Mid-Year Financial Reset: Key Takeaways from the First Half of 2025 (SB1708)


Listen Later

Still on track to crush your 2025 goals? Or has the year felt more like a Super Mario Kart banana peel moment?

In this special mid-year review episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy and OG take a pause from the summer sprint to look back at the most impactful lessons, conversations, and themes from the first half of 2025. Whether you’re rethinking your budget, fine-tuning your risk tolerance, or just trying to remember where you wrote down your resolutions, this is your nudge to hit the financial reset button—with style.

From Alex Hormozi’s take on embracing risk and skill-building to JL Collins' wisdom on why buying happiness with money is a flawed formula, this episode pulls powerful insights from our brightest guests so far. We revisit career advice from media powerhouse Bonnie Hammer, dig into intentional spending habits, and reflect on the subtle connection between mindset and long-term success.

Oh—and don’t miss a moment of Joe and OG’s always-wise, occasionally-weird banter as they break down topics like:

  • Why goal setting isn’t just for January—and how to mid-course correct before December sneaks up on you.
  • Risk management in real life (not the textbook version).
  • Why mindful consumption isn’t about cutting back, but tuning in.
  • What makes retirement joyful beyond the spreadsheets.
  • How your community can be the most underrated part of your portfolio.
  • If you’ve felt a little off-course—or just want a chance to recalibrate without the guilt trip—this episode delivers practical steps and encouraging reminders to help you make the second half of 2025 your strongest yet.

    Got goals? Let’s reset ‘em. And if not, we’ve got a few ideas for those, too.
