Money School Podcast
For most people, debt isn’t a mistake; it’s just life. The mortgage, the car loan, and the credit cards are what everyone does. Making the minimum payments feels normal, but that actually keeps people stuck. Millions of families are drowning in debt, and they’re barely managing. They’re working hard, keeping up with their bills, but almost every dollar they earn goes right back out in interest. They’re not moving forward; they’re treading water. The hard part is, they’re not doing anything “wrong.” They’re doing what the system taught them to do: stay cash-poor while the...

When people hear “franchise”, they immediately picture a drive-through window and a fryer in the back. That narrow view hides one of the most accessible and profitable paths to business ownership today: non-food franchising. We’ve been taught that entrepreneurship means starting from scratch: writing business plans, building systems, and hoping your idea sticks. Franchising flips that equation. You’re not reinventing the wheel; you’re stepping into a proven system with training, marketing, and infrastructure already built. The best part? You can own a business that runs...

From the outside, pro athletes look like they’ve made it; like they’ll never have to worry about money again. Multi-million-dollar contracts, highlight reels, and luxury lifestyles suggest money will never be an issue. But behind the scenes, most players are one injury, one bad decision, or one contract away from financial ruin. The truth is, the average NBA career lasts just 4 years. Taxes, agents, lavish spending, and poor planning chip away at earnings until the fortune is gone, and with no plan for life after the game, many athletes end up broke and starting over from scratch....

Most investors don’t fail because they pick the wrong stock or buy into the wrong trend. They fail because they never define success for themselves. They chase returns without knowing what a win actually looks like. Without a clear target and purpose, investing becomes guesswork, and the chances of losing money are higher. Worse, they choose methods that look cool instead of ones they actually understand. They don’t give themselves a hard out, so they hold too long or sell too soon. And often, they pick investment vehicles that only pay them in one way. That’s where real estate...

From the outside, doctors and dentists look like they’ve got it all: good money, respected careers, the kind of lifestyle most people want. But what almost no one talks about is how fragile that life really is. One accident, one injury, and the very hands that their entire career depends on can suddenly stop producing income. That was Dr. Jeff Anzalone’s reality after a skiing accident nearly ended his ability to practice dentistry. It forced him to realize: as much as medicine can be rewarding, it’s still trading time for money, and it can all disappear in an instant. The solution...

Most people who buy life insurance never read the fine print. They’re promised “stock market–like returns without the risk,” a retirement account that doubles as a tax-free loan machine, and peace of mind for their families. On paper? It looks like the perfect product. But what happens when the math doesn’t add up, the illustrations don’t match reality, and families find out, years later, that the policy they’ve been funding is set to collapse? That’s the dark underbelly of the Indexed Universal Life (IUL) industry. And it’s exactly what my guest, Jonathan, aka the IUL...

Most business owners only call the bank when they’re in trouble. Cash is tight, deals are falling apart, stress is mounting. By then? It’s too late. The banks shut the doors and wave at you from behind the glass. That’s the obvious mistake. The less obvious one? Not realizing the best time to secure financing is when you don’t need it. That’s when banks give you more, on better terms, and when private lenders are willing to play ball. That’s the theme of my conversation with George Otel, founder of U.S. Business Funding. He’s closed 400+ deals, from SBA loans to $50M...
info_outlineYou’ve worked your whole life to build something that lasts. But what happens after you’re gone? Too many people avoid that question until it’s too late.
Because here’s the thing: your legacy is too important to put off till later. If you’re not intentional, you’ll leave your family with chaos and confusion.
Legacy doesn’t happen by accident. Trust structures are not magic documents. They’re only as good as the strategy behind them.
In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into how to build a legacy that doesn’t just pass on wealth, it passes on wisdom, protection, and purpose. And no one knows that better than Loral Langmeier.
She’s not just a six-time New York Times bestselling author or the CEO of Integrated Wealth Systems. She’s “The Millionaire Maker”, and she’s helped over 10,000 people build generational wealth through real estate, business, and smart financial systems.
Now, Loral is opening up her playbook on trusts, legacy planning, and how to protect your hard-earned assets from taxes, probate, and family drama. How do you make sure your heirs won’t inherit a mess? How do you leave them with an organized system of planning and wealth?
We break down the biggest myths around estate planning, why most trusts fail, and how to create one that lives on for generations.
