Busy Is Not a Revenue Strategy
MILMO Show
Being busy can feel responsible and productive, but if you’ve ever found yourself working all the time and still wondering why the money doesn’t reflect the effort you’re putting in, you are in good company. In this episode, I’m talking about why busy is not a revenue strategy, how easy it is to get pulled into work that feels productive but doesn’t actually bring in income, and how to think about the different hats you wear in business, especially when you’re building something new, and nothing feels certain yet.

A Quick Financial Reset When You Feel Behind
MILMO Show
Feeling behind can sneak up on you. It’s not always about the numbers. It’s that constant sense that you should be further along, more caught up, more on top of things than you are. And for military families, that feeling can hit even harder when life keeps moving, whether you’re ready or not. In this episode, I’m sharing a quick financial reset. Not a full overhaul or a long to-do list. Just a steady way to pause, get your footing, and decide what actually deserves your attention right now.

MILMO Show
Saving money is something most people want to do or are already doing, but where that money sits often gets overlooked. A lot of service members and spouses are doing the right thing by spending less than they make and saving money, but your savings might not be working to its fullest potential for you. And that can slow your progress, even when you’re trying hard. In this episode, I’m talking about high-yield savings accounts, what they are, how to choose the right one for your life, and how to maintain it. I’m going to share some strategies you can use and stick with, especially during...

Choosing Peace Over Pressure in the New Year
MILMO Show
The start of a new year brings a lot of pressure. Pressure to fix everything, do more, be better, and somehow come up with a brand-new version of yourself at the stroke of midnight. And for many military families and others who feel financially or personally behind, that pressure can feel overwhelming instead of motivating. In this episode, I want to share a more straightforward approach to goals, one that I personally use, especially as I head into 2026. It’s not about doing more. It’s about creating space, trusting your gut, and taking steady action on the things that will actually bring...

Staying on Top of Your Money in the VA Disability Claims Process
MILMO Show
For many veterans, the hardest part of leaving the military isn’t the transition, it’s figuring out what to do with the physical and mental wear-and-tear of service. Too many walk away without documenting injuries, without understanding the claims process, or believing they don’t “deserve” benefits because someone else had it worse.
