Most money advice tells you to grind harder, save more, and wait. We don’t buy it. Brad sits down with author and entrepreneur finance expert Garrett Gunderson to talk about a different target: financial independence, where cash flow covers your life and work becomes optional. Along the way, we get real about the cost of living on “someday,” and why building wealth should improve your quality of life now, not just your net worth later.

Garrett shares what he learned studying generational wealth and the Rockefeller strategy, including the practical moves families can borrow even without billionaire money: trusts that carry instructions, life insurance used for liquidity and tax-efficient legacy planning, and a modern version of a family office where advisors actually coordinate. We also dig into the human side of wealth, like investing in heirs through family retreats, building shared rituals, and writing a family constitution in your own words so values travel with the assets. (I LOVE THIS)

Then we take on retirement planning, 401(k)s, taxes, and the hidden drains Garrett calls the Four I’s: IRS, interest, investments, and insurance. The GE pension story is a sharp lesson in stability, sequence-of-returns risk, and what happens when greed replaces good structure. We also talk “investor DNA,” why taking bigger risks isn’t the same as getting better returns, and why investing in yourself is often the highest ROI move you can make. (key take away)

If you’ve ever wondered how to create generational wealth, protect your assets, and still enjoy the life you’re building, this conversation gives you a clear starting point.

OUR Guest this Week: Rick Elmore

*We apologize for the sound quality with this weeks guest*

You know that split-second reaction when you spot a handwritten envelope in a pile of junk mail and bills? We’re chasing that moment of attention and what it means for modern marketing with Rick Elmore, former NFL defensive end and the founder and CEO of Simply Noted.

Rick walks us through the real economics of the NFL, why “not for long” is more than a joke, and how an identity crisis after football pushed him into sales, an MBA, and eventually entrepreneurship. The turning point is surprisingly simple: handwritten notes get opened, remembered, and trusted, but almost nobody has the time to write them at scale. So Rick tested the idea, proved the response, then built the infrastructure to make it real, including custom handwriting robots that put actual pen on paper.

We also get practical about scaling a self-funded business: production capacity, engineering costs, and the painful lesson that what gets you to a few million in revenue will not get you to the next level. Then we go full modern with direct mail tracking, QR code attribution, and Rick’s bullish take on AI for small business, including how he runs AI SDRs to book meetings. The big takeaway: as AI increases distance, relationship marketing and trust signals like handwritten mail become even more valuable.

One shot can freeze time and then speed your whole life up. Kris Jenkins, the Villanova guard who buried the legendary 4.7-second buzzer beater to win the 2016 national championship, joins us for a real, behind-the-scenes breakdown of what that moment felt like and why it wasn’t luck. We talk about the game’s momentum swings, the pressure of the last possession, and the instant he knew the ball was going in because the “work was already done.”

From there, we zoom out to the part people forget: what happens after the highlight goes viral. Kris shares how quickly the fame hit, what it’s like waking up to major media attention, and how he kept his friendships and mindset steady when the world suddenly wanted photos and autographs. We also get into a wild layer of the story, facing his brother on the opposite side of the championship game, and how that changes the emotional weight of winning and losing.

Kris also brings his perspective into today’s college sports reality, including NIL (Name, Image, Likeness). We unpack why athletes deserve to be paid, why the system can still go too far without guardrails, and why financial literacy and long-term thinking matter when money shows up early. He shares how he now uses these lessons in public speaking for athletes and organizations, focusing on leadership, dominant teams, finding your role, and meeting your moment.

Our Guest This WEEK: Jeremy Schreifels

Most people don’t fail at podcasting because they lack talent, they fail because they pick the wrong topic and they can’t stay consistent long enough for trust to compound. That’s why this conversation with Jeremy Schreifels hit so hard for us. Jeremy is the executive producer and founder of Box Seven Media, and he brings a musician’s ear to podcast production, audiobook creation, and video content that actually connects.

We get into the nuts and bolts of podcasting trends like video podcasting and why recording on a platform like Riverside gives you options later. Jeremy breaks down why a single strong episode can fuel your podcast marketing system with 35 to 40 pieces of repurposed content, something you simply can’t squeeze out of one blog post or one social post. We also talk about the real reason shows fade out after episode 8 and again after episode 21, and how passion and curiosity are the only sustainable fix.

Then we go deep on audiobooks: why they’re life-changing for people who don’t love reading, why author-read audiobooks carry more emotion, and how listening at 1.2x speed can keep your attention locked in. Jeremy also shares a smart creator move: add bonus audio that never appears in print. We wrap with leadership ideas we keep thinking about, from “change your questions, change your growth” to the “peeps in your Jeep” lesson on surrounding yourself with the right people, plus Jeremy’s push for true royalty-free theme music so creators don’t get flagged.

His mom didn’t show up to a foreclosure auction to buy a building. She showed up to beg to stay. Then she raised her hand, outbid the bank, scraped together the money, and walked out a landlord. That true story is where Andy Henriquez built the message “Show Up For Your Life” and it sets the tone for a conversation about courage, entrepreneurship, and what it takes to act before you feel ready.

Andy and I also go deep on storytelling as a real world skill for business, leadership, coaching, and personal branding. We unpack why most people try to persuade with features and credentials, why nobody cares about a “human trophy case,” and how a well told story creates the fastest path to trust. If you’ve ever struggled to sell your service, lead a team, or even get people to listen, this is the practical framework you’ve been missing: connect before you sell, paint the destination, and make people feel the point.

We also talk about authenticity in the AI age. As fake images, fake videos, and polished scripts flood the internet, real human connection becomes a competitive advantage. Andy explains why signature stories win, how to find yours through challenges and defining moments, and how to stop speaking from the mountaintop and start meeting people in the valley where they actually live.

“What if the health system isn’t designed to keep you healthy?” That question sets the tone as we talk with Jay Campbell (while he was on vacation in Mexico) about what it actually takes to get fully optimized, not just “treated.” We start with Jay’s personal turning point: a sports injury that led to lab work, a shocking testosterone result, and a crash course in hormone optimization that changed how he thinks about energy, pain, mood, and performance.

From there, we get into the real nuts and bolts of peptides and the GLP-1 wave. Jay explains why GLP-1 peptides became mainstream through Ozempic and Wegovy, what they do for appetite and glucose control, and why so many people run into trouble when they treat them like a shortcut. We dig into microdosing, protecting muscle with resistance training, and how “Ozempic face” and other side effects can often come down to high doses and zero lifestyle structure. If you care about metabolic health, insulin resistance, obesity, body composition, and longevity, this conversation connects the dots.

We also go beyond injections and talk biohacking choices that carry real risk or real upside. Jay shares why he’s high on oxygen and ozone hydrotherapy for recovery, sleep, and energy, and why cold plunges can be overrated and even dangerous for unconditioned people. We wrap with Jay’s new book Metabolic Awakening With GLP-1 Peptides and where to get his free resources.

Subscribe for more conversations like this, share the episode with a friend who’s curious about GLP-1s, and leave a review if you want us to bring Jay back for round two.

Hope doesn’t always look heroic. Sometimes it’s a nine-year-old whispering a fearful prayer, a college student lying on the floor searching for sleep, or a friend deciding to make one more call before the dark closes in. We sat down with Author, Podcast Host and Psychology student Andelina Storm to trace how childhood loss led to OCD and anxiety, how depression blindsided her in college, and how faith and practical tools helped her trade control for peace. Her message is simple and hard: put a comma in your story, not a period.

Andelina shares the moment a friend’s suicide reshaped her path and why she became a Promise To Live ambassador, turning grief into a mission to interrupt the ripple of silence. We unpack the difference between everyday nerves and clinical anxiety, why stigma still lingers even as awareness grows, and how small, repeatable habits create room for breath—sleep rhythms, grounding exercises, community check-ins, sunlight, music, and even the quiet medicine of petting a dog. She explains how she channels obsessive tendencies into useful structure and why depression, more than anxiety, demanded a new playbook.

We also explore her debut book, Sanity in the Storm, and her podcast, Peace in the Storm, where she blends scripture with evidence-based coping strategies to meet Gen Z where they are. For skeptics and believers alike, Andelina treats the Bible as durable wisdom for restless minds, pairing it with psychology to build an integrated approach to mental health. You’ll hear a moving cameo from her father on the hidden cost families carry—and the fierce pride of watching a daughter choose life, again and again.

If you or someone you love is walking through heavy weather, this conversation offers both compass and company. Listen, share it forward, and help someone add a comma today. If this spoke to you, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: what line are you carrying into your week?
