I’m joined by one of my good friends Kacia Ghetmiri to discuss everything from overcoming the fear of being a beginner to the importance of investing in yourself straight out of the gate.

Both Kacia and her husband have gone through my Elite Mastermind and I couldn’t be more proud of the absolute powerhouse couple that they’ve become. In our conversation, Kacia and I discus...

I just got back from one of the most amazing hotel stays that I’ve ever experienced, and it got me thinking about how to justify charging more for your services. If you want to raise your prices and have people excited to pay that premium, then you need to act and deliver like a five-star service. I share what I learned about the hiring process at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts that sets them apart and how they empower their staff to go above and beyond for guests. Plus, I illustrate how you ca...

Just like your investment portfolio, you want your friend group to be diverse. At this stage in our lives, Lori and I have realized that success doesn’t just mean being financially free.

We feel so lucky to have the network that we do, and we’ve gotten here by intentionally collecting people, celebrating what they bring to the table, and being actively involved in each other's lives.

Lori just got back from a life-changing trip with two women that she formed a mini mastermind group with, and we wanted to break down how you can do the same.

The billionaires and business legends of the world have one thing in common: they have impossible-sized dreams that lead to their incredible wealth. Lori and I have always been unapologetically big dreamers and I truly believe that’s a huge reason behind our financial success. Where I see most people get stuck is that they limit their vision to what their current financial situation convinces them that they can achieve. I’m sharing how you can get out of that mindset and step into a self-empower...

Lori just got back from the Powerhouse Women event and it was amazing. She had so many moments where she had tears in her eyes watching others rise and be the person that they came here to be. One speaker stood out to her with something she said, so she came home and immediately shared it with me, which inspired us to talk about it in today’s episode. Jasmine Star blew her mind when she said “Overwhelm is the abundance of everything you ever wished and prayed for coming in all at once.” IN THIS ...

Today I got to chat with my good friend, Mel Abraham. Mel is a CPA by trade, but really at the core, he's an entrepreneur. You rarely get people who have the technical mind of a CPA, but also the entrepreneurial mind that wants to create things and build things — that's exactly how Mel is created. He has a unique insight for us on not how to just earn and save money, but what we should be doing with the money that we're earning.

I had an awesome conversation this past week with somebody who wants to start a business. They're new to starting and owning a business and so of course, they picked my brain and I was more than happy to have this conversation with them. They were shocked at how much it costs you to attain or earn a customer, and they were shocked at how much it is going to cost for them to get their business up and going in the first place. As I shared with them, I want to share with you that there are always t...

This week I chatted with my personal trainer at the local gym here by the lake house about career options and money. He expressed that he would love to find a way to make more money than he does right now and that he's been tempted to pursue other jobs. The other jobs he spoke of were unrelated to his area of expertise or anything that he would enjoy doing, but he was thinking about them purely because they pay more. I shared with him that there are two truths about making money and I want to sh...

For years Lori and I were yes people, and for years we have watched others “yes” themselves to death. Now, we practice not just saying no to things that do not serve our greater vision and purpose, but going beyond that and letting it be okay if we disappoint people by saying no. We have consistently learned from others who have beautiful boundaries to protect and who have thrived by doing so. When you say yes to everything, you water down your message. When you constantly say yes, you take your...

This week, I received a magazine from the Wisconsin Maritime Museum celebrating raising 9.5 million dollars to build a tower that houses all sorts of displays for the museum. This just happens to be the tower that my Dad designed and created when he was the President and Chairman of the Board. Until my Dad took that President's seat it was nothing more than a wish and he turned it into a reality. I started reading the names of the donors and I realized that my community had donated a ton of mone...

This week I travelled to Denver to teach at Fast Foundations Mastermind . I planned to spend the lesson debunking the recent article I shared that said people are more afraid of a recession than ever before. To kick things off, I prompted the students to rate their confidence levels of their business succeeding. Their answers threw me a curve ball in the best way. They were all extremely confident people. The reason? Community. They knew they were surrounded by motivated people, therefore, they ...

Lori and I have been loving our summer here at our lake house in Wisconsin, but when we envisioned our time here, we didn’t take into account some of the extra responsibilities that go into making this dream a reality.

The Law of Diminishing Expenses is pretty straightforward: the richer you become, the less expensive everyday things seem to you. All of the sudden, the daily requirements to live your life, like gas in your car and dinner on the table no longer become a prohibitive expense in your mission to become wealthy. In order to get there, you need to build a budget and have multiple streams of income so that if any one of them went away, you wouldn’t have to change your lifestyle tomorrow. Tune in to he...

We all have fears, but how can you use them to propel you forward instead of hold you back?

Lori and I discuss what fears really drive us, and how we use that to stay focused without letting it overwhelm us.
