What if your sales commissions could multiply while you sleep? The Cypher founders reveal how to turn active income into passive wealth without learning to trade.
Garret Myers and Matt Fair are the co-founders of Cypher, an algorithmic trading platform born in the door-to-door sales world. In this episode, they sit down with Sam Taggart to talk real about money — how most reps blow it, why instant gratification kills long-term wealth, and what it actually means to be an investor (hint: it’s not about being rich, it’s about being free).
You’ll learn how Cypher helps salespeople invest smarter, the emotional traps that lead to poor financial decisions, and why even $5 can change your relationship with money. Whether you’re in your first summer or leading a team of 100+, this episode breaks down how to make your money work harder than you do.
In this conversation, Sam Taggart and the Cypher founders discuss:
- The psychology of instant gratification in sales and why most reps struggle to convert high income into long-term wealth.
- How Cypher uses algorithmic trading to help door-to-door professionals grow passive income without needing financial expertise.
- Why diversification matters—and how to think about liquidity, risk tolerance, and emotional discipline as part of a simple investment plan.
- The role of identity in wealth building—how shifting from “spender” to “investor” can change everything, even if you start with just $5.
- What most managers get wrong about keeping reps “broke” for motivation—and why mature, financially stable reps are actually better performers.
- How to avoid common investing mistakes, from FOMO-fueled crypto bets to trusting the wrong people—and how to protect yourself from tilt.
