This episode is just a little stitch if you will for my online community ATHENE. I recommend an episode of the game, the podcast produced by Alex Hormozi.

Creating the life you want is about doing the things that need to be done in the order that they need to be done . In the beginning, it’s always money. Money can’t give you happiness, but it sure can make it easier to find.

I found happiness with money. I wouldn’t have the life that I have right now if it wasn’t for money. That money was not derived from any hard work, not any sacrifice that I had to endure, nor did it come from anything other than me being lucky to be born into the right family.

It’s how I leverage that luck, the knowledge I gained from listing and Learning from my family that had earned, toiled, and sacrificed in order for me to have that advantage.

Brandi Jo Newman provides a market update, reflecting on her personal experience with the Trump tariffs during his first administration. She shares an anecdote of a client who was impacted by the 25% tariff on Chinese goods, opting to switch to a vendor in Vietnam to avoid tariffs. Brandi Jo discusses the ongoing Trump 2.0 tariffs, including a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum, but downplays any major immediate effects on industries like car manufacturing. She predicts significant market volatility through 2026, with no clear direction until potential changes in Federal Reserve policies, such as reducing interest rates. Brandi Jo concludes by expressing her belief that lowering taxes and the cost of money could lead to a prosperous future for America.
