  • You Asked, We Spilled: Season Finale Q&A
    Jun 24 2025

    It’s the season finale, and we’re flipping the script. For our last episode of Season 2, we’re handing the mic to our producer, Justin, who’s putting us in the hot seat. He’s asking your questions—yep, the real ones you slid into our DMs with. From “Should I pay off my student loans faster or invest?” to “What’s the deal with first-time homebuyer programs?”—we’re answering the stuff you actually care about. No jargon. No judgment. Just real talk, real advice, and probably some chaotic energy. We’re wrapping Season 2 with the Q&A episode you didn’t know you needed. See you in September for Season 3! 💸💬

  • Be Your Own Bank? Sounds Fake but Okay.
    Jun 10 2025

    You’ve seen the TikToks: “Be your own bank,” they say — using life insurance to build wealth, borrow from yourself, and never deal with lenders again. Sounds like a cheat code, right? In this episode, we’re breaking down what that actually means. We’re diving into the concept of using whole life insurance as your own personal bank, where the hype comes from, who it actually works for, and why it flops for most people. Think of this as your no-BS guide to a trending strategy with a lot of fine print. We’ll cover the pros, the real-life roadblocks, and what you need to know before jumping on the "infinite banking" bandwagon.

    May 27 2025

    We’re in our “side hustle season,” and this week we’re diving into Airbnb culture with Jessica Starr, a top realtor with LPT Realty and a seasoned Airbnb host who manages multiple properties across multiple states. In this episode, we unpack what it really takes to run a successful short-term rental: startup costs, management tips, red flags to avoid, and how to know if it’s the right fit for you. Whether you’re dreaming of passive income or wondering if this is just another Instagram trap, we’re breaking it all down. Spoiler alert: It’s not just fluff and fairy lights—this is a business.
