May 07, 2025 87: Why Waiting to Invest Is Keeping You Broke
Send us Fan Mail
Think you need to be debt-free or have a fat savings account before you invest? That myth is keeping you broke. In this episode, Jess and Brandon break down why starting now—even with just $5—is more powerful than waiting for the "perfect" moment.
They call out outdated advice that tells you to wait, and show you how to grow wealth while paying off debt. You’ll learn why index funds are your low-risk, high-impact secret weapon, and exactly how to start investing—even if you're overwhelmed or on a tight budget.
This isn’t about hype. It’s about time, math, and using both to your advantage.
Hit play and take the first step toward financial freedom—imperfect action beats perfect planning every time.

April 23, 2025 85: Building a Seven-Figure Hands Off Business with Trina Julian
Send us Fan Mail
What do free lunch money, a horse, and a seven-figure landscaping company have in common? Trina Julian.
In this episode, Jess and Brandon dive into how Trina built Country Girl Gardens from a $10K side hustle into a seven-figure business—all with one goal in mind: freedom. From day one, she designed her company to run without her, documenting every process, system, and role. So when a horseback riding accident sidelined her, the business kept thriving—thanks to her standard operating procedures.
Her exit wasn’t luck. It was strategy.
Now, Trina’s on a mission to help service-based entrepreneurs build businesses that run and sell without them. If you’re stuck in a business that feels more like a job, this episode is your wake-up call.
Listen in for real talk on building wealth, scaling smarter, and creating a business that doesn’t own you.
