EP81: How to Interview Your Financial Advisor - with "Seth" Feb 15, 2018

Show notes

"Seth" - my very own financial advisor - comes on to say what most advisors won't.

Since most professionals in the financial industry are so highly regulated, "Seth" agreed to come on the show if we kept his identity a secret.

Now that he's anonymous, he is able to drop a ton of value including what you should be asking your advisor, how fees are structured, and some of the biggest mistakes he sees new clients make.

During our interview, I ask Seth:

• Explain how robo-advising works • When robo-advising is not a good fit • How to know whether or not your advisor has a plan or not • What questions you should be asking your next financial advisor • What should you be talking to your current advisor about

As a BONUS, this episode comes with a PDF Cheat Sheet I asked "Seth" create, which will come in very handy when you're getting ready to interview your next advisor.

By the end of the episode, you'll have a much better understanding of how financial advisors are paid, common fees you can expect, and what you should not be paying for at all.

EP80: The $10K V.A. (Virtual Assistant) - with Kayla Sloan Feb 01, 2018

Show notes

Kayla Sloan has been my virtual assistant since the very beginning of Money Peach. There is so much that goes into creating blog content, putting together a weekly podcast, helping students inside the Awesome Money Course, and making sure it all goes smoothly. Without Kayla, there's no possible way I could get all of this done and still work as a full-time firefighter.

Recently I have had a few people ask me how they could generate extra income every month to pay off debt faster, to cover their mortgage, to buy groceries, or to simply just have a little fun with money!

That's where Kayla comes in. You see, Kayla didn't go to college to become a virtual assistant and she doesn't have a background in information technology. Instead she simply helps people with whatever they need online...and now just a few years later she's making over $10,000 every single month by doing so!

During our interview, I ask Kayla:

• How she get started as a virtual assistant • How she first began reaching out to potential clients • What her rates were in the beginning versus now • How long it took her to quit her full-time day-job to work as a V.A. • What tools and resources she recommends to get started

EP079: From Freelance to Freedom with Vincent Pugliese Jan 25, 2018

Show notes

Vincent Pugliese rose to fame among the photography world when he became one of the best sports photographers in the world. During his career he has filmed Superbowls, World Series, Stanley Cup finals, multiple Presidents of the United States, and many of the defining moments in history we are all familiar with.

Vincent was one of the very best in his field, but there was only one problem: he was making $30k/year and there wasn't much room for him to make more in his field of work. In addition, he was facing $140k in debt with a new baby to take care of.

"Vincent, you have a skill, but you're not using it correctly."

These was the words of his father which would have a lasting impact on him and change his life forever.

Vincent didn't leave the world of photography but instead made a pivot of the way he would use his skills to generate income.

That pivot allowed him to go from making $30k in a year to literally $30k in a day which eventually led him to become fully debt-free...he even paid off the mortgage!

In this episode, Vincent and I discuss:

How he got started in photography
The moment his preparation met the opportunity
His ah-hah moment when he would make the pivot
Making the pivot from employee to freelancer
The importance of building relationships
The importance paying off debt had for his life and career

EP078: From Target to the College Investor with Robert Farrington Jan 18, 2018

EP076: Earning over $600k Counting Cards? - with Colin Jones Jan 04, 2018

Show notes

Colin Jones, founder of Blackjack Apprenticeship, on the show this week to share his crazy story of going from flat broke to generating a very high income by counting cards in Blackjack.

Yes, it sounds absolutely crazy and it was hard for me to digest when I first heard about his story. But, after meeting Colin in person and asking him everything I possibly could, I asked him to share his story.

Colin and I both agree that gambling is dumb. Sure, it's fun and can be a form of entertainment, but NEVER count on it as a way to provide income. This is where Colin comes in - he is adamant that he doesn't gamble. Instead, he is investing in the game of Blackjack and has an actual advantage over the house. This may also be the reason why he as been asked to leave countless casinos over the past decade for "winning too much".

I ask Colin a bunch of questions I am sure you're wondering too. Here are some of the main points we hit:

• Gambling vs Investing - I needed an explanation here • How long it takes to realistically count cards • Is it even legal (or just frowned upon) • Building his card counting team and generating $4 Million • His advice for anyone thinking about getting started • Success stories and huge losses along the way • The church group of card counters - "The Holy Rollers" • Free resources where you can learn to count cards too

EP075: Get Your Financial SH*T Together - with Priya Malani Dec 28, 2017

Show notes

Founder of Stash Wealth Priya Malani on the show to talk H.E.N.R.Y's - High Earners Not Rich Yet.

Priya spent the first part of her career helping very wealthy individuals manage their high net worth in retirement and she came to one conclusion - IT WAS SUPER BORING!

Priya made the pivot and decided she start her own firm called Stash Wealth in order to focus all of her efforts on the people she could help the most - people just like herself.

"We are not your Father's Financial Advisor"

The millennial generation isn't interested in cutting back life and living on rice and beans. They are extreme hustlers, they can generate income in a minute, and they want to save, invest, pay off debt, AND have ridiculous amounts of fun.

In the show we talked about:

• Defining who the H.E.N.R.Y.s are • Profit first • Best Online Savings Account • Hating on Budgets (can you believe this?) • Emergency Funds for the H.E.N.R.Y. • What are some of the biggest mistakes to avoid as a H.E.N.R.Y.

Fun Fact: Priya and I don't agree on everything, but that's okay - it makes for a fun conversation!

Fun Fact 2: We had to use the heck out of the BLEEP Button on this one :)

Kelly Snyder is the founder of the website and brand, Adore Your Wardrobe.

Kelly's mission is to give women the tools to overcome the problem of having a closet full of clothes, but nothing you want to wear. She isn't about the latest and greatest trends, but rather focuses on finding clothes that make women feel confident, regardless of age.

Now of course Kelly didn't come on the show to share her fashion trends with a 34-your man who wears gym clothes everyday!

I asked Kelly to come on the show to share how she started her business from an idea about fashion, to become a high-level earner inside this online business in the first two years.

• What she recommends everyone does first before they actually start • Why even the people who test her products still have to pay to play • How she creates challenges to generate buzz about her idea • Why her services are only offered a few times per year • How she has built a team to drive the overall mission vs just working for dollars • A special GIFT for the Money Peach listeners - HINT: Think big discount
