fractures family connections, and leaves us too scattered to pursue our true purpose. The symptoms are everywhere: declining attention spans, anxiety, depression, and a profound disconnection from our authentic selves.But there's tremendous hope. Start with small acts of digital rebellion: track your screen time to become aware of your habits, designate one screen-free day per week, implement a technology curfew, or take a walk without your phone.

Youth sports are not just sports anymore. They're a $40 billion+ industry and in this episode, we're getting all the way into it. We're talking about the emotional pressure, the social expectations, the team group chats, the $75 photo packages that somehow still exist in 2025, and why nobody tells you the signup fee is just the beginning. Whether you're new to the world of cleats and concession stands or already halfway through a season with three backup uniforms and a mini mortgage in gear, this episode will help you take a breath and get a grip.We break down the four types of spending most sports parents face:Sign-up costs (AKA the cover charge)Gear and equipment (plural. Always plural.)Lifestyle expenses (snacks, meals, coach gifts, and “team bonding” events that cost real money)Development extras (private lessons, apps, camps, and the “just in case they're great” category)We also cover several practical tips like the importance of setting a seasonal sports budget that your kid can help manage, why used gear is your best friend and where to find it, and the right time to say no and how to skip guilt with it. Whether you're trying to be the "fun" parent, the budget-conscious one, or just trying not to lose your mind, this one's for anyone raising kids in sports. Links: Project Play survey: Family spending on youth sports rises 46% over five yearsEpisode 183 - Why NIL is a game changer for young athletes Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

The elephant of the spirit of antichrist has been allowed to grow for hundreds if not thousands of years in many churches in the United States and around the world.  It has been allowed to take over because it is cloaked and supported by many "pastors" and other "ministry leaders" who chose to disconnect themselves from the Spirit of Christ.  Once that decision was made, the spirit of antichrist entered.  There is never a void in the spirit realm.  The Lord has announced His intention to deal with this issue, calling it rebellion and lawlessness.  For those allied with the enemy, judgment is at hand.  It is time to repent or face serious and deadly consequences.  We have been called to recognize the problem and to align with the Lord in obedience.  If we stay and support the sin of allowing the elephant to stay and grow, we will be the recipients of the judgment to come.  We can no longer to afford to associate with the disobedient.  Full article available for download in PDF:  Walking Away from the Elephant of Antichrist in the SanctuaryMark C.

In this episode, we're talking about how to know when it's REALLY time to go. Not when your manager makes it unbearable, not when the reorg finally hits, but when YOU decide that staying is costing more than it's worth.We break down the three questions that have helped us walk away from “good” jobs and build a better life on the other side. We talk about what your job is teaching you (even when you're not paying attention), how to tell if you have any say in your future there, and why asking “would I say yes to this job today?” might be the cleanest filter of all.You'll also hear:The truth about paper-pushing, middle management, and the skill sets that aren't really transferableWhy some jobs don't just feel like relationships, they are emotional trapsHow to rebuild self-trust before you make your next moveWhat it means to leave with your dignity intact and why that's the real winIf you're at a career crossroads or know someone who is, this one's for you.

In this episode we are joined by Julien and Kiersten Saunders, co-creators of rich & REGULAR and authors of 'Cashing Out: Win the Wealth Game by Walking Away'. What started as a blog in 2017 has grown into a multimedia powerhouse, all centered around their mission… to inspire better conversations about money. Hear why Julien walked out of corporate life before he had 'FU money,' and how Kiersten's Valentine's Day resignation collided with the pandemic. They also talk to us about:  Their 15-year 'Cashing Out' career sprint The power of 'Money on the Table' (think Anthony Bourdain meets FIRE) The joy of raising an eight-year-old who calls 78-year-olds his besties A reminder that aiming for the heart—rather than the wallet—can turn any late start into a blockbuster finale 

Most money advice assumes you're either bad at math or just need more discipline, but what if the real reason your budget isn't working is because it was never designed for how you actually spend?In this episode, we revisit a section from our book Cashing Out that recently got new life thanks to a great piece written by our friend Leo Aquino for Business Insider. It's all about the three emotional spending profiles we've seen over and over again: Fast Spenders, Financially Insecure, and what we call "The Middle".And no, these aren't zodiac signs. You're not locked in for life, but recognizing your dominant spending energy right now can help you stop fighting your habits and start building wealth around them.We break down what drives each type's spending behavior, what actually works for them (that they'll stick with), and what absolutely does not work, no matter how many times the internet suggests it. Links:Cashing Out: Win the Wealth Game by Walking Away Leo Aquino's article on Business Insider - How 3 Types of Spenders Can Build Wealth  Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

Every year, we set aside an episode just for new grads, and this year's version is an evolved view of last year's advice to “Get Paid”. Because let's keep it a buck, the Class of 2025 is graduating into a mess.The job market is weird, AI is replacing entry-level work, internships aren't converting, and employers say they're hiring, but for what? Meanwhile, everything is expensive and everyone online is yelling about branding yourself by Tuesday.So in this episode, we're flipping the script on the typical “follow your dreams” fluff and offering a much-needed mindset shift: Get paid to learn. Not just money, not just skills. Both. Because learning is leverage and knowing how to spot a valuable opportunity might be the most important skill of all.This one's for grads, career switchers, freelancers, and frankly anyone who wants to learn how to assess opportunities based on what they give you, not just what they demand.We talk about:Why “getting paid to learn” is the new cheat code for a strange economyThe difference between being used vs. being taught and how to tellWhy not every low-paying job is a bad one (and not every high-paying one is good)How to ask better questions in interviews that reveal the real value of a jobHow Kiersten builds her learning budgetA personal story from Julien about how a $40K contractor role helped build a six-figure skillsetLinks: Episode 203 - Gen Z deserves better financial adviceEpisode 164 - The New Rules of Success (Advice for Class of 2024) Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

Sometimes you need a little extra money, but what you don't need is another boss, a second shift, or a business plan you'll never finish. In this episode, we're walking through some of the most overlooked ways to earn extra income. Everything from plasma donation, junk hauling, voiceovers, waiting in line, and a few others I can't put in the description without attracting a bunch of bots. We're challenging the idea that income only comes from jobs. We talk about the emotional (and sometimes physical) tradeoffs, how to spot seasonal bonuses and low-competition opportunities, and why the best side hustles don't always look like work.These are the kind of gigs that don't require a résumé or a 5-year commitment, just a willingness to try something different. Whether you're saving for a trip, refilling your emergency fund, or just need to solve a $500 problem fast, there's something in here for you.In this episode, we cover:Why so many people default to getting another job and what to try insteadThe emotional cost of “just one more shift” when you're already stretched thinHow overlooked, seasonal, or location-based gigs can fill a short-term income gapThe surprising ways people are using their bodies, tools, and free time to get paidWhat makes a side hustle worth doing without turning into a second careerHow to think creatively about short bursts of work that solve real-life money problems Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

What if the secret to freedom wasn't in a flashy startup or the next big trend… but in notes? In this power-packed, soul-stirring episode, Kimberly Spencer sits down with note investor, wealth coach, and absolute powerhouse Hànanda Whittingham, who shares her jaw-dropping journey from walking away with just $162 to multiplying her net worth by 1,000% in five years. Yup—Queen didn't just survive, she THRIVED. But this convo is about more than money. It's about integrity as your north star, why visibility is both a business strategy and a personal revolution, and how your story doesn't need everyone's permission—just your power. Hànanda unpacks how note investing creates real safety for women—like, the kind of safety that lets you walk away from toxic jobs, relationships, or anything that dims your light. She shares the heart-wrenching story that sparked her mission and how she helps women step into their role as first lien holders—aka financial QUEENS. If you've ever felt paralyzed by fear, unsure what to share, or stuck in a cycle of “meh” mediocrity, this episode is your invitation to rise. This is not just a conversation—it's a transformational transmission for every woman who's ready to own her wealth, her worth, and her damn crown.

This week's episode is about decision-making and how to know what's actually worth it when you work for yourself.We recorded this right after speaking at a conference in Jamaica where we walked through some of our own real-life crossroads as business owners with a group of entrepreneurs. The talk resonated so deeply, the only feedback we got was: “Can you just put this all on one page?”This is our answer to that.We're talking about those high-stakes, low-certainty moments every entrepreneur, side hustler, or freelancer has to face eventually like what to sell, when to say yes, how to price your work, when to hire help, whether to spend or play it safe. And, maybe most importantly, how to move when the pressure's on and the money feels tight (or even when it's flowing).We get into:Why emotional decisions are so expensiveWhat Annie Duke's poker strategy has to do with entrepreneurshipThe $500 mistake we made early on that cost us doubleHow to protect yourself from thinking too small without blowing your budgetAnd the biggest difference between people who survive in business and people who burn out earlyWhether you're self-employed, freelancing, or bootstrapping something new, your decision-making process should match the size of what you're trying to build. If you've ever felt like your goals were too big or your fears were too loud… this one's for you.

It's the last Monday of Financial Literacy Month 2025, and unless you've been living under a rock or blissfully disconnected, you've probably heard the noise about tariffs lately. U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports are climbing as high as 145%, with threats to go even higher. And while it's tempting to think that's a political issue, the truth is tariffs effect your wallet and budget. In this episode, we're breaking down what tariffs actually are, how they distort prices, and why understanding how prices are shaped has never been more important. Because if you don't understand how prices are set, you don't really understand how money moves, and in a world where price tags lie, shrink, surge, and shapeshift every few months, that's not just an economic problem. That's a literacy problem.We cover:Why it's so hard to  just "make everything in America", even if you want toHow companies quietly pass tariff costs onto you and how to spot itReal-world tools to build price literacy and become a sharper consumer and investorWhat it means to see yourself as part of the global exchange, and why that gives you more financial power, not less.Links: Kim Lewis reel on luxury prices (bonus: watch our interview with Kim here) CamelCamelCamel - Amazon Price TrackerGoogle Chrome Price Tracker  Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

This week, we're breaking down bankruptcy in the way it should've been explained all along: without shame, without legal jargon, and without the “womp womp” energy we've all been taught to bring to it.You've probably heard of Chapter 7. Maybe even Chapter 13. But unless you've filed for bankruptcy, or know someone who has, you've likely never learned what it actually means.We kick things off with the viral rise of the “debt strike” trend on TikTok and Instagram, where people are publicly declaring they're done paying back debt and explore what it says about our cultural relationship to money, morality, and relief.Then we get into:What Chapter 7, Chapter 13, and Chapter 11 actually areWho qualifies and howWhat a “means test” is and how it worksWhat happens to your credit score and your sanityThe real costs (financial, emotional, and social) of filingAnd why bankruptcy might more of a mental health intervention than we give credit for Along the way, we myth-bust the stereotypes and unpack why bankruptcy, like divorce, might just be a legal reset that deserves more empathy and way less side-eye.Links: Episode 174: A spike in bankruptcy (Topic #2)  Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

Message from Matt Ham on April 20, 2025

In this heartfelt episode, Pastor Jack Young sits down with Rob Gassman to reflect on their shared experiences growing up in an Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) context. Together, they discuss the challenges and blessings of a strict religious upbringing, and how—despite potential for rebellion—they each came to a genuine, personal faith in Jesus Christ. This honest conversation explores grace, true conversion, and the importance of owning your faith, no matter your background. Whether you were raised in church or are coming to faith from a different path, this episode will encourage and challenge you to consider what it means to truly follow Christ.

What if we told you there are cities in the U.S. that will pay you to live there?In this episode, we're following up on our popular expat conversation with a deep dive into domestic relocation incentives.

If you've ever felt the pressure to hold it all together or questioned what you're really chasing, this episode is for you. I'm sitting down with Jenn Kennedy for a raw and powerful conversation about walking away from a 7-figure business, healing the addiction to doing, and redefining success as a female breadwinner. We dive into what it really feels like to untangle your identity from achievement, why surrender isn't something you can force, and how true healing often requires completely letting go. Tune in for a conversation about building success on a completely new foundation.

Most people aren't neutral about the idea of living in a car, and that's exactly why we needed to talk about it.This week, we dig into the stigma, structure, and stories behind van life. It's not a guide on how to gut a Sprinter or stealth-camp in a Target parking lot, it's a deeper exploration of what it means to live differently and why that still freaks people out.From the viral story of Dawn Robinson of En Vogue (yes, *that* Dawn) who shared that she's been living in her car by choice for the past three years, to our personal stories of barbers, truckers, and friends navigating life on the margins of “traditional” housing, we cover the full terrain of what it means to opt out of the norm. Spoiler alert: it's complicated.We cover:Why alternative housing is still treated as “failure” unless it's influencer-approvedThe invisible infrastructure that makes van life even possible and why it's not always fully “off-the-grid”Why HUD, housing policy, and language matter more than you thinkThe difference between choosing van life vs. surviving itHow Black culture relates to nontraditional housing, and why we don't often see ourselves in the #vanlife aestheticThe emotional, financial, and logistical costs of so-called “freedom”This is one of those “sit with it” episodes. It's not about romanticizing struggle or glamorizing minimalism, it's about challenging the way we define dignity, shelter, success, and the American dream.Because let's be honest: if someone chooses to live in a van and finds peace, why does it make the rest of us so uncomfortable?Listen in. Challenge your definitions. And maybe, just maybe, reconsider what home really means.

Send us a textThe power of walking away might be the most overlooked skill in a man's journey to sovereignty. While we're constantly told to push through, stay loyal, and never quit, Anthony reveals why strategic detachment is actually the ultimate form of power.This ninth installment of the Unseen Laws of Power series explores the delicate art of knowing when to exit - not from a place of weakness or defeat, but from a position of clarity and self-respect. Anthony breaks down why most men stay trapped in dead-end situations, confusing attachment with loyalty and persistence with progress, while powerful men recognize when a chapter has ended.Through raw, honest conversation, you'll discover the psychological traps that keep us clinging to situations that diminish us - addiction to familiarity, fear of the unknown, guilt as manipulation, and the false narrative that walking away equals failure. Instead, you'll learn how leaving what no longer serves you creates space for authentic growth and opportunity.Whether it's walking away from draining business relationships, toxic personal connections, or outdated versions of yourself, this episode provides seven unmistakable signs that it's time to make your exit. Anthony challenges listeners to audit their lives through the lens of sovereignty, identifying what to release so you can evolve into the king you're meant to become.The ultimate truth? Kings don't chase - they move with purpose, and the world realigns to follow a man who knows when to walk. Your challenge this week: choose one thing to walk away from with honor, stillness, and zero explanation. Because you don't owe anyone a reason for choosing your own evolution."True mastery is found in the details. The way you handle the little things defines the way you handle everything."

This week, we're sharing 3 of our best tips on how to live on a single income. It's a topic that might feel distant, perhaps even undesirable, but for many, it's becoming an increasingly relevant concern.We've lived the single-income life by choice and by circumstance. It's not always pretty, but it can be done. And sometimes, being forced to tighten your belt is the exact kick in the pants you need to get your financial house in order.Whether you choose to live on one income as some kind of FIRE-adjacent power move, or you're forced into it by circumstances beyond your control, the real challenge isn't just the spreadsheet gymnastics. It's the people part.So this episode gets into the conversations, the compromises, and the potential points of friction that can arise in a partnership when resources become more constrained.We discuss: Addressing the emotional landscape: Living on one income throws all sorts of messy emotions into the mix. Who gets to spend? Who's giving up more? Is this forever, or just until something changes? These aren't spreadsheet questions, they're relationship questions..How to make negotiation your new love language: We break down how to negotiate fairly as you create a budget when the stakes feel high and everyone's nerves are shotGetting more comfortable saying No: Living on one income means saying "no"... a lot. To your partner, to your kids, to your friends, and maybe most importantly, to yourself. We unpack the guilt that inevitably comes with that, especially when you feel like you're letting people down.Strategic decluttering and selling your stuff with intention: The process of selling personal items for cash can be more emotionally involved than it appears. We talk about the surprisingly emotional process of selling your belongings and how to actually make it work, practically and emotionally.Links: Cashing Out: Win the Wealth Game by Walking Away by Julien and Kiersten Saunders The Two-Income Trap by Elizabeth Warren and Amelia Warren Tyagi Episode 155: The FinTech Toolkit Episode 149: Buying used vs. new Episode 130: How to sell your stuff online  Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

On the SUPERWOMEN podcast, I'm sitting down with the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star and “Traitors” winner Dolores Catania. As two cast members of the “Housewives” franchise, we open up about our time on the shows, and we reflect on resilience, reinvention, and what it really means to stay true to yourself—even when the world is watching.Dolores joined “RHONJ” at a difficult time in her life and made a promise to never let the pressures of reality TV change who she was. On “Housewives,” she built a reputation for loyalty, honesty, and standing her ground, but what most people don't see is the grit and willpower it took to get there. From getting divorced while nine months pregnant and raising her kids as a single mom, to navigating business and personal reinvention, she's learned firsthand how to make the most of the challenges she has faced.In this episode, Dolores gives us the scoop on her time on “The Traitors,” backing out of “RHONJ” in Season 1 and then deciding to return years later, how reality TV shaped her sense of self-worth, the toughest lessons she's learned, and why she's on a mission to change the conversation around menopause and women's health. Follow SUPERWOMEN (@rmsuperwomen) and Dolores (@dolorescatania) on Instagram.Support this podcast: https://bit.ly/rmsuperwomen

So today, we're changing that.We're introducing our latest creative project, Taste the Impact, which a short film (or op-doc, if you're feeling fancy) that explores the relationship between investing and the food system.

It's about challenging the status quo, asking uncomfortable questions, and recognizing that our financial choices have real-world consequences. In this episode, we get into:Why we made Taste the Impact now and and why storytelling is a financial tool just as much as spreadsheets areWhat visual media can do that numbers alone can't (and how historical social movements have always known this)Why “values-aligned investing” only gets real when you zoom into something specific, like foodHow systemic failures are driving the wave of food recallsWhat's behind the rising cost of food, and why it's not just inflation Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

This week, we dive headfirst into the very timely topic of expating. Is it just a fantasy fueled by tough times or is there something deeper driving this urge to GTFO? In this episode, we're exploring the layers of this question. We break down the different flavors of expating, from slow travel hacks that let you vibe abroad for a few months with zero paperwork (hello, Schengen Zone!) to the allure of Digital Nomad Visas for those of us who can work from anywhere with Wi-Fi and a decent latte. We even get into the semi-permanent options and, for the truly committed, buying your way into citizenship.Ultimately, this episode isn't about escapism. It's about options, feasibility, and the very real trade-offs you need to consider when contemplating a life lived beyond your current borders. We discuss:The rise of "Plan B" thinking in the FIRE community and beyondTourist stays and slow travel: Easy ways to get your feet wet abroadDigital Nomad Visas (DNVs): Working remotely from paradise (with a minimum income requirement, naturally)Extended visas and residency pathways: Semi-permanent solutions for a longer stayNaturalization and citizenship: The full commitment, from marriage to ancestry to buying your way inThe "Split Life" Model: Six months here, six months there (the best of both worlds?)The real costs and considerations: Taxes, paperwork, culture shock, currency risks, and that annoying "ideological accent" you didn't even know you had.Our rule of thumb for financial feasibility: Is it really worth it?And if you know someone who's made the leap (or is seriously contemplating it), drop us a comment below!

Fast forward to today: Women are investing more than ever, making up a record percentage of stock market participants, growing businesses, and holding more financial power than at any point in history. That's the win.But here's the fight: We're still paid less, still have less wealth, and the traditional financial playbook assumes everyone earns, invests, and retires like a man. This means even when we do everything right, we're often playing catch-up.So this Women's History Month, we're asking: What happens when we go from participating to leading?We discuss: Why the wealth gap still exists even as women invest more than everHow to rewrite the financial playbook so it actually works for usRedefining financial confidence and owning it  The investing strengths women already have and how to use them to winUsing community as a secret weapon and connecting with other women like “rich aunties” who've been through it and have the wisdom to share.  Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

This week, we're exploring the fascinating and sometimes frustrating world of Gen Z finances, why traditional financial advice often misses the mark with this generation, and what actually resonates with them.Every generation thinks they had it hard. And to be fair, most of them did. But Gen Z? They're becoming adults in a world that looks nothing like the one we grew up in.
