In this episode, I break down one of the biggest traps investors fall into: hindsight investing. I shares my own story of passing on Facebook in 2014, why volatility isn’t a punishment, and how to build the emotional resilience to stay invested when fear hits.

If you’ve been listening and realizing you don’t yet have a clear system for your money, that’s exactly what my program Money Mastery was built to solve. It’s a step-by-step training that shows you how to invest with confidence, avoid the panic traps, and build wealth for the long term.

Aakash had tried it all (trading courses, crypto, even expensive programs that cost him $2,000) and walked away burned, confused, and skeptical. 

He was making good money in his IT career but it felt like it disappeared as fast as it came in.

Then he found Money Mastery.

In this interview, Aakash shares:

• How he went from scattered finances and constant stress to building a personalized money system.
• Why an emergency fund saved him when he lost his job.
• How he grew from just $500 invested to over $300,000 in long-term ETFs.
• Why he says Money Mastery was “a steal” compared to other programs

If you’ve ever felt like money slips through your fingers no matter how much you earn, this story is proof that clarity and systems beat hype every time.

Phillip is 41 years old (a public safety worker in Utah) and a father of eight. 

For most of his life, he thought his pension would be enough to carry him through retirement. But when he looked closer, he realized it wouldn’t buy him the kind of life he wanted.

That wake up call pushed him to start investing from scratch, while still carrying $10,000 in credit card debt.

In this episode, Phillip shares how he went from feeling lost and stressed to building an investing system that works:

• Why “playing it safe” with only a pension isn’t safe at all
• His early mistakes with forex, crypto, and random stock picks
• The mindset shift that helped him see money as a tool
• How he paid off debt and stacked nearly $10,000 in VOO within eight months
• Why market dips don’t scare him anymore

This conversation is proof that it’s never too late to start stacking assets. 

Phillip’s story shows what happens when you stop gambling, block out the noise, and commit to a system.

Listen now and let his journey remind you: the best day to start was yesterday. The second best is today.

In this episode, I sit down with Vangelis (an investor from Greece) to unpack his first year of investing.

We talk about:

• Why money is taboo and how the 1999 stock market crash still shapes how people see investing today.
• From grandparents teaching him delayed gratification to saving for years to buy his first PS3 and how those habits set the stage for his future.
• How Vangelis moved from saving → gambling in crypto → finally building a disciplined ETF-based portfolio.
• Why training in the gym and investing share the same formula: discipline, patience, and avoiding shortcuts.

His story proves that even if you grow up in a culture where money isn’t talked about, you can rewrite the script.

“Our 10-year arc is to become the number one global financial ecosystem.”
— Vlad Tenev, CEO of Robinhood

We sat down with Vlad for an in-depth conversation about where Robinhood is headed and how the company is evolving beyond its original roots.

In this episode, he shares what Robinhood could look like by 2035 and how AI, crypto, and policy shifts are shaping that future.

We also dive into the next chapter of crypto beyond memecoins and how AI is transforming not just Robinhood’s products, but the way their teams operate behind the scenes.

This conversation was recorded during one of Robinhood’s busiest product launch cycles to date. We’re grateful Vlad made the time to offer a glimpse into what they’re building and why it matters.

We hope you enjoy the episode and walk away with a deeper understanding of Robinhood’s long-term mission.

Most people chase distractions... I stacked assets.

I skipped the short-term wins and built a system instead.

It wasn’t flashy but it bought me something far better than short-term dopamine hits: options to live life however the hell I want.

Right after college, I landed what most people would call a “secure” job. 

Good pay, solid benefits… but within a month, I knew I couldn’t stay. 

I had to make a decision most people avoid for decades.
