Sometimes we see people who eat healthy, exercise, work on their side hustle on the weekend, or say no to a night out when it isn't in the budget and we think "it's easy for them because ___." But consider this, David Goggins who was a Navy Seal and continues to train as if his life depended on it said it best, "I don't want to do this Sh**!" We have to push past the point that makes us uncomfortable so we can reap the benefits of life's challenges and grow. Scientifically speaking the Bolt Score measures the sensitivity of your carbon dioxide receptors and the time it takes for your body to react to a lack of air. Breathing exercises will improve your sleep, health, and fitness levels. No matter what your bolt score is, we all have that point where we feel the urge to breath, just like we all have a point where we become uncomfortable and don't want to do something. We must push past that point on the pursuit of continuous self-improvement. Healthywealthyandwisepodcast.com

Kyle Gautreau is a former Propulsion Design Engineer at Space X under the famous entrepreneur/inventor Elon Musk. Frances Buerkens is a scientist & graduate from Berea College in KY, she has experienced a 9 month solo road trip around the country, she currently sells high-end laboratory equipment to monitor water quality. Both of them have made a career shift and are now real estate investors and they have built on their partnership and relationship through this endeavor. They are an amazing example of how balancing out hard work with their passions (rock climbing & hiking) leads to far greater success than trying to log “hours”.  Their motivation to become financially independent through real estate is not just to free up time for fun passions, but also to work on problems that they feel are very important such as environmental sustainability, responsible agriculture, and financial literacy.  In this episode you’ll learn about:  What financial independence can do for your life and what true “retirement” is Why it is so important to balance work and play What a real estate syndication is and the cycle of learning, operating, and investing How to handle “negative” influences as you learn, fail, and eventually find success “TV and the news highlights how different we all are, but travel highlights how we are all the same” - Frances Buerkens (the most quotable person I have ever met!) 

If you aren’t yet in college or are thinking of going back:  You don’t NEED to get a masters degree or a fancy certification to become wealthy. In fact, with the recent growth of technology, I think these types of designations are becoming more and more irrelevant. I mean, I can start a profitable business on my smartphone and learn everything I need from YouTube and books. (95% of what I know about personal finance is NOT from school, and the only reason I give school 5% is because I took a class where I managed $3M of real money and the professor owned his own practice.  If you do have student loans:  You’re not alone: Student loans are “good” debt and provide a high ROI. If you spend $50,000 on school to earn an extra $50,000 per year on average, that’s a 100% ROI, not bad! The average balance of student debt is $37,000, BUT 3% of graduates have roughly over $200k Lastly, the population of people over 60 still making payments is more than double now than it was in 2007. 60?! You should be retired by then!  So how can I get rid of this debt?  Do not just pay the minimum, your balance will only grow due to interest Automatic payments can lower your rate by 0.25% Follow a budget (step 1 of Matt’s 4 steps). Following a budget will instantly feel like you got a raise because there will be a PLAN for your money.  Bad debt needs to be taken care of first, especially if they are small. Decide how much of your budget will be committed to paying off this debt. It is non-negotiable, out the door before you see it.  Simultaneously grow an emergency fund so if you have an unexpected event, you don’t fall off course in your debt free journey.  You only have so much income, so you may have to make sacrifices: bars, concerts, restaurants with tips ((if you can’t afford to tip someone well then you can’t afford to eat out), monthly payments like Netflix or the gym (yes you can always run outside and do body weight stuff at the house). Get a side hustle to increase income: Uber, deliver food, Fiverr Don’t expect an “easy way out” - humans have a tendency to not value things that are FREE. Example: Waiting on an inheritance (TERRIBLE), expecting a politician to solve your problems, hoping someone feels bad for you in the family, marrying rich You’ll be surprised what you can accumulate once you are on a budget and a plan. Once everything is under control, don’t let your kids make the same mistake.  Look forward to being debt free. You won’t be “behind” because you’ll be ahead of the 45 million Americans who have a cumulative $1.6 trillion in student debt. You’ll also learn a lot of important financial literacy & life lessons along the way This will cause you to be very prosperous once the debt killing phase is over and you can move on to the wealth accumulation phase Hard things make us better David Goggins “It’s so easy to be great nowadays because everyone else is weak” “Everybody wants a quick fix. You may get results, but they won’t be permanent (6 min abs). The permanent results come from you having to suffer.”

COVID-19 Social Distancing Consider the bigger picture and take the Coronavirus seriously, even if you feel confident, you could get someone else sick who doesn’t have as good of an immune system as you. While many of us are still working just as much (God bless everyone working in hospitals), there are less “other” things we are doing which creates more time on our hands than we are used to. While we spend this time in smaller groups or alone, we should rest and reflect on our lives - but we can also be productive, this episode dives into these productive ideas:  -Johns Hopkins Map https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html -Things you can get done Start Reading (https://www.healthywealthyandwisepodcast.com/bookclub) Start a podcast (https://www.healthywealthyandwisepodcast.com/start-a-podcast) Start a business Organize your personal finances (START A BUDGET)  Create a meal plan / exercise plan
