  • The Fire Safety Steps You're Skipping (Plus: What the World Worries About in Retirement) SB1774

    The Fire Safety Steps You're Skipping (Plus: What the World Worries About in Retirement) SB1774
    Dec 15 2025
    Some episodes help you protect your money. Some help you protect everything your money makes possible. This episode does both. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG welcome fire safety expert Steve Kerber from UL's Fire Safety Research Institutes, who delivers simple, practical, "do this today" steps that dramatically increase your home's safety. From upgrading outdated smoke alarms to understanding lithium-ion battery risks to spotting hidden hazards most people walk past every single day, Steve gives everyday Stackers the tools to keep their homes and families safer. This isn't scare tactics. It's straightforward guidance from someone who's spent his career studying what actually prevents fires and saves lives. Then the show shifts gears for the headline segment. Joe and OG unpack T. Rowe Price's latest Global Retirement Survey to explore what savers around the world are most anxious about right now. How are people adapting to inflation? Are retirement expectations shifting across different countries? What can you learn from how others are handling the same fears you probably have? The data reveals patterns that might surprise you and insights you can actually use to build more confidence in your own retirement planning. Between these two segments, you'll get Doug's trivia throwdown, a TikTok detour through airport lounge mythology, and a few classic basement moments that remind you why this show mixes serious topics with serious fun. It's a wide-ranging episode packed with actionable takeaways and a good reminder that your financial plan works best when your home, your health, and your long-term outlook are all protected. What You'll Walk Away With: • The small home safety upgrades that make the biggest difference in fire prevention • Why smoke alarms fail more often than you think and how to pick the right replacement • Lithium-ion battery safety covering where to store them, what to avoid, and which myths to ignore • How real-world fire prevention thinking overlaps with smart financial planning habits • What savers around the world worry about most when it comes to retirement • How inflation, longevity concerns, and economic uncertainty are reshaping retirement expectations globally • Practical steps to feel more confident about your long-term retirement plan based on what the data reveals • Permission to take simple safety steps today that your future self will thank you for This Episode Is For You If: • You can't remember the last time you checked your smoke alarms (or know they're overdue for replacement) • You've got lithium-ion batteries around the house but aren't sure if you're storing them safely • You're curious what retirement worries look like around the world and how yours compare • You want retirement insights based on actual data instead of just one expert's opinion • You believe protecting what you have is just as important as growing what you're building Before You Hit Play, Ask Yourself: When's the last time you actually tested your smoke alarms or checked their expiration dates? And what's your biggest retirement worry right now? Drop both answers in the comments because Steve's fire safety tips and the global retirement data might address fears you didn't even realize were universal.

  • Does More Money Actually Make Life Easier? (Spoiler: Not Really) SB1773

    Does More Money Actually Make Life Easier? (Spoiler: Not Really) SB1773
    Dec 12 2025
    Does more money make life easier, or does it just give you more expensive problems to solve? Most people assume that once they start earning more, their financial life will finally calm down and organize itself. Then they get the raise or the promotion or the business success, and somehow things feel just as chaotic as before, just with bigger numbers involved. Joe Saul-Sehy is joined by Paula Pant (Afford Anything), Jesse Cramer (Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors), and OG to explore why "more" isn't always "simpler." The crew digs into early money mistakes they'd all like to forget, the weird psychological traps that show up as income grows, and why your brain doesn't automatically upgrade its money management skills just because your paycheck did. The conversation gets real about the hidden mental challenges that come with wealth growth. Decision fatigue gets worse, not better. Lifestyle creep sneaks in wearing a very convincing disguise. And suddenly you're agonizing over choices that used to be simple, because now you can afford multiple options and none of them feel obviously right. If you've ever wondered why your financial life didn't magically self-organize the moment you started earning more, this roundtable has your answers. The crew also tackles listener questions about building budgeting habits that actually stick, finding genuine financial confidence, and creating systems that scale with your life instead of working against it. Because the goal isn't just to make more money. It's to build a life that feels manageable and intentional at whatever income level you're at. Plus, Doug delivers a trivia showdown featuring fierce competition, questionable strategy, and what might be the most overthought trophy dilemma in basement history. What You'll Walk Away With: • Why more income doesn't automatically reduce financial stress and often creates new complications • The hidden mental traps people fall into as their wealth grows and how to spot them early • How Paula, Jesse, OG, and Joe think about building lasting financial confidence at any income level • Practical budgeting strategies that work whether you're making $50K or $500K • Why simple pleasures matter more (not less) as your money grows • The surprising ways earning more actually complicates everyday decisions • Listener Q&A on habits, organization, and creating systems that smooth out financial chaos • Permission to admit that making more money didn't solve everything like you thought it would This Episode Is For You If: • You're earning more than you used to but somehow don't feel more in control • You assumed financial stress would decrease with income but it just shifted to different problems • You're stuck between multiple good options and can't figure out why that's so paralyzing • You want to hear successful people admit that more money created complications they didn't expect • You're building wealth but want to make sure you're also building a life that feels good Before You Hit Play, Think About This: What's one financial decision that got harder (not easier) as you started earning more money? Drop your answer in the comments because this roundtable proves you're definitely not the only one experiencing this paradox. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Magic and Logic: How Lou Frankfort Built Coach (Plus: Don't Make This Retirement Mistake (SB1772)

    Magic and Logic: How Lou Frankfort Built Coach (Plus: Don't Make This Retirement Mistake (SB1772)
    Dec 10 2025
    Walking away from a secure city government job to eventually run one of the world's most recognizable handbag brands sounds like fiction. For Lou Frankfort, it became his career story, and the path between those two points is exactly what makes this conversation so valuable. Lou joins Joe Saul-Sehy and OG in the basement to break down how a combination of discipline, curiosity, and what he calls "magic and logic" shaped his journey from city hall to the corner office at Coach. This isn't just inspiration for aspiring executives. Lou's insights about making better decisions, taking calculated risks, and building a meaningful life apply whether you're 25 or 55, whether you're climbing the ladder or considering jumping to a different one entirely. Lou shares how preparation became his secret advantage, why curiosity beats confidence during major transitions, and what he learned about leadership while helping transform Coach into a global powerhouse. His framework for balancing intuition with analysis gives the Confident Explorer a practical lens for evaluating their own big moves, career pivots, or midlife reinventions. Then Joe and OG shift gears to tackle a different kind of transition. The first year of retirement. When excitement runs high and "go-go" energy meets newfound freedom, spending can spiral in ways that derail decades of careful planning. They break down the crucial financial decisions retirees face right out of the gate, why that first year can be surprisingly dangerous, and how to set yourself up for long-term stability without killing the joy of finally having time to live. Plus, Doug delivers trivia involving time travel and underwear, because even episodes about CEO wisdom and retirement planning need a reality check from the basement. What You'll Walk Away With: • How Lou Frankfort pivoted from city government work to leading Coach and what that path teaches about career reinvention • The "magic and logic" framework anyone can apply to big decisions and career moves • Why curiosity and thorough preparation matter more than confidence when making your next leap • Leadership lessons from someone who helped build a global brand from the inside • What retirees absolutely must understand about spending during that crucial first year • Why the "go-go years" of early retirement can wreck your finances if you're not careful • Strategies for aligning your early retirement excitement with long-term financial stability • Permission to reinvent yourself at any age, armed with both inspiration and practical wisdom This Episode Is For You If: • You're considering a career change but worried you're too far along to pivot • You want to understand how successful people actually made their big moves • You're approaching retirement and want to avoid the spending traps that catch most people • You're curious how to balance intuition with analysis when making major life decisions • You believe it's never too late to build something meaningful or try something new Before You Hit Play, Think About This: What's one career move or life transition you've been thinking about but haven't pulled the trigger on yet? What's actually holding you back? Drop your answer in the comments because Lou's story might be exactly the perspective shift you need to take that next step.

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.
