The Stacking Benjamins Show

Is Any Expense Really "Worth It"? (with Leisa Peterson) SB1682


Listen Later

Ever feel like money is a never-ending game of not enough? Today, we're rewiring that thinking. Our special guest, Leisa Peterson—author of The Mindful Millionaire and now The Money Catalyst—joins us to talk about abundance, scarcity, and how to stop living life like you're budgeting for armageddon. (Hint: It's okay to order the nice wine now.)

Joe Saul-Sehy and OG also shine a light on the resurgence of alternative investments. Is it innovation... or just Wall Street’s way of sneaking in high fees through the back door? Plus, we roll into Doug’s trivia, a TikTok Minute that flips the script on a certain “draft pick,” and, of course, a few stories that prove—yet again—that golf is no game for the frugal.

  • “Am I YOLO-ing or just broke?” Why framing matters more than frugality

  • From scarcity to satisfaction: How one moment in Paris changed Leisa’s relationship with money

  • You call that a tip? The surprisingly deep conversation behind street musicians, champagne, and generosity

  • Alternative investments are back (again?) Why your advisor might pitch you on ditching the market... and why you should think twice

  • Personal growth through fiction: Leisa's surprising journey from nonfiction burnout to a book that might just fix your wallet and your heart

  • When the camel arrives with a skeleton on its back: Doug’s trivia gets weird (and somehow financial)

  • TikTok Minute: What happens when a 50-year-old thinks he just got drafted into the NFL

  • OG’s rule of thumb: Volatility isn’t the villain—it’s the entrance fee

    🪄 PS: Boston-area Stackers! Joe’s coming your way May 20th. Get all the meetup deets at stackingbenjamins.com/meetup

    🎧 Listen now and start living (and spending) like abundance is already yours.
