  • Your focus is your responsibility (Tips on how to focus)

    There are people out there that want you to give up and quit trying.

    I'm not one of those people. Focus is one of the most valuable assets you have. It's your job to control it and I fully believe you can.

    In this episode, I offer a counterargument to the book Stolen Focus and give you tips on how to curtail your focus and get more done.

  • Stop asking $3 questions and ask yourself this instead

    In personal finances we spend a lot of time hating on the Starbucks, Netflix, and "excessive" spending.

    But who truly determines what's "excessive?"

    In this episode of the podcast we discuss Ramit Sethi's Money Dials and how we can apply them to our lives.

    From his 10 dials:

    1. Convenience
    2. Travel
    3. Health / fitness
    4. Experiences
    5. Freedom
    6. Relationships
    7. Generosity
    8. Luxury
    9. Social status
    10. Self-improvement


    We ask the question: What do you LOVE to spend money on?

  • Stop self-sabotaging your financial goals (Atomic Habits #1)

    If someone asks you want you do or who you are, how do you answer?

    The way you answer is a reflection of how you identify. Your identity is either reinforced or undermined by your daily habits.

    In Atomic Habits, James Clear talks about how habits shape your identity.

    It's important that our habit changes start with our identity. When adopting a new identity, you must:

    1. Decide the type of person you want to be.
    2. Prove it to yourself with small wins.


    Kurtis tells a personal story about an identity he adopted and how he self-sabotaged himself out of that identity. The episode ends with 2 questions for you to reflect on:

    In what ways have you adopted a new identity in your life?

    What are you holding onto that could stop you from keeping that identity?
