In this episode of the Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, Tim Fergestad sits down with Tara Mettler, the founder of Position Yourself Wealth Strategies, to explore how individuals can take control of their finances and build what she calls a “personal economy.” Tara opens up about her journey from financial frustration to empowerment, and how she became a financial architect helping others escape scarcity thinking.

Tara shares why the traditional advice around retirement accounts never sat right with her, and how discovering the world of alternative wealth strategies changed everything. From the pitfalls of blindly following financial advisors to the power of education and personal control, Tara delivers powerful insight into what it really takes to build lasting wealth.

She also explains how private lending works, why it can be a more stable investment than stocks, and how regular people can start using the same wealth-building strategies the ultra-wealthy do.

You’ll Learn:

  • Why abundance, not restriction, should be the focus of personal finance

  • How to build your “personal economy”

  • The surprising truth about 401(k)s and mainstream retirement advice

  • The difference between financial education and financial advising

  • What alternative assets like private lending are, and how they work
