78: How to Be the Boss of Your Money
June 27, 2019 10:00 - 19 minutes - 18.1 MBIf you’re a business owner or entrepreneur, you may already feel like the boss of your money. After all, you’re pretty much solely responsible for what goes in and what comes out, right? But as many entrepreneurs and biz owners know, that can also lead to a lot of stress.

June 13, 2019 08:30 - 20 minutes - 18.4 MBIf there’s one thing we know about today’s business owners and entrepreneurs, it’s that they’re breaking the mold. They’re not doing business like previous generations, and they’re using their money, products, and services to make the world a better place.

More and more Millennials, Gen Z’ers, and even Baby Boomers are choosing to invest in socially responsible businesses and to be “select...
75: What Legacy Do You Want to Leave?
June 06, 2019 09:30 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MBWhen you think about legacy, do you think about inheritances or a last will and testament?

72: Pitfalls Series: Investing in the Wrong Team
May 16, 2019 08:30 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MBAs part of the Pitfalls Series, Dustin and Danielle are talking about investing in the wrong advisory team. When you start your business, you may hire an assistant, a graphic designer, or some other professional who helps you execute and deliver your daily work.

67: Investing vs. Spending: Mindset and Differences
April 11, 2019 08:30 - 22 minutes - 25.2 MBWhen it comes to spending money, it’s easy to see everything as an expense. Taxes cut out of your take-home pay, your car’s tires eat into savings, and groceries just keep getting more expensive.

On the Worth It podcast, Dustin and Danielle are discussing the investing vs. spending mindset and how it can be beneficia...

65: Self Employment + Retirement: Life in Retirement
March 28, 2019 08:30 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MBWhat’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word “retirement”? For some, it conjures up images of golf courses, RVs, and days spent measuring blades of grass. And for many people, especially those from younger generations, those images are enough to keep them working forever. But Dustin and Danielle don’t think retirement has to be like that. In fact, on this week’s episode of Worth It, they’re asking listeners to reframe their definition of retirement altogether. Then, once you ...

63: Self Employment + Retirement: Work-Optional Lifestyles
March 14, 2019 08:30 - 16 minutes - 18.5 MBNot everyone dreams of retirement and retirement means something to different to today’s generation — especially if you’re an entrepreneur or business owner. But even if you don’t plan on calling it quits permanently one day so you can hang out with your grandkids or curse at your neighbors for walking on your lawn, you might want to have some money in the bank. Why? So you can do whatever the hell you want, that’s why. This week on Worth It, Dustin and Danielle are digging into what it ...

59: How to Stay in Love With Your Business
February 14, 2019 09:30 - 27 minutes - 31.2 MBWhen you first started out in your business, you were probably so excited to get to work each morning, to see the ball start rolling and to watch the progress you were making. In that “honeymoon phase” of business-building, it’s so easy to love your business and feel fulfilled in your work. But what happens when that initial excitement wears off?
