    2025/07/28

    Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money.

    Let’s face it—keeping your money safe these days feels a bit like guarding a cookie jar in a room full of toddlers hopped up on sugar. We’ve heard the horror stories: from people who clicked one “urgent” email and ended up buying a broken-down lawnmower in Latvia, to those who thought “123456” was a solid password choice (spoiler: it’s not). Hackers and scammers are out there, lurking behind fake login screens and suspicious phone calls, just waiting to turn your savings into their vacation fund. But don’t panic!

    On this week’s episode, we’re handing out some simple—and seriously effective—tips to help you keep your accounts safer than a pork sandwich at a vegan barbecue.

    Show Highlights Include:

    • They Scammed My Grandma! (00:45)

    • Credit Cards Over Debt Cards (4:30)

    • Don't Use All The Same Passwords (8:15)

    2025/07/21

    Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money.

    Picking a financial advisor shouldn’t feel like a blind date with your retirement on the line—but for many people, it kind of does. You sit across the table, nodding along as they throw around words like “diversification” and “risk tolerance,” while you silently wonder if they actually get you—or if they just really like spreadsheets. The truth is, a good financial advisor should be asking the right questions, not just selling you a cookie-cutter plan.

    On this week’s episode, we’ll help you figure out if your advisor is The One (financially speaking) by giving you six questions they should be asking—because if they’re not, it might be time to swipe left.

    • Communication With Your Advisor (5:30)

    • Can You Tell Me About Yourself (7:15)

    • Talking About Your Pain Point (9:00)

  • Winners And Losers Of The Big Beautiful Bill
    2025/07/14

    Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money.

    President Trump has just unveiled his latest legislative masterpiece: the One Big Beautiful Bill™ — a bill so long, so dense, and so packed with random capitalized words, it makes War and Peace look like a tweet. Clocking in at roughly the length of the Old Testament and the weight of a small child when printed, this bill covers everything from taxes to TikTok to toaster regulations. No one—not lawmakers, not analysts, not even Trump himself—has actually read the whole thing. But don’t worry, we did the heavy lifting so you don’t have to (you're welcome).

    On this week’s episode, we’re walking through some key highlights of the bill that we think everyone should know, and breaking down who’s coming out ahead and who’s being left behind.

    Show Highlights Include:

    • Status Of 2017 Tax Bill (6:00)

    • Temporary Cuts (7:15)

    • Clean Energy Debate (14:00)

    • Raising the Debt Ceiling Again? (19:45)

    • Some Winners and Losers (22:45)

  • Why Do Financial Advisors Hate Cryptocurrency?
    2025/06/16

    Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money.

    If you’ve ever watched a financial advisor talk about cryptocurrency, you may have noticed a twitch in their left eye and a mysterious increase in blood pressure. It's not an allergy—unless you count allergic reactions to volatility, memes, and 22-year-olds getting rich off dog coins. For the average advisor, crypto represents everything they’ve warned you about in PowerPoint presentations: unregulated, unpredictable, and entirely too influenced by Elon Musk’s Twitter account.

    So, buckle up, because on this episode we dive into why that big vein bulges on the foreheads of financial advisors every time someone says, “Should I invest in Bitcoin?”

    Show Highlights Include:

    • Who’s Buying Crypto (5:00)

    • We Don’t Like High Volatility (11:00)

    • Everyone's Talking About XRP (14:30)

    • Unproven Track Record Scares Us (17:30)

    • We Like Security (21:45)

  • How To Talk To Your Kids About Money
    2025/06/09

    Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money.

    Let’s face it—kids think money grows on trees, lives in your wallet, and magically appears every time you swipe a card. To them, an ATM is just a vending machine for grown-ups. “Why can’t you just go get more money?” they ask with the financial wisdom of a goldfish. And for most parents, talking to their children about money is about as fun as getting a root canal in the middle of an insurance seminar.

    But here’s the thing: if we don’t teach our kids about money, the world will—and the world charges interest. Whether you like it or not you’re probably overdue for The Talk. No, not that talk. The other dreaded, awkward one: the Money Talk. But fear not!

    On this episode, we're here to help you turn awkward money convos into fun, empowering lessons with five practical (and sanity-saving) tips to help you teach your kids about money.

    Show Highlights Include:

    • Teens Want To Be Taught (1:45)

    • Meet Them Where They Are (5:00)

    • Teach With Chores (6:30)

    • Values Over Figures (11:00)

    • Learning While Bonding (16:30)
