Breaking Free of Your Boxes Unlocking Freedom Through Wealth: How Betsy Pepine Built a Real Estate Empire Rooted in Debt-Free Living What if the secret to wealth wasn't just making more—but making smart, intentional choices with what you already have? In this powerful episode of Richer Soul, Betsy Pepine shares the remarkable story of how she went from a frugal childhood in New Jersey to becoming a best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, and leader of one of the top real estate brokerages in the U.S. Her philosophy? Live below your means, stay out of debt, and use money as a tool for freedom—not flash. Keep reading to discover how Betsy's old-school money values led to next-level success. Key Takeaways: Freedom Is the Ultimate Currency. Betsy doesn't chase money for status—it's all about freedom of choice. Whether it's the freedom to give generously, pivot professionally, or sleep soundly at night, financial independence gives her control over her destiny. Debt-Free Living Is a Superpower. Raised by parents who shunned debt (aside from a mortgage), Betsy never bought anything she couldn't pay for in cash. This mindset helped her grow her wealth without compromising her peace of mind—even when financial experts told her to leverage more. Entrepreneurship Isn't About Money—It's About Impact. From her first childhood hustle to building Pepine Realty, Betsy always had an entrepreneurial drive. But her motivation wasn't the money—it was about creating options and helping others, especially families in housing crisis through her nonprofit, Pepine Gives. Lead with Intention, Not Ego. Despite her high-profile endorsements from Barbara Corcoran, Dave Ramsey, and Glenn Beck, Betsy remains grounded. Her approach to leadership, family, and business is rooted in humility, service, and vision. Money Learnings: Betsy learned about money by observing her parents, who lived frugally and prioritized saving over spending. They avoided debt at all costs—except for a mortgage, which they paid off quickly. Though she thought they were poor, it was a deliberate choice to live below their means and fund their children's education debt-free. This instilled in her a deep respect for financial discipline, a preference for peace of mind over leverage, and the belief that money is best used as a tool for freedom. About Betsy Pepine: Betsy Pepine is a real estate powerhouse, educator, and philanthropist. As the founder and broker-owner of Pepine Realty, she has led her team to national recognition, including repeated listings on the Inc. 5000, Top 50 Florida Companies to Watch, and Florida Trend's Best Companies to Work For. Beyond her brokerage, Betsy runs a real estate school, a title company, and a property management firm. She's a Wharton MBA, a Duke economics grad, and founder of Pepine Gives, a nonprofit helping at-risk families with housing. Key Discussion Points: How childhood perceptions of money shape adult financial behavior. Why Betsy never cared about keeping up with the Joneses—even when she could. The misunderstood relationship between wealth and worth. How to build businesses aligned with your values, not just profits. Why mentorship from legends like Barbara Corcoran matters (and how she earned it). Practical tools for keeping your team aligned and inspired. Conclusion: In a world obsessed with appearances and fast money, Betsy Pepine is a breath of fresh air—proof that timeless principles still win. Her journey shows us that when you align your values with your financial decisions, wealth becomes not just a number—but a life of purpose, peace, and power.

Shoot us a Text.We're under 2 months away from the auto industry accelerator, ASOTU CON! You can get your tickets now at asotucon.com.Today we're talking about how tech giant Foxconn is getting ready to reveal new EV partnerships and speculate on who those could be. Plus, we cover affordability easing and In N Out's servant leadership mentality.Around 80 tornados were reported as a result of this past weekend's powerful storm system, leaving a trail of destruction across the Central and Eastern US. As the communities affected begin to rebuild, we know dealers will do what they do best—step up, lend a hand, and take care of their neighbors. At ASOTU, we're here to amplify their efforts, share their stories, and support in any way we can.Taiwanese tech giant Foxconn, better known as Apple's iPhone manufacturer, is reportedly closing in on EV partnerships with two Japanese companies. This news follows speculation about a possible alliance with Nissan or Honda, especially after their failed merger talks.Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. (Foxconn's official name) is expected to finalize the deals within two months, according to Chairman Young Liu.Liu did not confirm the companies but emphasized contract design and manufacturing services as part of the agreements.The March 11 appointment of Ivan Espinosa as Nissan's CEO could pave the way for new negotiations.Foxconn is making global EV plays, having already signed deals with ZF Group (axle systems), Stellantis (semiconductors), and Infineon (silicon carbide chips), and aiming to start North American production of its Model C crossover in late 2025 to counter rising U.S. tariffs.Liu: “We are not looking to acquire Nissan but are interested in working with them.”New-vehicle affordability improved in February, reaching its best level in over three years, according to the Cox Automotive/Moody's Analytics Vehicle Affordability Index.The average price of new vehicles fell by 1.3% for the month, improving affordability despite higher interest rates.Auto loan rates rose slightly to 10.16%, the highest in four months, but income growth (+3.5% YoY) helped offset this.Typical monthly car payments declined to $748, down 1.1% month-over-month and 1.3% YoY.It now takes 37.2 weeks of median income to buy a new vehicle, an improvement from 39.0 weeks a year ago.On the heels of being named the 8th Best Company to Work For, In-N-Out Burger CEO Lynsi Snyder credits her “servant leadership” approach as the driving force behind the company's success. The heiress views her employees as family and follows a leadership philosophy that prioritizes the employees over executive demands, or as we would say around here: “Love People More Than You Love Hamburgers”Servant leadership focuses on employee growth and well-being, a value Snyder says she inherited from her family.Her grandfather built the foundation with hard work and passion, while her father emphasized humility and quality.HeHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

What comes to mind when someone talks about bringing your mind to work? Many of us might argue that you can't come to work without bringing your mind. But what does it truly mean to bring your mind to work?In this episode, we explore the concept of bringing your mind to work, derived from my book, The Spirit of Work. This idea emphasizes the integration of rational thinking in the workplace. We examine how the mind, described in Bahá'í teachings as the rational soul, engages in different types of thinking—perceptual, conceptual, and creative. Each type can be applied to tackle tasks and solve problems effectively.Additionally, we discuss the significance of mindfulness in making rational decisions and how collaborative efforts often lead to better outcomes than individual attempts. I share stories of a plant manager and an oil and gas rig manager, "Zach" (a pseudonym), who learned that inclusive leadership and seeking input from employees at all levels can result in safer, more productive, and successful work environments.Quote: “Mindlessness is a result of actions taken without any concern for their consequences. Mindfulness, on the other hand, involves using all the powers of the mind to enhance and expand the experience of the moment to its fullest and to make decisions from a fully activated rational soul.” “Thinking isn't uniform; different tasks require different types of thinking.”Bringing Your Mind to Work: For me, bringing my mind to work means using all the powers of my rational soul, both consciously and unconsciously, to solve workplace problems or accomplish tasks. It involves employing the full "toolkit" of my mind.For example:A doctor uses their mind to diagnose illnesses and prescribe remedies.A chef applies creativity to design meals.A recruiting manager uses critical thinking to identify and hire the best candidates.The Importance of Bringing Your Mind to Work:1. Collaboration: Critical thinking is often lacking, but collaborative problem-solving produces better results by leveraging diverse perspectives.For example, a plant manager who was confident in his rollout plan presented it to supervisors without seeking their input. Within minutes, they identified 13 flaws in his plan. This humbling experience demonstrated the value of expertise from those closest to the work. Initially reluctant, he eventually involved frontline employees, including those with limited English proficiency. With the help of translators, these employees provided insights that led to a robust plan, ensuring a smooth rollout with minimal issues. This experience highlighted the power of collective intelligence.2. Safety, Well-Being, Learning, and Encouragement (The "SWEL" Model): Managers often struggle with feeling unrecognized, prompting them to find ways to highlight their work without appearing boastful. Through this process, they often realize that their team members also need recognition.A "bottom-up" approach, where managers help junior staff gain visibility, fosters collaboration and a positive workplace culture.For instance, Zach, an oil and gas rig manager, exemplified humble leadership by valuing his team's skills and fostering collaboration. Recognizing his own limitations, he sought input from his team to improve communication across sites. He introduced monthly online meetings to encourage open dialogue and feedback.Zach's humility created a safe environment for sharing ideas, leading to effective solutions and stronger teamwork. His approach aligned with the SWEL model by making participation inclusive, ensuring all voices were heard, and promoting collective growth.Support the show

In this episode, Lisa and Sharon discuss:What sets the Birkman Method apart is different from other assessments for college and career clarity.How your teen can use the Birkman as a starting point to understand themself - not just academically, but also to their environment and others.How narrowing options can increase confidence and lead to more satisfying career choices.Why focusing on the “next first step” rather than a “forever future” can ease the pressure when planning for college and beyond.Key Takeaways: Birkman is unique because it pinpoints the motivations behind behaviors without burdening students with multiple questionnaires.Our needs and expectations are like the roots of a tree - they ground us and influence our personal health and well-being.Things you enjoy during personal time are just as crucial as work for long-term fulfillment.The Birkman system funnels all career possibilities into fewer select paths so your teen has options that are most likely to work for them. “It's a broad world out there of career opportunities. If you look at your top three or four percentiles of interest, those are going to be excellent cues about a healthy direction for you to head, whether it's something that you do on the side that makes you happy, or whether it's included in your day job.” – Sharon BirkmanEpisode Reference: Is now the right time for your teen's College Major and Career Planning? flourishcoachingco.com/quiz About Sharon Birkman: Sharon Birkman began her role as Birkman International's President and CEO in 2002, becoming Chairman in 2022.

Hosts: Taylor Morgan & Rusty Cannon Senate Democrats to introduce new border security bill KSL at Night kicks off a new week with hosts Taylor Morgan and Rusty Cannon discussing news that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will reintroduce a border security bill. Some Republicans say the bill is a political stunt, so they won’t support it. Speaker Mike Johnson says the bill is dead on arrival in the House. The hosts discuss if the bill will go anywhere. Prosecution rests amidst bombshells in Trump hush money trial Trump’s hush money trial could wrap up as soon as next week.

The KSL at Night hosts are joined by Greg Skordas, KSL Legal Analyst, to break down what happened today and what it means for the rest of this trial. Role of third parties in the new presidential debates When the modified presidential debates were announced, voters started showing some concern about the elimination of the third parties. Now, we’re learning that 7 in 10 voters want to see third-party and independent candidates in presidential debates this cycle. Taylor and Rusty discuss the decision to modify debates and how it called into question the potency of the long-standing debate organizer. Voters’ concerns about inflation and how it’ll affect elections Lots of issues affect how people vote in elections. Border security, abortion rights, election security – all big ones. But a new poll finds that inflation is “far and away” the biggest issue for Americans heading into the 2024 election. It’s affecting Biden’s approval ratings, but it’s not a clear-cut finding. President Biden has insisted that higher prices and inflation is due to “corporate greed” but do the KSL at Night hosts agree? The race for Salt Lake County Council, At-Large seat This election, voters in Salt Lake County will pick a new at-large council member. Two Republicans will take part in the June primary for this seat, as will two Democrats. We start our week-long coverage by interviewing one of the candidates, Michael Carey, GOP candidate for Salt Lake County Council, At-Large. We also plan to speak with all the candidates in the race this week, right here on KSL at Night.

Although there was no specific number for how much money was spent on the ads, this remains a large funding effort in a very important race. The KSL at Night hosts delve into the details. Republican party in-fighting in Arizona and elsewhere After losing the race for Arizona governor in 2020, Kari Lake is back in the spotlight, this time running for Kyrsten Simena’s senate seat. But rifts within the state GOP could hurt hers – and Donald Trump’s — chances of winning. Samuel Benson, Deseret News Political Correspondent, explains why this race, in one of the most critical swing-states in the country, could be hurting the party’s chances with the general electorate.
