Cultivating Resilience
In this episode of Richer Soul, Rocky Lalvani speaks with Christa Camarillo, who brings unique insights into financial responsibility and the shifting perceptions around spending. Growing up in a military family, Christa shares how her early lessons on budgeting and spending shaped her values. Her experiences reflect on the traditional values of living within one's means, a concept that feels ever more challenging in today’s fast-paced, consumer-driven society. This discussion sheds light on mindful financial management, technology’s role in spending habits, and the importance of instilling money values early on.
Key TakeawaysFrugality as a Financial Foundation
Christa’s family practiced frugality, adhering to an envelope system and prioritizing needs over wants. These habits grounded her in the belief that financial stability comes from disciplined spending.Cash versus Swipe Culture
Christa reflects on the cultural shift from cash-based transactions to the ease of digital spending. This shift, she notes, impacts self-control, as the tangibility of cash provides a greater sense of spending accountability than swiping or tapping a card.Parental Influence on Money Values
Growing up, Christa’s parents instilled conservative spending habits. They taught her to avoid unnecessary purchases unless they could be paid for in cash. This lesson stayed with her, influencing her approach to money and her commitment to passing these values to future generations.The Role of Modern Convenience in Spending
Money Learning
With today’s technology offering immediate purchasing options, financial discipline is harder to maintain. Christa points out that for younger generations, this convenience can mask the reality of overspending.One of Christa’s core financial lessons was rooted in the concept of delayed gratification and mindful spending. Her family’s cash-based approach limited impulsive buys, making her consider every purchase's necessity. Today, she observes how the ease of digital payments challenges this discipline, impacting how younger generations relate to money. This shift highlights the need for financial literacy, particularly around budgeting and spending control.
BioChrista Camarillo grew up in a military family with a strong foundation in financial responsibility. Her parents taught her the value of budgeting, which has shaped her approach to money management. Now, she speaks on the importance of financial education and how traditional values can help in achieving stability in a high-tech, consumerist world.
Key Discussion Points Living Within Means: Christa discusses how her parents' budgeting methods kept their family financially stable, a principle she emphasizes as increasingly rare. Impact of Digital Payments: The conversation turns to how digital payment methods, like credit cards and mobile apps, lead to “swipe culture,” detaching people from the physical aspect of spending and resulting in less financial awareness. Cash-Based Budgeting: Rocky and Christa agree that handling physical money makes budgeting more intentional, noting that cash provides a tangible connection to spending limits. Modern Financial Challenges: They discuss the challenges modern conveniences present, including how easy access to purchases may disrupt traditional money values. Intergenerational Money Lessons: Christa reflects on her parents’ teachings and shares her goal of instilling the same values of budgeting and spending control in younger generations. ConclusionChrista Camarillo’s conversation with Rocky sheds light on the timeless principle of budgeting within one’s means and the evolving dynamics of financial management in a digital age. Her insights emphasize the need for financial education and the importance of instilling discipline in spending, especially as digital transactions increasingly replace physical cash. Through her family’s example, Christa provides a reminder that financial security is not only about income but also about making mindful choices. This episode is a valuable listen for those interested in blending traditional financial wisdom with modern challenges.

Unlocking Your Mind's Wealth Code
In this episode of Richer Soul, Rocky Lalvani sits down with Dave Conway, a leading mindset mentor and the founder of Conway Consulting. Dave shares his remarkable journey from being a carpenter to a successful entrepreneur, making $5,000 a month to over $550,000 a month. His transformation was guided by the power of mindset, manifestation, and an unwavering commitment to personal growth. This episode dives deep into the importance of mindset in achieving financial success, the ways we can reframe our relationships with money, and how manifestation can change the trajectory of our lives.
Key Takeaways
Mindset is everything: Your thoughts determine your reality, and changing your internal narrative can unlock tremendous growth. Three types of income: Dave emphasizes the three ways to earn money—trading time for money, money making money, and multiple sources of income. The role of fear in finances: Many people struggle with leveraging money due to fear of losing it after sacrificing time and effort. Opportunity cost and inaction: One of the most significant costs we face is not taking action when opportunities arise, often leading to missed growth potential.Money Learning
Dave shares a common struggle that many face—growing up in a world where time is traded for money. He talks about how most people never learn to leverage money to create more wealth. Instead, they hold onto money out of fear, especially if they have spent years trading their time for it. He also highlights the importance of recognizing opportunity costs and taking decisive action when necessary, as inaction can be incredibly costly.Bio
Dave Conway is a highly regarded mindset mentor, known as one of the best-kept secrets in the personal development world. He has coached over 25,000 entrepreneurs and is a protégé of Bob Proctor, with whom he worked at the Proctor Gallagher Institute. Dave founded Conway Consulting, where he teaches people how to manifest their desired outcomes through mindset coaching and a deep understanding of the power within. Starting from a modest income as a carpenter, Dave now helps others achieve extraordinary results by transforming their mental approach to success.Key Discussion Points
Early life lessons about money: Dave talks about his upbringing and the financial lessons he absorbed from his parents, including the stark contrasts in how they approached earning and managing money. This shaped his initial belief system, which he later had to dismantle in order to achieve success. The three ways to earn money: Dave breaks down the three methods of earning money—trading time for money (the path most people take), investing money to make more money, and creating multiple income streams. Fear and the scarcity mindset: People often fear losing money because they have sacrificed so much time to earn it, leading to a scarcity mindset that prevents them from taking risks and investing. Manifestation and mindset shift: A key moment in Dave's life occurred when he discovered the concept of manifestation. By shifting his mindset and using manifestation techniques, Dave was able to create a new financial reality for himself. Overcoming fear of investment: Dave talks about how people need to overcome their fear of leveraging money in order to invest wisely and grow financially.Conclusion

Aim for the Uprights
In this episode of the Richer Soul podcast, Rocky Lalvani sits down with Stu Crum, a seasoned leader in the corporate world and former professional athlete. Stu shares his life journey, from playing college football to holding executive positions at Jiffy Lube and Bridgestone. Now, he’s an advocate of "Intentional Living," a concept he outlines in his book Aim for the Uprights. Through his stories, Stu highlights how intentionality in faith, family, and business can shape a successful and fulfilling life.
Key Takeaways:
Intentional Living: Stu emphasizes the importance of being deliberate in every aspect of life. Whether it's managing finances, nurturing family relationships, or leading a business, intentionality is key to long-term success. Hard Work and Financial Literacy: Growing up in a financially literate family, Stu learned the value of hard work and money management early on. He also passed these lessons to his own children, expanding their understanding of investing. Overcoming Challenges: Stu’s journey wasn't without obstacles, but his leadership skills and mindset helped him navigate both personal and professional challenges effectively.Money Learning:
Stu's parents played a pivotal role in his financial education, making him "money literate" by his teenage years. They instilled in him the value of saving, budgeting, and working hard to earn money. However, Stu shared that while his family taught him to save, they didn’t dive deep into investment strategies. This realization led him to ensure that his own children had a more comprehensive financial education, including understanding investments and creating wealth beyond saving.
Stu also noted how financial literacy is different today, with technology enabling anyone to invest with ease—something that wasn't as accessible during his early years.
Bio:
Stu Crum is a former college football star who transitioned from the sports field to the corporate boardroom. Over the years, he held leadership roles at Texaco, Shell Oil, Jiffy Lube, and Bridgestone. Stu worked on big deals with influential figures like Carl Icahn and developed his leadership philosophy from both his personal and professional experiences. His concept of Intentional Living is explored further in his book, Aim for the Uprights: The Intentional Playbook for Success in Faith, Family, and Business. Learn more at stucrum.com.
Key Discussion Points:
Learning the Value of Money: Stu shared how he grew up in an upper-middle-class family where financial literacy was highly emphasized. His parents were intentional about teaching him the importance of money and working hard to earn it, a mindset that stuck with him throughout his life.
Financial Knowledge Gap: Stu revealed that while he was well-prepared in managing money, his parents didn’t teach him much about investing. This motivated him to be more intentional with his children, discussing investment strategies early on to ensure they understood how to grow their wealth.
From Football to Business: Stu talked about how his football background, especially playing in highly competitive environments, shaped his leadership skills. He carried this competitive drive and discipline into his corporate career, eventually leading some of the biggest companies in their sectors.
The Importance of Intentional Living: One of Stu’s core messages is that success in any area—whether in family life, business, or personal growth—requires intentionality. He believes in setting clear goals and following through with deliberate actions to achieve them. This has been his guiding philosophy in both his personal and professional life.
Navigating Financial Changes: Stu reflected on the significant changes in how people approach finances today. With investment apps and zero-fee trading platforms, it has become easier to invest, unlike the days when stock trades could cost hundreds of dollars. He advised staying intentional with money, whether it's in managing day-to-day expenses or making long-term investments.

Stu Crum’s journey from college football to corporate leadership is a testament to the power of intentional living.

The Mentally Strong Leader
In this episode of Richer Soul, Scott Mautz, an acclaimed author, keynote speaker, and former Procter & Gamble executive shares powerful insights from his new book, The Mentally Strong Leader, focusing on how mental strength can be the leadership superpower that helps people overcome adversity and thrive in their personal and professional lives. The conversation touches on Scott’s personal journey, the six “mental muscles” every leader needs, and the science behind building effective leadership habits.
Key takeaways:
Mental strength is the superpower that allows leaders to navigate challenges and lead with resilience. Cultivating mental strength requires building key habits that support confidence, fortitude, boldness, and clear communication. Leadership involves balancing confidence with humility to create an environment of trust. Reframing setbacks as learning opportunities strengthens mental fortitude. Leaders need to focus on long-term success and develop mental muscles that help them perform consistently.Money Learning:
Scott shared his first major money lesson when he ran a pool-cleaning business as a high school student. He quickly realized that profitability hinges on a simple but often overlooked principle: your revenue must exceed your expenses. This early lesson in financial management taught Scott the importance of understanding costs and managing a business efficiently. Interestingly, Rocky pointed out that many adult business owners still struggle with this concept, underscoring the critical need for better financial literacy, both in personal and business contexts.
Bio:
Scott Mautz is the founder and CEO of Profound Performance, a keynote training and coaching company. He is a former executive at Procter & Gamble, where he successfully ran four of the company’s largest multi-billion-dollar businesses.

Key Discussion Points:
Building Mental Strength: Scott emphasizes that mental strength is crucial for leadership, especially in today’s fast-paced, high-pressure world. He introduces the concept of six “mental muscles” that leaders need to develop: fortitude, confidence, boldness, decision-making, goal-focus, and messaging. These are the pillars of mental strength, and they help leaders stay resilient in the face of adversity.
Habit-Building Science: One of the key elements of Scott’s approach is the idea of habit-building science. He explains how habits can shape behavior and how leaders can build mental strength by adopting practices that reinforce resilience and clear communication. For example, reframing setbacks as opportunities to learn is a habit that strengthens fortitude over time.
Confidence with Humility: Scott points out the importance of balancing confidence with humility. While confidence is necessary for effective leadership, it must be tempered with a willingness to listen and adapt. This balance creates a culture of trust and respect within a team, which is essential for long-term success.
Reframing Setbacks: Scott shares practical strategies for reframing setbacks, an essential habit for mental strength. Leaders often face challenges, and those who can view these moments as learning experiences rather than failures build resilience. This mindset shift is crucial for staying positive and proactive in difficult times.
The Power of Messaging: Effective communication is one of the core “mental muscles” Scott talks about. He explains that leaders need to send clear, purposeful messages to their teams. This requires intentionality, precision, and consistency. The ability to convey the right message at the right time can make all the difference in motivating and leading a team.
Conclusion:
In this episode, Scott Mautz delivers a masterclass on the mental strength required to lead effectively in today's challenging world. His insights on habit-building science, resilience, and leadership balance provide listeners with practical tools they can apply immediately in their personal and professional lives.

Creating Clarity
In this episode of Richer Soul, we dive into the world of leadership engagement with Chad Brown, a seasoned expert in coaching founders and executives. Chad has a unique approach to helping leaders unlock their full potential by mastering both the art and science of leadership. Through his coaching, he empowers his clients to achieve unprecedented results while also finding fulfillment in their work. Let’s explore Chad’s fascinating journey, the insights he’s gained from his experiences, and the lessons he shares about leadership, growth, and living a purpose-driven life.
Takeaways:Leadership as a Balance of Art and Science: Chad explains that effective leadership is both an art and a science. While technical skills and knowledge are important, emotional intelligence, trust-building, and personal fulfillment are equally critical in becoming a successful leader.
Work-Life Integration, Not Balance: Chad challenges the traditional notion of work-life balance, calling it a myth. Instead, he advocates for work-life integration, where professional and personal lives are aligned to bring purpose and fulfillment across all areas of life.
The Power of Trust in Leadership: Chad highlights two types of trust: one that can accelerate team performance and one that can be devastating. Understanding and fostering the right kind of trust in your team and clients can significantly boost the effectiveness and success of a leader.
Creating New Results through Leadership: Leadership, according to Chad, is about guiding teams and clients to create unprecedented results. This requires constant development, tough conversations, and a willingness to push beyond comfort zones.
Money Learnings:Lessons from Financial Struggles: Chad’s early experiences with money were marked by financial instability, particularly from his father's work as a drywall contractor. These struggles taught him about the scarcity of money, and the whiplash effect financial issues can have on family plans and emotions, like a canceled family trip to Disneyland that left a lasting impact.
Work Ethic from a Young Age: Chad started working at the age of 12, helping in his father’s drywall business. This experience gave him a strong work ethic but also ingrained some less-than-ideal money habits that he later had to overcome. His experience taught him that hard work doesn’t necessarily equate to smart money management.
Changing the Money Narrative: Chad discusses the importance of rethinking how we view money. By shifting away from unhealthy habits and beliefs that were picked up during childhood, it’s possible to form a healthier relationship with money and create financial stability.
Financial Coaching in Leadership: Chad shares how leaders often need to develop their financial understanding to be better managers and decision-makers. His coaching includes guiding leaders to overcome their limiting financial beliefs, thereby unlocking new possibilities for both personal and professional growth.
Bio:

When not working with clients, Chad enjoys embarking on wild adventures in the Utah mountains with his family.
Key Discussion Points:
Early Experiences with Money and Work: Chad shared that his early experiences with money were not ideal. Growing up in a small town in Utah, his family struggled financially. His father, a drywall contractor, worked hard but often faced financial instability, which left a lasting impression on Chad. One particularly painful memory was a canceled family trip to Disneyland due to unexpected financial troubles. This experience shaped Chad’s perspective on money, hard work, and the importance of financial stability.
From Shade Tree Films to Leadership Coaching: Chad’s journey into leadership coaching began with the founding of Shade Tree Films in 2008. The media production company quickly grew, servicing major global brands. While running this business, Chad discovered his passion for leadership and achieving results through others. After selling the company in 2021, he transitioned to coaching full-time, working with founders and executives to help them navigate the challenges of leadership.
The Art and Science of Leadership: Chad emphasizes the importance of balancing the art and science of leadership. He coaches leaders to not only focus on results but also to find fulfillment in their work. He discusses how effective leadership requires understanding both the technical aspects of managing a team and the emotional intelligence to foster trust and connection within an organization.
Work-Life Balance vs. Work-Life Integration: Chad challenges the idea of work-life balance, calling it a myth. Instead, he advocates for work-life integration, where personal and professional lives are harmonized. He believes that leaders should focus on integrating their passions and purpose into both their work and personal lives to create a more fulfilling experience.
Free Resources for Founders: Chad shares his free assessment, the "4 Pillars of Founder Freedom," which helps leaders identify key areas for growth and scalability. He also offers access to his resource, "5 Critical Founder Beliefs That Kill Scalability," which outlines common beliefs that hold back leaders and how to overcome them.
Conclusion: Chad Brown's insights into leadership and personal growth offer valuable lessons for anyone looking to improve their effectiveness as a leader.

Unlocking Joy: The Power of Daily Gratitude
Take away: The transformative power of gratitude and its impact on overall well-being and success. Cultivating gratitude through simple, consistent practices can lead to profound positive changes in one's life, affecting mental health, personal relationships, and even professional success. Money Learnings: When Sohale was very young (around 4-5 years old), his mother would play investment tapes in the car. These tapes discussed topics like how to invest in the stock market. Surprisingly, Sohale found these investment tapes interesting and "cool" at a young age, which was unusual for a child. In elementary and middle school, Sohale participated in fake stock programs, which he enjoyed and which sparked his interest in entrepreneurship. Sohale's mother approached investing with more fear and emotion, while his father was more even-keeled and objective about financial decisions. Through his father's approach, Sohale learned about the importance of understanding larger economic forces when making financial decisions. Bio: Sohale Sizar is the founder of Soul with the mission to illuminate the daily practice of gratitude for his rapidly growing online community. An entrepreneur since the age of nine with 15 years of dedicated practice in meditation and gratitude, Sohale translated his experiences into earning a Stanford MBA and building ventures spanning non-profit charities, education, and consumer technology. Soahle is now an exited entrepreneur on a mission to facilitate access to one's inner light through his gratitude teachings. Highlights from this episode: Gratitude practices can have profound impacts on mental and physical health, including improved sleep, cardiovascular health, and pain tolerance. Developing self-awareness and examining our internal narratives is crucial for personal growth and overcoming limiting beliefs. The words we use shape our thoughts and attitudes - being mindful of negative language patterns can help shift to a more positive mindset. Experimenting with different paths and careers early in life can help uncover one's unique skills and passions. Simple habit formation techniques, like reducing friction through text message reminders, can make practicing gratitude more sustainable. Viewing gratitude through a spiritual lens can reveal one's inherent abundance and connection to a greater source. Compassion for oneself is a key component of happiness that many people struggle with but is essential for overall wellbeing.

Harnessing Quantum Physics for Personal Growth and Healing
Take away: True financial success may require more than just conscious effort and knowledge - it may necessitate identifying and changing subconscious beliefs that are holding us back. By aligning our subconscious mind with our conscious desires, we can potentially unlock greater financial success and abundance in our lives. Money Learnings: Dr. G. Rex Kruhly's father, who grew up during the Great Depression, instilled a mindset of lack and scarcity. His father taught that money was hard to get and one should be very careful with it. Dr. Kruhly started working for his own money at age 13, driven by ambition. This childhood programming created a cognitive dissonance that later affected his ability to make money as an adult, despite his professional achievements. He never learned how to save until he was nearly 60 years old. Bio: Dr. G. Rex Kruhly is the visionary Founder of Depth Healing, a groundbreaking system that merges Applied Quantum Physics with holistic healing to help individuals overcome subconscious blocks and achieve personal greatness. With over five decades of interdisciplinary study and personal experience, Dr. G has transformed his life through resilience and mindfulness, overcoming severe emotional trauma, a debilitating back injury, homelessness, and cancer. His unique approach harmonizes inner growth with external reality, aligning perfectly with the mission to live a life on purpose. Discover how Dr. G's methods can help you rewire your mind and unlock your true potential. Highlights from this episode: Childhood experiences and family attitudes can deeply shape our relationship with money, often in subconscious ways. Cognitive dissonance between our conscious desires and subconscious programming can block financial success. Methods like "depth healing" aim to access and reprogram limiting subconscious beliefs. True meditation and higher consciousness are difficult to achieve for most people. We may be living in an era of widespread manipulation and control through technology and media. Building "morphic fields" of positive energy through group practices may help counteract negative influences. Finding legitimate mentors and masters to learn from directly is preferable to relying on academic education or AI.

Your Grass is Greener with Jason Silver
Take away: The power of small, intentional changes in how we work and communicate to significantly improve productivity, decision-making, and overall job satisfaction. Focus on changing "how" you work rather than "what" you work on and recognize that outcomes are not fully in your control. Money Learnings: Jason's parents were intentional about teaching him about money from a young age. They taught him to think about how much he needed to save for things he wanted. They discussed the consequences of spending money and how to think about saving. They instilled the idea that it's not good to spend all your money at once. Both of Jason's parents had backgrounds in accounting, which may have influenced their approach to teaching him about money. Overall, Jason received structured and intentional financial education from his parents, which he considers himself fortunate to have experienced, as this level of financial education at home is relatively uncommon. Bio: Jason Silver is a multi-time founder of kids and a multi-time founder of companies. He gets his biggest thrill helping modern employees and their teams unlock a better way to work—surfing is a close second. He was an early employee at Airbnb and helped build an AI company from the ground up back before AI was the cool thing to do. Today, he advises a startup portfolio valued in the billions on how to build great, lasting companies that people actually enjoy working for. He’s a sought-after public speaker, instructor, and advisor on how to transform work into one of the biggest drivers of positivity in your life. When he’s not busy helping people solve their hardest workplace challenges, Jason’s kids are busy reminding him just how much of a work in progress he still is too. Highlights from this episode: Intentional parenting around money and finances can have a lasting positive impact on children's financial habits and understanding. Small changes in how we communicate and make decisions at work can lead to major productivity gains and improved outcomes. Using "briefbacks" to confirm understanding can dramatically reduce costly miscommunications in the workplace. Focusing on alignment rather than full agreement can accelerate decision-making in organizations. Clarity on who the decision-maker is for any given issue is critical for efficient decision processes. Changing how we work, rather than what we work on, can often have the biggest impact on job satisfaction and effectiveness. Prioritizing intentionality and being present in the moment is key to living an abundant life, rather than always deferring to the future.

Take away: The importance of taking action and making progress, even if it's not perfect. Perfection should not be the enemy of good. Taking imperfect action and continuing to iterate is the key to meaningful personal growth and development. The willingness to be vulnerable and embrace a process-oriented mindset is what allows people to truly transform their lives. Money Learnings: Mark Jordan's parents instilled core money values like hard work and saving. Jordan also had early entrepreneurial experience running a lawn care business as a teenager, which taught him practical lessons about managing clients, getting paid, and dealing with financial setbacks like client bankruptcies. He had more extensive financial education and skills development through his own business ventures and graduate studies, rather than formal training at home or school. Bio: Mark Jordan, founder of Unravel Groups, is a veteran entrepreneur and mentor with a background in investment banking, real estate acquisitions, and financial services. Mark, who holds both a BSBA and an MBA, has authored multiple books, established three companies, and been a part of starting two churches. He leverages his extensive experience in corporate and non-profit sectors to lead men toward transformational growth in their spiritual, relational, and vocational lives through Unravel Groups. Designed to support men from diverse backgrounds, Unravel offers both individual and group programs that emphasize personal development rooted in progress, not perfection. Mark is passionate about exploring the world with his family and has visited six of the seven continents. This zest for life and discovery enhances his mentorship, reinforcing his dedication to the pursuit of excellence and values such as integrity, leadership, and service. Highlights from this episode: The value of an MBA program focused on entrepreneurship in providing problem-solving skills and a framework for navigating personal finances. The distinction between work-life "balance" and work-life "harmony", and why the latter is a more realistic and beneficial approach. The role of vulnerability and having crucial conversations in building meaningful relationships and personal growth. The significance of reading and ongoing self-improvement, and how a supportive group environment can help sustain positive habits.

Take away: The power of mindset and belief in shaping one's financial and personal success. Success isn't just about external circumstances, but about how we perceive and respond to challenges, and our willingness to continually learn, adapt, and push beyond our perceived limitations.

Sublime Knowledge
Take away: The power of understanding and aligning our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with our goals to create positive change in our lives. The importance of moving beyond limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns, often formed in childhood, to embrace a more expansive view of personal potential and abundance. By practicing self-reflection, asking mentally enabling questions, and tapping into intuition, individuals can rewire their subconscious minds and break free from cycles of fear, doubt, and stagnation. By understanding how our mental faculties work and aligning them with our aspirations, we can lead more fulfilled, purposeful, and abundant lives. Money Learnings: Alia grew up in New York City with a mother who worked extremely hard to support them after Alia's father passed away when she was 11. She observed her mother working 12 hours a day, seven days a week to pay the bills and support their life in expensive New York City. Her mother's constant work led to medical challenges and a poor quality of life. This experience motivated Alia to seek a different path. In her early 20s, she took control of her life and financial destiny, moving herself and her mother out of New York. Alia's childhood experiences shaped her to be stronger and more resilient against challenges. However, it wasn't until 2018 that she truly began to evolve her understanding of money. She realized that she was not the sole creator of money in her life and that it came from a divine source. This shift in perspective led her to explore multiple income streams and alternative ways of creating wealth that didn't rely solely on trading time for money. Bio: In March 2022 Alia Yasmin Khan founded Sublime Knowledge, a mindset coaching company in Phoenix, Arizona.

The Energy of Success
Take away: The importance of aligning your energy with your core values, both personally and professionally. Understanding and managing your energy is crucial for success and fulfillment. By identifying your values, leading with curiosity instead of assumptions, and making conscious choices about how you expend your energy, you can create a more productive and satisfying life. This applies not only to individuals but also to organizations, where aligning company values with employee values can lead to better engagement, retention, and overall success. Money Learnings: At age 7, during a trip to Pakistan, Rebecca encountered poverty for the first time.

This experience sparked her curiosity about helping others and finding solutions to problems. At age 11, when her parents went through a tumultuous divorce, Rebecca took initiative to support her family financially. She approached her tennis instructor and asked to coach instead of attending tennis academy, earning $6.50 per hour. She also started tutoring to earn money.

Bio: Rebecca Ahmed is an award-winning speaker, a business consultant, and an Energy Leadership IndexTM Master Practitioner (ELI-MP).

Creating Personalized Health Plan for You
Take away: The importance of personalized, root-cause approaches to health and wellness. Each person's biochemistry is unique, and therefore, health solutions should be tailored accordingly. By understanding one's specific nutritional needs and addressing them through customized supplements and lifestyle changes, many chronic conditions can be significantly improved or even resolved, potentially offering a more effective alternative to conventional medication-based treatments. Money Learnings: Marc grew up in a family with a "country club lifestyle" and didn't lack for needs. His father ran a business, which embedded an entrepreneurial mindset in Marc. He sold snacks at little league games and later had a bagel delivery route on Sundays. As a teenager, he and his brother bought and sold baseball cards at shows. His family faced significant financial difficulties when Marc was in his late teens due to his father's business sale and subsequent health issues. He witnessed a dramatic shift from a high-spending lifestyle to financial struggles over 4-5 years. This experience taught Marc important lessons about living within one's means, saving, investing, and managing a budget. Unlike his parents, who didn't share much about investments or financial planning, Marc later adopted an open approach with his own children about money matters. Bio: Marc has led successful entrepreneurial ventures for over 25 years, highlighted by his acquisition and expansion of Village Green Apothecary, an industry-leading integrative and custom compounding pharmacy in Bethesda, MD. Since 2002, under Marc's leadership, Village Green has grown to offer an expansive suite of personalized health offerings, including a vast selection of high-quality nutritional supplements, tailored lab testing with a focus on customized precision nutrient formulations, and nutritional consultations. Marc’s passion for functional nutrition and wellness, coupled with Village Green’s focus on personalized health, has led to the launch of Humanized Health, an educational resource aimed at helping people get to the root causes of their health conditions. Earlier in his career, Marc founded Glacier Ridge, an all-natural beverage company that was ahead of its time in recognizing the trends toward natural and organic products. After successfully growing and selling the venture, he spearheaded the U.S. expansion of Melitta Coffee. Marc earned a BS in Business Management from Ithaca College and completed a three-year Executive Education Program at MIT. He has been an active member of the Entrepreneurs Organization for 30 years. Highlights from this episode: Personal experience with a daughter's seizures led to exploring personalized nutrition and brain chemistry testing. Traditional healthcare often focuses on symptom management rather than addressing root causes. Customized vitamin/mineral/amino acid formulas can help balance brain chemistry for many mental health issues. Gut health and microbiome play a critical role in overall wellness. Genetic and lifestyle factors create unique nutritional needs for each individual. Early intervention is key for conditions like autism, but improvements can be made at any age. Experimenting and exploring different interests is valuable for young people to find meaningful work. Links: https://myvillagegreen.com/ Richer Soul Life Beyond Money. You got rich, now what?

The Spiritual Side of Money
Take away: True wealth creation happens when you align your energy frequency with your desired financial goals. You must first feel and embody the mindset of the wealthy person you want to become. The key is to take inspired action from your abundant mindset. Start small if needed, but keep taking steps that reinforce your new wealthy identity, whether investing a little each month or having conversations as the wealthy person you envision. Money Learnings: Elizabeth spent a significant amount of time with her entrepreneurial grandfathers, who owned successful businesses like the world's largest electric cotton gin company. They exposed her to the business world and operations from a young age, taking her to their offices and showing her the machinery and equipment. One grandfather taught her the importance of saving money through his focus on investing in land and real estate. The other grandfather emphasized analyzing decisions financially by "putting pencil to it" and doing the calculations. This upbringing instilled a neutral, abundant mindset towards money in her from childhood, rather than feelings of scarcity or discomfort around finances. Bio: Elizabeth Ralph is a high-level wealth strategist and intuitive investor who retired at the age of 39 in order to teach others how to reach financial freedom through non-traditional ways. She is the founder of The Spiritual Investor and the host of The Spiritual Investor podcast, the place where entrepreneurs transform from unsure investors to effortless wealth creators. Formerly a financial executive and energy trader, Elizabeth shifted her focus entirely in 2012 while feeding Cheetos to a kangaroo on a beach in Australia. She realized that in order to fulfill her purpose of saving unwanted horses from slaughter she needed to break free from the confines of the corporate world. So right then and there, she decided to go “all-in” and set up a strategy to achieve financial freedom within 10 years. Since then Elizabeth has helped countless spiritual entrepreneurs to create their own strategies for financial freedom through The Spiritual Investor framework. Highlights from this episode: Combining spiritual practices with practical financial tools like investing accelerates wealth creation. Awareness and conscious creation aligned with desires are key to manifesting financial goals effortlessly. Overcoming scarcity mindset and embracing abundance frequency allows opportunities to flow. Taking consistent action in the 3D world reinforces the new wealthy identity being created internally. Finding your unique "why" behind wealth-building provides motivation beyond just accumulating money. Investing enables buying yourself out of trading time for money and creates optionality for the life you want.

Integrating Life and Business in Harmony
Take away: Shed any lingering victim mentality and wholeheartedly embrace that you alone have the power to architect the life you want through your effort, mindset, and choices. True freedom comes from this radical responsibility. Money Learnings: Daniel Brown didn't receive much education about money management, saving, or investing when he was growing up as a child. As the "golden child" and only child, life was very comfortable and money was readily available. However, this easy upbringing meant he didn't learn important lessons about preserving wealth, saving for the future, or the value of having a "rainy day" fund. It was only later in life, after facing some financial struggles himself in real estate, that he realized the importance of building an emergency fund, saving consistently, and having a long-term investing mindset from an early age. Bio: CEO of Brownstone in Austin. Brit by birth, American by choice, and a family man with a wonderful wife, 5 children, and 2 little grandkids. We're in the business of creating beautiful spec homes that prioritize design, quality and health. We're pushing to transform our current 15 homes into 50 plus per year, via our just launched $20m investment fund raise, in our aim to meet Austin's booming need for more and better living spaces. Beyond bricks and mortar, I'm all about personal growth and holistic health. I firmly believe with the right mindset and effort, almost anyone can excel at almost anything, and that true happiness and health is within our control. I dream of a future where everyone is moving ever closer to their ultimate potential. Highlights from this episode: Embrace discomfort and seek challenges to build resilience and a growth mindset. Stepping out of your comfort zone leads to personal development. Emphasize whole-body health through a balanced focus on nutrition, exercise/movement, and mental/spiritual well-being. Neglecting any area leads to imbalance. Prioritize real, unprocessed foods and stay away from ultra-processed "franken-foods" for optimal health. Start with simple diet changes. Incorporate varied movement patterns like lifting, carrying, and throwing to mimic natural human movements for strength and mobility. Move beyond traditional gym exercises. Explore the mind-body connection. Physical ailments may have roots in unresolved emotional trauma. Address the emotional component of healing. Build and maintain strong community connections. Surrounding yourself with positive, growth-oriented individuals elevates your mindset. Continually pursue knowledge through reading and applying insights. Knowledge alone is not power - applied knowledge leads to positive change. Links: https://brownstoneci.com/ https://www.instagram.com/brownstone_capital_investments/ Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

How to Reclaim Your Freedom
Take away: By cultivating this inner sovereignty first, you can then show up in life with more resilience, creativity, focus, and charisma in whatever you do - be it work, relationships, or pursuing wealth and success. But the wealth ultimately has to start from valuing and caring for yourself from the inside first. That allows you to thrive from a grounded, empowered state, rather than constantly striving from anxiety or self-denial. Money Learnings: Discussions about money, wealth, or comparing financial situations were discouraged in her household when Dr. Emma Seppala was growing up. Her parents discouraged her from talking about or thinking too much about other people's wealth or material possessions. Money was not a major topic of discussion or emphasis in her family during her childhood. Bio: Emma Seppälä, Ph.D., is a Yale professor, best-selling author of The Happiness Track, and research scientist who has researched the effects of meditation and breathing on happiness, anxiety, and trauma. She has a new book coming out by Hay House on April 24th titled Sovereign: Reclaim Your Freedom, Energy and Power in a Time of Distraction, Uncertainty and Chaos that is sure to become a bestseller. Highlights from this episode: Cultivating inner peace and sovereignty through practices like meditation, unplugging from technology, spending time in nature, and practicing gratitude is crucial for living an abundant life. Developing a supportive, compassionate relationship with oneself, rather than constant self-criticism, leads to better mental health, cognitive abilities, relationships, and overall success. Training the nervous system through breathing exercises can increase resilience and calmness in the face of stress and uncertainty. True creativity and innovative thinking arise when the mind is in a relaxed, present state – not from constant busyness and device usage. Multitasking is ineffective; being fully present and attentive, whether with ourselves or others, is a powerful charismatic quality. Question societal narratives promoting chronic busyness, achievement obsession, and emotional suppression – these diminish energy and fulfillment. Nurture an inner voice of authenticity from a young age, rather than blindly following prescribed norms about success and worth.
