1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: Aba fam, It's time for the Baqa, and this week

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: we're doing things a little bit different. I wanted to.

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: We just had Chris Corinthians, the Finland guy, and now

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: you're best friend as far as helping you figure out

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: how to get your kids through college debt free, because

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: I know we got parents of young kids on here

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: and maybe college aged kids too, and y'all need to

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: connect with Chris Corinthians asap. So I thought I would

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: bring out my two favorite gems from this most recent

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: episode for today's show. So I've got Chris's incredible spiel

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: and really enlightening conversation about the scholarship process and how

12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: you can get funding not the traditional way of getting funding,

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: which is through the federal loan system. And I also

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: have Mark's take on investing in the era of you

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: know who. So I want to play those for you now,

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: and I hope you enjoy.

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: You start off harassing me and you guys sticker, and

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: you're talking about my logo.

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: First of all, it's my show, damn it. Second of all,

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: this is not better wallet ambition. Okay, ambition like that all?

21
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: No, can't have it.

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 3: Oh here's our buddy, Chris save me Chris new Chris, Hey, Chris.

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 4: What is oh y'all doing? Family?

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: Ooh at the baritone come through.

25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 4: I'm at my satellite office. My name is Chris Corinthian.

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 4: I go by the Finlack guy and I worked in

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 4: higher ed for almost twenty years. Most of that time

28
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: was spent in the areas of the financial aid of

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 4: financial literacy, and I'm coming up on a year actually

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: doing this full time. So I was working at different

31
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 4: universities for adult educators, at vacational technical schools and traditional

32
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: four years. And during that time I used to see

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 4: students that would drop out for lack of finances or

34
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: you know, going to massive amounts of debt and still

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 4: drop out or finish, but then still had this burden

36
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 4: on them when they graduated. But there were other students

37
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 4: that I saw that would actually go to school debt free.

38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 4: And then I just started studying over the years what

39
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: were the specific habits that they had which allowed all

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 4: of them from various backgrounds to graduate debt free. And

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 4: so that was my focus that along with personal finance,

42
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 4: you know, helping students and parents with the building blocks

43
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 4: of personal finance, right just basic budgeting and how's credit

44
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 4: established and how is it built? Things like that. But

45
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: my focus now is just working with parents of students

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 4: that are going to college or planning to go to

47
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 4: college and showing them how to go to school without

48
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 4: taking out student loans, without debt altogether.

49
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Oh damn, okay, Like what would tell us what's the secret?

50
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: I mean, especially at the time latest when you don't

51
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: know if you're going to have federal aid at all

52
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: for education?

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 4: Right, absolutely, So I'll give the the braw overview a

54
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 4: strategy and then if we want so, we could dig

55
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: deep into it. But there are certain there were several

56
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 4: data out there saying that there's hundreds of millions of

57
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 4: dollars over one hundred million dollars of unclaimed scholarships each year.

58
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 4: So it's not that people are applying for scholarships and

59
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 4: get denied, but it's just free money sitting out there

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 4: for people to go to college and nobody's applying for it.

61
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 4: And so that's the main foundation. So now that we

62
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 4: have that, now, what's keeping people from applying for these scholarships?

63
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 4: And most of the time is they don't know what

64
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 4: to write about when it comes to essays. They don't

65
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 4: know where to find these scholarships right, and they don't

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: have a real strategy on how to apply for it,

67
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 4: because some will apply for maybe five, ten, fifteen scholarships,

68
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: get burned out and they'll say, I didn't win anything.

69
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: It's not going to work for me, right, or some

70
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 4: people think that I have to have little to no

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: money or be of a certain demographic in order to

72
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: get scholarships. But there are several types, and there are

73
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 4: you know, merit based scholarships, which is a lot of

74
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: the focus that we have when we work with our

75
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 4: parents and students as well as other scholarships. But we

76
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 4: don't even focus necessarily on the federal funding. So if

77
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 4: it's here, if it's not, that's just a bonus when

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 4: it comes to the type of money. So we look

79
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 4: at institutional funding. We look at local scholarships where your

80
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: least competitive scholarships will lie so with the school district,

81
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: with your school, with different organizations and businesses, rooting for

82
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 4: the hometown heroes or rooting for those students that are

83
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 4: in their local community. And then when you have those

84
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 4: specific majors that are your tied to, then it just

85
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 4: brings down that competition barrier much lower and increases the

86
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: chances of success. Now, the other thing is it's a

87
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: numbers game and a law of averages game. Right, So

88
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 4: if you apply for five scholarships and expect to go

89
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: to schools that free, most likely you won't get any scholarships, right.

90
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: And so one of the things I talk to students

91
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 4: and parents about is applying for ten times the amount

92
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 4: you need. So if you need fiftyeah, right exactly, and

93
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 4: when you think, let's say you need fifty thousand dollars

94
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 4: to go to school, you need to apply for five

95
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars in order to get the odds in

96
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 4: your favor. Right. So if ninety percent of the scholarships,

97
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: which most of the scholarships you apply for, will reject you,

98
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 4: you'll get denied for most of the scholarships you apply for.

99
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 4: And so we shoot for ten percent success rates. So

100
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: if ninety percent of them say no, you're still good,

101
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: and then apply for at least one hundred and so

102
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 4: we do this thing where we do to today, and

103
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: then that's the focus. If you have your.

104
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 3: Essays, Chris, that sounds cherable.

105
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I know what the money that you're

106
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 4: getting it back end.

107
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, But if you're there, so you're like there to

108
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: hold their hand and like, yeah, coach them through that process, right, absolutely.

109
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: But the hardest thing is just having your five essential

110
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 4: essays because you usually use just the same five over

111
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 4: and over again and just tweak a little bit of

112
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: your story. And once you have that hardest part out

113
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 4: of the way, then all you're doing is wash rents

114
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 4: and repeating. You don't have to look for scholarships because

115
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 4: you have them all there. Now you have your five

116
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 4: essential essays, so all you have to do is copy

117
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 4: paste and tweak, and so you might spend twenty thirty

118
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: minutes a day just click, click send. You have everything

119
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 4: in the drive for you. So now you can spend

120
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 4: twenty to thirty minutes a day and it's not overwhelming.

121
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 3: Has how many of your clients are like, well, can

122
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 3: I just get chat GPT to write this poet?

123
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: So what's interesting is that when because I look, when

124
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: chat GBT first came out, you could just put that

125
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 4: in say hey, I'm going for this scholarship and boom,

126
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 4: boom boom. But now chat has this failsafet where if

127
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: you put it in there, it'll say, no, we can't

128
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 4: respond for scholarship things. So now because what some people

129
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 4: used to do is they say, Okay, here's my information,

130
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 4: here's a scholarship, prompt write me an essay so that

131
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: I can win this. Yeah. Right, But now most of

132
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 4: the organizations are doing their AI check to see if

133
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 4: you're using any type of AI to write your essays.

134
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 4: So you do that, they'll catch you. And a lot

135
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 4: of professors everybody's starting to see if you use any

136
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 4: of those AI AI southward too.

137
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: Get it Ooh okay, all right, hmmm, I mean that

138
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: sounds incredibly useful. But like, as a business, how are

139
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: you making money off? Because you got to you said,

140
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: you've been in this for like a year. How are

141
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: you supporting yourself?

142
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 4: So glad you asked. So when I bring parents and

143
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 4: students in, I assigned coaches to them. So one of

144
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 4: my coaches, she went over a million dollars in scholarships,

145
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: and so she helps them find the scholarship. She just

146
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 4: uses a lot of the same procedures and spreadsheets and

147
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 4: everything that she does, and then she's assigned to him.

148
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 4: I have another guy, as a matter of fact, I

149
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: met him in Fincon two. I have another guy who

150
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 4: actually created a course specifically for writing scholarship essays. He's

151
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: an English teacher, and then he says, there's a difference

152
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 4: writing an English paper than it is for telling a story.

153
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: And then he tucks them through the hero's journey and

154
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: all these other things. And then he's assigned to him too,

155
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: right and so, and then they have the modules and

156
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: everything that they go through. But if they have questions,

157
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 4: they meet with me weekly in a group coaching call,

158
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: and then I answer any of their questions, find out

159
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 4: update statuses along with the other two coaches. So that's

160
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 4: how I get money.

161
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: And then oh, they pay for the group coaches.

162
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 4: They pay for the coaching and the individual coaches. They

163
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: just pay for everything, and I'll walk them through and

164
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 4: then I give them guarantees. So I said, if they

165
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: don't go to school, that't free, and they get one

166
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 4: hundred percent of their money back. Well yeah, because that's

167
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 4: very generous, right, because up to a certain amount. So

168
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 4: it's like they said, Okay, well my school's gonna be

169
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 4: two hundred thousand dollars a year. I'm like, okay, well no.

170
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: Which is like not I mean maybe not per year,

171
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: but certainly like four years. Absolutely, Yeah, that's not unheard.

172
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, but no per year, per year, yeah, absolutely so.

173
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 4: So so I take on all the risks, you know,

174
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 4: as long as you do what you're supposed to do.

175
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 4: And there are a number of things that they need

176
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 4: to do to me, because it's not like, Okay, I

177
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 4: don't do anything and I'm just going to go to

178
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 4: school for free. But as long as they do the

179
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: things they're supposed to do, then we take on all

180
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 4: the risk.

181
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna have to keep your number for when

182
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm sending my kids off the car.

183
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 4: I got you, I got you.

184
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 5: So normally you're talking to the parents directly and then

185
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 5: they basically tell their kid, hey do this.

186
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: Yes, So during the coach and call, is it with

187
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: the parent or.

188
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 4: The it's with the parent and then and the students

189
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: sometimes so sometimes the parent and the student are on

190
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: but a lot of times it's the parent that's going

191
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 4: to make the student do it right because if the

192
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 4: students trying to pay for coach and they're like I

193
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 4: ain't gonna money, they were like, I ain't really doing this,

194
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 4: or but the parent is just like, oh no, you're

195
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 4: doing this because I ain't got the money. I don't

196
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 4: have the money to pay for all of this, and

197
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: you're gonna need to do it. And so far the

198
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 4: students that have worked with us, that have done the

199
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: work got to get scholarships.

200
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: Well that's just yeah. I mean, I think that's such

201
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: important work. And I remember, like and I went to school,

202
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: there was so much more state aid available, Like I

203
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: mean in.

204
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: Georgia, I had the Hope scholarship.

205
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 3: Did you go to school in Georgia, Chris, Yes, yes, yes, okay, yeah,

206
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 3: so we had. I had Hope. But then my brother

207
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 3: who's five years younger than me, behind me, he had

208
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: Hope too, but it wasn't as generous by then. They

209
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: had like made it tougher to qualify for the full

210
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: benefit and like so he graduated with like fifty K

211
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: of student loans and I graduated with eight.

212
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 4: So I it was eighty percent of tuition, whereas Hope

213
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 4: paid for everything. It's like, okay, we'll cover all of

214
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 4: that for you versus eighty percent of just tuition and

215
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 4: not the fees.

216
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: Exactly.

217
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean I did things like work during

218
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: college to pay for my housing. I didn't stay in

219
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: the yard, I didn't pay for the food, the what

220
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: do you call it the meal plan or like the

221
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 3: housing man. But that that and especially going into my field,

222
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: I studied journalism and I graduated during the recession, and

223
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 3: I studied print journalism at that, like on paper, and yeah,

224
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: I wasn't giving like gainful employment after college, and but

225
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 3: thank goodness, I did not have like that much debt,

226
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 3: because it really is like you're starting off your life.

227
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: And the way that they talk about student loans too,

228
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: it's almost as if, well, this isn't really debt. This

229
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 3: is like they really do, and so you almost feel like, well,

230
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 3: it's fine, it's totally fine, but no, it's it's real debt, right,

231
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: be a family's take a quick break and be right

232
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: back for Mark's investing tip of the week. You know,

233
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: if you have any investing tips for this new era

234
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: when there is so much volatility. I talked a little

235
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 3: bit about, like on a previous episode with Chris, about

236
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,119
Speaker 3: how the American stock market is just so like so emotional,

237
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 3: so fickle, and yeah it's constantly swinging.

238
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: But now it's just like woom boom bick. A ping

239
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: pong machine. A ping pong machine doesn't exist like a

240
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: pinball machine. There you go, can you talk about that.

241
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 3: I mean you must get that question from your investing

242
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: community as well.

243
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

244
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 5: No, it's a it's a trying time, especially for anyone

245
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 5: who's a long term investor.

246
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 2: If you're putting money in.

247
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 5: Your four to one K or your IRA, and you're

248
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 5: investing for a long period of time, and you might

249
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 5: see your value go up and go down by big percentages.

250
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 5: I think what is most important is that you focus

251
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 5: on what you can actually control, and that's make sure

252
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 5: you're putting the money in, make sure you're putting as

253
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 5: much money in, and then also controlling how much you're

254
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 5: putting in.

255
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: The stocks and bonds and everything else.

256
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 5: Because what I see all too often is that people

257
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 5: are putting the money into these individual stocks where you

258
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 5: will see more volatility, or even sectors like technology or

259
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 5: healthcare where you know Trump is directly attacking bull So

260
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 5: you have to be careful on how you're alloying your money.

261
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 5: And you want to own everything instead of just owning

262
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 5: one or two companies or even five or ten. Instead

263
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 5: just buy the complete market, buy the SP five hundred,

264
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 5: and then that way you could participate in the growth

265
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 5: of the I want to call it the capitalism in

266
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 5: the United States. But it's basically that the growth in

267
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 5: the companies that we see and hear about every single day,

268
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 5: and on average it goes up, it goes up. So

269
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 5: you will see that short term volatility. You get scared,

270
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 5: but you kind of have to put your blinders on

271
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 5: or you know, focus on the long term instead of

272
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 5: focusing on the day to day because things are gonna happen,

273
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 5: especially over the next four years. The news knows that

274
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 5: if they put Trump in the headlines, people are going

275
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 5: to click on it and it's gonna be whatever he

276
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 5: did that day. So if you focus on hey, like,

277
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 5: I'm gonna ignore that noise. I'm just going to focus

278
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 5: on what I can control. You'll be fine over the

279
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 5: next four years. But if you become an emotional investor,

280
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 5: if you are an emotional investor and you're making short

281
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 5: term decisions for a long term portfolio, you will find

282
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 5: yourself not all too happy with yourself in five to

283
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 5: ten years when we see possibly less volatility.

284
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, thinking about my Peloton stock from twenty twenty.

285
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: Some people don't jump into it.

286
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: They have the house. Listen, we were just in the house.

287
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: I had money.

288
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 3: I was just like, I'm going to play with it,

289
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: and I realized I don't even like to play with money,

290
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: even if I have technically money to lose extra play money.

291
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: No, I don't like it. I should have just put

292
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: it in the dam vtax V stacks.

293
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: What's it called VT stacks?

294
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: VT stacks? Yeah?

295
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Mark, I'm better wallet for that investing guidance.

296
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: And where can people find out more about?

297
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: You have your course?

298
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's called financially a bulletproof investing program.

299
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: So we have that.

300
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 5: Basically, when you graduate from high school or even when

301
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 5: you made your first dollar, you probably had no clue

302
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 5: what to do with your money. And imagine if you

303
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 5: had an actual program, they will tell you, from bu

304
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 5: to paying off debt, to expense planning to all the

305
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 5: way to estate planning, what you should be doing with

306
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 5: their money, even tax management.

307
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: So when I spent so much.

308
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 5: Time in corporate finance, I said, I want to build

309
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 5: a program that streamlines everything for everyone and makes a

310
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 5: complete roadmap from A to Z on what you should

311
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 5: be doing with your money.

312
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,320

Speaker 6: the end, never to the end, never till the end.

366
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 6: So normally it's like at first, like ten to fifteen

367
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 6: minutes especially if you send one.

368
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 3: I don't got time to be individually promoting my show

369
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: to you. All right, Well, brown booths break is either

370
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 3: something that you are, like a resource or a tool,

371
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 3: or something you're excited about, or something in the situation,

372
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: like something in the world that you're really annoyed by.

373
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: It could be tariffs, it could be a new It

374
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 3: could be some guy who like sideswiped your car, you

375
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: know in the parking lot.

376
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: M so annoyed. And what was the first one?

377
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: Brown boost is good? Brown break is something bad? We

378
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: want to like get off our chest.

379
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: M Okay, Chris is prepared, so start.

380
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, bron boost Brown break time, Chris, go

381
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: what's your bron boost?

382
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 4: So I guess it's one of the same, right, So

383
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 4: the brown break is that you know they're potentially federal

384
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 4: funds to pay for college could go away, right, which

385
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 4: will be a lot to make happen. But it was

386
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 4: put out there, right, so who knows what the powers

387
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 4: that be are doing behind the scenes to make that

388
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 4: a reality. But the boost is that you don't have

389
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 4: to rely on that. There are things that you can

390
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: do if you plan accordingly to put yourself in the

391
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 4: best position to still go to school without debt, without

392
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 4: student loans, and even if you don't get those federal grants,

393
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 4: you could get stuff otherwise. So that's my brown boost

394
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 4: brown break.

395
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're boosting yourself because we need to put

396
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,720

421
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 5: Uh? So I would say two things I'm really excited about.

422
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 5: The one that's top of mind for me is Philadelphia

423
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 5: Eagles go into Super Bowl.

424
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 4: Yeah.

425
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: Are you one of those fans. You don't seem like

426
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 3: you're an obnoxious Eagles fan.

427
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 5: I am, but.

428
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 4: You well I do.

429
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 5: It's only really when I'm watching it on TV.

430
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: But I'm not.

431
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 5: I'm not.

432
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 2: You hear the horror stories of Eagles fans. I'm not

433
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 2: that bad.

434
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: Don't climb a pole and die about that.

435
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 4: But I do.

436
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 5: Yes, that's why they grease the polls anytime that Philly

437
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 5: has a they win anything.

438
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: Oh they didn't in grease that one, good enough, they did.

439
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: They also didn't know that.

440
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, I mean, I'm really excited about that.

441
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 5: I am a passionate fan where I expect the best

442
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 5: from the players. But but I'm not the type to

443
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 5: do crazy things to people because they are from the

444
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 5: opposing team. But I'm excited for that going back home,

445
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 5: back to Philly and get to see my my parentals,

446
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 5: biological parentals, So that's going to be happening. And the

447
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 5: other thing I'm really excited about is that there are

448
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 5: a lot of people this year that are looking again

449
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 5: to invest and get their finance together. A lot of

450
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 5: people are saying twenty twenty five is their year, and

451
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 5: they are actually not only talking about it, but they're

452
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 5: actually going and putting pen to paper and putting things

453
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 5: into action. So we've seen the boost and a lot

454
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: of people signing up for my free investing class, which

455
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 5: has been great. And I have the opportunity to teach

456
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 5: people how to invest the right way so they can

457
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 5: invest from themselves or their family members and then make

458
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 5: sure that they don't have to get out the mud

459
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 5: like we had to.

460
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 2: And maybe you know, when your.

461
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 5: Kid turns eighteen or twenty one, whatever it might be,

462
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 5: they have some money put away so they don't have

463
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 5: to struggle. So I'm really excited for that. And then

464
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 5: the other one was not so excited about.

465
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: The brown You don't have to do both, but you can. Oh,

466
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: and it's not that hard. It's boost or break or break.

467
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 5: I am a little fearful of what what might be

468
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 5: rolling out with the administration. I feel like every day

469
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,560
