Money Peach

In 2013, I was listening to the Dave Ramsey Show on the radio when he brought up an incredible book called Rich Habits by author Tom Corley. After hearing about the book, and then listening to the interview with Mr. Corley, I immediately purchased the book and finished it that evening. The Rich Habits were so powerful in my own life that I have continued to practice those same ten habits from the thousands of millionaires Tom interviewed for his research for his book all these years later. What are the habits of America’s wealthiest people and what are the habits of the America’s poorest people? Some of what we talk about is obvious, however Tom shares some stories of other habits that none of us would ever even think about. My favorite…”the Hello Call”. Tom Corley is not only an incredible guest to have on the show, but he shares habits you can start creating in your own life right now which will have a direct correlation on your income, net worth, financial security, and overall well-being. All the show no

This is a special day for me and this show - the 50th episode! If you have been listening for a while, you may have noticed a common theme with many of the guests: I either met them at or through the “gym”. I decided to tie all of those guests together by inviting the founders and owners of the CrossFit gym I attend - Brian and Lisa Vayda. In 2012, they were taking a road trip and started dreaming about taking their passion and turning into a business. A few months later, that dream would become a reality. And within a year, the reality was this: they had created the second largest Crossfit gym in the entire state of Arizona! During the interview, we break down why they were able to achieve such a high level of success early on and how they almost lost everything right at the peak of it all. We discuss the ups and downs in starting and keeping the gym alive and some the greatest challenges we all face as entrepreneurs. One of the biggest takeaways from the episode is the very personal story about one of

Leisa Peterson from Wealth Clinic comes on the show to share her story of how she went from working her way up the corporate ladder to completely walking away from it all and going after her dreams as an entrepreneur - both as a business coach and money coach. She shares with us the two unbelievable events she had to endure that will literally leave you speechless (during the recording I was also speechless but my producer did a great job of editing the awkward pause out of the show). Also, we talk about something I have NEVER shared before about myself - meditation. I am a HUGE believer in daily meditation and Leisa and I talk about our own meditation practices; why we continue to do it daily, and the results we have each seen and felt in our own lives. BONUS: Leisa is giving away her WealthFlower Assesment for being a listener of the show. I highly recommend this tool to walk you through the step-by-step method of finding exactly what you want in both life and money and how you will create a plan to ac

Monica recently joined Money Peach as my Facebook Ads coach. We meet twice a week and not only is she helping me understand how to use Facebook Ads to grow my business, she has provided an incredible amount of value in other areas of Money Peach as well. Before we start each coaching call, we usually chit-chat for a few minutes, and just last week she mentioned to me how their family recently paid off $120k in 2 years. Wow! Then we started talking about her business as a Facebook Ads coach and how she had to make the pivot from blogger to coach in order to grow her business at a rapid rate. Lastly, Monica and I were talking about how Facebook Ads are the absolute best way to grow your business, especially when you are just getting started. But, what should you do first and how should you do it? And this is exactly what this episode does…   BONUS: Monica is giving away a Facebook Ads Cheat Sheet Guide inside the episode! All the show notes, links, the Facebook Ads Cheat Sheet, and anything Monica and I mention

Andy Hill is making noise inside the personal finance world. He is the founder of the Marriage, Kids, and Money (MKM) Podcast and the MKM Blog. Recently, I was a guest on Andy’s show when he mentioned to me about paying off all of his debt, including the mortgage, by age 35.   Yes, completely debt free by age 35...holy crap!   I wanted him to come on the show to share how he and his family are making the sacrifices now to pay off everything so they can soon live completely free from debt. Also, Andy does not make a million dollars, he isn’t a trust fund baby, and he has a Monday - Friday job. From the outside looking in, Andy and his wife appear completely normal.   However, they are far from it. How many 35-year-olds do we meet who have paid off their mortgage?   Lastly, if Andy and his wife can turn their dream into a reality, then what is stopping you and I? Andy and I talk about that inside the show...   All the show notes, links, and anything Andy and I mentioned can be found at http://www.moneypeach.com

Joshua Smith from GSD Mode comes on the show and absolutely delivers a ton of value. You will quickly notice he has an incredible amount of energy, which is exactly why he has achieved success in all aspects of life, and at an extremely high level. Joshua was voted top 30th Realtor in America by the Wall Street Journal and recognized as the top 1% Realtor worldwide Joshua also has established an incredible following with his brand GSD Mode and alongside being a successful real estate agent, he has pivoted into the role of a serial entrepreneur. Joshua continues to startup multiple businesses in all different niches and all with tremendous success. From coaching programs, software development, and nutritional supplements - everything Joshua is doing can be traced back to one core belief: Massive goals with massive action and refusing to ever be satisfied.

Toni Anderson runs a 6-figure blog, runs an ecommerce store generating $100k per month, helps other business via consulting (including Money Peach), is the co-host of a wildly successful conference for online marketers and bloggers, hosts her own podcast, and has done all of this as a military wife while raising and homeschooling their 7 children.   Impressive, right?   Whenever I feel myself slipping into the mindset of “this is just too much to handle”, I immediately think of Toni and then get back to work. In this episode she shares with us the story behind her blog, how she monetized it, and how she continues to generate 6 figures through her first business with only a few hours of work each month.   Next we dive into the start of Toni’s very own conference and how she helps others grow their businesses while also building a community of other online marketers and business owners. We talk about the value she is able to deliver by focusing on the things that she says matters most when attending a conferenc

I asked serial entrepreneur and the founder of Dry Farm Wines, Todd White, to come on the show to throw a ton of value at us. First off, Todd has a massive level knowledge on life as an entrepreneur. As someone who has been an entrepreneur since he was 13 years old, Todd shares a ton of what it takes to get started, overcome extreme failure, and focus on the one thing that really matters - providing value to enhance the lives of others. BONUS: Never have I mentioned this before, but I have personally lived on a Ketogenic diet for the past five months. Todd is also a master of ketosis and has been in a ketogenic state for the past 3.5 years. What the heck is Ketosis you say? A ketogenic diet is a high fat, low carb, moderate protein diet with primary benefits of increased health function and high levels of brain function. One of the beautiful byproducts of a ketogenic diet is the incredible rate of fat burning and decreased levels of hunger. To put it simple - people who are are living on a strict keto diet ar

Real Estate Investor Dana Bull comes on the show to talk about how she has built an impressive real estate portfolio starting in her early 20s. Dana has what I would consider extreme work ethic. Not only is she spending time as a real estate agent, she is also working feverishly to find the best properties for her own portfolio, and is also the full-time landlord to the current rental properties her and her husband have acquired thus far. Today she is reaping the benefits of both her hustle as an entrepreneur and also the incredible financial decisions she made at a very early age. Dana provide a ton of value during the interview and touches on... The 1% rule for real estate Extreme savings early on translates into massive opportunity The amount mortgages you can obtain at once with today’s rules The greatest risks and concerns involved with real estate investing Handling the “what ifs” from tenants Going with turnkey properties versus an empty rental Continuing to SACRIFICE NOW to achieve the end result T

George Laughton and his wife Jennifer started the Laughton Team in 2007 and have steadily climbed to become one of the top real estate agents in the entire United States. In fact, George is not only a top 1% real estate agent across the country, but he was also the youngest person to ever be inducted into the RE/MAX Hall of Fame. With that said, I didn’t want to bring George on the show to talk about his success, but rather to discuss WHY he has been so successful. What separates him from the rest of the people trying to do the same thing in his field? What are some of his daily routines? What books does he read, where does he go to learn, who does he look to for mentoring, and how does he continue to improve every single day? During the interview, I asked George, “A lot of this seems so basic...why doesn’t everyone do these same things everyday?” Interestingly enough, George Laughton is asking the same question. BONUS: I of course put George on the spot and asked him to provide a PDF cheat sheet of his o

Behind-the-scenes of how I am growing Money Peach. Over the past few weeks I have interviewed some of the most successful entrepreneurs in their specific niche and have learned a ton myself as the result of having them all on the show. However, all of the entrepreneurs up to this point have (or just about) “made it”. They are wildly successful in both their personal and professional lives, which is why I asked them to come on the show in the first place. But, one thing I haven’t done on the podcast yet is to bring on someone who was still getting started, still finding their way, and still growing their business from the ground up. In this episode I am completely transparent with my own business, Money Peach. What started as an idea (in my bath robe) at my kitchen table has grown into a powerful blog, weekly podcast, and an online training program that stretches all over the United States and now the entire globe! In this episode I share with the the top 10 things I have learned growing my business and th

Hilary Hendershott, MBA, CFP, from Profit Boss Radio is coming on the show to open our eyes to the way we all FEEL about money. What makes Hilary different from much of the finance world is her belief system with money. She believes no matter how much we make, how much we have, or how much we want, our mind controls the flow of money in and out of our life. She is also a self-proclaimed neuroscience geek and has read everything she could find on the psychology behind money behaviors and habits. Her belief system of personal finance goes much deeper than you would have ever thought possible, opening your eyes to many of the questions you have about your own money behaviors. The Best Part of the Episode... We both agree on a many of the same financial principles and beliefs, however there is one key thing we don’t agree on at all - budgeting. Her and I do go back and forth on this “touchy” subject, but I will add she also does an excellent job explaining why she is against budgeting. At the end of the day it

Scott Alan Turner is a debt-free millionaire and the host of his own podcast, The Scott Alan Turner Show. Scott once started out as a self-proclaimed money moron and has completely reshaped the way he approaches his life and money. There is one very interesting thing he did to pay off his mortgage early, which I will let him explain inside the episode. For the past year, Scott’s show has been one of a few podcasts I find myself listening to over and over again. His philosophy on debt, savings, budgeting, building wealth, and retiring early often beg me to ask the question: “Are we long lost cousins?” In the show, Scott talks about: His love for Metallica, cats, and money
 What he learned from Mom and Dad
 How he became a Money Moron
 Emergency Funds Dos and Don’ts
 Marriage and money
 Paying off mortgage in his 30s
 Do you really want a paid off mortgage?
 At the end of the show, Scott provides all Money Peach listeners with a freebie BONUS! All the show notes, links, and anything Scott and I talked ab

On the show today my guest is John Gaston. John is a close friend of mine, an extremely successful entrepreneur, and was able to retire at age 34. John is also my one on one mentor when it comes to my own business. Over the past few years John has shared a lot with me and I've begged him to come on the podcast to share his incredible story. John is very humble and also very private, so for him to come on this podcast took a lot of arm-twisting on my part. Some of the things John will share with us are: • How he got started and his passion for business
 • Leaving the comfort of a steady paycheck 
• The ups and downs of being an entrepreneur
 • Overcoming extreme adversity
 • Balancing the business and family life 
 • Managing a partnership (with his best friend)

Jeff Jones is an investment advisor and one-half owner of WJ Wealth Management in Phoenix, Arizona. I met Jeff through a mutual friend and one thing I immediately liked about Jeff was his outlook for the future of investing for retirement. He has been in the business for 32 years, yet he his not your typical “old-school” investment advisor. Jeff has the long-term experience and the ability to see the changes from the past and can relate those changes to today’s movement of new-age investing. For example; most traditional investment advisors are not fans of robo-investing (computers replacing humans) as you can only imagine why. However, Jeff fully accepts it and will even explain the value it provides versus what he refers to as “traditional”. Stay tuned for the very end where Jeff shares his view of mutual funds becoming obsolete in the near future and what he says is already replacing mutual funds today.

Jason Beck is the Founder and President of Tyr Tactical. Tyr Tactical creates and manufactures tactical equipment for the next generation warrior. They have the reputation of providing the absolute highest quality combat gear and body armor to both military and police personnel all over the world. Jason started his company from the ground up. I asked him to come on the show to share his truly amazing story of success. Jason comes from extremely humble beginnings, which I am so glad he decided to share with us at the last minute. In addition to sharing some painful memories, Jason also shares his very unique philosophy on the way you treat people and how building relationships is the backbone of his success. “You never know who the smallest guy will be that affects your business the most” Just like the rest of us, he has faced more than his fair share of challenges, AND HE NEVER GAVE UP. Today Tyr Tactical is a multi-million dollar business based in Peoria, Arizona, where they hit $20 million in sales for

This week on the show I am going to switch roles. Instead of hosting the show and interviewing a guest, I am actually going to be the guest! Phillip Taylor from PT Money recently had me on his podcast to explain how to budget when you're living paycheck to paycheck. This is one topic I can talk on for days and after obtaining PT’s permission, I wanted to share the episode here! I don't just discuss the budget, but I also share a quick story with PT of our “ah-hah!” moment: the moment which caused Andrea and I to take back control of our life and money. You're going to love this week’s unique style on the podcast. All show notes can be found at: http://www.moneypeach.com/session35

Nate Adams is a 5-times X Games gold medalist in freestyle motocross. We have been friends since we were 4-years-old and I have watched him go from the neighbor across the street to freestyle motocross and X-Games superstar and legend. I asked Nate to come on the show to share his story and talk money. Over his career, Nate has earned millions of dollars, yet he has always remained extremely grounded to what truly matters and what makes him happy. His unique perspective on life, money, business, and everything in between makes for an incredible episode. Enjoy!
