Insurance isn’t boring—it’s the foundation of your wealth plan. Most people treat it like an afterthought, only glancing at benefits during open enrollment and hoping nothing bad happens. That’s exactly why so many families end up scrambling when life hits them with the unexpected.

In this episode, I sit down with Maxwell Schmitz, a disability insurance and income protection expert, to rip apart the myths and excuses around insurance. We cover the psychology behind why people ignore it, the real risks you’re facing, and why disability insurance is more likely to impact your life than death during your working years.

We break down the most common myths:

• “I’m too young for that.”
• “I’ve got coverage through work, I’m good.”
• “Insurance is a waste of money.”

Max exposes the flaws in that thinking with numbers, stories, and blunt truth. We also dive into why group plans don’t cover nearly as much as you think, why cost isn’t the real barrier, and how insurance fits on the defensive side of your wealth strategy.

You’ll walk away knowing the exact policies to check before the year ends, the one question you should be asking your advisor, and why your emergency fund is the first move if you do nothing else.

This is a raw, no-BS conversation about protecting your income, your family, and your peace of mind. Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/aCx9zCcjhII

This episode pulls no punches. We’re talking about the realities of first-generation wealth building, the systemic oppression that keeps people stuck, and the truth about how legacy gaps can transform into generational growth.

I sit down with Dr. LaTanya White—researcher, entrepreneur, and unapologetic truth-teller—to dissect why traditional wealth advice doesn’t work for everyone. We break down the weight of starting from scratch, the emotional toll of being the first in your family to build wealth, and why community is the key to not burning out along the way.

We cover the myths the media pushes—like “everyone has the same opportunity” or “just invest and wait”—and we shred them with real research and lived experience. From the collapse of the Freedman’s Bank to the unseen wealth of America’s richest families, we connect the dots on why so many are left behind and how to fight back with knowledge and resilience.

Most importantly, Dr. White shares actionable steps: what to read, how to build a vision for wealth, and how to start documenting your family’s story today. Because wealth isn’t just about money—it’s about knowledge, forgiveness, and community.

If you’re tired of the same recycled advice that ignores your lived reality, this episode will hit you hard. Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/KeVp7aHgAnk

You want the truth about the One Big Beautiful Bill. Not headlines. Not wishful thinking. The real impact on your money and your business. That is what we cover today.

Morgan Anderson joins me to break down what changes now, what phases in next, and where the media is getting it wrong. We hit the mess around “no tax on tips” and why it is not the free pass people think it is. We talk expiring credits, retroactive tweaks, and why Q4 tax planning beats “see you in March” every single time.

If you own an S corp or LLC, pay attention. We talk practical realities for business owners, from what deductions still pass the laugh test to new wrinkles you have not heard about. We also dig into common mistakes with DIY tax software and why first-time accuracy is going to be shaky after a major code shift.

We close with a September checklist you can run this week. W-2s, use the IRS withholding calculator. Business owners, sit down with your CPA or EA and your advisor. Adjust estimates. Map Roth conversions, HSAs, 529s, and risk management moves that help you get ahead of what is coming.

Q4 is the graveyard for lazy marketing. Every year, business owners crank out more posts, flood their feeds, and wonder why nothing sticks. It’s not about more volume. It’s about strategy, intention, and execution. And if you miss that in Q4, you’re already behind.

In this episode, Stoy Hall and Kristina Hall rip apart the myths the “experts” keep pushing. We tackle why Q4 is the toughest quarter of the year, how ad spend spikes and engagement plummets, and why throwing AI-generated junk into the world is only adding to the noise. We dig into rage-bait culture, the obsession with daily posting, and the lie that you need to be everywhere at once.

We go deeper than tactics. We talk about mindset. Why business owners chase trends instead of building stories that actually connect. Why stock photos and polished nonsense won’t move the needle. Why you need KPIs that matter, not vanity metrics. And why, if you don’t already have a Q4 plan, you better make one this week or risk starting next year scrambling.

This is not another “social media hacks” episode. This is the no-bullshit breakdown of what’s working, what’s dead, and what you should be doing right now to cut through the chaos.

If you’re tired of wasting time chasing algorithms, if you’re ready to hear the truth about how to actually use social to grow your business, this is your wake-up call.

Parenting isn’t content. It’s real life. It’s loud, messy, exhausting, and worth every ounce of you. In this episode of Let’s Get Real, I talk honestly about back-to-school chaos, youth sports pressure, and the money choices that actually build a family you’re proud of. We get into why “perfect parent” is a trap, how to use the 18 summers mindset without panicking, and what coaching football keeps teaching me about raising boys who become solid men.

In this episode:

• The lie of perfect parenting and what to do instead
• Youth sports as a classroom for character, not clout
• Coach less, cheer more, and let kids be kids
• Spending with values so your money matches your priorities
• How to quiet the survival voice and make better decisions

This week on Let’s Get Real – we’re tearing into the headlines from the week of August 4th and not holding back. From FBI-confirmed pump-and-dump scams designed to leave you holding the bag… to TikTok layoff videos that could wreck your career before you even hit “upload”… to an Iowa task force actually floating performance-based pay and benefit cuts for teachers—yeah, they really said that.

I’ll break down exactly what’s going on, why it matters to YOU, and the moves you should be making to protect yourself, your money, and your future. No sugarcoating, no corporate spin—just straight talk and action steps.

You ever unplug long enough to actually feel again?

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what really matters—not headlines, not hustle culture, not market panic. But moments. Memories. Legacy. After 18 hours in a car, hiking Zion, dodging rattlesnakes, and road-tripping with my wife and kids, I realized how little time we actually have with the people we love—and how much time we waste worrying about shit we can't control.

This one’s personal. We talk about the power of presence, why you’re probably putting off the wrong things, and how our obsession with productivity is robbing us of purpose.

I also drop a preview of what’s coming for No BS Wealth. We’re bringing in 31 vetted experts—real professionals, no fluff—to go deep on the stuff no advisor ever wants to explain. From taxes to legacy to legal and everything in between.

But today, I’m asking you to pause.

Lose reception. Gain some damn perspective.
