Welcome back, Conscious Investor! In this episode, I sit down with Chris Miles, host of the Money Ripples Podcast, to uncover the biggest myths about traditional financial advice—and why breaking free from those paradigms is key to achieving true financial freedom. From understanding how banks accelerate their wealth to actionable ways you can create cash flow instead of just saving, this conversation is packed with life-changing insights. Chris shares the same strategies that allowed him to retire TWICE before the age of 40, despite overcoming a $1M debt hole.
If you’ve ever felt like the financial system was stacked against you, you’re not alone. Together, Chris and I break down how to "get lean, get liquid, and get out" of the traps most of us are conditioned to fall into. You'll learn practical steps to take control of your money, break free from the 99% failure rate of traditional methods, and create ripples of impact in your own life and community. It’s time to get in the driver's seat and make your money work for you!

Hey Conscious Investor! In this episode, I'm diving deep into how we often underrate ourselves and why seeing yourself as a "10" in life isn’t just about confidence, but about true humility. Together, we'll explore why it's easy to discount our unique gifts and what we can do to reframe that perspective. True humility isn’t about self-deprecation; it’s about owning the talents and purpose we’ve been given and using them fully. I’ll share personal stories, including my own struggle to see myself as a "10" and how I overcame it, plus practical ways you can apply this mindset shift in your daily life.
This episode is a call for you to recognize your unique gifts and step into the fullness of who you were created to be. We'll discuss how constantly striving for perfection can leave you drained, how ego can masquerade as humility, and the power of setting attainable goals that build real momentum. Get ready to see yourself for who you truly are—an incredible, one-of-a-kind Conscious Investor!

Hey Conscious Investor! In this powerful episode, I sit down with my friend Shawn Gwaltney, who shares his journey from being a high school dropout to achieving significant financial success. We explore how labels and societal expectations can shape our lives, but more importantly, how we can break free and redefine ourselves. Shawn's path was anything but easy, but through grit, determination, and a refusal to be limited by a single narrative, he has become a successful business owner, a loving husband, and a deeply intentional father. This conversation dives into the power of shifting identity, embracing the discomfort of growth, and finding fulfillment beyond the pursuit of wealth.
Together, we explore actionable insights for overcoming fear, recognizing what’s truly important in life, and setting healthy boundaries between work and personal life. Shawn offers wisdom on maintaining strong relationships with his wife and daughters despite a busy schedule and shares how to find the "enough" point in your pursuit of success. Whether you’re striving to build financial freedom, improve your family life, or simply find a balance between ambition and personal joy, this episode will leave you inspired and ready to take action.

Hey Conscious Investor, it’s Monday, and I am diving deep into a topic that resonates with every aspect of personal and professional growth: patience and trusting the process. We often find ourselves wanting to speed through difficult seasons, rushing to reach success or clarity. But what if slowing down and embracing time is actually our greatest strength? Today, I'm taking you on a journey using a powerful analogy of creating rock candy to illustrate how beautiful results are born only when we respect the timeline needed for growth. Trust me—you’ll walk away with a renewed perspective on the gift of time.
Throughout this episode, we’ll explore how recognizing our unique, God-given ingredients allows us to create something meaningful with our lives. I’ll share insights on how to reframe challenges, why there’s no ‘fast forward’ button in life, and how leaning into the process can transform what feels like chaos into breathtaking outcomes. You’ll also get practical steps to reflect on your own journey and find patience with yourself. I’d love for you to join me at the upcoming Conscious Investor Growth Summit for even deeper growth conversations!

Hey, Conscious Investor! In today’s solo episode, I’m taking a step back to reflect on a question we might not ask ourselves enough: What does it truly mean to be an American? As we approach election day, I feel compelled to speak about the deep divide in our nation and the role we each play in uniting it. This conversation isn’t about political sides; it’s about the qualities that can lift us up and bring us closer together as a country, no matter the election results.
I'll be sharing my thoughts on embodying humility, empathy, and acceptance and how we can all choose to be a light in the lives of others—especially during divisive times. These aren’t just abstract ideals; they're real actions we can take every day to show up as the best versions of ourselves. Conscious Investor, let's reflect on what being American means to each of us and challenge ourselves to rise above fear and respond with resilience and compassion.

In this episode, I’m thrilled to welcome back my friend, Mark England, who brings a powerful perspective on transforming mindset through language and self-affirmation. We dive deep into the significance of rewriting the stories we tell ourselves and the profound impact this can have on our lives. Mark shares insights into why it’s so difficult for many of us to accept compliments, celebrate our own wins, and feel "good enough." He provides practical tools for shifting from a victim mindset to a place of self-confidence, including specific writing exercises that help us document and internalize our accomplishments. Together, we explore how to reframe negative inner dialogue into empowering beliefs that fuel our growth and fulfillment.
Conscious Investor, if you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt or the feeling that you’re “not enough,” this episode is for you. Mark’s wisdom around affirmations, language, and the importance of acknowledging our victories is transformative. He explains the “four-step process” that helps you take ownership of your wins, redefine your personal narrative, and approach life with a mindset that works for you, not against you. Join us as we explore how to unlock personal empowerment, enjoy the fruits of your labor, and truly show up as the best version of yourself.

In this episode, I delve into an essential topic that weighs heavily on my heart: the immense pressures facing today’s youth and how we, as adults, can better support them. Conscious Investor, it’s easy to see that many kids today are navigating a world filled with expectations, from excelling in academics and extracurriculars to developing every kind of "intelligence." I share my insights on how activity overload and performance-based parenting can impact young people, often creating unnecessary stress. Rather than scripting every part of their lives, we can foster an environment that lets them explore their unique paths, discovering who they are with our guidance rather than under our control.
I also discuss the critical role of acceptance and authenticity in parenting and mentorship. Our kids are watching us, absorbing how we handle disagreements, navigate social pressures, and live out our values. It’s up to us to model healthy relationships, resilience, and self-regulation—skills that will anchor them as they grow. Together, we can lighten the weight on their shoulders by being trusted guides and advocates, encouraging them to lead from the inside out. Conscious Investor, I encourage you to reflect on this journey with me, and let’s support the youth around us by providing the freedom and foundation they need to thrive.

In this episode of The Conscious Investor, I sit down with Troy Eckard, the CEO of Eckard Enterprises, who brings over 40 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. Troy's background is impressive—starting his career in the 1980s, he’s been a pivotal figure in oil and gas exploration, pipelines, and mineral rights. Now leading a family-run business, Troy has built a dynamic portfolio, working with over 2,200 high-net-worth investors. His deep understanding of the industry's evolution—from the challenges of vertical wells to the high-tech advancements of horizontal drilling—offers conscious investors like you a unique perspective on how oil and gas fits into a modern, diversified investment strategy.
Throughout our conversation, Troy challenges common misconceptions about oil and gas, especially in today’s push for green energy. He breaks down how oil isn't just about transportation but is embedded in the very fabric of our daily lives—from the clothes we wear to the products we use. Troy also shares why, even with global efforts toward sustainability, oil demand is still rising and why savvy investors should consider it a valuable addition to their portfolio. We dive into the importance of vetting investments to avoid Ponzi schemes and how understanding industries like oil can give you a competitive edge in a rapidly changing economy.

In this episode, I open up about some personal challenges that have caused me to lose sleep recently, including a financial fraud incident that left me feeling anxious and stressed. I share how I’ve been able to process the situation, using tools like faith, Psalm 23, and practical strategies to navigate the worry cycle. Conscious Investor, I know you’ve likely experienced sleepless nights too, and in this episode, we dive into why that happens and how we can reclaim our peace. I talk about the importance of closing cognitive loops during the day to prevent our minds from racing at night, as well as conducting activity and responsibility audits to manage our workload more effectively.
Additionally, I offer actionable tips on stress management, sleep hygiene, and creating healthy routines to support better rest. Whether it’s acknowledging what’s out of our control or making small changes in our environment, there are ways to improve how we sleep and handle the demands of daily life. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of what might be keeping you up at night and how you can make intentional changes to sleep more soundly and feel more in control of your day.
