What is the difference between a $30,000 question and a $3 question? There’s a massive distinction—and not knowing the difference could be costing you valuable time and money.  

That’s exactly what my guest Ramit Sethi says. Ramit is the bestselling author of I Will Teach You to Be Rich, and today he’s revealing a costly mindset that is ruining most Americans’ financial future. Then he shares why everyone knows how to save, but nobody teaches you how to spend your money on the things that matter. 

Plus, Ramit reveals how to win the game of money in your marriage and what his favorite investments are right now. I think his answer might surprise you, because you can invest in them too.

Will Guidara was just 26 when he took over Eleven Madison Park, a two-star struggling restaurant in the heart of New York City. Eleven years later, Eleven Madison Park was named the best restaurant in the world. 

So how did Will pull off the transformation of the century? He calls it “Unreasonable Hospitality.” Today, Will is revealing how he led his team to surprise and delight guests in every way imaginable — whether that meant surprising a family who had never seen snow with a sledding trip after dinner to creating a secret sign language to serve guests more efficiently. 

Plus, he shares how any business can be a hospitality business — and how the most genuine acts of hospitality don’t have to be expensive or extravagant. Oh, and make sure you listen for Will’s story about how a simple hotdog made his guests freak out—in the best way possible.

You want to connect with your teen. You want them to listen to you. Especially to share the advice about money and business that you wish you would have known as a teenager. The problem is, your teen seems to be a lot more interested in the influencers on TikTok than your advice. So how do you connect with them so you can help them become wiser and smarter? 

My guest today is Will Elliott. Will coaches tweens, teens and parents all around the world to transform their confidence and create stronger, more connected relationships. He’s coached hundreds of families and grown a social following to over 700K. 

In this episode, Will shares some of his most effective strategies for connecting with your teen. One of his tips is practicing the “parenting pause” — which I can’t wait for you to hear more about. And Will shares 2 things his own dad did that made him feel seen and create a bond of trust. Then Will shares why generosity is something you must be teaching your teen, because society won’t.

I know that niching down and focusing on one target market can feel extremely nerve wracking. But what if it was the one thing keeping you from reaching clients and customers all around the world? 

My guest today, DJ Eric Rhodes, knows the power of niching down, protecting his creative time, and making big bets on himself. It all started with what most people called a foolish move when he ordered all the DJ gear he needed with his student loan money while in college. And while it might have seemed foolish then, it’s certainly paid off. Today, Eric has generated over a million followers on TikTok—and turned them into raving fans for his business. 

In our conversation, Eric reveals how he finds time to nurture and protect his creative side—and why you must do the same thing if you want to avoid burnout and keep your business growing. Plus, Eric shares a simple, yet overlooked strategy he uses at every wedding he DJs (that often gets him mistaken as a family member!) and how you can apply that same principle to help grow your business. And make sure to stick around till the end—because Eric created a special music mash-up just for our listeners.
