Fox Talks Business Podcast

What type of relationship do you have with money? Healthy, unhealthy? Do you know why that is? I sat down with Bob Wheeler to talk about the money nerve, how to find it and steps you can take to fix and strengthen it. 

Bob Wheeler helps listeners conquer their money shame and avoid making poor financial decisions by teaching how emotions can dictate our choices. 

As a man of true integrity with infectious energy, Bob’s crusade for personal growth has cross-pollinated with his accounting practice to create a new approach to personal finances. His passion is to help others gain insights about how their emotions trigger financial decisions. Combining finances with behaviors, Bob explores his personal concept of creating a healthy relationship with money in his recent book, The Money Nerve.

While strengthening his accounting practice, Bob has simultaneously pursued his love of satire and ventured into the realm of standup comedy. From his thirty years of helping clients, Bob has distilled a concoction of warmth, humor, information, motivation and budgeting directives that he offers to anyone with financial concerns. He is also currently the CFO for The World Famous Comedy Store.

Bob's world travels have led him to high altitudes. He has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, ascended to the Mount Everest Base Camp, and hiked several smaller mountains in between. With charm and humor, his experiences on the road, in the office, or running a Greek marathon, feed his wit as a standup comic and financial motivator.

I think most can agree that when you think of a lawyer it is often when you are in trouble. What if you changed the way you think and instead of only using them when in dire straights you added them to your team. Someone that is always on your side, helping you to reach your goals and supporting you all along the way. Maybe then it wouldn't be a dreaded call but more of calling a friend for advice. This is one of the goals Scott has in his life. To have people look at law professionals differently and to help change the way in which practices run.   Visit our page to learn more: https://foxtalksbusiness.ca/blog

Have you ever read a book that you thought, there is no way this happens in real life!? When Marek sent me his book I really didn't know what to expect besides business. Well was I wrong! There is  lessons, taming egos, travel, women, parties, fast cars, friends, corruption and cultures. That STILL doesn't even scratch the surface of this book.  

After I was done the book I could not WAIT to talk with Marek and find out more about the book, Freddy, where Chinedu originated from and more.  Trust me once you read the book it will all make sense.  

Just when you think there cannot be more there is: 

He co-founded Sunroof.se – a 2-in-1 Solar Roofs producer, HotelOnline.co – a Travel Technology Company, and Jumia Travel – Africa’s Biggest Hotel Booking Portal listed on NYSE as part of Jumia Group. In 2014, he was chosen as one of the Ten Most Important People in Tech by IT News Africa Magazine. He is a Lead Mentor at Google’s Launchpad and World Bank’s XL Africa Program.

Marek is a bestselling author of “Chasing Black Unicorns”, a former snowboard instructor, and a bartender, but his real life goal is simply to leave this World in slightly better shape than what it was when he arrived.

How happy are you? What habits do you have? How many are not serving you? We are diving in to these questions and more with...

 

TEDx Speaker, #1 Bestselling author of The Six Habits and Life Mastery Coach, Laura DiBenedetto teaches how to create the life of our dreams without sacrificing what we love.  Laura is the founder and CEO of the award-winning marketing company, Vision Advertising, located in the greater Boston area. Laura created, built and ran the growth-oriented enterprise for 19 years with tremendous success, before retiring from active involvement in 2018 at age 37, passing the reins to her successor. Over the years, Laura personally sold several million dollars in ongoing contracts, was featured on Fox News and other Boston programming several times, was publicly recognized for business accomplishments, and was named a 40 Under Forty winner at only age 23.  Having started her first business at 19, Laura began to search for her next big project in 2012, finally finding it right on the cusp of retirement. While Laura’s career had been speckled with accomplishments and accolades, when she retired, she was simply burnt out and unhappy. After years of classes, workshops, books, and more, Laura was confused and wondering why the personal development world had let her down and sought to solve the problem. She went on a radical journey of self-discovery, research, and testing, determined to find energy and lasting, fulfilling happiness in all areas of life.  Laura found the answers to the question that plagued her (and so many of us)–six of them, in fact. She is devoted to sharing the universally applicable and deeply liberating truths she discovered, so that others may find their own path out of misery and into lasting, fulfilling happiness and limitless possibility. Laura moved away from Boston in 2019 to the island of Maui, Hawaii and lives in tropical bliss with her husband, cats and dog.
