In today's episode, I sit down with Jason Brown to talk about money, mistakes, and second chances. Jason shares how he once lost a lot of money in the stock market, then learned simple rules to trade smarter and win back his confidence. We talk about living below your means, making a short “sacrifice season,” and building habits that help your family for the long run. Jason explains options in plain language, why taking small profits adds up, and how to keep your cool when prices jump around. You’ll hear real stories about paying off a house, starting with little, and turning lessons into a plan anyone can follow.

About our guest:
Jason Brown is a stock market expert, power options trader, entrepreneur, and author who teaches the world how to confidently own their financial situations and feel empowered while doing so. Jason’s upcoming book, 5 Year Millionaire, is inspired by the pathway that led him to making his first million in just five years. Brown grew up in Detroit, Michigan and garnered motivation from his upbringing as a child who slept in a sleeping bag on the floor in his family’s home with bars on the windows, and who boldly navigated around drugs and gangs in his neighborhood, to acquire the lifestyle he always dreamed of. The term “power trading” has emerged from his journey in addition to the understanding that truly anyone can use the stock market to trade their way into their ideal lifestyle. Jason says, “it’s all about finding the right trades, applying the right option strategy, mixed with giving the stock enough time to do what you believe it’s going to do”.

Today, Jason is completely debt free, has paid off his home, and is married with two children. The Brown Report and Power Trades University are two platforms he utilizes to help his clients retrain and rewire their thought processes for comebacks no matter the financial situation that they are currently in. In Jason’s upcoming book, he highlights the mathematical fact that the average person can become a millionaire within 5 years from the stock market. Jason has been featured on Smart Passive Income podcast, The Mind Your Business podcast, His and Her Money with Talaat and Tai, and the Passive 25k podcast.

In today's episode, I sit down with Abbe F. Large to talk about caring for aging parents while raising our own kids. We keep it real and simple. We cover the three phases of money and the three buckets to save and spend from. We talk about long term care, life and disability insurance, and how to build steady income in retirement. You will learn when a reverse mortgage or HELOC might help, and when it won’t. We share easy scripts to start money talks with your parents, plus steps for a care plan, powers of attorney, wills, and trusts. My goal is to help you protect your paycheck, your peace, and the people you love.
