It’s Christmas time! So we cut loose in this episode and talk about our favorite gifts/traditions, how to overcome the pressures of overspending on Christmas gifts, and our strategy on balancing giving gifts for kids and teaching them about money. From our family to yours, we want to wish you a safe and very Merry Christmas!
We’re back with a heavy hitter, one that if we don’t get under control can decimate our plans to build wealth – dealing with YOLO (You Only Live Once) and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). In this episode we talk about:
While 2020 has certainly proven to be an unprecedented year of uncertainty, the truth is that every year, every day is filled with uncertainty. As we always say, life is what’s happening while you're making plans and setting goals – but how do you actually make decisions and have confidence and excitement for the future when anything can happen at any time? So, in this episode we take about how to cope with uncertainty, so that...
Can we build wealth alone or do we really need professional help? We talk professional help in this episode - do we really need it, if so, who do we need on our team, and things to look out for when adding people to your team.
Whew! With less than 90 days left of the year, it’s time to call 2020 a wrap, right? Hold on there! Don’t phone in 2020 just yet. If you started 2020 planning on doing epic stuff but had to change course, know there is still time to finish strong. So, in this episode, we talk about doing a ‘physical’ on the 5 areas of your life that impact your wealth and well-being – finances, career, relationships, physical & emotional health...
All of us come into relationships with some financial baggage – debt, low credit scores, negative money beliefs/stories - but the important thing is that we lay it all out to our partners so we can move forward towards building wealth. In this episode, we talk about bringing up the topic of finances whether you are just dating, or been married for years. We also touch on handling expenses and debts as a couple, and having money dat...
Self-care. It’s a buzz word you hear a lot, along with ‘treat yo self’. And it can be easily overlooked as being synonymous with facials, pedicures and lavish luxury spa days. But self-care is so much more than a one day of pampering with temporary results.
In episode 6, we talk about how self-care can take different forms. As financial self-care for example – how self-care (or lack thereof) can impact our finances, and why it’s ...
We can’t expect to acquire wealth if we have no idea of what we’re actually working towards. So in this episode we discuss some of the common ways to define wealth, why thinking about wealth only in terms of money doesn’t work well, and why even when we’re talking about money, it’s never just about the money.
Key takeaways:
In this episode we talk about why we do what we do when it comes to our money, bridging the gap when your partner’s way of handling money is opposite from yours, and how a personality test can change the way you handle your money.
Key Takeaways:
The American Dream is a trap! There’s nothing wrong with wanting a house, car etc – if that’s what you really value. In this episode we share how chasing a life defined by others instead of yourself can have you feeling like a prisoner.
We’ll share the truth that you shouldn’t expect folks around you to be excited for you when you decide to deviate from that expectation.
And the frustrations that can come from you and your partne...
They say money is the leading cause of relationships breaking up and it was true for us. In this episode we share how finances impacted our relationship, how we found out our money styles and money stories caused intense friction in our marriage and being distracted with ‘adulting’ and getting the American Dream made us realize we had to do something different.
Wealth is a multifaceted topic and differs with who you talk to. So, in this episode we share who we are, how one wide-eyed country boy met a shy workaholic girl and together started on this journey to build wealth from scratch.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
