Today I talk about what I think love is. What is unconditional love? What does it mean to love ourselves and why is that important? Is there anything we can do to remove our worthiness of being loved?

I’m still here! It’s been months since I posted an episode. I feel like so much has happened since my last episode. A lot of growth and introspection. I suddenly felt like it was time to record my thoughts this morning and I just started recording right then. I see this podcast evolving a bit from its original vision - but not entirely.

I want to start focusing on a more holistic approach to living life to its fullest and seizing the day beyond just financial success. Building wealth will likely still have a place in the mix, but I want to focus on improving my/our mental game and how we approach life, work, family, friends, and the time we spend with our own mind.

I hope you enjoy where this goes next! I’m not sure myself, but I love having a place to pour out my thoughts, and having a place to put my thoughts engages my mind to start looking around for new things to think and talk about.

Have you ever been so overwhelmed by something big, that you never even take the first step? Or maybe you waited way longer than necessary to get started?

That is how I felt before ever buying my first house. It all seemed too complex and impossible to even approach. The truth is, buying a house or refinancing a mortgage is a big and complex process, but I have learned that working with the right people makes it feel simple. That is where today's guest Dylan Tucker comes in. Working with people that understand the complexities of things like the mortgage application process is key to keeping your sanity and also getting the most desirable results.

This truth goes beyond just mortgages. If there is something big we need to do, but many people need to do it, then I guarantee there are resources out there to guide you through it. So get started! Move forward with confidence! You can do it!

Dylan is my personal Loan Officer/broker. Today we talk about how to prepare and approach the mortgage loan pre-approval and application process for first-time home buyers, or those looking to refinance. You can learn more about Dylan at https://www.communitylendinggroup.com/our-team/dylan-tucker/ or you can email him at dylan@communitylendinggroup.com. I hope you enjoy the episode!

We don't have to look far to find lessons in the world around us.

My guest Kurtis Hanni specifically finds financial lessons in the world around him. In his podcast "Delve Into Money", he specifically reads non-financial books and finds ways to apply the lessons learned to money and finances. We had such a great conversation around what it takes to set ourselves up for success and how to not get discouraged when we inevitably make mistakes (because mistakes are truly bound to happen). I really love his perspective on life and how he thinks and talks about these important principles. I know you are gonna enjoy it!

Learn more about Kurtis and his podcast by visiting delveintomoney.com

Two books he brings up are "The Psycology of Money" by Morgan Housel and "Tiny Habits" by BJ Fogg

My guest today is the highly inspiring Howard Dekkers! Howard is the founder of the Howard Dekkers School of Success which can be found by visiting www.HowardDekkers.com. Howard is currently traveling the country in his RV with the sole purpose of spreading education about how to become financially free.

He didn't start really focusing on building wealth until he was in his late 30s. If you have listened to very many of my episodes, you probably know why that caught my attention! He has come up with a system that just works. You don't have to own your own business or make a huge salary to retire with wealth and live your best life. It really comes down to understanding how investing works, making a plan, and executing on it. That is where Howard's course comes in. He has broken down a path to understanding and building a plan. You can learn more about his message and even try his free 30-minute intro course at his website. Let's get moving! I hope you enjoy the interview. I know I did!

My guest today is an example of success in many areas we would measure it by. Nicole Bremner is a investor, podcaster (The Nicole Bremner Podcast), author, and speaker (among many other things!).

She grew up quite poor in Australia, but found herself highly successful in her early 20s making six figures in the banking industry, but not yet having the skills and understanding in how to manage her money. She is very passionate about teaching her children money management skills from an early age, so they will not find themselves in a similar situation. This is something I am also very passionate about as well.

You can learn more about her at nicolebremner.com. I hope you enjoy the show!

I found myself explaining the concept of investing and passive income to my 8-year-old as a way to get him excited to do his jobs to earn money towards his "payday" on Saturday.

He doesn't feel the need to do his jobs since he already has some money. I'm trying to help him understand that if he keeps drinking water from a cup without adding more water, it will eventually be an empty cup. I then tried to help him understand the idea of making more than we spend so our money is growing rather than shrinking. That of course leads to the idea of taking our excess and investing it and having it grow while we sleep. I compared each of his invested dollars as being individual workers that are building more money for him. He then asked me how many "workers" he has in the stock market. He then wanted to know how many I have. I gave him a general answer of "thousands" compared to his roughly 200 workers to give him an idea of the possibilities. This may not have made a dent in his 8-year-old brain, but it sure got ME excited to get more dollar bills employed in the labor of makine me more passive income! I need to start taking more action and executing some of the ideas I have been thinking about! Let's get those dollars working for us!

This episode came at a very good time for me. I recorded it back in June and as I edited it today I realized how much I needed to hear what my guest Ron Aguilar (from Utah Valley Videos) had to say about building a business and also what to do when you find yourself burning the candle at both ends. I have been feeling very overwhelmed with all the things I have been taking on and have been reassessing my life and looking to establish more balance. Do I want to keep my side business going? Do I want to keep doing this podcast? All of these things are good things, but I'm questioning if trying to do it all is starting to catch up and affect my life in ways that I'm not super happy with. Ron is so awesome, and an inspiration. I hope you enjoy the conversation!
