This week’s episode is for anyone who’s ever hit rock bottom, felt lost in their finances, or wondered how to truly level up in life. We rolled out the red carpet for Chris Felton — financial services entrepreneur, speaker, and author of "Think and Grow You." (And yes, the name is a nod to the timeless classic, "Think and Grow Rich!")

Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll get in this jam-packed episode:

🔥 From Rock Bottom to Seven Figures Chris shares his deeply personal story of bouncing back from a costly divorce, a crushing mountain of debt, and the raw realization that he was the common thread in his struggles. If you’ve ever wondered how to really take responsibility for your life, his story is a masterclass in embracing change and owning your outcomes.

📈 The Real Reason for “Stuck” Finances Despite being a CPA and financial advisor, Chris reveals how optimism and delusion can look eerily similar if you’re not facing your actual results. The breakthrough? Committing to facing the numbers, ditching "hopium," and focusing on what you truly expect — not just what you hope for.

💡 Practical Steps to Get Out of Your Own Way Chris and his wife Marlo didn’t just talk about change — they lived it. Weekly financial check-ins, hard conversations, and a ferocious focus on the "why" behind their goals moved them from $250K of debt to seven-figure entrepreneurs. Key takeaway: You don’t get what you hope for. You get what you expect. And you have to be committed, not just interested, in the change you want.

💪 Why Discomfort is Your Superpower We dig into the uncomfortable truth: Most people are addicted to comfort, but growth lives on the other side of discomfort. Are you rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, or are you ready to steer the ship somewhere new? Chris tells all.

🔑 BONUS: Financial Alignment for Couples One of our favorite moments? Chris’ insight into how he and Marlo became a financial dream team. Want to fix your finances as a couple? Set shared, emotionally charged goals — and uncover your real why.

🎸 Plus, a little podcast banter on music, jam sessions, and the universal laws that outlast even AI. (You’ll have to tune in for those fun bits!)
