    Michael Dillard on Wealth, Family, and Leaving a Legacy That Lasts | S8G7
    2026/08/29

    The money conversation your parents never had with you — and how to make sure you have it with your kids.

    In this powerful episode of The No Fruit Podcast, Maurice and Kafi sit down with Michael Dillard — financial educator, tax strategist, U.S. Army veteran, former U.S. Foreign Service Officer, and author of Build Generational Wealth – Retire Early — for a conversation that every parent, every couple, and every family building for the future absolutely needs to hear. Michael grew up in Clarksville, Tennessee, in a single-parent home from age 7, living on food stamps with no financial roadmap, no inheritance, and no one to teach him what money really was. Today, he holds an MBA in Personal Finance, a Master's in Accounting, and 19 years of global service across six countries — and he has devoted his life to making sure the financial ignorance that once trapped his family never traps yours.

    In this episode, you'll discover:
    • What childhood poverty taught Michael about money — and what it got wrong
    • Age-by-age financial literacy: what to teach your kids and when
    • Why parent financial unity is essential to raising financially confident children
    • How the S.A.V.E.R. Method™ gives families a practical wealth-building framework
    • The limiting beliefs keeping most families financially stuck — and how to break them
    • What generational wealth looks like for faith-centered families beyond the dollars
    This episode will challenge you, equip you, and inspire you to start building something that outlasts you.

    What No One Told Me About Marriage S8|E21
    2026/08/21
    Maurice reflects on the realities of marriage that no one tells you about before you say “I do.” By sharing personal stories of late-night cravings and the strain of juggling school and work, he sheds light on the quiet sacrifices required to build a strong home.

    Chapter Summary:

    00:00:00 Introduction to Part 2
    00:01:26 Defining Sacrifice in Marriage
    00:05:22 Navigating Challenges and Balancing Goals
    00:09:43 Responsibility and Understanding Communication

    Featured Quotes:
    “A sacrifice is the act of giving up of something of high value.” — Maurice
    “It’s not our time; it’s God’s time.” — Maurice

He highlights how the arrival of children and the natural ebbs and flows of a relationship demand a shift in perspective, requiring both partners to prioritize the collective goal over individual desires.

    04:04 Redefining Responsibility in Marriage
    08:18 Navigating Challenges and Maintaining Relationships

    • “Instead of asking whether this young lady that you’re trying to marry is wifey material, I really would like for you to seriously consider whether you are prepared to be the husband.” — Maurice
    • “It’s one thing to pay somebody to do that, but what I understood later on was that my wife really enjoyed me doing that work myself.” — Maurice
    • “What is it that… you see a problem or a situation, you know, right now, today, that needs to be patched up between you and your potential person?” — Maurice

  • What If This Is the Season That Changes Everything? with Doug Fleener | S8G6

    What If This Is the Season That Changes Everything? with Doug Fleener | S8G6
    2026/04/25
    What does an unfruitful season actually look like — and what do you do when you're in one?

    In this powerful episode of The No Fruit Podcast, Maurice and Kafi meet with author, coach, and speaker Doug Fleener — creator of "The What If Rule" and author of "Start With What If" — for an honest, transformational conversation about the seasons in marriage and family life when nothing seems to be growing.

    Doug knows this terrain personally. Before the bestselling books, the national speaking stages, and the CEO corner office, he walked through one of the most unfruitful seasons a person can face — addiction that nearly cost him everything. His recovery didn't just restore his life; it gave him a framework for change that now helps couples, parents, and leaders break through the patterns, perspectives, and limiting beliefs keeping them stuck.

    In this episode, you'll discover:
    • The quiet signs that a marriage or family has stopped bearing fruit
    • How personal unfruitfulness always affects relational health
    • Why small daily choices compound into either fruitfulness or barrenness
    • How to apply The What If Rule directly to your marriage and family life
    • What transformation actually looks like on the other side of a hard season
    Whether you're deep in a dry season or just feeling the first hints of disconnect — this conversation was made for you.
