Key Highlights 1. Connection over Transaction Susan RoAne champions the power of bringing your true self to every interaction, transforming networking from a dreaded chore into a natural extension of who you are. She recommends ditching the elevator pitch in favor of meaningful pleasantries and relatable anecdotes: "Bring who you are to what you do. People connect with who you are. What you do is secondary." 2. Move from ‘Who You Know’ to ‘Who Knows What You Know’ J. Kelly Hoey emphasizes the era of digital presence: your online activity builds relationships around the clock, even while you sleep. Kelly advises, “Every human interaction is a chance to build a relationship... People may be looking up your digital presence any time.” Your expertise and reputation are shaped as much by your network as by your contributions, so curate your professional story online intentionally. 3. Build Community, Not Just a Rolodex David Spinks draws a sharp line between networking and community-building, advocating for a shift in perspective: “The best way to actually build your network is to build community.” Rather than trying to know everyone, focus on connecting others and fostering environments of trust, belonging, and shared purpose. 4. Introverts Can Be Master Networkers Matthew Pollard debunks the myth that extroversion is a prerequisite for networking success. His system is built on preparation, empathy, and curiosity—shifting the conversation from self-promotion to mission-driven dialogue: “The number one rule of networking is it’s not about you... Focus on the change you want to see, not just what you do for money.”

Jamie also warns about new financial threats: “I think that fraud...is going to become rampant. It’s the biggest concern out there...it’s a big concern.”

Key Highlights: 1. Intentional Living Rewires Financial Beliefs Vicki Robin explains that understanding the “life energy” behind money—a cornerstone of Your Money or Your Life—helps shift spending from mere consumption to empowered, values-driven choices.

Visualization and Feeling as Catalysts for Wealth Laura Tynan reveals why visualization techniques—when grounded in emotion—can powerfully transform your financial journey. “Visualization can be really powerful if it helps us to connect to the feeling of the reality that we want to create.” If affirmations or vision boards feel empty, tuning into genuine emotion is key. 3.

She notes, “Gratitude is the most powerful energetic signature that we can cultivate…magnetizing abundance both emotionally and practically.” 4.

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen

The stock market feels more complex than ever—rising inflation, shifting interest rates, and non-stop headlines can rattle even the most seasoned investors. If you want to cut through the noise and build a long-term investing strategy that works, you’ll want to hear directly from professionals who have navigated everything from market booms to bear cycles.

This episode of Inspired Money brings together four leading investment minds to share real-world tactics, mindsets, and frameworks for surviving—and thriving—over the long haul.

Meet the Expert Panelists David Stein is the founder of Money for the Rest of Us and a former institutional investment strategist who managed billions in assets as Chief Portfolio Strategist at FEG Investment Advisors. He now educates individuals through his top-ranked podcast, best-selling book, and investment tools platform Asset Camp, helping investors build resilient portfolios with confidence and clarity. https://moneyfortherestofus.com https://assetcamp.com

Mariko Gordon, CFA, CFP® is the CEO of Uzume LLC, where she provides financial planning and consulting services to individuals and families. She previously founded and built Daruma Capital Management into a $2.5 billion firm with a distinctive, non-traditional approach to investing. With over 30 years of experience as a small-cap stock picker, she now helps clients navigate personal finance, entrepreneurship, and life transitions, drawing from her deep expertise in business, investing, and her multicultural heritage. https://marikogordon.com https://www.uzumellc.com

Mike Taylor is the Lead Portfolio Manager of the Simplify Health Care ETF (PINK), the first 100% pro bono ETF with all net profits benefiting the Susan G. Komen Foundation. With over two decades of experience managing long/short healthcare equity portfolios at firms like Citadel, Millennium, and Diamondback Capital, Mike is widely recognized for running one of Wall Street’s top-performing healthcare hedge funds. https://www.simplify.us

Chris Wang, Managing Partner and Director of Research at Runnymede Capital Management, previously held roles as a research analyst and Assistant Portfolio Manager at TIAA-CREF. With over two decades of experience, Chris is known for Runnymede's unwavering integrity and distinguished track record in safeguarding clients' assets during turbulent financial times. www.runnymede.com

Key Highlights: 1. Building Resilient Portfolios David emphasizes the importance of asset allocation and diversification rather than focusing solely on picking individual stocks. By thinking like an endowment and blending global equities, bonds, and real assets, even individual investors can manage risk over time. He suggests, “As individuals, we can't just naively invest in the S&P 500 and hope things will go well… Our job is to understand the drivers and manage more like an institution.” 2. Investing vs. Gambling Mariko draws a clear line between investing and speculation: investing has a positive expected return and is grounded in a long-term horizon and strong fundamentals, while gambling is driven by short-term bets and speculation. Her practical advice: “Do it for 10% of your portfolio and learn from your mistakes… Put most of your money elsewhere.” 3. Adapting to Market Realities Mike shares that success in the market isn’t about being right most of the time, but about surviving your mistakes and adapting. He reveals that the best hedge fund managers aren’t right every day, but consistently compound small advantages: “The difference between a manager who’s good versus great is literally 3% of days up more. And that, compounded, is your return.” 4. Staying Rational in Volatile Markets Chris highlights the importance of sticking to a disciplined, research-driven strategy—and knowing when to be aggressive or defensive based on business cycles. Emotional investing and impulsive changes hurt performance. “Sometimes you just have to step away from the screen… avoiding the headlines and reading [only] on Sundays can help you keep perspective,” he says.

Call-to-Action So here’s your assignment for the week: Take 15 minutes and review your current investments. Ask yourself: Am I clear on why I own each holding? If you can’t answer that confidently, dig in. Is it a value play? A growth opportunity? A dividend payer? Or something you heard about on social media? Clarity is the first step toward confidence — and confident investors stay the course.

https://thisiszerohour.org

Bruno Fierens is a fifth-generation member of a wealthy Belgian family and the first Belgian member of Millionaires for Humanity, an organization advocating for fairer taxation and a more just global system. Reflecting on issues like sustainability, the fight against poverty, his privileged position in society and his experiences with philanthropy, kept leading him to the same conclusion: “if someone like me is really serious about changing things for the better, fairer taxation is the core issue to act on”. He is a media trainer and former spokesperson based in Brussels and holds master’s degrees in political science and communication.

www.brunofierensmediatraining.be https://millionairesforhumanity.org

Key Highlights 1. Philanthropy: More Than Writing Checks

Jacob Harold emphasizes that strategic philanthropy requires more than reacting to symptoms; it’s about “thinking structures, long-term impact, and tapping into a toolbox of solutions—from data to community organizing to storytelling.” He challenges us to ask: Are we using all the tools available, and are we learning as we give?

1. Tackling Systemic Issues Over Band-Aid Solutions

Bruno Fierens shares his journey—including tangible success and frustration—supporting homeless initiatives in Brussels. His perspective: “Philanthropy is amazing and needed, but it’s almost always going to work on symptoms—not enough on structural issues.” Bruno argues for systemic approaches like fair taxation alongside charitable giving.

1. Youth-Driven Action for Climate Solutions

Jamie Minden highlights how today’s young leaders, born into the climate crisis, are pushing philanthropy toward supporting community-driven and policy-level change. She shares, “Investing in grassroots organizations addressing policy and social change right now is vital if we want to turn the tide on climate.”

1. The Power—and Perils—of Modern Giving Platforms

Panelists discuss the transformative role of technology: from social media amplifying grassroots movements to the promise (and pitfalls) of AI and blockchain in making data-driven giving decisions. Caution is raised to prioritize ethical philanthropy that elevates community needs over donor preferences, to avoid what’s described as “philanthropic colonialism.”

Call-to-Action 🎯 So here’s your one assignment for the week. Take 20 minutes to reflect on your current giving—whether it’s time, money, or talent—and ask yourself: Is this aligned with the change I want to see in the world? Then, take one small action to move closer to that alignment. It could be researching an organization, signing up for a volunteer shift, or even having a conversation about wealth, fairness, or climate justice with someone in your circle.

Small steps create big ripples.

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen Feeling overwhelmed by information overload? Struggling to turn ideas into action? In this episode of Inspired Money, host Andy Wang sits down with renowned entrepreneur and author Pat Flynn to discuss practical strategies for mastering “lean learning,” lessons from his new book Lean Learning: How to Achieve More by Learning Less.

Whether you want to build passive income, overcome imposter syndrome, or finally break through the noise to implement your ideas, this conversation delivers actionable insights for professionals in today’s fast-moving, digitally saturated world.

Meet our Guest Pat Flynn is a serial entrepreneur, founder of Smart Passive Income (SPI), and a leading authority on online business, productivity, and education. He’s written four books, including "Will It Fly?" and his latest, "Lean Learning: How to Achieve More by Learning Less." Pat is known for his transparency in sharing wins, failures, and real-world tactics for building meaningful businesses and communities.

Key Highlights 1. The “Just-in-Time” Learning Advantage Pat Flynn explains the difference between “just-in-case” and “just-in-time” learning. Instead of hoarding information for every possible situation, he advocates focusing only on what’s immediately relevant: “Know your next step. Do that, and then you’ll figure it out.” This targeted approach prevents information overload and accelerates real progress toward your goals. 2. Turning Fear Into Fuel Pat candidly shares how fear of failure and perfectionism held him back early in his career—and how reframing mistakes as part of the growth process changed everything. “I’d rather fail faster,” he says, encouraging us to see failure as information, not a dead end. His story about iterating on the SwitchPod invention, and his advice for parents and mentors, inspire us to lead by example and embrace vulnerability. 3. The Power of Community & Accountability Both Pat and Andy highlight the importance of community as the “bedrock of learning and development.” Whether it’s mastermind groups, in-person meetups, or simply sharing your goals with a respected mentor, being part of a supportive ecosystem multiplies motivation, provides feedback, and delivers unexpected opportunities. “You can’t read the label when you’re inside the bottle,” Pat notes—underscoring why outside perspective matters. 4. Force Functions: Create Your Own Deadlines Pat discusses the concept of “voluntary force functions”—deliberately putting yourself in higher-pressure situations (like agreeing to a keynote speech) to catalyze rapid learning and growth. This tactical shift turns intention into action and helps beat procrastination. As he puts it, “When we choose to opt into situations where we have to do the thing...we can harness a temporary and strategic stressor for life-changing transformation.”

Call-to-Action This week, pick one area where you’ve been stuck in learning mode—then take a small, concrete action toward implementation. Whether it’s launching a project, signing up for your first community meetup, or sharing your idea with a trusted mentor, make progress by doing—starting today!

She highlighted, “The median amount of retirement assets to supplement Social Security is zero.” Ghilarducci elaborated that for those with retirement accounts, the median amount is only $90,000—insufficient for a stable retirement. She argued that the existing 401(k) system has failed to provide adequate retirement savings for workers and called for a more robust, professionally managed system akin to pensions. Furthermore, Ghilarducci expressed apprehension about including alternative asset strategies in individual retirement accounts, emphasizing the challenges and risks associated with such a do-it-yourself approach.

1. The Role of Alternative Investments Shana Orczyk Sissel discussed the potential benefits of including alternative investments in retirement portfolios, albeit with proper education and sizing. She noted, “The evidence suggests that a 20% allocation in that space…is kind of the optimal way to do it.” Sissel highlighted that these alternatives, such as managed futures and option strategies, can offer significant diversification and risk management benefits, challenging the idea that only traditional investments should be used.

2. Simplicity in Retirement Planning Roger Whitney, the Retirement Answer Man, emphasized the importance of simplicity in retirement planning, advocating for a straightforward approach over the complexity of alternative investments. He stated, “What are you trying to solve for first? If you are at retirement, you're trying to solve to meet the liabilities of your spending over a period of time. You're not trying to solve for alpha.” Whitney cautioned that the increasing availability of alternative investments is often just marketing, adding unnecessary execution risks to portfolios. He suggested that many retirees would benefit from focusing on simpler, more manageable investment strategies.

3. Personal Success with Real Estate Rich Carey shared his motivation behind investing in real estate, which was driven by his 20-year career in the military. While many perceive the military as a stable path leading to a pension after 20 years, Carey noticed periodic downsizings every four to five years, where personnel could be abruptly let go. He expressed his concern about potentially being discharged before completing his 20 years and missing out on the military pension. To safeguard his financial future, Carey began building a real estate portfolio to generate passive income. This way, even if he wasn't able to secure a military retirement, he would still have a stable income stream to rely on as he transitioned back into the civilian workforce.

4. Barbara Friedberg: Fees and Risks in Alternative Investments Barbara Friedberg raised significant concerns regarding the fees and risks associated with alternative investment products, particularly those available through newer crowdfunding apps. She cautioned, “Look at the fees because fees are inversely correlated with returns. And typically hedge funds have huge fees.” Friedberg stressed the importance of understanding the underlying products and potential losses, emphasizing that high fees can severely impact returns and should be a key consideration for investors.

Call-to-Action Take a look at your current retirement plan and identify one area where you could diversify. Whether it's adding a bit of real estate exposure, exploring ESG investments, or looking into digital assets, make it a point to start researching options.

Together, they share their expertise on market trends, valuation strategies, and maintenance essentials.

Understanding the Allure of Classic Car Investments Classic cars combine financial potential with personal satisfaction, making them an attractive choice for retirement investments. Unlike traditional assets, these vehicles carry a rich history and cultural significance, offering long-term appreciation and emotional connection.

This episode covers everything from selecting the right vehicles to understanding the risks involved. Whether you’re a collector or a first-time investor, these insights can help you navigate this exciting market.

🕒 Episode Insights Financial Benefits of Classic Cars Classic cars have shown steady returns over time. Andrew Shirley explains how these vehicles consistently rank high on the Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index, driven by rarity, craftsmanship, and historical value.

Key trends include:

• The rising popularity of 1980s and 1990s models, reflecting generational shifts.

In this episode of the Inspired Money Live Stream Podcast, we dive into alternative investments, focusing on luxury watches, rare wines, and classic cars. Our panel of experts, including Dan Spitz, master watchmaker and former Anthrax guitarist, Jasem Al Zeraei, a Patek Philippe enthusiast, Nick Baldelli-Boni, founder of "Cars in Tuscany," and Brian Freedman, a wine and spirits writer. The panel shares their invaluable insights on how these passion-driven assets can diversify portfolios and offer financial rewards.

Understanding the Allure of Passion Investing Alternative investments such as high-end watches, rare wines, and classic cars are gaining popularity. For their potential to offer both personal satisfaction and portfolio diversification. Unlike traditional assets, these tangible investments carry a rich history and cultural significance, making them both emotionally and financially rewarding. This episode covers everything from market trends to valuation, maintenance, and the risks involved in building a portfolio with these collectibles.

🕒 Episode Insights * Luxury Watch Market Trends: Dan Spitz shares insights into the vintage watch boom and why iconic brands like Patek Philippe are seeing exponential growth. * Wine as an Investment: Brian Freedman discusses the growing interest in fine wines, exploring how climate change is impacting the industry, and how collectors can mitigate risks. * Classic Cars: Nick Baldelli-Boni delves into the intricacies of classic car investments, focusing on the rarity and long-term value of vintage Ferraris. * Pandemic Effects on Watch Collecting: Jasem Al Zeraei examines shifts in watch investing since the pandemic, highlighting trends in accessibility and liquidity.

The Rise of Luxury Watches as Investment Assets Luxury watches, particularly from brands like Patek Philippe and Rolex, have shown consistent market growth, driven by scarcity and craftsmanship. Dan Spitz, a third-generation master watchmaker, brings his deep expertise into the discussion, touching on the intricacies of restoring vintage pieces and the importance of maintenance. Jasem Al Zeraei adds to the conversation by explaining how social media and global watch communities have influenced collectors’ decisions.

For those interested in watches, it’s important to note that the market can be highly volatile. While top-tier watches are generally strong performers, lesser-known brands can provide surprising opportunities if buyers are knowledgeable about the product.

Investing in Fine Wine: Trends and Tips The wine investment market has become increasingly sophisticated, with factors such as rarity, vintage, and provenance playing critical roles. Brian Freedman’s analysis of fine wine trends highlights the challenges posed by climate change and the evolving preferences of global consumers. The discussion also touches on the importance of proper wine storage and avoiding counterfeit bottles.

Wine investors must consider professional ratings, provenance, and even the potential for long-term enjoyment. Diversifying your collection by investing in wines from emerging regions, such as South Africa, can offer untapped opportunities.

Classic Cars: Icons of Value and Culture Classic cars remain a favorite among collectors, not just for their aesthetics and history but also for their financial potential. Nick Baldelli-Boni explains how rarity and proper maintenance can drastically increase a car’s value over time, with vintage Ferraris leading the charge. He stresses the importance of passion in making these investments, as the energy and enthusiasm behind the purchase often translate into more informed and careful buying decisions.

Maintaining these vehicles is a key factor in preserving their value. Just like watches, proper care and servicing are essential for ensuring a vehicle’s long-term viability as an investment.

Risks to Consider in Passion Investing While luxury watches, fine wines, and classic cars offer attractive opportunities, they come with their own set of risks. In the case of watches, Dan Spitz warns of counterfeit parts and fake movements, an issue that is becoming more prevalent with advancements in technology. For wine collectors, the risks of counterfeit bottles and improper storage can easily erode the value of a collection. Classic car collectors must contend with rising maintenance costs and potential restoration challenges that can impact long-term returns.

Our panel emphasizes the importance of working with trusted experts, doing extensive due diligence, and considering the potential emotional satisfaction when making these investments. Diversification remains key; balancing passion with a clear-eyed investment strategy can help mitigate these risks.

Building a Balanced Portfolio Balancing passion-driven investments with traditional assets is a strategy that allows for both personal enjoyment and financial growth. Whether you’re starting with watches, wines, or cars, it’s critical to stay informed about market dynamics and trends. This episode offers valuable insights from collectors who have not only turned their passions into investments but have also gained a deeper understanding of how these collectibles can provide long-term value.

Insights from The Art and Science of Wine Tasting with Niccolò Baldelli-Boni, Josh McCallen and Jin Ahn. In Episode 3 of the Inspired Money Podcast's live stream series, "The Taste of Success," hosted by Andy Wang and produced by Bradley Jon Eaglefeather, a distinguished panel—Niccolò Baldelli-Boni, Josh McCallen, and Jin Ahn—shared their wisdom on the art and science of wine tasting. The segment, fittingly titled "The Art and Science of Wine Tasting," explored the complexities of sensory evaluation, wine characteristics, and the importance of group tasting.

Here are the key takeaways from this enlightening segment.

The Intricacies of Sensory Evaluation

Niccolò Baldelli-Boni, a seasoned wine enthusiast, emphasized the need for a comprehensive sensory evaluation when tasting wine. He pointed out that it's not just about sipping; it's about visual examination, olfactory evaluation, and taste analysis. These techniques help in discovering the wine's complexity and character.

The Olfactory Journey: From Flaw Detection to Complexity

Jin Ahn, a professional in the field, elaborated on the olfactory evaluation process. He highlighted the importance of first identifying any flaws in the wine, such as cork taint or oxidation. Once the wine passes this initial test, the focus shifts to its fruit profile, non-fruit characteristics, and overall complexity.

The Power of Group Tasting

Jin Ahn also emphasized the value of group tasting, especially with those more knowledgeable. He explained that group settings allow for comparative tasting, which is crucial for understanding the nuances between different wines, vintages, or vineyards. It's a collaborative learning experience that can significantly enhance your wine-tasting skills.

The Legacy of Renault Winery

Josh McCallen introduced us to the fascinating world of Renault Winery, the second oldest winery in America, surprisingly located in New Jersey. He shared the rich history of the winery, founded in the 1800s, and its unique terroir. This segment served as a reminder that the world of wine is vast and full of surprises, and that history and location often play a significant role in a wine's character.

Conclusion

The segment "The Art and Science of Wine Tasting" from Episode 3 of the Inspired Money Podcast's live stream series, "The Taste of Success," provided a rich tapestry of insights and perspectives. The conversation wasn't just about tasting; it was about doing so in a way that aligns with a deeper understanding and appreciation of wine. As you navigate the evolving landscape of wine tasting, let the wisdom of Niccolò Baldelli-Boni, Josh McCallen, and Jin Ahn be your guiding stars.

Singer songwriter H. Jack Williams talks about starting from humble beginnings, chasing his dream, and working with Academy Award winner Kevin Costner.

Guest Biography

You’d be hard-pressed to find a life, a career, or a body of work quite like that of singer/songwriter/performer/composer H. Jack Williams.

Jack himself credits equal parts luck, talent, and tenacity. “My whole life, I’ve gone out and gotten stuff done,” he says. “I think I have unique emotional connections within me, and I’ve always found a way to make that connection musically.” But for one of Nashville’s hardest-working songwriters and most in-demand co-writers – and now with flourishing work in film and television – it’s been a one-of-a-kind 40+ year ride with some of the biggest names in Folk, Rock, and Country. And in many ways, he’s just getting started.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Going straight to the person you want to work with… that often means going around gatekeepers.

Episode 250: Dr. John Demartini returns to discuss turning a crisis into an opportunity, good investing principles, and his views on cryptocurrency.

Guest Biography

Dr. John Demartini spent much of his childhood being told by his teachers, and even his parents, that he'd never amount to anything. After being constrained to arm and leg braces until he was four years old and living out his teenage years on the streets, Dr. Demartini chose to be liberated, rather than limited by his experiences.

Today after decades of extensive studying, he inspires others to do the same, traveling across the world and providing inspirational and practical advice to people across all disciplines and industries, helping them gain a better sense of self-awareness and empowerment.

“If we blame outer circumstances for why we are not empowered, we will hinder our empowerment. But if we start acting and doing the things that are proven to empower, we rise in power,” he says.

Dr. John Demartini is a world-renowned specialist in human behavior, a researcher, polyglot, author, and global educator is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on human behavior, leadership and entrepreneurialism. He has studied over 30,000 books across all the defined academic disciplines and is the founder of the Demartini Institute. He has authored more than 40 books on a wide range of topics such as corporate and financial empowerment, self-development, relationships, and social transformation.

He has appeared on Larry King Live and regularly contributes to Oprah Magazine.

Luckily, through a scary and sudden discovery of scoliosis, Katie was informed she had to stop partaking in all impact activities. Frustrated with the need to move her body, her doctor recommended Yoga – An unexpected turn into what is now the origin story of her career in health and fitness. She fell in love with how Yoga empowered her to find love and strength within herself, discovering and teaching various forms of it. Her energy quickly translated into her classes, deviating them from your standard practices and making them the most sought-after in San Diego.

Her magnetic energy quickly caught the attention of Dr. Michael Wasilisin, creator of MoveU, who insisted she shares her talents with the world.

Dancer and singer, Etty Lau Farrell, talks about being an artist, feeling like an outcast, and recovering from dark financial days.

Guest Biography

Etty Lau Farrell, vocalist for the band Satellite Party and lead singer-dancer for Kind Heaven Orchestra has made her first debut as a solo artist with the single ‘He’s A Rebel’– available today on all digital streaming platforms. Produced by her legendary husband, Perry Farrell, the godfather of alternative rock as co-founder of Jane’s Addiction and Porno for Pyros, this song pays tribute as a cover by iconic 60’s trio, The Crystals.

A Billboard #1 chart topper in 1962, the musical piece touches base on a well-revived classic love-story trope–the bad, socially rebellious boy, and the lovestruck, innocent good girl. The tune of the song begins with a dramatic twist, incorporating a rhythmic, 70’s beat to the original melody and leads listeners into the tantalizing strums of the guitar to make itself known, as Etty's heavenly voice begins to belt out the heart-warming lyrics. Transported to another world filled with romance, desire, and hypnotic instrumentals, the astoundingly constructed symphony of musical elements and ethereal vocals highlight the unmistakable talent of this emerging songstress. Although the unknown rebel The Crystals sang of remained elusive, Etty’s tune taps into her love of Perry and their together.

Throughout her long and fruitful musical career, Etty has accumulated a multitude of hit songs with Satellite Party and Kind Heaven Orchestra, including ‘Wishing On a Dog Star,’ ‘Machine Girl,’ ‘Hard Life Easy,’ and ‘Woman in the Window’. Working alongside her husband, the duo have made a name for themselves outside of their individual music careers in the festival industry with his flagship event, Lollapalooza. Lately, Etty has been working tirelessly on their newest project, a nightlife concert series, Heaven After Dark; launched in Los Angeles on February 17th. With a growing following across her social media platforms expressing her own identity,, Etty’s charismatic, mischievous, and fascinating life has captured the hearts of her audience and amplified the excitement for this musical release.

Episode 235: Michael Cruz, Head of Content at Summer Friday, talks about what brands and consumers need to know about Web 3.0 and the metaverse.

Guest Biography

From strategy to execution, Michael is committed to delivering successful content for brands across all industries. He began his career in college as a director-editor, freelancing for the World Series of Poker and AOL Time Warner. After graduating, he became an editor at Grey; there, he met producer Rob Simone, and together they began a long and successful entrepreneurial journey.

Realizing that traditional marketing conventions were crumbling and content was just finding its footing, Michael and Rob broke from the traditional agency world in 2006. They founded the content agency Hiccup, which established a complete script-to-screen publishing model. This innovative approach attracted the attention of brands like Procter & Gamble, E*TRADE, Eli Lilly, and others.

After scaling and diversifying the business, Hiccup merged with full-service marketing agency DRUM in 2015. Michael became Chief Content Officer and Creative Director. His experience in both directing and editing led to full campaign and creative development for massive brands like E*TRADE, Sony, P&G, Thomson Reuters, Pfizer, and The Wall Street Journal, just to name a few.

In 2020, Michael and Rob co-founded Summer Friday, a strategy, creative, and content boutique that thrives at the intersection of big ideas and nimble execution. As Head of Content, Michael’s ability to cross verticals and deliver effective, relevant, and engaging content is truly unique and makes him essential in providing insight throughout the planning process, from strategy to execution.

When he’s not immersed in marketing, he’s either in the air piloting a Cessna, riding his 1972 vintage Triumph Bonneville, learning a new language, or off meditating. His creative has won multiple awards, but more importantly, it has and continues to satisfy client objectives.

Episode 219 Professional investor and business mentor, Mariko Gordon talks about money, investing, and business.

Guest Biography

Mariko Gordon built a $2.5B money management firm from scratch, flying her freak flag high. It had a weird name, a non-Wall Street culture, and a quirky communication style.

In 1995, when Mariko founded Daruma, only a handful of women of color owned their firms. She had to noodle out how to run a business while daily duking it out with Mr. Market and raising a family.

Today she mentors women who want to start a business, turn their side hustle into their living, better manage their finances, or work through a tricky patch in life or business.

She is also a poet, hypnotist, life coach, hula dancer, and Treasurer on the Board of the Asian American Writers’ Workshop.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Investing insights from a professional portfolio manager
• How to invest like a girl and beat the pants off the guys
• Burnout and why Mariko closed her business

Episode 216 Catfish host Nev Schulman shares tips for protecting yourself against online scams.

Guest Biography

In a world where everyone is constantly connected digitally, social media has made communicating easier but this digital world might also complicate relationships. According to MTV “Millenials” 18-24 years old, 1 in 4 has online dated, 1 in 2 has “a friend” who does it and, in the past three years, traffic to top 10 online dating sites has tripled. Now hear from the star and host of MTV’s hit series CATFISH: THE TV SHOW, Nev Schulman, about his experiences and perspectives on this evolving medium.

Following the success of Rogue Pictures and Relativity Media’s critically acclaimed 2010 documentary-thriller CATFISH, MTV’s new hit series CATFISH: THE TV SHOW tackles the mystery and complexities of dating in a digital world. The series follows host, Nev Schulman, whose own online love drama was the subject of the “Catfish” film, as he takes viewers on a deeply personal journey that goes inside the stories of young people as their online-only romantic relationships collide with first-time, real-life encounters.

In late 2007, filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost sensed a story unfolding as they began to film the life of Ariel’s brother, Nev. They had no idea that their project would lead to the most exhilarating and unsettling months of their lives. A reality thriller that is a shocking product of our times, Catfish is a riveting story of love, deception and grace within a labyrinth of online intrigue. The film was produced by academy award nominated filmmaker, Andrew Jarecki and was executive produced by Brett Ratner.

Prior to CATFISH, Schulman was a New York City photographer and filmmaker, and the youngest member of Supermarché. His photography has appeared in magazines and newspapers such as Vogue, The New York Times, Lucky, New York magazine, the New York Sun and Dance Magazine. He now resides in Los Angeles.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What it means to be catfished
• Scams to look out for and how to protect yourself
• And tune in until the end for A tip from Nev about growing your career and achievements.

The Serhant Team has been named by WSJ Real Trends as the #1 real estate team in New York for two years in a row, and the #2 team in the country, selling close to $1 billion in real estate last year. Ryan is consistently the youngest broker to make the Journal’s top ten list each year.

Ryan stars in the popular Bravo series “Million Dollar Listing New York,” which just wrapped its seventh season. On September 18, 2018 – the week of his 10-year anniversary in real estate – he released his debut book, Sell It Like Serhant. When pre-sales were announced, Ryan was #1 on Amazon’s daily list of “Movers and Shakers.” As star and producer, this year he also debuted his new Bravo show, "Sell It Like Serhant," started a successful vlog (www.youtube.com/ryanserhant) and launched an app (Agent Empire: NYC). There is nothing Ryan can't do. His motto communicates his professional and personal philosophy, "Expansion. Always. In all ways."

Derek gives us unique perspectives on wealth and success. He has a cool and unique background as a musician, successful entrepreneur, and happy minimalist.

Episode 142: Author and entrepreneur, Derek Sivers describes his approach to living wealthy and happily whether earning a little or a lot.

Guest Biography

Derek Sivers is an American writer, musician, programmer and entrepreneur best known for being the founder and former president of CD Baby. More than anything, he wants to make lots of stuff. Derek enjoys working alone for 12 hours a day/6 days a week in his pursuit of making articles, books, websites, music, companies, systems, apps, and especially new ideas.

He is known for saying no to almost everything so he can have lots of time for making. At the age of 14, Derek decided to be a successful musician. He was single-focused obsessed on this from the age of 14 to 29, waking up early to practice, staying up late to write, saying no to all distractions, and reading whatever he could to improve. At age 29, Derek "accidentally" started the company CD Baby that helped his musician friends sell CDs online which eventually became the largest seller of independent music on the Internet. In 2008, he sold the company; and as 100 percent owner, he utilized a strategy to donate the proceeds of $22 million to charity.

Derek continues to learn lots of stuff, especially different approaches to thinking and living. He finds inspiration in reading non-fiction, living in many places around the world, and cutting out most things that most normal people do — like hanging out, watching TV, and partying.

His writing, thoughts, and book notes can be found at www.sivers.org.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The difference between living a highly focused life vs making time to ponder and think.
• Interesting thoughts on money, wealth, and defining what's enough.
• Great book recommendations on the topic of money.

Episode 201 Celebrity trainer Ngo Okafor shares how physical fitness has led to a fuller and happier life that includes modeling, boxing, and entrepreneurship.

Guest Biography

Part machine, but all heart, Ngo Okafor is a fitness expert and the owner/founder of Iconoclast Fitness Studio, the gym where quick, dramatic body transformations happen, using Ngo’s tested and proven training system, that has dramatically transformed dozens of clients, including A-list celebrities. Ngo’s offers results in 7, 14 and 28 day training durations. Ngo is also a father and philanthropist.

After a childhood spent bedridden in Nigeria, he moved to the United States to study computer science at the University of Connecticut. Never one to shy away from hard work (he had his mother photocopy class notes when he was confined to the hospital, so he could keep up with his schoolwork), he took up boxing at the relatively advanced age of 31 — and proceeded to win two back-to-back Golden Gloves Championship, two years in a row.

Using the same laser-like focus, Ngo built his personal training business into a model that others would envy, picking up accolades such as being named one of New York’s “hottest trainers whipping beautiful people into shape” by the New York Post. Nike has also taken notice, signing Ngo as a chapter leader for its NIKE+NYC Training Program. Ngo has worked with bold-facers such as Jennifer Lopez, Naomi Campbell, Chanel Iman, and fashion designer Marissa Webb.

Ngo is frequently quoted as a fitness expert in publications as varied as Elle, Glamour, O-The Oprah Magazine, Men’s Health, and is often a guest on television programs like Good Day New York on Fox 5. He’s earned this loyal following by espousing a fitness belief that the mind is the most important muscle a person needs to develop. “I believe that the body is a slave to our minds and will do anything we tell it to do”. Ngo further says “when I decided to enter the Golden Gloves tournament at the age of 31, my friends laughed at me, people in the boxing gym laughed at me, but I believed in myself. None of them are laughing now.”

However, the country of his heritage never left his heart. When he’s not in the gym, Ngo works with the non-profit he founded, Champion Spirit Foundation, which provides facilities in Nigeria where children can exercise and learn to box, free of charge, in an effort to raise their self-esteem.

As if all that weren’t enough, Ngo’s stature and physique has made him a sought after model and actor, appearing alongside the likes of Gisele Bundchen, Mary J. Blige, and Lil’ Kim in magazines such as Vogue, W, V, and WSJ. He recently appeared in the movie, “True Story”, with Jonah Hill and James Franco. Most importantly, he also makes time to get to the local park with his wife and young son.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Doing what makes your soul happy
• Life lessons from a 2x Golden Glove boxing champion.
• How Ngo strives to outwork everyone… and even get less sleep so he can do more.

Upon ending the show (November 2019) and her two short years of marriage (Jan 2020), the world shut down due to the Coronavirus pandemic, giving Katie the time and space to look inward and focus on herself.

Always fascinated with technology, cryptocurrency, and newly emerging NFT’s, Katie decided to bring her idea of ME. SHE.

Episode 190: Vinovest Co-Founder & CEO talks about quitting college to launch venture-backed companies, his spinal cord injury, and building a platform to invest in wine.

Guest Biography

Anthony Zhang is only 25 but has already successfully built and sold two companies, secured funding from Mark Cuban and Mark Burnett, and received a Thiel fellowship grant. Not only that, but he has worked hard to come back from a devastating accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. The Los Angeles Business Journal recently described him as “the epitome of a dogged entrepreneur.”

Anthony is now the founder and CEO of his third company: Vinovest, a platform that has been described as “the Robinhood of wine investing” and is making it easier for more people to access this wealth-building asset class. Fine wine enjoys low correlation with global equities markets, and has largely outperformed the S&P 500 over the past four decades, which makes it an ideal shelter in times of volatility. However, a number of factors have made this lucrative asset class largely inaccessible to the average retail investor— high account minimums, a lack of wine expertise, concerns about fraud, and the excessive costs associated with storing and insuring wine. Vinovest is helping investors to overcome these barriers to entry, and is democratizing access to fine wine investing.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What it was like pitching Mark Cuban and Mark Burnett as a college student.
• Different motivations for starting companies from food delivery to rating VCs.
• Why Anthony wants to bring wine investing to everyone and believes it's an alternative asset class worth considering.

Episode 184: Dr. John Demartini, international best-selling author, human behavior expert, educator, consultant, and founder of the Demartini Institute, talks about money, wealth, and gratitude.

Guest Biography

Dr. John Demartini spent much of his childhood being told by his teachers, and even his parents, that he'd never amount to anything. After being constrained to arm and leg braces until he was four years old and living out his teenage years on the streets, Dr. Demartini chose to be liberated, rather than limited by his experiences.

Today after decades of extensive studying, he inspires others to do the same, traveling across the world and providing inspirational and practical advice to people across all disciplines and industries, helping them gain a better sense of self-awareness and empowerment.

“If we blame outer circumstances for why we are not empowered, we will hinder our empowerment. But if we start acting and doing the things that are proven to empower, we rise in power,” he says.

Dr. John Demartini is a world-renowned specialist in human behavior, a researcher, polyglot, author, and global educator is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on human behavior, leadership and entrepreneurialism. He has studied over 30,000 books across all the defined academic disciplines and is the founder of the Demartini Institute. He has authored more than 40 books on a wide range of topics such as corporate and financial empowerment, self-development, relationships, and social transformation.

He has appeared on Larry King Live and regularly contributes to the Oprah Magazine.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How to guide kids to find their purpose.
• Why purpose combined with serving others is a powerful thing.
• The importance of gratitude in defining being rich or wealthy.

Episode 175: An entrepreneur since age 15, Alex Hodara tells us why he created Rocket Club to teach 7 to 14-year old students robotics, coding, and entrepreneurship.

Guest Biography

Entrepreneur Alex Hodara is the owner of Hodara Real Estate Group, an investment and development company he founded as a brokerage in 2008. Hodara launched the venture during his junior year at Boston University, hiring 15 of his classmates and launching what CNBC coined as “America’s first student run real estate brokerage.” Upon graduation with his B.B.A. from the distinguished Questrom School of Business, the success of Hodara’s firm landed him on Forbes’ “30 Under 30” and Bloomberg Businessweek’s “Best Young Entrepreneurs” lists. Hodara bought, renovated, and rented his first building in 2011, and today owns 200 multifamily units between Boston and Jersey City, just outside of Manhattan.

In 2018 Hodara sponsored a STEM competition at Westfield High School in New Jersey. Inspired by the student’s brilliant engineering ideas and desire for elevated entrepreneurial support, he developed Rocket Club, an award winning, selffinanced robotics, coding and entrepreneurship club for kids. Hodara officially launched this passion project in February 2019 in Hoboken, New Jersey and word spread fast; with new locations popping up in Montclair, NJ, Upper West Side New York, Lower Manhattan, The British International School of NYC, and a free program in Newark, NJ during the first year of operation. Rocket Club went on to win the 2019 NJ Tech Council’s Innovation and Education Award, and STEM Leader to Watch Award. Each location was near capacity when COVID-19 hit the world, in March 2020. Hodara and the Rocket Club team quickly pivoted to a fully virtual model, providing free education to members through the fall of 2020. In the process, enrollment soared as parents sought out additional resources for their children who were distance learning. Rocket Club’s virtual curriculum is four semesters, and teaches members to develop their own businesses, learn Python coding, and build robotics. Each day, Rocket Club hosts Rocket Club Live, an interactive, educational game show and Q&A featuring a successful guest. Guests have included the founders of Netflix, Beyond Meat, Casper Mattresses, Harry’s Razors, Vonage, and Bobbi Brown Cosmetics to name a few.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• We get a glimpse into the entrepreneur’s mind.
• Building a curriculum designed to expose kids to as much as possible to inspire and help them decide what they want to be when they’re older.
• How Alex is investing his own money to cultivate entrepreneurs of the future.

Wanda He and Eric Yu both work in big tech; but after a weekend life-planning retreat, they set a goal of making $30k per month quasi-passively by 2030.

Guest Biography

Wanda is currently an Associate Product Marketing Manager at Google & Eric is an Android Engineer on the Instagram Stories team. As a couple, they’re working together to generate $30k per month by 2030 in alternate income streams (mostly passive).

2 months ago, they decided to do a weekend life planning retreat to understand where they wanted to be 10 years from now. During that retreat, it became increasingly clear that family is #1. To enable a lifestyle where they wouldn’t have to trade off family against work, Wanda and Eric realized that they needed income outside of their 9-5 jobs. During that weekend, they brainstormed all the ways they could start building out additional income streams.

Over the last 2 months, they’ve executed on their vision by:

• Buying a house and remodeling it
• Designing the house specifically for AirBNB
• Making over 2x the mortgage in their first month on AirBNB while living in the guest house out back (completely eliminating their rent costs)
