In this episode, Derrick Kinney, a certified financial educator and bestselling author of Good Money Revolution, shares his remarkable journey from a thriving financial advisory career to a new mission centered on teaching, mentoring, and empowering others.

Derrick reflects on the deeply personal decision to step away from advising clients at the height of his career, comparing it to an athlete retiring while still at their peak. He speaks candidly about the emotional weight of informing clients, many of whom had become close friends, and the significance of those personal connections in his professional life.

He discusses the often-overlooked emotional challenges faced by entrepreneurs, including feelings of being misunderstood for the risks they take. Drawing from both his own experiences and conversations with his entrepreneurial children, Derrick reassures listeners that such struggles are natural stepping stones toward lasting success.

One of the most impactful ideas he shares is his “conversational sales framework,” a practical method designed to help financial professionals build meaningful trust and effectively engage with high-net-worth clients. He underscores the role of genuine community involvement in establishing credibility and fostering long-term relationships.

Derrick also highlights the success of his book, "Good Money Revolution," which challenges misconceptions about wealth and champions the idea that true financial success comes from aligning one's money with purpose. By linking profits to causes that matter, Derrick believes that professionals and entrepreneurs alike can create a greater impact while achieving personal fulfillment.

This episode is a candid, inspiring look at what it means to transition with clarity, embrace new chapters, and use money as a tool for good.

In this episode, we explore disruption in the real estate sector with Nick Aufenkamp, a real estate agent pioneering a new approach to home buying. Nick is on a mission to educate and empower homebuyers to purchase properties without relying on traditional buyer’s agents. He shared candid insights into the pushback from industry professionals, as well as the growing wave of consumer interest in self-representation, especially in the wake of newregulations on agent compensation and the recent NARsettlement (soon to be featured in The New York Times).

Nick detailed his innovative educational model, which includes a YouTube channel, TikTok presence, and an interactive community platform called School, where buyers can access resources and join live calls. While his offerings are currently free, Nick acknowledged the importance of building a sustainable monetization path, with coaching, consulting, and community-driven models under consideration.

The conversation also touched on broader changes in real estate, with Sam Sells contributing perspective from the commercial side, emphasizing the cultural contrasts and opportunities for unbiased buyer consulting. Together, they discussed new monetization strategies, from pre-selling services to forming mastermind groups, while underlining the shared goal of improving the homebuying experience and financial outcomes for consumers.

Nick’s passion for transparency, trust, and education stood out throughout the episode. His vision is clear: to create a platform that not only adapts to industry changes but also helps homebuyers take control of one of life’s biggest financial decisions.

In this episode, Mark Willis shares how business owners can reclaim control over their cash flow and why conventional debt advice often misses the mark. Drawing on his own journey out of student loan debt, Mark critiques one‑size‑fits‑all repayment plans (including the popular “just pay it off” approach) and explains the infinite banking framework and his Debt Snowbank Method. This strategy structured whole life insurance to manage debt while building assets.

He and host Sam Sells also delve into the cost of fees on long-term savings, the gap between average returns and actual investor returns, and why genuine financial planning prioritizes client relationships over product sales.

Along the way, Sam outlines his affordable‑housing work and the show’s mission to redefine capitalism as a force for good, prompting a lively discussion of how smarter financing can help owners build resilience and reduce poverty. The episode closes with Mark’s playbook for business owners and an invitation to collaborate on future projects.
