  • 5 Things the Insurance Industry Doesn't Want You to Know

    5 Things the Insurance Industry Doesn't Want You to Know
    Jan 26 2026
    This week's episode is brought to you by: Facet. They provide you with access to a team of fiduciary CFP® professionals who gets paid to help you—not to sell you whole life insurance to fund their boat payment. New year, new financial plan that actually makes sense. Learn more at joinfacet.com/tyler. Copilot Money. The only finance app I've ever recommended to friends unprompted. Three finance professionals signed up, all three stuck around—which tells you everything. If you want to actually organize your money without turning it into a part-time job, check it out at try.copilot.money/tyler. Gelt. I spent six months doing everything right in my business—automated savings, proper accounting, the works—except I forgot to get a tax strategist. Rookie move. Should've been the first call, not an afterthought. If you're running a small business or a high earner, don't make my mistake. Check out joingelt.com/tyler. And on to the show notes! Most of what the insurance industry sells falls somewhere between unnecessary and borderline predatory. That’s not hyperbole. That’s the point of this episode. Here, Tyler breaks down what insurance is actually for, what you truly need, and why so many popular policies are aggressively oversold, misunderstood, or designed to benefit everyone except the person buying them. This is a blunt, behind-the-scenes look at how insurance really works — informed by Tyler’s time inside the finance industry — and why mixing insurance with investing is almost always a mistake. In this episode, Tyler covers: What insurance is meant to do — protect against catastrophic loss, not build wealth The short list of insurance most people actually need Why whole life insurance is a bad deal for nearly everyone How indexed and variable life policies repackage the same problems with more complexity and fees When annuities can make sense, and when they don’t Why HSAs are one of the most powerful financial tools available, if you’re eligible Along the way, Tyler explains how commissions shape “financial advice,” why bad products stick around, and how to spot sales tactics dressed up as planning. This episode isn’t anti-insurance. It’s about using insurance for what it’s good at — transferring risk — and avoiding products that pretend to be investments. And if the show has helped you avoid a mistake — or ask better questions — leaving a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify genuinely helps. Hope this gives you something useful to think about this week.

  • The 3-Day Workweek Blueprint: How to Buy Back 104 Days a Year | Andy Hill

    The 3-Day Workweek Blueprint: How to Buy Back 104 Days a Year | Andy Hill
    Jan 19 2026
    This week's endeavor in free financial literacy for all, brought to you by: LMNT: You can have all the money in the world, but if you don't feel good physically, none of it matters. For years, I'd finish my morning workout and be foggy-headed with a headache by 1 PM—turns out I was chronically under-hydrated and needed actual electrolytes, not just water. LMNT has 1,000mg sodium, 200mg potassium, 60mg magnesium, and zero sugar that keeps me sharp all day. My routine: one during my workout, then a Sparkling LMNT around 4 PM (Mango Chili is the move). Right now they're offering a free sample pack with any purchase at drinklmnt.com/tyler. Bilt: I spent my late 20s throwing thousands at rent in Vermont while maxing out retirement accounts, feeling like I was getting nothing back. ⁠Bilt⁠ fixes that by turning rent and mortgage payments into actual rewards—flights, hotels, fitness classes, or Amazon purchases. Join at ⁠joinbilt.com/Tyler⁠ and make money you're already spending work harder. Facet: Every January we prioritize physical health like it's the New Year's resolution Olympics, but why don't we give our financial health that same energy? I get hundreds of messages weekly asking for personalized advice, and while I want to help, I can't responsibly address your specific situation in a podcast. That's why I partner with ⁠Facet⁠: you get dedicated CFP® professionals who build actual financial plans tailored to your life, charging a flat fee instead of a percentage of assets. Connect with Facet at ⁠facet.com/tyler⁠ and start 2026 with both your health and your wealth dialed in. And on to the Show Notes! Somewhere between "retire at 30" and "work until 70," there's a middle path. Tyler talks with Andy Hill, host of Marriage, Kids and Money and author of Own Your Time, about how he and his wife reshaped their financial life to work 20–25 hours a week while staying financially secure—without winning the lottery or selling a tech company. This isn't a FIRE hype episode. It's a grounded conversation about tradeoffs, mistakes, marriage tension, and building a life that doesn't feel like a trap. Tyler and Andy discuss why extreme FIRE often breaks down in family life, how "Coast FIRE" creates a realistic middle ground, why income growth matters as much as cost-cutting, how money conversations can go wrong in marriage, and what it actually took to leave corporate work without blowing up financial security. Andy shares three concrete starting steps for anyone who feels stuck or burned out and wants to reclaim control over their time. This episode isn't about escaping work—it's about finding work you don't need to escape from. If the show has been helpful, leaving a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify genuinely helps more people find it.

  • The Rebalancing Lie Every Financial Advisor Tells You

    The Rebalancing Lie Every Financial Advisor Tells You
    Jan 12 2026

Visit joingelt.com/tyler to see if they're the right fit for you and your business. ⁠Fabric⁠: And if you have ANYONE who depends on your income, term life insurance is essential. That's why it's Step 3 in my financial order of operations, long before an emergency savings account or funding a Roth IRA. This is what will actually help the family if something happens to you. And you can get covered in ten minutes from your couch while watching Survivor. Go to ⁠meetfabric.com/tyler⁠ today and get the coverage you need. And on to the show notes! Rebalancing gets treated like financial gospel. Something you must do on a strict schedule, or else you’re somehow being irresponsible with your money. In this episode, Tyler pulls that idea apart. Yes, rebalancing matters — but it’s far less urgent, far less precise, and far less sacred than the financial industry wants you to believe. This is a practical, anxiety-reducing look at what rebalancing actually is, when it’s worth doing, and when you can probably stop worrying and go live your life. In this episode, Tyler breaks down: What rebalancing actually means, and why age-based formulas are mostly nonsense Why goals matter more than age when deciding your allocation When rebalancing barely changes outcomes — and when it actually matters How target date funds handle rebalancing for you, and when they work well How to rebalance yourself without overthinking it, especially inside retirement accounts Why rebalancing in taxable accounts is trickier, and when paying taxes is actually the right move How to rebalance using new contributions instead of selling — and why taxes shouldn’t paralyze you Along the way, Tyler explains why rebalancing isn’t about hitting a perfect allocation, why most people exaggerate its importance, and why alignment beats optimization every time. This episode isn’t about micromanaging your portfolio. It’s about making sure your money still reflects your goals — and knowing when you can safely stop tinkering. If you’ve ever wondered whether you should rebalance, whether it’s worth triggering taxes, or whether you’re overthinking the whole thing — this one’s for you. And if the show has been helpful, leaving a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify genuinely helps. It helps other people find the show and keeps it going. As always, hope this gives you something useful to think about this week.
