From Wall Street to Your Street

Some plans don’t collapse — they catch fire. And sometimes, that’s the only way to see what’s real. In the Campfire Conversations season finale, we talk about what happens when the plan you built no longer fits the life you’re living. About clarity, release, and the rebuild that follows when you finally let it all burn. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, this o...

This week, we’re pulling up chairs for one of the toughest—but most important—campfire talks yet. Between the burnt marshmallows and the background chaos, we’re diving into the money conversations families keep avoiding: college costs, care plans, inheritances, and everything in between. It’s not about spreadsheets or perfect timing—it’s about creating moments of honesty, understanding, and connec...

From childhood money scripts to the way crises pull us back i...

You know that thing you’ve been putting off? This episode is about that. In Week 2 of Campfire Conversations , Ryan shares the quiet (but costly) ways financial avoidance shows up—late-night anxiety, unmade decisions, “I'll get to it next week” loops—and what it really costs us over time. From cars that rattle to relationships we tiptoe around, this episode is a smoky-eyed look at the weight w...

We all have a money story—whether we realize it or not. It’s the quiet script that shapes how we spend, save, invest, and even feel about money.

We all like to think we’re pretty good at this investing thing — but overconfidence bias has a way of showing up just when we feel most sure of ourselves.
