We're answering them directly and showing why most criticisms reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of what whole life insurance actually is. If you've ever hesitated to explore IBC because something you read online gave you pause, this is the episode for you.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment 07:40 – Objection 1: Whole life is a terrible investment 15:45 – Objection 2: The rate of return is terrible 26:35 – Objection 3: You don't break even for years 34:45 – Objections 4 & 5: Why pay interest to borrow my own money? 45:25 – Objection 6: Agents make huge commissions 57:50 – Objection 7: This only works if you're rich 1:02:05 – Closing segmentKey Takeaways:It's not an investment—it's savings. Whole life has no risk of loss, which by definition means it's not an investment. It's a savings vehicle with guarantees, privacy, and a death benefit. Stop comparing it to the S&P 500.Rate of return isn't the only metric. The best-performing asset changes depending on your timeframe. Chasing returns is how people buy high and sell low. Wealthy investors prioritize control, understanding, and risk management before rate of return.Policy loans aren't "borrowing your own money." You're borrowing the insurance company's money, collateralized by your cash value. Your money keeps compounding. That's the entire point.Commissions aren't the gotcha people think. If agents wanted easy money, they'd get a securities license and collect 1% AUM fees for life. Whole life is harder to sell and pays less over time than traditional financial advising.Is Infinite Banking a scam? If you've spent five minutes researching IBC online, you've seen the accusations. These objections are everywhere—YouTube comments, Reddit threads, Dave Ramsey clips. They sound convincing. They're also wrong.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. Summary of the Interview: Dr. Willie Jolley on Money Making Conversations Masterclass Dr. Willie Jolley—Hall of Fame speaker, bestselling author, and longtime SiriusXM host—joins Rushion McDonald to discuss his new book Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better. The conversation focuses on redefining wealth, transforming money mindsets, developing discipline, and overcoming setbacks to build generational prosperity. Throughout the interview, Dr. Jolley shares insights gathered over 20 years of interviewing billionaires, CEOs, and major wealth creators. He outlines the crucial difference between being rich (high income) and being wealthy (owning assets that work without you). He emphasizes the role of discipline, humility, learning, and generational thinking in achieving sustainable wealth. The interview closes with Jolley’s personal comeback story—from nightclub singer to world‑renowned speaker—and his message that it’s never too late to change your financial future. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Promote and explain Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better,” which clarifies the difference between income-based wealth (rich) and asset‑based, multi‑generational wealth (wealthy). 2. Teach listeners how to shift their money mindset Jolley walks through the five levels of money thinking, showing how most Americans operate in the lower levels due to habit or lack of knowledge. 3. Encourage financial independence and discipline Listeners—especially entrepreneurs and families—learn the role of discipline, insurance, multiple income streams, and investment. 4. Provide motivation through Jolley’s story His setback-to-comeback story proves that financial and personal reinvention is possible at any age. 5. Address generational wealth and financial stewardship The book is also written for parents/grandparents worried their heirs may squander what they built. Key Takeaways 1. The crucial difference between rich and wealthy Rich = working income; stops when you stop. Wealthy = assets + systems; money works even when you don’t. Rich is “good”—but wealth is “better” because it is sustainable. 2. Wealth begins with mindset Jolley identifies five money mindsets: One‑day mindset (daily survival) 30‑day mindset (check-to-check) One‑year mindset Decade mindset (athletes/entertainers) Generational mindset (true wealth builders) His goal: move people one level higher. 3. Discipline is the #1 lever for wealth Wealth requires: Living below your means Consistent investment Protecting what you have Maintaining health, relationships, reputation, and intellectual capital 4. The “Five Types of Wealth” Financial wealth Health wealth Relationship wealth Reputational/brand wealth Intellectual capital wealthAll contribute to long-term prosperity. 5. The 3 Legs of Wealth Income Save & invest the difference Insurance to protect assets (life, health, disability, long‑term care) 6. At least two streams of income are essential Examples: stocks, real estate, crypto, collectibles, content creation. 7. Pride destroys wealth People overspend to look successful rather than be successful.Pride → debt → stress → financial ruin.Humility → learning → planning → wealth. 8. It’s never too late to become wealthy He shares stories of: A domestic worker who died with $2.7M A secretary who accumulated $8M A former drug dealer who reached nearly $900K starting at age 65All achieved wealth by small investments over long periods. 9. A setback is a setup for a comeback Jolley’s message is deeply motivational: Losing his singing job led him into speaking Speaking led to radio Radio led to books Books led to global influenceHe frames adversity as opportunity. Notable Quotes (from the transcript) On Wealth vs. Rich “Rich is good. Wealthy is better.” “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” “It’s hard to hit what you can’t see—and even harder to hit what you don’t know.” (on knowing the target) On Discipline “The key to success in growing wealth is discipline.” [ On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth. I had to let the pride go so I could grab hold of the wealth.” On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” “Your setback is not the end of the story unless you choose it to be.” On Starting Late “Anybody can become wealthy if you use these principles.” “When is the best time to plant a tree? 80 years ago. The second-best time? Today.” In One Sentence The interview teaches that becoming wealthy is less about income and more about mindset, discipline, humility, and long-term planning—and that anyone can build generational wealth starting right now. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over this period, central banks have added ~4,500 tonnes of gold, including unreported purchases. At the same time, foreign Treasury holdings have remained unchanged. Gold is redefining the global monetary system. Central banks maintain FX reserves—typically a mix of currencies, bonds, and assets like gold—to stabilize their currencies, manage liquidity, and hedge against economic shocks. U.S. Treasuries have long been the go-to asset because they’re considered ultra-safe, highly liquid, and backed by the world’s dominant reserve currency (the U.S. dollar, which still accounts for about 57% of global reserves). Gold, on the other hand, is a “neutral” asset: it’s not tied to any single government’s policies, can’t be printed at will, and serves as a hedge against inflation, currency debasement, and geopolitical risks.This crossover isn’t just a blip—it’s a structural change driven by several factors: Key Driver Explanation Impact Geopolitical Tensions and Sanctions Events like the Russia-Ukraine war (leading to frozen Russian assets) and U.S. actions (e.g., tariffs, interventions in Venezuela) have eroded trust in dollar-denominated assets. Countries fear their reserves could be seized or devalued overnight. theguardian.com Accelerates “de-dollarization” efforts, especially among BRICS nations (e.g., China, Russia, India), which now buy gold at 3–5 times pre-2022 levels, averaging 60 tons per month. finance.yahoo.com Gold’s share in reserves has doubled to over 25% in the past decade. newsmax.com Rising Gold Prices and Diversification Gold’s price surge (up 70% in 2025 alone) mechanically boosts its reserve value, but central banks are actively adding to holdings rather than selling Treasuries outright. mining.com This reflects a pivot away from U.S. debt amid concerns over America’s $35+ trillion national debt, persistent inflation, and fiscal policies under the Trump administration. fundssociety.com Gold is now the second-largest reserve asset after the dollar (overtaking the euro in 2024), signaling a re-regionalization of global finance where gold absorbs outflows from U.S. bonds. lfde.com The gold and U.S. debt markets are similarly sized (~$25–30 trillion each), making this shift feasible without massive disruptions. Central Bank Strategy Emerging market central banks (e.g., People’s Bank of China, Central Bank of Russia) are prioritizing gold for stability in a multipolar world, while developed banks hold steady. americanhartfordgold.com Net purchases hit 1,000+ tonnes in 2025, with forecasts for similar levels in 2026. gold.org Could push gold prices higher—analysts at Goldman Sachs see $5,400/oz by end-2026, while extreme scenarios (full USD reserve loss) speculate $39,000–$184,000/oz if gold backs global money supply. vaneck.com This isn’t about ditching the dollar entirely but reducing over-reliance.   If trends continue, it could lead to sustained gold demand, higher prices, and a more fragmented international financial landscape.

The bloc’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said EU foreign ministers took the “decisive step” because “repression cannot go unanswered”. She said ahead of the decision that the move would put the IRGC – a major military, economic and political force in Iran – on the same level as jihadist groups like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group.

CNBC reports: New York Mayor Mamdani says city must hike taxes on wealthy to fill $12 billion deficit New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday said the city's wealthiest must pay more in taxes to help fill the staggering budget deficit of more than $12 billion that he was left by his predecessor. “This is at a scale that's actually greater than what we saw here in New York City during the Great Recession,” Mamdani said of that budget hole during an interview with CNBC “Squawk Box” co-anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin at City Hall.   Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2016689992932749554?s=20 https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/2016622314306109944?s=20 https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2016825781926662360?s=20   https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/2016863073173114959?s=20   https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/2016855148723593379?s=20 https://twitter.com/christopherrufo/status/2016702846822207663?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricTeetsel/status/2016681981887623280?s=20 https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/2016688511017947273?s=20 benevolent and humble servant of the oppressed.

What if wealth isn't about luck, connections, or hustle—but about how you think?   In today's episode, we unpack a fascinating story of a 17-year-old dishwasher who spent a decade working inside a high-end country club alongside ultra-wealthy members. What he learned completely dismantled common assumptions about rich people—and surprisingly, many of his lessons line up directly with Scripture.   Bob and Linda walk through 7 mindset shifts that separate people who grow wealth from those who stay stuck, and why renewing your mind around money may be the most biblical financial move you can make.   This isn't about chasing money—it's about becoming the kind of person God can trust with more.     Episode Highlights 1. Rich people aren't greedy—greed is the problem Money doesn't change your heart; it amplifies what's already there. When we believe "all rich people are greedy," we subconsciously sabotage our own growth. 2. Be cool (aka: be kind) True wealth shows up as humility and generosity toward those earlier on the path. Kindness is influence. 3. Wealthy kids inherit a mindset before they inherit money What did you inherit about money growing up? Limiting beliefs can be rewired—especially through God's Word. "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." —Proverbs 23:7 (NLT) 4. You don't need school to be successful—but you do need wisdom Education matters, but obedience to God matters more. College doesn't guarantee provision—God does. 5. Stop chasing money; start creating value Money is a result, not a target. It's simply a reflection of the value you bring to others. 6. Money is a learnable skill You don't have to be "good at math" to be good with money. One book, one framework, one habit can radically change your financial future. 7. Focus on becoming who God created you to be Growth, wisdom, and Christlikeness compound over time—and so does stewardship.   Key Scriptures Mentioned (NLT) Proverbs 23:7 — "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." Romans 12:2 — "Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think." Matthew 6:26 — God's provision for the birds (and for you)   Action Item for This Week Do these three things: Identify one limiting belief you inherited about money. Find one biblical truth that directly contradicts it. Learn one practical thing about how money actually works (book, podcast, or Scripture). Small shifts in thinking can unlock massive change.   Wealth doesn't start in your bank account—it starts in your beliefs.

In this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy and Smart podcast, Dr. Karen Litzy interviews Pete Moore, founder of Integrity Square, discussing the evolution of the health, active lifestyle, and outdoor sector, known as Halo. They explore the shortcomings of the term 'wellness', the importance of understanding business valuations and KPIs, and the emotional readiness required for business transitions. Pete shares insights on navigating growth, preparing for exits, and the significance of knowing one's competitors and market position. Takeaways The term 'wellness' is outdated and not serving the industry. Understanding your market position is crucial for business success. Local libraries can be valuable resources for business research. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are essential for evaluating business health. Emotional readiness is as important as financial readiness for business transitions. Knowing your competitors helps in strategic planning. Valuations are driven by more than just revenue multipliers. Founders often overlook the importance of mental preparation for exits. Networking and mentorship are vital for entrepreneurial growth. Continuous learning and adaptation are key to success in the Halo sector.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Halo and Wellness 01:49 Navigating Business Growth and Exits 03:22 Understanding Valuations and KPIs 05:54 Emotional Readiness for Business Transitions 06:56 Quickfire Insights for Entrepreneurs More About Pete: Pete is the Founder, Managing Partner and Chief Dream Architect at Integrity Square ("ISQ"), a leading boutique financial advisory firm focused on the $4.7T Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoor ("HALO") sector.  Since founding ISQ in 2010, the firm has played an active advisory role in 100+ mergers & acquisitions, private placements and advisory assignments across North America.

Summary In this episode of the Experience Strategy Podcast, hosts Aransas Savas, Joe Pine, and Dave Norton discuss the burgeoning field of longevity and transformation. They explore the aspirations of individuals seeking to live longer and healthier lives, the shift in healthcare from a reactive to a proactive approach, and the role of social proof in driving transformation. The conversation also touches on the evolution of trust in the age of social media, the changing narrative around aging, and the future accessibility of longevity solutions. Takeaways People aspire to live longer and healthier lives. The healthcare industry is shifting from fixing problems to promoting flourishing. Social proof is becoming increasingly important in the transformation economy. Decentralized trust is shaping how people validate health claims. The placebo effect plays a significant role in perceived health outcomes. Aging is often misunderstood; many peak in their 50s and 60s. The evolution of science and brand is changing customer expectations. Wealthy individuals often drive innovation in health and longevity. The future of longevity solutions may become more accessible over time. Trust in brands is less centralized and more influenced by personal experiences.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Transformation and Longevity 03:10 The Ambition of Living Longer and Healthier 05:59 The Shift in Healthcare: From Fixing to Flourishing 09:07 The Role of Social Proof in the Transformation Economy 12:16 The Impact of Personal Research and Influencers 15:13 The Evolution of Science and Brand in Health 18:02 Reframing Aging: Opportunities in the Second Half of Life 21:14 The Future of Longevity and Accessibility Podcast Sponsors: Learn more about Stone Mantel https://www.stonemantel.co Sign up for the Experience Strategist Substack here: https://theexperiencestrategist.substack.com

HOW TO PAY THE IRS NOW THAT PAPER CHECKS ARE ENDING FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS Lawrence M. Post CPA, MST, CFP®, CIMA® Senior Tax & Planning Advisor, BWFA Tessa Hall Media and Communications Specialist, BWFA About This Episode The IRS is moving away from paper checks and shifting to electronic payments. In this episode, the BWFA team explains what IRS payment modernization means, how refunds and tax payments will be handled going forward, and what steps taxpayers should take now to avoid delays or penalties. For more information, visit BWFA's Tax Planning Services page. Read Full Description The IRS is changing how it handles payments and refunds. As part of a broader modernization effort, paper checks are being phased out in favor of electronic options. While many taxpayers have already made this shift, others may still rely on mailing checks. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, the BWFA team discusses what this change means and why it matters. They explain how payment methods are evolving, what could happen if old approaches no longer apply, and why timing and preparation are becoming more important. At the same time, the episode addresses common concerns around security and access. Some people hesitate to use electronic payments, yet mailed checks often create their own risks. Understanding the tradeoffs can help taxpayers decide how to move forward with more confidence. The conversation also highlights practical considerations for managing payments and refunds under the new system. Rather than reacting after a problem arises, listeners are encouraged to think ahead and make updates before deadlines create pressure. Ultimately, this episode reinforces a simple point. As the IRS modernizes its processes, staying informed and adapting early can help prevent unnecessary delays, penalties, and frustration. The goal is not to complicate tax planning, but to make sure systems work as expected when it matters most.

Together, Brett and Kyle break down why education must come before investing, how poor liquidity destroys otherwise good strategies, and why following the crowd is one of the fastest ways to lose money.This conversation dives deep into infinite banking, wealth foundations, cash flow over net worth, and how to build a financial system that creates freedom — not stress.

Have you ever looked at today's property prices and wondered, How is this even possible? How can values keep climbing when interest rates are still high, affordability is stretched to breaking point, and so many Australians feel locked out of the market?   You're not alone. It feels counterintuitive. It feels unfair.   And for many, it feels completely unsustainable. But here's the uncomfortable truth about our housing market - and it's the part most people don't want to hear.   Property prices don't rise because the average Australian can afford them. They rise because the marginal buyer – the person actually able to transact today – can.   And right now, that marginal buyer looks very different from the one we had even a decade ago.   Takeaways  ·         Property prices are rising due to the marginal buyer's ability to transact. ·         Wealthy buyers are dominating the market, driving prices up. ·         Downsizers are reshaping the market by purchasing debt-free properties. ·         Government incentives are pushing more buyers into the market. ·         Buyers are adapting by compromising on location and property type. ·         Structural under supply is a significant factor in rising prices. ·         Affordability issues are sidelining some buyers but not all. ·         The Bank of Mum and Dad is a major influence in property transactions. ·         Investors need to focus on quality assets in gentrifying suburbs. ·         Long-term market predictions indicate continued price growth despite challenges.   Chapters  00:00  Why prices keep rising despite poor affordability. 04:30  Who the real marginal buyers are today. 08:20  Downsizers, cash buyers and the Bank of Mum & Dad reshape demand. 12:30  First-home-buyer incentives push prices, not affordability. 16:00  Behaviour shifts: units, townhouses, rent-vesting. 19:30  Structural undersupply ensures ongoing price growth in 2026.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time.

Welcome to another episode of The A Game Podcast with Nick Lamagna, where we dig deep into the mindset, strategies, and stories of today's most successful entrepreneurs, investors, athletes, and entertainers. This week, Nick sits down with the high level real estate investor who achieved financial freedom on the highest level Toby Mathis.   He has a foundation as a tax attorney and entrepreneur as well as co-founder of Anderson Advisors and founder of Infinity Investing where he helps people to uncover the proven wealth‑building systems that everyday people can use to achieve financial freedom.  He also recently opened One Kick Gym in Las Vegas with the legendary Nick Blomgren! Toby studied thousands of tax returns and balance sheets from some of the wealthiest individuals in America and found the blueprint to financial freedom where he copied it himself first and proved it WORKS for everybody.  He now shares those strategies with us to teach you how to make enough cash flow to cover your lifestyle through your assets and to preserve wealth through Tax and Asset Protection.   With over 300 doors in real estate, multiple streams of cash flow, and decades of experience in stocks, syndications, and turnkey properties, Toby has built a blueprint for success rooted in data, discipline, and long‑term strategy. In this episode, he shares how you can copy the same patterns used by millionaires to grow wealth steadily and sustainably. But this conversation goes far beyond numbers. Toby's background in martial arts and combat sports has shaped his philosophy on resilience, discipline, and pushing forward when life hits hard. Toby has lived the fighter's mentality both inside and outside the ring. He explains how the lessons learned in combat sports—like staying in the fight when things get tough—translate directly into business, investing, and personal growth.

Jason and Michael Zuber explore the "refi till you die" real estate investment strategy, which focuses on accumulating wealth through long-term asset ownership rather than selling properties for profit. This approach mimics the financial tactics of the ultra-wealthy by utilizing tax-free borrowed money from refinanced equity to fund one's lifestyle. By leveraging residential real estate, investors can benefit from inflation-induced debt destruction while tenants effectively pay down the mortgages over time. The strategy emphasizes that debt is a powerful tool for wealth extraction because loans are not subject to income or capital gains taxes. Additionally, the discussion highlights the long-term benefits of a stepped-up basis, which allows heirs to inherit property with significantly reduced tax liabilities. Ultimately, they argue that consistent leverage and asset retention provide a superior path to financial independence compared to traditional stock market exits. https://onerentalatatime.com/ Catch Jason at Michael's event!

Series: EssentialsWeek 4: Make an ImpactBig Idea:Making an impact isn't about equal amounts—it's about equal surrender.Following Jesus expands our capacity, grows our generosity, and calls us to join His mission with our whole lives.Transformation is not static. When we follow Jesus, our lives should be growing—growing in freedom, love, generosity, and impact. As we walk with Him, God increases our capacity to love and serve others. What once felt exhausting begins to feel joyful, because grace grows as obedience grows.Jesus confronts fake spirituality that looks holy on the outside but consumes people on the inside. In Luke 20, He warns against leaders who love status, attention, and appearance while exploiting the vulnerable. God is not impressed by public spirituality that lacks private sacrifice. The church is not built on image, influence, or talent—it's built on integrity and sacrifice.Immediately after this warning, Jesus highlights what real devotion looks like. In Luke 21, He watches people give at the temple treasury. Wealthy individuals give out of abundance, but a poor widow gives two small coins—everything she has. Jesus declares that she gave more than all the others, redefining generosity not by amount, but by sacrifice and trust.The widow didn't just give money—she gave security. She didn't give comfortably—she gave sacrificially. Making an impact isn't about how much you give; it's about how much of yourself you surrender.But giving is not the finish line—mission is. God didn't save us to be donors; He saved us to be disciples. Some people give money without joining the mission. Others serve faithfully but withhold generosity. Real surrender shows up somewhere—for all of us. Time, talent, and treasure are all part of a surrendered life.Jesus' final command wasn't “stay and sit,” but “go and make disciples.” And He didn't send us alone—He promised His presence with us always. The mission comes with power and promise.Vertical exists because people matter to God. And if people matter to God, they matter to us. We don't live for comfort—we live to make an impact. We don't just fund the mission—we join it.

I came across a Wall Street Journal article about families making over $250,000, putting them in the top 10% of all household incomes in the country, who still don't feel wealthy. One family earning $350,000 (in the top 4%) owns two homes, has three kids in club sports, and can't shake the feeling that they're struggling. In this episode, I explore why modern life makes it so hard to feel like you have enough. How our standards of living have improved dramatically, but we've just created different problems. Why kids' activities drain families more than almost anything else. And how the real challenge, as Morgan Housel says, is getting the goalpost to stop moving. This week: Look back at where you started instead of comparing yourself to some moving horizon ahead. Check your household income against national percentiles. You might be surprised how far you've come. Connect with Paul Contact Paul here or schedule a time to meet with Paul here. For resources discussed in this episode, visit tammacapital.com/podcast.

Garrett Melson reacts to President Trump's announcement that he will not impose tariffs on the EU that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1 as he continues to attempt to take over Greenland. Looking over the economy, he thinks the boost in growth from the tax bill will be limited as it favors higher income earners that are more likely to save or invest money than spend. Markets may be “overly sanguine” on the growth backdrop, he argues. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

It's not hard to see, many in our world have a love and thirst for wealth. They'll do just about anything under the sun to obtain it. But today we'll observe the real danger in that sort of living.In the passage before us James confronts those who were hoarding what they have, not paying their laborers for the work they did, and their indulgence. It would be a good time for us to look in the mirror and consider our relationship to what we've been given. We'll be held accountable by God for that.

WHEN DOES A $1000 MONTHLY CAR PAYMENT MAKE SENSE? FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS Sandy Hornor | CEPS Managing Director, Wealth Management & Executive Manager Tessa Hall Media and Communications Specialist About This Episode Car payments are getting larger, and higher interest rates are forcing many buyers to rethink their decisions. In this episode, members of the BWFA team discuss when a car payment may make sense and how to evaluate financing decisions within a broader financial plan. For more information, visit BWFA's Financial Planning Services page. Read Full Description Car buying decisions have become more complicated as vehicle prices rise and interest rates remain elevated. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA advisors explore when a car payment makes financial sense and how borrowers should evaluate the true cost of financing a vehicle. The conversation begins with a look at recent data showing that a growing share of buyers are paying $1,000 or more per month for a car. While that number can be alarming, the advisors explain that whether a payment is reasonable depends on several factors, including interest rates, loan terms, cash flow, and overall financial priorities. They discuss the trade-off between borrowing at low interest rates versus paying cash, especially when investments may offer higher long-term returns. However, with auto loan rates now averaging in the mid-to-high six percent range, that math has changed for many buyers. The advisors also highlight common mistakes, such as selling long-term investments to pay off a car or borrowing from retirement accounts to fund a purchase. The discussion touches on newer tax rules that allow certain taxpayers to deduct a portion of auto loan interest. Ultimately, this episode reinforces that car decisions should not be made in isolation. Evaluating financing options as part of a comprehensive financial plan can help buyers make choices that support both their lifestyle and long-term financial security.

In this episode of the Be Wealthy Podcast, Brett Tanner sits down with his longtime CPA, tax strategist, and trusted advisor Brian Muia for a deep dive into entrepreneurship, wealth-building, and advanced tax strategy.Brian shares his journey from growing up with limited resources to building and exiting multiple businesses, including companies in software, steel recycling, and accounting. He breaks down how early lessons around hard work, leverage, and replaceability shaped his entrepreneurial mindset — and why building a business that doesn't rely on you is the key to true freedom.The conversation goes deep into passive income, leverage, exits, subscription-based businesses, and the latest tax strategies from the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Brian explains how smart planning around depreciation, Section 179, QSBS, and opportunity zones can dramatically accelerate wealth creation for entrepreneurs and real estate investors.This episode blends real-world business lessons, mindset, and highly tactical tax insights every serious entrepreneur should understand.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The interview aims to: 1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it. 2. Educate listeners on the distinction between rich and wealthy Jolley wants audiences to understand wealth in generational, not short-term, terms. 3. Motivate individuals to shift their financial mindset From “working money” to “mailbox money.” 4. Empower entrepreneurs and families To adopt discipline, drop pride, and create multigenerational financial systems. 5. Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts). Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability. A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 2. The Five Money Mindsets Jolley explains five financial mindsets: One‑day mindset – living day to day. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income). Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time. 3. Five Types of Wealth Jolley breaks wealth into five categories: Financial Wealth Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown) Relationship Wealth Reputational Wealth (Brand) Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for) 4. Discipline Is the Key Wealth requires: Living below your means Investing the difference Consistency Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 6. The Three Legs of Wealth To build sustainable wealth, you need: Income Investment (letting money work for you) Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 7. Multiple Streams of Income Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from: Stocks Bonds Real estate Crypto Collectibles Jewelry Art Content creation 8. Overcoming Setbacks Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book. 9. It’s Never Too Late to Start He cites examples of: A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” On Rich vs. Wealthy “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth.” On Growth & Learning “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” On Starting Late “When is the best time to plant a tree?

Meghna Maharishi talks about how United Airlines' (UAL) earnings performance will hinge on the resilience of wealthy travelers, a key demographic driving revenue for premium and international segments. The industry watches for potential domestic upside from Spirit Airlines' (SAVE) uncertain future, which could see a merger with Frontier Group Holdings (ULCC) or Chapter 7 bankruptcy. While United has historically been more optimistic than Delta Airlines (DAL), its earnings call is expected to largely align with Delta's conservative tone.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Angels and Awakening – Pray & Be Wealthy Series In this powerful angel message, Julie Jancius reframes wealth as a sacred, spiritual state that existed long before money. Drawing from ancient wisdom and a timeless Taoist parable, this episode invites you to release guilt around receiving, soften long-held beliefs about money and support, and step fully into your divinely supported life. If you've ever felt uncomfortable accepting help, charging what you're worth, or allowing yourself to receive blessings, this message is for you. Divine wealth begins the moment you give yourself permission to sit down, receive, and let heaven meet you where you are. Short Episode Chapters 00:00 Welcome & the true meaning of wealth 01:06 Ancient wisdom on divine support 02:10 The woman who would not sit 04:09 How limiting beliefs impact our children 05:38 Angels on under-earning and over-giving 07:03 What it means to take your seat 09:05 Receiving as a spiritual practice 10:28 Heaven lives within you Angel Integration Practice This week, practice receiving. Once a day, allow someone to help you in any way, time, support, or care. When your instinct is to say “I'm fine,” pause. Then gently say instead: “Actually, I do need help with this.” No explaining. No apologizing. Notice what shifts in your body, your energy, and your heart when you allow yourself to be supported. Key Takeaways Wealth is alignment, not accumulation Receiving is not selfish; it is sacred When you rest, you give others permission to rest Divine wealth expands your capacity to love and lead Heaven is not distant; it lives within you Work with Julie & Your Angels If you've been feeling the nudge I want to hear my angels clearly, I want to work with them every day, here's how to go deeper:

For over a decade, she conducted research at the Placenta Lab at Jena University Hospital, where she studied placenta remedies through both a scientific and holistic lens. Dr. Sophia also shares insights from her book Placenta Power, including practical preparation protocols, postpartum nourishment recipes, and why every woman deserves access to information that allows her to make empowered choices about her body. This episode is a powerful invitation to reclaim postpartum wisdom, honor the intelligence of the female body, and challenge the systems that have dismissed women's lived experiences for centuries. Tune in to hear: What the placenta actually is and why it's essential to life, healing, and postpartum recovery Why placenta consumption (placentophagy) exists across cultures and why language around it matters How modern medicine has historically overlooked women's postpartum needs What Sophia discovered through laboratory analysis of placenta tissue, including hormones, trace elements, and microorganisms The connection between hormone withdrawal after birth and postpartum mood disorders Why many women report increased energy, improved mood, enhanced milk supply, and reduced bleeding after consuming their placenta The difference between raw, dehydrated, and steamed placenta preparations and how each impacts hormonal content How placenta remedies were historically used in both European and Chinese medicine The spiritual, energetic, and symbolic significance of the placenta as the "tree of life" Why informed consent and bodily sovereignty are central to postpartum care How women can choose what happens to their placenta (from encapsulation to burial to ritual) Connect with Sophia: Learn more about Sophia and her work: https://sophia-johnson.de/ Follow Sophia on Instagram: @dr_sophiajohnson_md Placenta Power
