In this thought-provoking episode, David and Jalen unpack the hidden costs of a scarcity mindset and why “being cheap” can actually set you back financially. They dive deep into the psychology of wealth, exploring how our environment, upbringing, and the language we use around money shape our financial identity.
From breaking generational money habits to practical strategies for improving credit, this episode offers both mindset shifts and actionable game.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
