“We Made It… Then We Moved: Wealth, Ego, and Choosing Ease”

After two-and-a-half years in our “dream” Austin home—saltwater pool, hill-country views, the whole Pinterest board—we decided to sell. 

In this raw, funny, super-honest conversation, Rebecca and her husband/COO 

Brandon unpack the real math and energetics behind that choice: the ego hits, the conditioning around homeownership, the hidden costs (hello, $20K AC), and how a million-dollar year followed by a revenue dip still led to more net worth.

We talk about:

• Why “buying a house = success” was baked into our brains—and what changed
• House-poor vs. wealth-building: when a beautiful home quietly siphons momentum
• Friendship dynamics, visibility, and being seen as an “ATM” in business
• Investing basics that actually multiply (ETFs, long-term plan, <5% position sizing)
• The coaching industry’s “always invest at your edge” narrative—and a saner path
• Choosing a rental that fits our lifestyle (and saves ~$5.5K/month) to unlock ease, creativity, and better business performance

If you’ve ever wrestled with lifestyle creep, misaligned investments, or the pressure to keep up appearances, this one’s your permission slip to pick alignment over optics—and to let your money strategy be masculine, steady, and boring (a.k.a. effective).
