The Perpetual Wealth Podcast

The Perpetual Wealth Podcast

Most financial stress isn't a bad investment, budget, job, or retirement plan. It's a fractured system you never chose. It was embedded for you. If you carry the financial weight for the people you love, follow the conventional playbook, and still can't see the full picture of where you stand, or how it will all work out, this show was made for the way you think. Patrick Donohoe, has spent two decades inside these questions with thousands of households and with his team built the Perpetual Wealth Strategy from the patterns and principles that didn't just hold up, but helped people thrive. Each episode takes one dynamic that directly impacts you and your finances, from investing, the economy, taxes, family, health, or legacy, and breaks it down to the practical opportunities that are clouded by the tension. No hot takes, no product pitches, just a framework that treats money as one system instead of a list of separate problems. New episodes every week, so follow the show and start with the tension you recognize.

Most people think they’re investing. But how much control do you actually have over where your money goes, how fast it grows, and how easily you can get out without taking a loss? Most of us have been taught to measure financial progress with one number, the rate of return on our portfolio. Life doesn’t move in a straight line, though. Kids, careers, taxes, inflation and the economy all bend the path, and a plan that on...

How are you actually doing financially? Not “how much do you make” or “what’s in your 401(k),” but how well your whole financial picture is working for you. That’s the question the WealthScore was built to help answer.

In this episode, we walk through the WealthScore assessment start to finish. We cover each section, explain why the questions are asked, and show what your results look like once yo...

Pay off every debt as fast as you can, or max out your 401(k) and IRA? Most people get stuck between those two camps, and neither one starts with the question that matters most: what do you actually want?

In this episode, Patrick sits down with Paradigm Life's Wade Reed to talk about why so much financial advice lacks context. They cover how getting organized clears what Wade calls "the money fog," and why building flexibility into ...

Most of us think we know how we're doing financially...until someone actually asks. In this episode, Patrick pulls together everything the show has been building toward: the three jobs every dollar is actually doing, why one of them has to come before the other two, the two completely different games you're playing depending on whether you're building wealth or living off it, and the climb most people try to skip straight through -...

Episode 480: How Are You Actually Doing Financially?

Most of us gauge our financial health the same way we gauge how we're doing in life: by feel. We compare our income to a neighbor's, our savings to a sibling's, our life to whatever's on the news, and call it "fine." Patrick makes the case that this instinct-driven approach is exactly why so many people who look successful on paper still feel uneasy, and why others with far less f...

Patrick opens with his daughter Meghan; a returning guest from a decade ago, now a rising college junior with her first restaurant job, for what he calls the "Gen Z corner." The subject is debt. Meghan defines it as money borrowed and repaid with interest, and Patrick scales the roughly $19 trillion U.S. household debt figure with analogies: a million seconds is 11½ days, a trillion is 31,000 years; stacked $100 bills would circle ...

The housing market has never looked better on paper. With median home prices hitting an all-time record of $440,600, and over $1 million on Oahu, the instinct is to read that as wealth. But Paradigm Life Wealth Strategist Paul Seitz, a former nuclear submarine commander turned financial advisor, argues that asset value and financial security aren't the same thing. When homes go up in value but rents don't keep pace, when equity sit...

In this episode of the Perpetual Wealth Strategy Podcast, host Patrick Donahoe and wealth strategist Gary Pinkerton start with a force underneath every financial decision: how we're wired to react. Headlines, congressional testimony, and market narratives are all built to trigger the emotional, "saber-tooth-tiger" part of the brain, and once that fires, the analytical side goes quiet. Recognizing the reaction, they argue, is the fi...

The July 2nd jobs report added 57,000 jobs. Markets jumped to all-time highs. But beneath the headline: 507,000 jobs lost, 1.7 million household survey jobs gone year-to-date, and 14 of the last 17 monthly reports revised downward after publication. Patrick Donohoe breaks down what the numbers actually show - and why the gap between the headline and the full report is where most financial decisions go wrong. The same week, $165 bil...

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com. To unlock ad-free listening, exclusive content, and connect with your fellow Disgos, go to www.disgracelandpod.com to become an All Access member. Rocka Rolla.
