Welcome to a very special episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show. Today, I’m taking you behind the spreadsheets and into the life lessons I wish I’d known earlier—a candid conversation about what truly matters most on this journey to financial freedom and living fully.
I get personal in this episode. From surviving cancer—twice—to rebuilding my business after devastating loss, and raising my son as a single, full-time dad, life has thrown me both blessings and curveballs. Each of these moments taught me things about money, meaning, and legacy that I simply couldn’t have learned from a textbook or a balance sheet.
If you’re ready for a refreshingly honest look at wealth—not just what’s in your bank account, but what fills your life with purpose and richness—you’re in the right place. Money is never just the goal; it’s the paintbrush we use to create the masterpiece of our life. So let’s dig in together.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:
- Why money isn’t everything, but it touches everything—and the real magic happens when it fuels your values, joy, and meaning
- How you can rebuild from nothing, even after major setbacks
- Why health is the real wealth, and how my cancer diagnosis completely reframed my priorities
- The truth about relationships being the richest currency we have—how presence matters far more than profits
- The power of living life fully expressed, ditching the masks, and stepping into who you truly are
- Why legacy isn’t about the stuff you leave behind, but about the love, values, and moments you create every day
