This one hits where it hurts: the living room. We dig into how money actually moves in multi-generational, first-gen Hispanic households during the holidays when everyone has an opinion and nobody wants to say the quiet part out loud. Daniela Molina joins me to cut through the noise with straight talk on culture, pressure, and breaking money taboos. We start with reality. Different generations carry different money scripts, and when the saver, the spender, and the “I don’t even know” al...

This is your leverage window. Q4 is when companies lock budgets, finalize promotions, set equity, and protect retention risk. Translation: decisions are being made about you—often without you. If you stay quiet, you’re already behind. In this episode, Dr. Renee Baker joins me to dismantle the myths and give you a real plan to negotiate raises, titles, and equity without begging or breaking. We tear into the fear narrative—layoffs, headlines, “be grateful and wait your turn.” Gratitude without...

Q4 exposes the truth. Some of you are sprinting. Some of you are stuck in chaos. Either way, the calendar isn’t a magic wand—and the holidays won’t save sloppy execution. We go straight at that. Matt Halloran joins me to break down why year-end pressure is mostly a head game and how to turn the next 90 days into an authority sprint that actually converts. Authority beats volume. Every time. We talk the path from apprentice → expert → authority → celebrity, and why the crossing point is ...

We get straight to it. No fluff. No sales pitch. Just the truth. We break down why alts are finally everywhere—regulatory changes, active ETFs, and the rise of interval fund...

Money feels heavy right now. Prices are loud, headlines are louder, and everyone’s telling you to either hoard cash or gamble big. I’m not interested in either. I brought back Dr. Preston Cherry, CFP to cut through the noise and help you build financial harmony you can actually live with. We start by telling the truth: money isn’t just a tool.

We get practical, we get specific, and we stay honest about what it takes to walk away with your sanity and a plan. We tackle the loud myths first. No, “never get married” isn’t a strategy. No, alimony is not always forever. Most states are moving toward rehabilitative support. We break down ...

Insurance isn’t boring—it’s the foundation of your wealth plan. Most people treat it like an afterthought, only glancing at benefits during open enrollment and hoping nothing bad happens.

We talk expiring credits, retroactive tweaks, and why Q4 tax planning beats “see you in March” every single time. If y...

Q4 is the graveyard for lazy marketing. Every year, business owners crank out more posts, flood their feeds, and wonder why nothing sticks. It’s not about more volume. It’s about strategy, intention, and execution. And if you miss that in Q4, you’re already behind. In this episode, Stoy Hall and Kristina Hall rip apart the myths the “experts” keep pushing. We tackle why Q4 is the toughest quarter of the year, how ad spend spikes and engagement plummets, and why throwing AI-generated junk into...

Parenting isn’t content. It’s real life. It’s loud, messy, exhausting, and worth every ounce of you. In this episode of Let’s Get Real, I talk honestly about back-to-school chaos, youth sports pressure, and the money choices that actually build a family you’re proud of.

You ever unplug long enough to actually feel again? In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what really matters—not headlines, not hustle culture, not market panic. But moments. Memories. Legacy. After 18 hours in a car, hiking Zion, dodging rattlesnakes, and road-tripping with my wife and kids, I realized how little time we actually have with the people we love—and how much time we waste worrying about shit we can't control. This one’s personal. We talk about the power of presence, why y...
