Keep winning! 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? Eighty years ago. The second-best time? Today.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Find me on Substack!Daniel Kertesz is a Zurich-based second-generation family entrepreneur, integrated family advisor, and author of Family Mind: Overcoming the Three-Generation Myth, who draws on his lived experience selling his family's multi-decade business to help wealthy families build resilient, values-driven legacies that outlast any single company.3:00 — Daniel traces his origins: father fled Hungary in 1956, mother fled Romania; both built a company in Switzerland. "I'm officially the first born, but actually not. The company was first."5:00 — On inherited trauma and silence: father survived the Holocaust, never spoke of it. "These stories were kind of heavy on our shoulder without us knowing."9:44 — The sale of the family business: "I was not happy. I was just relieved." His mother's first question days after signing: "Are you happy now?" The emotional toll on the whole family — parents, siblings, spouse — came later.13:38 — Packing up his office after 20+ years, leaving keys on the table as COVID began. "I didn't think that it would be the last time I would be there."18:00 — Introducing family mind: European families put the business at the center; the shift is to put the family at the center. "The family has a longer lifespan than the company."22:50 — Debunking the "shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves" myth: it's not fate, it's a focus problem. When you center the company, the myth often holds. When you center the family, there's a different path.36:33 — The "gray rhinos": death, divorce, and silence are the biggest risks to family wealth — far more destructive than market risk — yet almost no one addresses them.44:48 — "The biggest entrepreneurial lie is that I did everything for you." First, you do it for yourself. Acknowledging that gets you closer to the real questions.1:02:03 — On what separates families that thrive: courage. "No advisor can give them that courage. It's their courage." And: "Don't wait until you're 80."1:06:11 — Closing definition of success: "Look around the table. Look at all these people here. This is your life."Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC. All statements and opinions expressed are based upon information considered reliable although it should not be relied upon as such.

Veronique de Rugy argues that the U.S. already has the most progressive tax system among OECD countries, with the wealthy paying a disproportionate share of revenue. She critiques Thomas Piketty's proposal for a global wealth tax and mandated "degrowth," characterizing it as an effort to limit national growth under the guise of climate and social justice.

Most retirement planning focuses on building wealth. But what happens when age, illness, or cognitive decline make it difficult, or impossible, to manage your money?In this episode of The Capitalist Investor, Diamond Hands D is joined by Sam and Jack to talk through one of the most important retirement planning conversations families tend to avoid: how to protect your finances before something goes wrong.They discuss why cognitive decline is a real concern in retirement, why legal documents need to be handled before they are needed, and how tools like durable power of attorney, trusted contact designations, revocable living trusts, health care proxies, and financial power of attorney can help protect both retirees and their families.The team also covers practical steps beyond legal documents, including naming beneficiaries, consolidating accounts, creating a financial inventory, automating the right bills, reviewing auto transfers, and making sure someone trusted is watching out for potential fraud or exploitation.The biggest takeaway: building wealth is only part of the plan. You also need to make sure your family knows where everything is, who can act on your behalf, and what to do if you can no longer make financial decisions on your own. 

The wealth you want is often built in the choices no one else can see.In this solo episode of Life of And, Tiffany breaks down a financial framework that can change how you think about money, time, and the life you are building. Instead of only asking whether something fits your monthly budget, Tiffany challenges listeners to ask: does this decision make me money, save me time, or help me build something? That simple filter turns everyday choices, from childcare to subscriptions to cash sitting in an account, into a clearer way to protect your energy, grow your options, and support a more abundant future.This conversation is a practical reminder that looking successful and building real wealth are not the same thing. Tiffany shares personal examples from her own family's decisions, including investing in childcare, choosing public school, putting cash to work, and saying no to spending that only creates the appearance of success. Listeners will walk away with a more grounded way to evaluate financial choices, understand income statement versus balance sheet thinking, and take simple steps toward a life with more freedom, flexibility, and intention.What You'll LearnHow to tell the difference between income statement thinking and balance sheet thinkingWhy invisible financial choices can create more freedom, flexibility, and long-term wealthThree simple actions to help your money and time start working harder for the life you actually wantTimestamps:(00:00) Intro(02:12) The three purchases test(03:50) Income statement vs balance sheet thinking(07:52) How your balance sheet shows what you're building(10:12) Why a budget is not enough(11:52) When childcare becomes a time investment(15:20) The real cost behind family decisions(18:01) The trap of looking wealthy(18:17) What happens when you invest the monthly spend(23:47) How to get your cash working for you(29:20) The scoreboard that really matters(30:26) Three money moves to make nowLike this episode?

If investing has ever felt confusing, overwhelming, or like everyone else got a manual you somehow missed, this episode is for you. In this episode, I break down how investing actually works from the ground up. We cover what an investment really is, how compound interest creates wealth, why diversification matters, and the biggest mistakes that cause people to lose money. Most importantly, I want you to see that investing isn't complicated. It's simply a skill that nobody taught us. When you understand the foundations, investing stops feeling intimidating and starts feeling empowering. Tune in to learn: What an investment actually is (+ why things like cars, boats, and even some houses aren't necessarily investments) How compound interest really works using a simple apple orchard analogy Why the second decade of investing is exponentially more valuable than the first The biggest investing mistakes people make, from stock picking and crypto concentration to relying on underperforming advisors How to set up investments properly, know your financial freedom numbers, and build a portfolio that grows wealth predictably over time

I’m so excited to share today’s conversation with the wonderful Melissa Browne, author of Dare to Be Wealthy. This episode is all about money, but perhaps not in the way you might expect. We talk about money as freedom. Money as choice. Money as a tool that can help you design a life you love, rather than something that feels overwhelming, complicated or out of reach. I loved this conversation - Melissa makes money feel so approachable. She has such a beautiful way of cutting through the noise and helping us see that building wealth doesn’t have to be about being perfect, knowing everything or having lots of money to begin with. It can start with small, simple steps. In this episode, you’ll hear about: Why being wealthy is really about having choices in your everyday life. How your past money mistakes do not need to define your financial future. Simple money habits you can start this week to create more confidence and freedom. We’ll be going deeper with Melissa inside Dream Life Coaching in July, and we’ll be reading Dare to Be Wealthy in GROW. I hope this conversation inspires you to think differently about money, freedom and what’s possible for your life. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here. Have a wonderful weekend …and remember, it all starts with a dream

THE HIDDEN MILLIONAIRE: ARE YOU WEALTHIER THAN YOU THINK? WATCH ON YOUTUBE Tyler Kluge | CFP®, ChFEB℠, CPWA®, CDFA®, CEPS,  Senior Financial Planner Tessa Hall Media and Communications Specialist About This Episode Tessa speaks with BWFA Financial Planner Tyler Kluge about the concept of the “hidden millionaire”—individuals who have built substantial wealth through consistent saving but may not realize the opportunities available to optimize their financial lives. They discuss why saving money is only one piece of the puzzle and how thoughtful planning can help individuals make more informed decisions about investing, taxes, retirement, and estate planning. The conversation explores cash reserves, forgotten retirement accounts, diversification misconceptions, tax planning, and the importance of understanding your complete financial picture. To learn more about how our financial planning services can help bring clarity to your goals, visit our Financial Planning page. Read Full Description Some people spend years diligently saving money without realizing how much wealth they have accumulated. Others build substantial assets across multiple accounts but never create a comprehensive financial plan. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Tessa speaks with BWFA Financial Planner Tyler Kluge about the concept of the hidden millionaire. They discuss why financial planning goes beyond simply saving money. Many people maintain large cash reserves without evaluating whether those assets align with their goals. Others forget about retirement accounts from previous employers. Some assume they are diversified simply because they have investments at multiple financial institutions. Tyler explains why understanding your net worth is an important first step in the planning process. He also discusses how investment management, tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning work together to create a more complete financial strategy. The conversation also explores forgotten accounts, inefficient portfolio structures, and overlooked tax considerations. These issues can affect long-term financial outcomes. In addition, Tyler explains why individuals with substantial assets should consider how their wealth will transfer to future generations. Ultimately, becoming a hidden millionaire often results from consistent saving habits. However, financial planning can help transform accumulated wealth into a strategy that supports your goals. It can also reduce complexity, provide greater confidence, and help ensure your resources are working effectively.

Building wealth is one challenge. Preserving it, growing it efficiently, and passing it on to future generations is an entirely different game.In this episode, R. Kenner French sits down with financial consultant Mark Miller, partner at Hilton Tax and Wealth Advisors and manager of the Hilton Family Office. Together, they explore how family offices operate, why some of the wealthiest families in the world use them, and how many of the same principles can be applied by entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors who want to build long-term financial security.The conversation covers the origins of the family office model, the importance of coordinated financial planning, advanced tax mitigation strategies, succession planning challenges, and the growing role of artificial intelligence in wealth management.

On this episode of the Deal Farm®, Kevin and Ken sit down with Allen Lomax to explore his journey from single-family real estate investor to wealth preservation and tax strategy expert. Allen shares how the 2008 financial crisis wiped out most of his assets and how that painful reset pushed him to rethink his investing. He breaks down why commercial real estate is more scalable and less risky than single-family, and why he ultimately chose capital raising over direct investing. He also dives into how high-income earners are unknowingly leaving money on the table by keeping 90–95% of their assets in public markets, and what the wealthiest investors do differently to diversify, reduce tax liability, and protect what they've built. If you've ever wondered how the top 1% legally beat the system and preserve generational wealth, this episode is your blueprint.

What if building wealth was exactly like building a house? In this episode of The How To Show, Gino Barbaro breaks down the five stages of building a financial house and explains why most people fail to create lasting wealth. Many people jump straight into investing, crypto, real estate, or business opportunities without first building a strong financial foundation. The result? Their financial house eventually crumbles. Using a simple yet powerful framework, Gino explains how true wealth is created through a step-by-step process that prioritizes stability, education, protection, cash flow, and legacy. Whether you're just beginning your financial journey or looking to strengthen your existing strategy, this episode provides a roadmap for building wealth that lasts.

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax Podcast, I break down some of the biggest misconceptions about wealth taxes, estate taxes, and tax fairness in the United States. We'll explore how the tax system works for the wealthiest Americans, why so many myths persist around taxing wealth, and what these policies mean for everyday people, small business owners, and future generations.I also share the story behind my grassroots campaign to raise awareness about tax justice through art, advocacy, and community action. My goal is to make complex tax issues easier to understand and help more people engage in conversations about economic fairness and social change.Also mentioned in today's episode:00:10 My Art Campaign00:29 The State of Wealth Inequality in the US00:57 Tax Fairness and the Wealthy01:50 Problems with Wealth Tax and Historical Context02:45 Inheritances and the Income Tax System03:41 Hannah's Grassroots Campaign and Art Fundraiser04:41 Understanding the Sunlight Tax Website05:09 Funding the IRS and Tax Enforcement06:34 Myths and Misinformation about Tax Laws07:32 Upcoming Expert Interview with Professor Madoff09:00 Misconceptions about Inheritance and Gift Taxes12:17 The Truth About Estate Taxes and Public Perception16:35 Tax Benefits for Primary Residence SalesIf you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!

Are you being told that renting is smarter than buying? Before you sign another lease, you need to understand who really benefits when you keep renting. In this episode, we break down why wealthy investors, landlords, and corporations continue buying real estate while everyday renters are told to “wait,” “rent,” or “avoid buying right now.” We talk about how your monthly rent may be helping someone else build equity, why luxury apartments can quietly keep renters stuck, and how waiting too long could potentially price you out of homeownership. You will also hear a real-world example of someone paying $2,800 a month for a luxury apartment who may have had the ability to buy a home with a backyard and pool using down payment assistance. This episode is not about saying renting is always bad. It is about helping you understand your options, run the numbers, and make a smarter decision for your future.

Have you ever had a dream that wouldn't quite leave you alone? Not a fleeting idea. Not a New Year's resolution. A dream that keeps quietly tapping you on the shoulder, year after year, even as life gets busy. In this solo episode of It's a Mindset, Emma explores why so many women put their dreams on hold while they focus on everyone else. From careers and caring responsibilities to being the "good girl" and meeting expectations, it's easy to lose sight of what we truly want. Emma shares her own journey of following dreams that once felt impossible - leaving a 25-year corporate career, writing an award-winning and bestselling book, launching a podcast, travelling the world, hosting sound healing events, and now finding herself drawn towards a new possibility: yoga teacher training. This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect and ask yourself a powerful question: What dream have you put on hold? If you've been feeling restless, stuck, unfulfilled, or like there's something more waiting for you, this conversation is for you. As Emma shares in Worthy & Wealthy, true abundance begins with understanding who you are, what you want and having the courage to take the next step. And perhaps your next step starts today. Key Episode Takeaways: Why so many women put their dreams on hold while prioritising everyone else's needs Why the "good girl" conditioning can keep women playing small Why your next chapter doesn't need to be dramatic to be meaningful Three powerful questions to help you reconnect with what you truly want Why permission, support and accountability are often the missing ingredients for change How to recognise when you're ready for your next chapter Journal Prompts Take some time to reflect on these questions: ✨ What dream have I put on hold? ✨ Why did I put it on hold? ✨ What would happen if I finally gave myself permission to pursue it? ✨ If nothing changed over the next five years, how would I feel?

Business owners ask, “How can we get customers to do what we want them to do?”And then they create an app and insist that you download it.How many apps have you been told that you need to download? (Look at your phone and count them.)Generally speaking, retail apps are good because they reduce the friction of your shopping experience. Service provider apps are bad because they increase the friction of your service experience.How many times have you had to reset your password?Have you ever had an app demand the answer to a question that sent you on a mission to find the answer?How many times have you been presented with a pick-list that did not include your need?Do you sometimes feel like you are making things easier for the service provider instead of them making things easier for you?Six different service apps have recently increased my frustration to the point that I am now searching for six new service providers to replace them.I was not surprised when I learned that all six of those companies are in decline.And I'll wager that none of them knows why.Operational efficiency is a worthy objective. Just be careful that you are not shifting your workload onto the shoulders of your customer.Every designer of a service app believes their app is going to be user-friendly, easy to understand, frustration-free, and save the customer a lot of time.In reality, these apps are felt to be unfriendly and frustrating.We both know that the objective is not to save time for us, but for us to save time for the service provider. They have established neat little cubicles to meet their own needs, and now they are telling us to crawl into each little cubicle and do what we are told.This technology is not working for me. It is forcing me to work for them.Wealthy superstar business owners do not ask, “How can we get customers to do what we want them to do?”Superstars ask, “How can we do what customers wish we could do?”Brian Scudamore, Dewey Jenkins, and Aaron Gaynor are superstar builders of service businesses.Each of these superstars has elevated their service business to become a shining star in the dark night of every customer.These men say:“How can we make it effortless and frustration-free for the customer?”“We have to find more ways to make it easier for people to do business with us!”“How can we delight the customer in ways they did not expect?”“We will always have a solution for every customer.

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and his wife reportedly own 54 life insurance policies. Yes, fifty-four! Most people see that headline and think it's extreme. Maybe even a little absurd. Why would anyone hold that many policies? Who does that? But there's a more interesting question worth asking - what does someone who owns 54 policies understand about life insurance that most people were never taught? https://youtu.be/DdGxt2346C8 Because there are two completely different ways to think about life insurance. One is the way most of us were introduced to it: a product you buy, file away, and hope you never need. The other is what someone like Atkins seems to be doing. Building a financial architecture. A system. An infrastructure designed to do real financial work across an entire family and portfolio. That gap is what this article is about. Not Paul Atkins specifically. But what his disclosure reveals about how financially sophisticated people think about control, liquidity, and the capabilities of permanent life insurance that most of us were simply never shown.

Key Takeaways Wealthy families treat life insurance as a capital system, not a product purchase Whole life insurance provides a kind of liquidity and control that no other asset class replicates A life insurance policy is a contract; most other financial assets are accounts, and that distinction matters Multiple policies signal a coordinated financial architecture, not a single coverage decision Family banking uses whole life policy cash value to fund needs within the family without relying on outside lenders Not all life insurance is built for this purpose. A specially designed dividend-paying whole life with a mutual company is the right foundation From Checkbox to Capital System Most people's first exposure to life insurance comes through a W-2 job. You fill out your benefits enrollment paperwork, someone offers you a multiple of your salary, and the pitch is pretty simple: if something happens to you, this replaces what you would have earned. That's not wrong. But it's a very small part of what permanent life insurance can actually do. The consumer mindset asks one question: how little do I need? What's the minimum that takes care of my family, pays off the mortgage, and maybe funds college? That's a reasonable starting point.  But it's also a ceiling. Once you've bought enough to replace income, the logic of that framework says you're done. The business owner mindset asks something completely different. Not how little I can have, but how much I can invest in this to get the most out of it? That question leads somewhere very different, potentially, to 54 policies. The Problem With Only Having One Strategy There's a Thomas Sowell line worth sitting with here: there are no solutions in life, only compromises. Bruce Wehner brought this up at the top of our conversation, and it's the philosophical foundation for everything else we talked about. Anyone absolutely committed to one financial strategy and dismissing everything else isn't being disciplined. They're playing an incomplete game. Think of it like football. You wouldn't go into the championship using only your running back and offensive linemen. Every position exists because every position has a job. Wide receivers do something the offensive line can't. The quarterback does something neither of them can. Financial tools work the same way. A securities-only investor isn't maximizing anything. They're just leaving part of the field empty. Why Wealthy Families Think About Control First Most of us are taught to optimize for rate of return. Net worth is the scoreboard. The fastest-growing asset wins. That framework isn't useless. But it's incomplete, because it ignores the conditions that make returns actually usable. Wealthy families add a different dimension to the scorecard: control. How much autonomy do you have over your capital? Can you access it when you want to? Can you deploy it on your own terms without a bank's approval or an institution's timeline? The Priority Order That Changes Everything Here's the order I've come to think about for financially sophisticated decision-making. Control first. Then access, meaning liquidity and tax treatment. Then guarantees and long-term certainty. Then, growth on top of all of that. That's the opposite of how most people are wired to think. We go straight to growth. We ask about rate of return before we've even asked whether we can get to the money on our terms. The safety, liquidity, and growth triangle is real. You can't maximize all three in a single financial product. A five-year CD gives you safety and predictability but doesn't grow much.  A non-traded REIT might project 18 to 22% IRR, but there's zero liquidity and elevated risk. If you want to hold illiquid, higher-growth positions, you need a guaranteed liquidity cushion somewhere else. Life insurance is often that cushion. Not because it produces the highest returns, but because it's always available and never tied to market conditions. Opportunities Find Cash Nelson Nash used to say, "Opportunities find cash." If you don't have accessible capital, you don't see the opportunity even when it's right in front of you. But if you're sitting on a pool of liquid capital, you can act. That's not just a defensive position; it's an offensive one. And it's one of the things I've found our clients experience firsthand once they have a working cash flow system in place. What 54 Policies Might Actually Be Solving We don't know Paul Atkins' specific financial picture. We're not claiming to. But we can talk through the kinds of financial problems that a sophisticated investor, with a complex estate and a long-term view, might be solving with permanent life insurance. Because each policy is probably doing a job. Estate Equalization Imagine a family business. Two adult children. One wants to run the company; the other doesn't. At death, the default outcomes aren't great. Force both into a partnership and you breed resentment. Have the operating child buy out the other with a loan and you create a cash flow burden from day one. Give one the business and one nothing, and that's obviously not equitable either. A life insurance death benefit can solve this cleanly. One heir receives the business. The other receives a cash equivalent from the policy. No forced partnership. No buyout debt. No hard feelings baked into the inheritance. This is a problem that real estate, retirement accounts, and securities simply cannot solve with the same precision. Business Succession and Deferred Compensation Key man insurance protects a business against the financial impact of losing a critical person, whether that's a top salesperson or a founding partner. The liquidity event from the policy buys time to adapt without being forced to act under pressure. Deferred compensation funded through life insurance is a different use case, but just as valuable. Under ERISA rules, you can't legally contribute more to one employee's 401 (k) than another's. You can't discriminate. But with life insurance, you can. A business owner can set up a policy on a key employee, fund it for five years, and transfer ownership at the end of the term as a form of deferred compensation. It's targeted, legal, and not available through any investment account structure. Liquidity Without Liquidation Highly appreciated assets present a specific problem. Real estate, private equity stakes, business interests: these often aren't liquid. Selling them to cover an opportunity or an emergency usually means a taxable event, often at an inopportune time. Policy cash value doesn't work that way. It's accessible at any time, with no credit approval, no income verification, and no market timing required. You borrow against it for any purpose and repay on your own terms. If your equities are down and you need capital, you don't touch them. You go to the policy. Tax-Advantaged Access During Your Lifetime The death benefit's tax-free treatment is well known. Less talked about is what you can do with cash value while you're still alive. Policy loans let you access accumulated value without triggering income tax. So instead of selling an appreciated position and incurring capital gains, you borrow from the policy.  Whether it's funding an investment, a home renovation, or bringing the whole family together for a vacation, the access doesn't create a tax event. The alternative, pulling from a qualified account, hits you with ordinary income tax plus potential penalties. That's a genuinely different category of financial flexibility.

HOW MENOPAUSE AFFECTS MUSCLE, METABOLISM, AND HEALTH WATCH ON YOUTUBE Tessa Hall Media and Communications Specialist Dr. Brooke Bussard Lifestyle Medicine Physician Author, Outsmarting Menopause About This Episode Tessa speaks with Brooke Bussard, M.D., author of Outsmarting Menopause, about how women can better support their health during and after menopause. They discuss how estrogen affects the body, why strength training and nutrition become increasingly important, and how lifestyle choices can help support muscle, metabolism, body composition, and long-term wellness. The conversation also explores hot flashes, fiber, gut health, soybeans, hormone replacement therapy, and why menopause should be approached as a whole-body transition. To learn more about Dr. Bussard and her book, visit her website or view Outsmarting Menopause on Amazon. Dr. Bussard's website: https://drbrookebussard.com/ Purchase the Book Read Full Description Menopause affects far more than reproductive health. It can influence muscle, metabolism, body composition, sleep, inflammation, and long-term disease risk. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Tessa speaks with Brooke Bussard, M.D., author of Outsmarting Menopause, about menopause and healthy aging. They discuss why estrogen plays such an important role throughout the body and what women can do as estrogen levels decline. The conversation explains why strength training becomes especially important after menopause. Brooke discusses how heavier resistance training, including the 5×5 method, can help support muscle activation and long-term strength. She also explains how interval training may help women adapt their fitness routines during this stage of life. Nutrition is another major focus. Brooke discusses how fiber supports gut health, reduces inflammation, supports metabolism, and promotes overall wellness. She also explains the difference between subcutaneous and visceral fat, and why many women notice body composition changes around the midsection during menopause. The episode also explores research on soybeans and hot flashes, including a study that found a significant reduction in vasomotor symptoms after adding soybeans to the diet. Brooke explains why the results may relate to phytoestrogens, metabolites, or a combination of factors. Ultimately, menopause is not only about symptoms. It is a major life transition that overlaps with aging. By focusing on strength, nutrition, sleep, physical activity, and lifestyle habits, women can take a more proactive approach to long-term health.

It's an exit.The pattern is identical to what played out in San Francisco, Portland, and every other city where progressive governance chased out the productive class. High earners don't announce their departure — they list their homes. When luxury inventory spikes this hard, the people who have options are exercising them.Seattle's city leadership has spent years treating wealth as a problem to be taxed rather than an asset to be retained.

Okay okay, time to sit down and talk about one of the biggest misconceptions everrrr when it comes to money and security. Soo many ambitious women spend years & years of their lives building wealth, businesses, careers, and lives that look incredible from the outside — yet internally still feel anxious, restless, overwhelmed, and unable to truly relax, receive and recharge guilt-free.In today's episode, we're exploring the hidden cost of high achievement, why financial success alone doesn't create emotional security like most people assume, the underlying nervous system patterns that are silently driving overachievement, where the abundance conversation has become performative, and the most common subconscious fears that cause women to self-sabotage right before their next level.If you've ever felt exhausted while crushing it, struggled to slow down without guilt, or have ever found yourself constantly chasing the next milestone without feeling truly fulfilled, this conversation is for you.So babe, grab your matcha, get cozy, and let's dive in.—In this episode, I discuss:02:45 - Why financial success alone often fails to create emotional security06:05 - Emotional safety vs. financial success – and why they don't correlate08:53 - The connection between money & men (hint: masculine energy)12:10 - The illusion of security we gain through achievement (& why it's empty)18:10 - The role of money when it comes to emotional and mental well-being21:02 - Why I started redefining success beyond numbers25:38 - Rewiring relationships & self-concept aka identity32:02 - The cost of overfunctioning and self-sacrifice39:06 - Manifestation beyond aesthetics & affirmations 49:19 - Creating inner safety in success and abundance—Key Takeaways:Some women are rich in money and broke in their nervous system capacity (I can fix that ;))Achievement can create temporary emotional relief, but it cannot create lasting inner safetyIf your worth is tied to productivity, success will neverrrrrrr feel like enoughMoney amplifies what is already present within youA dysregulated nervous system will sabotage success faster than a lack of strategyManifestation is not about acting as if — it's about becoming the woman who can safely hold what she desiresExpansion often triggers subconscious fears around visibility, relationships, responsibility, and receivingThe goal is not just to become successful — it's to feel safe enough to fully enjoy the life you've created—Similar episodes: Ep 160: The hidden cost of being a 'bossbabe' - and the #1 lie women are told about Feminine Energy Ep 157: The Art of Self-Mastery: What it really takes to thrive in life, love, leadership & wealthEP 164: How to be 'that girl' who always gets what she wants - fusing 'IT girl' x 'magnetic queen' energy—Connect with Laura: Laura's Website: https://www.lauraherde.com/Laura's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laura.herde/Laura's 1-1 Coaching: https://www.lauraherde.com/application-1-1Laura's Coaching Certification Course: https://www.instagram.com/embodiedcoachacademy/>> EMAIL ME TO CONNECT/ FOR QUESTIONS: hello@lauraherde.com>> FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM FOR MORE CONTENT: @laura.herde Feel free to share this episode with your bestie, and tag us on IG when you listen so we can repost you.If you're a loyal listener and would like to support the show, leave us a rating/ review, it means the world!Make sure to be subscribed to UNFUCK YOUR LIFE, we publish episodes for you every single Tuesday.Thank you so much for tuning in, love xx

On this episode of What's On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen dives headfirst into the controversial layers of North Dakota's upcoming election cycle. Scott exposes what he views as a deeply sinister motive behind the seemingly wholesome "free school lunch" constitutional ballot measure, tracing its massive financial backing straight to a militant pro-abortion group out of California. Later, Max Cassette, CFO of local ag-tech star 701x, joins the studio to show off their cutting-edge GPS solar ear tags—a brilliant piece of homegrown innovation that is revolutionizing cattle tracking, slashing calf mortality rates, and restoring sanity to ranchers. In the second half, Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak calls in to explain how she is fighting to codify common-sense flexibility into the EPA's burdensome Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) regulations to save American farmers billions in costly repairs. Plus, Michael Mortensen maps out the University of Mary's historic upcoming 5th annual pilgrimage to America's only approved Marian apparition site, and Carter Eisinger of the Cass County Republicans drops by to give a live look at early voting data and outline why local municipal races are the ultimate battleground for property taxes. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:01] The Million-Dollar School Lunch Scheme: Scott unpacks why an out-of-state special interest group is pouring massive money into a "mom and apple pie" free lunch ballot measure to quietly build a massive database of progressive voters. [00:02:12] Wealthy vs. Needy: Scott challenges the lack of means testing in the proposed legislation, arguing that wealthy families shouldn't have their children's meals heavily subsidized by average taxpayers. [00:03:29] Connecting the Ballot Dots: Callers and hosts debate the ultimate end game of the out-of-state funding, warning listeners that this "loss leader" measure is designed to pave the way for reshaping the state's constitutional stance on abortion and state spending. [00:06:22] Breaking News in the Gubernatorial Race: Scott drops live breaking news as the Republican party officially releases its candidates from previous conventions pledges, opening a highly competitive primary path for Lisa Dameth and Ryan Wilson. [00:07:36] 701x High-Tech Cattle Tracking: CFO Max Cassette introduces the XT Pro and XT Light ear tags, explaining how solar-powered cellular and satellite connectivity are changing livestock record-keeping from birth to processing. [00:09:41] Edge AI in the Pasture: Max explains how 701x bypasses the internet by utilizing "Edge Artificial Intelligence" directly on the ear tags to monitor calving behavior and spot sickness days before visual symptoms occur.…

Katia Bolotin is a Torah educator, speaker, and author, based in Israel. Her thought-provoking articles and audio talks highlight the enduring relevance of Torah in our ever-changing world. Katia's focus on personal growth harmonizes with the Torah's wisdom of how to best cultivate and maintain that growth. Katia is also a pianist, songwriter, and composer of contemporary classical music. Her original musical compositions can be streamed at Katia Bolotin on SoundCloud. Katia released an insightful book called Timeless Torah Wisdom: Making It Relevant For Our Ever-Changing World that is the subject of this interview. Katia teaches us about the importance of spiritual wealth. While many of us chase monetary wealth, a perfect body, and relationships, Katia helps us understand that those things are only the MEANS to and END. The marriage, the flat stomach, the gorgeous house, and everything else that we want are not the end in itself. Katia shows us how to see beyond the superficial qualities of someone or something that we love and look beyond it to see that it was Hashem who created it for us. She gives us a great exercise to teach us how to see Hashem as the Source of everything, and how to internalize that realization. Katia discusses the importance of seeing every obstacle and challenge in our lives at a set up, and not as a set back. She teaches us to apply Torah wisdom to changing our perspective on any challenge, and thereby using Torah to help us OVERCOME our challenges. "When you change the way you see things, the things that you see change."In this poignant conversation, we learn how to go from being a victim to being a victor, just like Joseph did when he found himself thrown into a pit by his brothers. If he thought of himself as being left in a pit to die, he would have drowned in his victimhood. Instead, he looked at himself as being sent into the pit for a higher purpose, which later revealed itself when he became a leader in Egypt, and saved the people (including his own family) from famine. We are all put into this world to achieve our own unique purpose--NOBODY else can do it for us. We may look or dress the same, but our intentions are different; our life experiences are different, and because of that, the way we approach people and situations is different.

To better understand how Medicare planning fits into your broader retirement strategy, visit our Financial Planning services page. Read Full Description Choosing a Medicare plan involves more than comparing monthly premiums. Coverage, deductibles, prescriptions, and long-term healthcare needs can all impact which plan makes the most sense. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Tessa speaks with BWFA's Thad about how to compare Medicare plans and evaluate different coverage options. They explain the differences between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans, as well as how Medigap policies and prescription drug coverage fit into the overall picture. The discussion also highlights why many individuals overpay for Medicare. In many cases, people continue using the same plan year after year without reviewing costs or comparing alternatives. Travel coverage is another important consideration. Some Medicare Advantage plans may include coverage for healthcare outside the United States, while Original Medicare typically does not. The episode also explains why comparing plans regularly matters. Even when benefits remain similar, pricing can vary significantly between providers. Ultimately, Medicare planning requires balancing costs, flexibility, and healthcare needs. Understanding your options can help you make more informed decisions, avoid unnecessary expenses, and feel more confident about your healthcare coverage throughout retirement as healthcare needs and costs continue changing over time.

(4) Josiah Osgood describes how Cato's obstructionism forced Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus into an unexpected alliance to advance their interests. Crassus, a wealthy and "shady" financier, funded Caesar's lavish games as an aedile to secure political favor.

Tensions rose over the tribunate's veto power and the divide between Cato's Optimates and Caesar's Populares. While the Senate clung to traditional noble power, Caesar's alliance championed land redistribution and grain reforms to destabilize their control.
