Greg and Chad talk through the last chapter of Forging Financial Freedom and what it actually means to take control of your own life. So much of what we focus on is out of our control and it leaves us feeling stuck. The economy, other people, unexpected circumstances and it’s easy to blame everything around us and wait for someone to step in and fix it.

But the truth is the choices you make in your own home, with your money, and in your habits carry more weight than anything happening outside of you. You can always take a small step forward, no matter what’s going on. It’s about letting go of the helpless mindset, owning your daily actions, and stacking small wins that add up over time.

And you don’t have to do it alone. Community, mentors, and resources keep you steady and supported. Ask yourself where you are, where you want to be, and what the smallest next step looks like today.

This episode is for anyone tired of feeling stuck and ready to reclaim the influence they actually have in their life.

In today's episode Chad and Logan explore the Persistence Over Perfection chapter from Forging Financial Freedom. Using examples from sports legends like Ichiro Suzuki and Frank Gore, they show how small, consistent actions can lead to big results whether in sports, investing, or everyday life.

They remind us that chasing the perfect plan often keeps us stuck, and real progress comes from showing up, doing the work, and staying consistent. This episode highlights how habits compound over time, why persistence matters more than perfection, and how the lessons of discipline and consistency ripple across all areas of life.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to have it all figured out before moving forward, this episode will encourage you to start where you are, take the next step, and trust the process.

In this episode of The Blue Collar Millionaire Show, Logan and Greg share a conversation that starts with moose hunting and ends with a lesson about life, mentorship, and financial guidance.

Greg talks about how every year his hunting group manages to bring home a moose, thanks to the experience and wisdom of his dad — a professional guide who spent years teaching others how to read the land and understand the hunt. That kind of knowledge doesn’t come from luck; it comes from walking beside someone who’s already been there.

Logan connects this idea to the work they do at Veritas. Having a financial advisor isn’t just about choosing investments or watching numbers move. It’s about partnership, trust, and learning how to make confident decisions for the long haul. A great guide doesn’t just get the job done — they teach you how to navigate the terrain on your own.

Because whether you’re tracking a moose in the woods or building a plan for your future, it’s easy to get lost without someone who knows the way.
