Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!

Mastering your money mindset unlocks freedom most people never experience. In this power-packed episode, I speak with three financial titans who reveal the psychology behind wealth creation. Vivian Tu ("Your Rich BFF") breaks down her practical STRIP method for financial health, sharing why asking for raises beats cutting expenses every time. Noah Kagan opens up about his journey from feeling unworthy at AppSumo to creating an $85 million business, explaining why self-worth drives financial decisions. Alex Hormozi delivers the brutal truth that suffering only lasts a moment while achievement memories pay dividends forever. This conversation transforms how you'll approach money, relationships, and success whether you're starting your wealth journey or looking to level up.
