1771: The ROI of Being a Good Human: Why Kindness Pays Off

As we enter a new year, many of us are thinking about fresh starts, big goals, and how we can make more meaningful contributions—whether in our personal lives or at work. But what if the key to achieving that isn’t about working harder or chasing success the traditional way? What if the secret lies in something as simple and powerful as kindness? In today’s episode, we dive deep with [James Rhee] (https://www.redhelicopter.com/about-james) , an educator, impact investor, CEO, and author of [Red Helicopter: A Parable for Our Times] (https://www.amazon.com/red-helicopter_a-parable-our-times/dp/0063317141) . James is best known for his transformative leadership at Ashley Stewart, where he not only revived a struggling retail brand but turned it into a community-driven powerhouse by weaving kindness, empathy, and purpose into every decision. A Harvard Law graduate and former high school teacher, James has a remarkable ability to bridge the worlds of high finance and human-centered leadership. We discuss how a childhood experience with a red helicopter shaped his lifelong philosophy, his journey from teaching to private equity, and the surprising parallels between math and creativity. James also delves into the role of AI in shaping society and why now, more than ever, leaders must embrace humanity and creativity to drive lasting impact. ... Read more

1763: The Power of Saying ‘Enough’: A New Blueprint for Success

What happens when you decide to walk away—from burnout, expectations, from a life that looks ‘successful’ on the outside but leaves you feeling hollow inside? My guest today, [Faye McCray] (https://fayemccray.com/) , has lived that transformation. A high-achieving lawyer turned storyteller, strategist, and wellness advocate, Faye made the bold decision to leave corporate life and redefine success on her terms. We’ll explore what led her to this breaking point, how she navigated the uncertainty of starting over, and how she’s helping others bridge the gap between their personal identities and professional lives. Faye opens up about her lessons on slowing down, prioritizing health, and finding fulfillment beyond titles and accolades. Plus, we talk about breaking free from ‘hustle culture,’ redefining work-life balance, and why it’s okay to end the year strong—without crossing every item off your to-do list. If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or wondering how to make peace with your pace, this episode is for you. And yes, we even revisit the wild story of how our friendship began in the streets of Charlotte. Join the [So Money Members Club] (http://www.somoneymembers.com/) .

1762: The #1 Framework for Modern Couples to Manage Money

Most couples struggle to get on the same page regarding money and relationships. Less than 40% of married couples discuss their finances in detail—a staggering statistic that often leads to miscommunication, conflict, and, for some, divorce. But today’s guests, Jessica and Brandon Norwood, are trying to change that narrative. Jessica and Brandon are the dynamic duo behind [The Sugar Daddy Podcast] (https://www.thesugardaddypodcast.com/) , a show dedicated to helping millennials break the stigma around money conversations and build wealth as a team. As a married couple who have navigated everything from student loans to merging their financial lives, they bring a wealth of personal and professional insight. Jessica, a tech professional and the breadwinner in their family, and Brandon, a licensed financial planner, have developed a proven 5-step framework for creating financial harmony in relationships. In this episode, we dive into: ---The importance of shared values and financial alignment—why dreaming big as a couple is key. ---Tackling financial dealbreakers—and why financial infidelity might be a red flag you can’t ignore. ---What it’s like being a female breadwinner—and how Jessica and Brandon embrace modern parenthood and partnership. ---And a bold take on affording kids—why waiting for financial “readiness” might mean you’ll never leap.

1759: Your #1 Asset Isn't Money. It's Time. Here's How to Make the Most of It.

Today’s conversation will change your thoughts about time—our most precious and often overlooked currency. Returning to the show is Heather Chauvin, a dynamic speaker, coach, and author whose wisdom on time management is nothing short of transformative. Heather’s journey began in a crucible of crisis—a stage-four cancer diagnosis. Still, from that challenging moment, she built a revolutionary approach to owning and investing time to live richly and intentionally. In this episode, Heather and I dive into her signature concept of "energetic time management," where time isn’t just about productivity or calendars; it’s about aligning your energy, values, and desires to create a life that feels as good as it looks. She shares the origin of this system, the profound realizations she had while juggling motherhood and a career, and why most of us are in what she calls "time debt." Heather explains how to break free, set boundaries, and treat time like money—because every moment matters. We’ll also talk about practical strategies: building a dream calendar and redefining your relationship with time. Also: Why outsourcing isn't a luxury—it’s a necessity for creating space to thrive. Plus, Heather offers profound insights for women navigating the dual roles of professional ambition and domestic responsibility without losing themselves.

1756: How to Quit Your Job (Encore)

A new study reveals that more people want to quit their jobs now than during the Great Resignation. Whether it’s to find better-paying work to address the rising cost of living or simply to leave their company or industry and start fresh on a professional path they actually enjoy, the big question remains: Will they quit? Our guest today is helping people overcome that hurdle. [Goli Kalkhoran] (https://lessonsfromaquitter.com/about/) is a Master-Certified Life Coach and former attorney who helps unfulfilled professionals create a career (and life) they genuinely enjoy. She hosts the Lessons from a Quitter podcast, where she de-stigmatizes quitting and offers resources and inspiration for individuals looking to pivot in their established careers. In this episode, we discuss why our culture is so afraid of quitting, how to afford to leave — financially and energetically -- and Goli’s journey of quitting her law career and the many pivots that followed.
