Episode #39 — Bernie Garrah: How to Win With Your Money in 2026

In this episode of Love in the Land, Austin Love sits down with Bernie Garrah, Principal and Wealth Advisor at Tempo Wealth, for a grounded, real-world conversation about money, freedom, and how to think differently about your finances in 2026.

With nearly 30 years in financial planning and wealth management, Bernie shares what he’s learned building a career and a life, around fully integrated financial planning with a family-office mindset. From making just $8,000 a year early on to betting on himself with an “eat what you kill” mentality, Bernie breaks down the realities of entrepreneurship, delayed gratification, and why financial independence often comes at a cost before it becomes a benefit.

This episode explores:

• Why money is one of the most important tools in our lives — yet rarely taught properly

• How to rethink your relationship with money, not just your investments

• Key financial trends and mindset shifts to pay attention to in 2026

• The freedom (and pressure) that comes with being your own boss

• Long-term thinking vs. short-term wins when building real wealth

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, high-earner, or someone who feels successful on paper but uncertain financially, this conversation will help you zoom out, gain perspective, and start positioning your money with more intention.
