The Perpetual Wealth Podcast

The Perpetual Wealth Podcast

Without motivation, guidance, and cutting-edge information, people will continue to settle for mediocre financial results and unfulfilled life. The Mission of The Wealth Standard Podcast is to empower every listener to pursue and achieve financial independence and live with even more abundance. When people think about their financial situation and what it takes to get ahead, they are frustrated and tired because deep down, they realize that typical products and strategies won't get them there. The Wealth Standard Podcast focuses each episode on the tools, strategies, and motivations of those who are already financially independent. If every interview, commentary, and audience engagement was designed to empower even better financial results, listeners would be motivated to think differently, take massive action, and live a life they love.

How are you actually doing financially? Not “how much do you make” or “what’s in your 401(k),” but how well your whole financial picture is working for you. That’s the question the WealthScore was built to help answer.

In this episode, we walk through the WealthScore assessment start to finish. We cover each section, explain why the questions are asked, and show what your results look like once yo...

Pay off every debt as fast as you can, or max out your 401(k) and IRA? Most people get stuck between those two camps, and neither one starts with the question that matters most: what do you actually want?

In this episode, Patrick sits down with Paradigm Life's Wade Reed to talk about why so much financial advice lacks context. They cover how getting organized clears what Wade calls "the money fog," and why building flexibility into ...

Most of us think we know how we're doing financially...until someone actually asks. In this episode, Patrick pulls together everything the show has been building toward: the three jobs every dollar is actually doing, why one of them has to come before the other two, the two completely different games you're playing depending on whether you're building wealth or living off it, and the climb most people try to skip straight through -...

Episode 480: How Are You Actually Doing Financially?

Most of us gauge our financial health the same way we gauge how we're doing in life: by feel. We compare our income to a neighbor's, our savings to a sibling's, our life to whatever's on the news, and call it "fine." Patrick makes the case that this instinct-driven approach is exactly why so many people who look successful on paper still feel uneasy, and why others with far less f...

Patrick opens with his daughter Meghan; a returning guest from a decade ago, now a rising college junior with her first restaurant job, for what he calls the "Gen Z corner." The subject is debt. Meghan defines it as money borrowed and repaid with interest, and Patrick scales the roughly $19 trillion U.S. household debt figure with analogies: a million seconds is 11½ days, a trillion is 31,000 years; stacked $100 bills would circle ...

The housing market has never looked better on paper. With median home prices hitting an all-time record of $440,600, and over $1 million on Oahu, the instinct is to read that as wealth. But Paradigm Life Wealth Strategist Paul Seitz, a former nuclear submarine commander turned financial advisor, argues that asset value and financial security aren't the same thing. When homes go up in value but rents don't keep pace, when equity sit...

In this episode of the Perpetual Wealth Strategy Podcast, host Patrick Donahoe and wealth strategist Gary Pinkerton start with a force underneath every financial decision: how we're wired to react. Headlines, congressional testimony, and market narratives are all built to trigger the emotional, "saber-tooth-tiger" part of the brain, and once that fires, the analytical side goes quiet. Recognizing the reaction, they argue, is the fi...

The July 2nd jobs report added 57,000 jobs. Markets jumped to all-time highs. But beneath the headline: 507,000 jobs lost, 1.7 million household survey jobs gone year-to-date, and 14 of the last 17 monthly reports revised downward after publication. Patrick Donohoe breaks down what the numbers actually show - and why the gap between the headline and the full report is where most financial decisions go wrong. The same week, $165 bil...
