Send me a text

In this episode of Money Talk, I sit down with Ron Turba to dive into how financial success has evolved over the generations—and why the old playbook just doesn't work for us anymore. We talk about how our parents’ path to the “American Dream” no longer applies in a world of rising costs, stagnant wages, and radically different opportunities. Ron brings a wealth of knowledge from the financial world and helps us reframe what success looks like today. From redefining goals to embracing new income streams, this conversation is all about moving forward with intention. If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to match your parents’ version of success, this episode is for you.
