  • Ep. 41 - The Power of "How"
    This weekend, I got hit with a hefty bill that felt like a punch in the stomach.  Luckily, after looking at some of my options, I realized that the reoccurring bill really won't affect my financial goals too much.  Why?  While the average Joe asks, "How am I going to pay this bill?"  I asked the question "How can I make additional income to pay this bill?"  In short, the answer was "By running a better business."

  • Ep. 40 - "I am going to punch you in the face in 3...2...1..."
    USA Today reported that the number of elders, aged 75 and older, with debt and declaring bankruptcy is up almost 20%.  The statistics are scary: average debt - $36,757; percentage of families 75 years or older with debt - 49.8%; share of homeowners 65 years and older with mortgages - 41%.  You want the autumn or even winter of your life to be spent riding your money wave (sorry, I had to plug it.)  You want to be living off of the interest on your assets, not the $1,400 Social Security gives you and contemplating declaring bankruptcy.  In today's podcast, I give you three things you can do to make sure you are enjoying the last years of your life financially.

  • Ep. 39 - "Weed here, get your weed here!" with Chris Ostrowski
    Today, I sat down with Chris Ostrowski, CTO of Dutchie, an online cannabis distribution platform.  Chris's story reads almost like a mash-up of Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates - fascinated at a young age by computers, he learned how to program in his youth with the help of very supportive parents.  He later dropped out of Western Michigan University to start the first of three businesses with his business partner.  These businesses exposed him to various markets, consulting, product launch, marketing, website design, and financial instruments.  Now, he is the CTO of Dutchie, based out of Bend, Oregon.  Chris describedDutchie as the "Amazon of cannabis."  His insight into business, markets, and technology reads like an MBA course.  What I found most interesting is the side lessons he learned along the way that has helped become so successful.

  • Ep. 38 - Talking Money with Matt Liston
    About a month ago, I sat down with Matt Liston of Gleba & Associates.  (I have been busy with travelling for weddings and my own honeymoon.)  He is an engineer by training, turned financial planner who is big on helping people achieve their financial and career goals.  In addition to working with clients, he started a networking club for local business owners to help each other.  In today's podcast, Matt talks about behavior, money, and investing.

  • Ep. 37 - How Laziness and Curiosity Can Be Powerful Assets - Rich Lindberg
    His freshman year of college, Rich Lindberg got a job being a runner at the New York Stock Exchange.  His job was to do anything and everything traders told him to do, including runnning buy and sell orders back and forth on the chaotic trading floor.  Enchanted by the chaos, Rich knew he wanted to have a career in the stock market.  He spents a few years as a trader on the floor, until the meltdown of 2008 happened.  After, he returned to Detroit, where he worked next to the CEO and CFO of America's largest mortgage company until he left to become the CFO or a solar company startup.  After turning that company around, he left and is now a data analyst, studying behavioral patterns...for all American households.  In today's episode, Rich talks about his time on Wall Street, the influences his mathematically-inclined parents had on him, and how he is the laziest person you will meet, despite working 80+ hours per week.  He talks specifically about how laziness is actually an asset when it comes to efficiency and how curiosity has opened career doors for him.  Lastly, Rich is a self-proclaimed 90s trivia champion, which I test him on in a terribly unprepared segment of the show.
