For all of January, we will be going in depth on the guts of your financial plan. This week, we will be talking about insurance. Yaaaay. The insurance industry is very convoluted and not transparent. The way insurance is sold to people is often seen as predatory. Also, what a weird concept right? Pay someone […]

Have you been thinking about quitting your job lately? Have you been wondering if what you spend all day doing is really worth your time and fulfilling your purpose?

Most of the time, we think about what to do with money we already have – either spend less or save more. It’s money we can control, so we focus on this. Failure and success can be easily measured and contained. Thinking about increasing income means you have to leave the results of your efforts […]

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan made headlines recently when they announced they were going to move 99% of their wealth into an LLC over their lifetimes. Tons of news reports claimed they were doing it for the tax breaks, questioned their motives, and were generally suspicious of the move. In reality, Zuckerberg and Chan haven’t […]

Dyalekt and I are so excited to do this show! We are just at the beginning of our own financial planning process with our financial planner, Sophia Bera of GenY Planning, and, and luck and timing would have it, she is moving to Austin a few days before we are going to be driving through […]

First of all, this was a special Bondfire Radio show for Dramatic Dyalekt and me because we did a show on Black Friday last year and this means we’ve been around long enough to talk about it again smile emoticon Second of all, we wanted to talk about Black Friday again because I feel like […]

We have been out in CA this last October and November, teaching workshops up and down the coast that focus on financial literacy for kids and adults.

One of the realities of being a freelancer or entrepreneur is that you’re also going to be a salesperson. Most of us recoil when we hear this word, and conjure up visions of used car salesmen and slick and manipulative tactics. You’re afraid that you’ll be perceived as the sleazy salesperson. This show is all […]

We round out our October #entrepreneurmonth on with Alan Moore, founder of XY Planning Network. As an entrepreneur, having a good financial advice on your side can make or break your business and there are a lot of financial advisors and experts who may or may not be able to properly advise you on your […]

What’s it like to run a start up all by yourself? Or better yet, what’s it like to run a startup in an industry where you main product is only legal in a handful of states? We talk to Koushi King, founder of Stemless.co, a weed delivery service that’s hoping to make a dent in […]

To kick off our October Entrepreneur Month, we have Jane Barratt, founder and CEO of Goldbean, a website dedicated to helping beginners learn how to invest money confidently.

I don’t know why I let Elite Daily articles rile me up, but this one called, “If you Have Savings in your 20’s, You’re Doing Something Wrong,” really struck a nerve. Link bait or not, it started a firestorm of comments and even a response article from MarketWatch. After calming down and letting my Pam-Hulk […]
