June 08, 2020 22:00 - 45 minutes - 31.5 MBWelcome back to the week listeners! To get back into the flow of things, Steve is looking back and wondering a relatively simple question: Why isn't the knowledge of financial independence getting passed down generationally?

An interesting habit has formed over a long period of time for the financial lower and middle class and unfortunately it is doing more harm than it would lead everyone to believe at first glance.

April 28, 2020 23:00 - 45 minutes - 31.3 MBHello listeners! A good teacher knows that not all of their students can or should be taught the material in the same way. With that maxim in mind, Steve is turning a lot of the lessons that he has been teaching on his shows on their heads and teaching them in a different way today. The theme of today is "Don't".
