846: David Burns, The Business Monk Feb 11, 2019

Show notes

We’re getting philosophical - financially philosophical - on the show today. Our guest is David Burns, founder of The Business Monk. Those are two words I never thought I’d say together, but David is convinced you can pursue business and have it become a path to spiritual awakening.

Through his work as a coaching consultant, David helps entrepreneurs and CEOs learn to stop working themselves to death. He teaches his clients how to replace false beliefs, manifest money, stop repeating bad habits and pursue more depth in their personal relationships. Got to say we’re lucky, because we’re getting David all to ourselves to learn from his playbook here in the next 30 minutes.

844: Susan Packard, Co-Founder HGTV and Author Feb 06, 2019

Show notes

We all know what emotional intelligence is for the most part, I think, but what about emotional fitness? We're talking to Susan Packard. She's the author of Fully Human: Steps to Grow Your Emotional Fitness in Work, Leadership, and Life. It comes out this month.

Susan is a pretty big deal. You may know her by the brands that she has built. Most notably, she helped to build TV brands like CNBC and the Food Network. She was the second employee and COO of HGTV, which is my favorite channel. Later, they sold HGTV for $15 billion in 2018.

Susan's career has now led her to thought leadership, speaking, writing. Her latest book again is called Fully Human. In it, she shares insights that she gained during her years at places like HGTV. Susan believes there's a gap between what we know about emotional intelligence and how we live. In this book, she offers invaluable tools that bridge that gap. We talk about her upbringing in Detroit, managing money in her marriage and navigating very male-dominated industries as a leader and executive.

841: Annie Dickerson and Julie Lam, GoodEgg Investments Jan 30, 2019

Show notes

Our guests today are going to share some real estate secrets. The two of them are cofounders of Goodegg Investments, where they help everyday people invest in cash flowing real estate. What is this all about, how can we get involved, how risky is it?

Many of us are raised with this ideal around owning a home. Buying a home is the American dream and lately, I think that has been up for debate. But I think what is *still* very interesting is investing in real estate, finding the right markets, finding the right kinds of properties, turning these properties into investments and making them cash flow positive. But of course, all that comes with a lot of work, a lot of research. It’s a whole job!

Our guests today are trying to simplify this process, streamline this process and invite more people to participate in real estate investing. Annie Dickerson and Julie Lam cofounded a company named Goodegg Investments. They’re both working moms and experienced real estate investors who joined forces to find a way to help other busy people learn how to invest in cash-flowing real estate - without being a landlord.

To date, Goodegg Investments has co-syndicated over $400 million dollars of real estate assets. Annie and Julie are going to walk us through the behind-the-scenes of their business, how they identify good properties, how they more or less recession-proof their business and also, financial advice they were raised with that impacted their lives today.

840: Melissa Leong, Author of Happy Go Money Jan 28, 2019

Show notes

Many people have studied the connection between money and happiness. A recent Purdue University study revealed that people making $200,000 are no happier than people earning $95,000 a year. What do we make of this information? Why is it important? Today’s guest is going to try to help us figure some of this out. Melissa Leong is a personal finance expert, writer, television personality, speaker and bestselling author. Her book Happy Go Money hit shelves earlier in January this year. The book aims to teach people how to derive the most happiness from their money. Melissa digs into psychology, personal finance and her own personal story to offer practical, easy to understand advice.

Melissa is very honest, as we’ll hear about her own personal struggles, from her decision to quit her job as a journalist to watching her husband battle extreme depression and how her firm grip on money helped her to overcome those obstacles and achieve happiness.

You can learn more about Melissa at www.MelissaLeong.com and follow her on Twitter @MelissaLeong.

838: Linda Davis Taylor: CEO, Clifford Swan Investment Counselors Jan 23, 2019

Show notes

Did you know over 70 percent of wealth doesn’t last beyond three generations? That means if you’re currently working hard to build wealth and create a financial legacy that will outlive you, you might want to think about sitting down with your family and making sure they know how to keep your investments growing.

Linda Davis Taylor is the CEO and Chairman of Clifford Swan Investment Counselors in Pasadena, California, and a champion for women’s economic independence and strength. Clifford Swan is the nation’s oldest investment advisory firm and has been in existence for over 100 years.

Linda is not only the leader of this firm. She’s also a frequent speaker on wealth transition, family governance, and philanthropy. Linda wrote the book called ‘The Business of Family’ to help educate families on multi-generational financial sustainability.

She believes that “Being rich means having a sense of purpose, knowing where you came from, defining your value systems, and questioning how you’re living.” And, if you want your wealth to last generations, it’s incredibly important to run your family like a business, where everyone is educated about how to handle money, how to save it, and how to grow it.

I’m excited to hear more about this philosophy today and learn from someone who has done so much to advance women in the financial industry.

To learn more about Linda, please visit www.CliffordSwan.com and www.LindaDavisTaylor.com.
