Doctors Make Great Money Until They Don’t (The Passive Income Fix) w/ Dr. Jeff Anzalone show art Doctors Make Great Money Until They Don’t (The Passive Income Fix) w/ Dr. Jeff Anzalone

Money School Podcast

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...

4,000 Reviews, $1M in Refunds: The Ugly Truth About IULs w/ Jonathan Aguilera show art 4,000 Reviews, $1M in Refunds: The Ugly Truth About IULs w/ Jonathan Aguilera

Money School Podcast

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...

Don’t Wait: How to Line Up Business Financing Before You Need It w/ George Otel show art Don’t Wait: How to Line Up Business Financing Before You Need It w/ George Otel

Money School Podcast

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...

Beyond the Bidding Wars: How Elite Investors Find Opportunities Others Miss w/ Aleea Stanton show art Beyond the Bidding Wars: How Elite Investors Find Opportunities Others Miss w/ Aleea Stanton

Money School Podcast

Most real estate investors are running the same race: chasing the hottest markets, competing for the same deals, and trying to outbid one another. The problem? That crowded approach often blinds you to the opportunities hiding in plain sight. The truth is, success in investing isn’t about following the crowd or chasing trends; it’s about looking where others aren’t, leading with strategy, and building relationships that open doors no one else can see. That’s what sets Aleea Stanton apart. She didn’t start investing just to rack up properties. She began with a deeper purpose: to give...

Lonely at the Top: The Quiet Crisis of the Ultra-Successful w/ David Christensen show art Lonely at the Top: The Quiet Crisis of the Ultra-Successful w/ David Christensen

Money School Podcast

You’ve experienced life at the highest level: private planes, exclusive circles, red carpet events, and the luxury that money can buy. But beyond the accolades and access, have you ever found yourself asking, 'Is this all there is?' There’s a silent struggle that often shadows success. Behind the velvet ropes and curated lifestyles, many high-profile individuals wrestle with an inner void—an ache that no amount of wealth, recognition, or adrenaline can truly silence. When the applause quiets and the entourage leaves, the stillness can feel suffocating. For some, that emptiness is numbed...

Your Home’s Value Is Up, But Your Bank Account Isn’t? Try This w/ Arthur Hood show art Your Home’s Value Is Up, But Your Bank Account Isn’t? Try This w/ Arthur Hood

Money School Podcast

You’ve got something valuable sitting right under your nose: your home’s equity. But here’s the thing: it’s not exactly helping you pay the bills. Your house might be worth a lot more than before, but day-to-day expenses still pile up.  Inflation’s squeezing your paycheck, groceries keep getting more expensive, and it feels like you’re stretched thinner every month. You’re “house rich,” sure, but cash? Not so much. And that’s exhausting. The reality is, owning a valuable home doesn’t mean your wallet feels any heavier. Lots of folks are stuck in this same spot right...

What No One Tells You About Leaving Your Own Company w/Cody Hofhine show art What No One Tells You About Leaving Your Own Company w/Cody Hofhine

Money School Podcast

You built your business from scratch and poured your heart and soul into it. So it might feel strange, even disloyal, to think about stepping away or exiting.  From the outside, everything’s working: sales are up, your team’s solid, and your brand is gaining traction. But under the surface? You’re tired, the vision that once felt clear now feels fuzzy, and growth has started to feel like a grind. This isn’t uncommon. Many founders hesitate to plan an exit because things still feel “fine.” But there’s a big difference between “fine” and truly free. Founders leave their...

How to Beat the Insurance Companies at Their Own Game w/ Rob Haynie show art How to Beat the Insurance Companies at Their Own Game w/ Rob Haynie

Money School Podcast

Here’s the dirty secret in the term insurance industry: They win when you cancel. They win when your policy lapses. They win when you don’t understand what you really own. Think about that for a second. You’ve been sold on the idea that term insurance is the smart, affordable choice. But what no one tells you is this: it’s a ticking clock. If you outlive the term, you get nothing. All those years of paying in? Gone. Just like that. Who wins? The insurance companies. Every. Single. Time. They count on you to drop it. They bank on you not knowing any better. But what if you flipped the...

Why So Many Real Estate Investors Are Burnt Out w/ Ashley Kehr show art Why So Many Real Estate Investors Are Burnt Out w/ Ashley Kehr

Money School Podcast

Feeling burnt out? You’re not the only investor hitting that wall. Long hours, back-to-back deals, tenants, contractors, financing, and the never-ending pressure to grow. You got into real estate for time freedom and financial independence, but somewhere along the way, it started to feel like just another grind. Here’s the truth most investors won’t say out loud: Burnout isn’t a rite of passage, it’s a red flag. And ignoring it can cost you more than just momentum; it can eat away at your health, relationships, and your reason for investing in the first place. But what if there’s...

You’re out in the real world, trying to “figure it out,” but instead, you feel lost, stuck. Everyone told you that once you got the degree, the path would appear. But here you are, overwhelmed, second-guessing, and unsure where to even begin.

It’s exhausting. You’re watching others seemingly take off while you're still parked at the starting line. The pressure builds. Mentally, you're battling doubt. Financially, you feel the weight of responsibility. And the worst part? You want to start, but you just don’t know how.

That’s where Taylor Clark was. Done with school. Spinning in circles. So she tried everything. Said yes to new experiences. Flirted with a bunch of paths. And then one call with Gary Vee changed her life. Not because he handed her a golden ticket, but because she finally picked her thing… and went all in.

What if that one call, that one moment of clarity, could change your entire direction? Are you ready to stop floundering and start moving with purpose? What sacrifices are you willing to make to break through your barriers?

In this episode, Taylor Clark joins me to discuss her journey, how her conversation with Gary Vee completely changed her world, and helped her find her path. 

 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

-Comparison is the thief of joy

Your journey is unique, and comparison only distracts you from your own progress. What could you achieve if you focused entirely on your path instead of someone else's?

-Genuine influence or vanity metrics

A strong social media presence can give you a competitive edge, but vanity metrics like bought followers can distort true influence. How do we build genuine influence online instead of just chasing vanity metrics?

-Three feet from gold

Success is often just beyond the point where most people give up. What if the breakthrough you’ve been chasing is just one more step away?
