The Playbook With David Meltzer

In today’s episode, I sit down with Sharon Lechter, financial literacy expert, entrepreneur, and co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, to discuss the power of financial education, personal accountability, and building lasting wealth. Sharon shares how shifting from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance can transform our relationship with money and why teaching children financial independence is essential. We also discuss her experiences overcoming barriers as a woman in business, the importance of mentorship, and why entrepreneurs should focus on building assets rather than creating jobs for themselves. Sharon’s perspective on confidence, ownership, and financial freedom offers valuable lessons for every generation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Rob Gill, founder and director of EPIC Financial Strategies, to discuss the hidden costs that affect our wealth, relationships, and decision making. We break down two expenses most people overlook: taxes and the emotional toll of the people and situations around us. I share why someone who generates revenue can still be a liability, how fear and the need to be offended interfere with our productivity, and why awareness creates better choices. We also discuss practical ways to improve communication, increase response rates, and protect the time and energy that ultimately determine how much we keep.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today’s episode, I share how the limitations we experience are often created by the beliefs we attach to our past, rather than the circumstances around us. I explain how to remove the interference of fear and ego, elevate our self-image, and recognize that failure is simply feedback guiding us toward our potential. Most importantly, I share how to apply my AAA strategy, Alignment, Action, and Adjustment, to trust our divine direction, take consistent, everyday action, and create more passion, purpose, and profitability.To join my next free Friday Training sessions, email me at [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Matt Uhler, founder of Amped Success, to discuss what makes a business valuable and how entrepreneurs can position themselves for a successful exit. Matt shares why financial data matters just as much as perceived value, how certain tax strategies can hurt a company’s valuation, and what buyers and sellers should understand before making a deal. We also discuss the importance of communication, service, and keeping your word in an unpredictable business environment. Matt reflects on overcoming childhood adversity, the power of asking better questions, and how small changes in perspective can create opportunities for personal and professional growth.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
