  • How Are You Creating Your Happiest Life? (SB1734)

    How Are You Creating Your Happiest Life? (SB1734)
    Sep 12 2025
    If having more money guaranteed happiness, we’d all just set our financial targets, cash the checks, and live joyfully ever after. But as Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, Paula Pant (Afford Anything), and Joel Larsgaard (How to Money) unpack in this lively roundtable, life’s richest rewards often have little to do with your net worth. They explore why some wealthy people still feel miserable, how Benjamin Franklin’s approach to living can still teach us a thing or two, and why optimism may be your secret investing edge. From the science that says peak life satisfaction might just happen around age 70, to the underrated role of good friends in a rich life (financially and emotionally), this episode blends timeless wisdom with modern money smarts. Whether you’re chasing financial independence, already there, or just trying to make sure your journey is as fulfilling as your destination, you’ll find ideas you can put into practice right now. And because this is the basement, expect the conversation to meander into relatable stories, some eyebrow-raising trivia, and a few debates on what balance really looks like when you factor in both spreadsheets and smiles. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why money alone won’t guarantee happiness (and what really does) How Benjamin Franklin’s life principles still apply in today’s financial world The connection between optimism and long-term investing success The surprising age when happiness may peak (and what to do before you get there) How to balance financial independence with enjoying the present Why strong social circles are a must-have part of your wealth plan Questions to Ponder (and maybe share your answers with the Basement Facebook Group!): Do you think your happiness will peak at a certain age—or is it more about circumstances? How do you balance saving for the future with enjoying your money today? What’s one small, intentional change you’ve made that had a big impact on your happiness? Learn more about your ad choices.

  • How to Lead (and Evaluate Good Leadership) with David Gergen (SB1733)

    How to Lead (and Evaluate Good Leadership) with David Gergen (SB1733)
    Sep 10 2025
    What can you learn about leadership from someone who’s served four U.S. Presidents, navigated some of the most intense moments in American politics, and still believes the future depends on building more leaders, not fewer? In this Greatest Hits Week replay, Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug welcome David Gergen—former White House advisor, Harvard professor, and author—to the basement for a masterclass on leadership that applies as much to your career and investments as it does to running a country. Gergen pulls back the curtain on life inside the White House, from the early lessons he learned in the Navy to the behind-the-scenes moments that revealed the human side of Presidents. Along the way, he shares what separates great leaders from the rest, how to evaluate leadership in others (and yourself), and why service and responsibility are the cornerstones of lasting influence. Whether you’re leading a team at work, managing your family’s financial future, or just trying to be the kind of person others trust, you’ll find plenty here to sharpen your approach. And because no visit to the basement is complete without some SB-style surprises, you’ll also hear stories of presidential humor gone sideways, a White House prank or two, and reflections on how good leadership isn’t about perfection—it’s about purpose. Plus, the guys tackle a listener question on investing without specific goals, and Doug tests the panel’s trivia chops with a leadership twist. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How David Gergen defines real leadership (and how it’s changed over time) The telltale signs you’re working with—or for—a great leader Lessons from the Navy, the West Wing, and history’s most memorable leaders Why building leaders is just as important as being one Practical ways to evaluate leadership in politics, business, and investing How a clear sense of service can make you a better investor and decision-maker Questions for you while you listen (share with our Facebook group!): Who’s the best leader you’ve ever worked for, and what made them stand out? How do you evaluate whether someone is worth following—whether in politics, business, or life? What’s one leadership skill you wish more people would develop? Learn more about your ad choices.

This isn’t just about avoiding bad actors—it’s about knowing what great advice looks like so you can spot the difference. You’ll hear why “fun money” accounts can be a trap, how to sniff out overly speculative pitches, and why transparency isn’t optional when it comes to your financial future. Along the way, we sprinkle in a few stories, historical nuggets, and plenty of those classic “Doug moments” that make a trip to the basement worth your time. If you’ve ever wondered whether your financial guide is truly on your side—or if you just want to sharpen your radar—this episode will give you the practical tools to tell the difference between a trusted partner and a wolf in a well-tailored suit. What You’ll Learn in This Episode The five biggest advisor red flags that should send you running How to evaluate an advisor’s investment recommendations for risk and suitability Why fee transparency can make or break a relationship The subtle clues in an advisor’s office environment and interactions The difference between fun money accounts and dangerous speculation How to ensure your advisor’s plan matches your long-term goals Questions to Think About: When’s the last time you reviewed exactly how your advisor gets paid? Are you clear on the why behind each investment they’ve recommended? Would you feel confident explaining your advisor’s strategy to a friend—or does it sound like a foreign language?

I had high hopes for this podcast, but they run their mouths about nothing important for the majority of the shows. This is a financial show that 4 minutes are finance related content. I hope the book this guy wrote is better than his podcast and not full of all the extra garbage. Drop the BS and stick to finance or change the name to "the random useless info show"

it would be way better if they cut out the garage.

I found this podcast after seeing multiple good reviews on Reddit. I picked an episode at random to listen to on my commute. The first 25 minutes were ads, a discussion about Adam West as Batman, a long talk about fire safety, a trivia question about Dave Thomas of Wendy's, and more ads. All of this before the guest and topic of the episode are mentioned at all. It was a complete waste of time.

I like how the show discusses meaningful topics in a humorous way. It leaves me with things to think about and ways to improve my life.

Interesting and helpful

This is not a personal finance show. It's a talk show with people who may or may not know anything about personal finance having a good time.

Get ready to not learn anything. But leave with a chuckle or two.

Fun lighthearted shoe

If you live in the world of personal finance you know that information can get repetitive. This podcast breaks up the monotony with humor and current events. Joe and OG are cutting edge. Well worth the time to listen.

Awesome Podcast
