Muunifi's Taylor Perkins on investing wisely and building a healthy relationship with money Dec 15, 2022

Show notes

Founder of Muunifi, Taylor Perkins shares the purpose behind Muunifi and how it provides a place for people to connect to successful entrepreneurs, learn from them, and support others in the community along the way.
Normally as a teenager, kids are into cars, rock’n’roll, etc. Taylor may have been into those, but he also had an incredible obsession with the financial market. The idea of investing money and seeing it compound into something greater made the wheels in his head spin. After finding mentors and getting a bit of capital through sales, Taylor learned as much as he could about the financial systems of the world and started investing. He became a guru in the space, helping others reach financial freedom along the way. He then dove into the cryptic world of crypto, and with smart investing, retired before the age of 30! Seeing the struggles that financial strain had on others, he decided to start Muunifi, a social platform that helps fellow investors connect with others and learn strategies that will help them achieve their financial goals. Taylor is just a super rad dude. Full of passion and super stoked to help others succeed. It was so great chatting with him and we’re excited to see his platform launch and take the world by storm. Perhaps even a financial storm. Hopefully not.

Anxiety and Becoming a Musician - Ft. Chris Osmond Jul 25, 2022

Show notes

Ahh the bond Chris and I have shared have extended past the beginning of time. Growing up with his family, I remembered Chris as a tiny guy. When I was 18, he was 8. I remembered spinning him around while he was in his batman pajamas. We have often thought about recreating those memories. But through the years, as Chris has found his voice as a performer, we found our paths were more aligned than ever. Being in LA around the same time, we would hang and share all kinds of war stories from the entertainment industry.
This podcast was extra special as we got to relive old memories, talk about feelings of anxiety, and how he decided to become a musician himself. And man, his music is so so rad! Having heard him perform live very recently, I was totally blown away! Check out his new single Up To You, releasing 7/25 on all major platforms and enjoy this hilarious and fun podcast!
Here's a couple links to follow Chris's music journey:

Kim Whatcott | Helping People Find Their Voices Jun 30, 2022

Show notes

Kim Whatcott, a BYU graduate, is a speech pathologist who is, quite literally, helping people find their voice. She has worked with medical patients who have sustained brain injuries, among other situations, to learn to use their voices again or find another form of communication.
Going into the profession, she felt inadequate in many ways. People always expect the professionals to have all the answers. She felt like people always expect professionals to have all the answers. Starting out in any field you're going to feel inadequate, guaranteed. It's important to remember that no one is a master at anything when they first start.
One of the many things that stands out to us about Kim is that she is full of LIFE! Her advice? Do things that scare you every day.
This was a very pleasant conversation with Kim Whatcott, we hope you enjoy it as we did!
