Good Money with Derrick Kinney

[As part of our summer series, we’re re-releasing 8 of our all-time favorite and most popular episodes. These are conversations listeners like you have RAVED about. Each episode has simple, practical takeaways that can be easily implemented to grow your business]

When my guest Codie Sanchez left her job on Wall Street, people thought she was crazy. But Codie knew that true success meant building streams of income that don’t require you to trade your time for money.

So she decided to focus on a niche that few investors even think about: boring businesses. Today, Codie has built a portfolio of 25 “boring businesses,” like laundromats and car washes, that generate eight figures in passive revenue. Sure, boring businesses might not be flashy like creating the next Uber, but they are reliably profitable.

In this episode, Codie is going to show you how you can invest in boring businesses and use them to create lasting wealth. Plus, Codie reveals why you can’t save your way to generational wealth and the secret to being an incredible deal maker. (And I ask Codie a pretty candid question at the end that you might relate to.)

My guest today says you could be one meeting or one relationship away from changing your life. And you’re going to want to hear the incredible stories he shares that prove it. Ed Mylett is a nationally recognized speaker and coach to top athletes, celebrities, and business executives.

What Ed shared with me in this conversation changed the way I think about problems and success—and I bet he’ll do the same for you, too.

It’s the biggest lie in personal finance you can believe: You’re either born with financial knowledge or you’re destined to become a financial failure forever. And there’s no between. 

That is completely false—and my guest today is ready to flip the script on everything you thought you knew about money. While working as an elementary school teacher, Yanely Espinal decided to change her financial life by paying off $20,000 of debt in just 18 months. Then in 2015 she started a YouTube channel to help others learn the money skills she never learned in school called MissBeHelpful. And it has over 2.5 million views, 

Today, Yanely works with a nonprofit called Next Gen Personal Finance, where she’s on a mission to ensure every high school student gets a full semester of personal finance education. And she’s the author of the new book, Mind Your Money. 

In our conversation, Yanely reveals why her understanding of money was rooted in shame and embarrassment for so long and the biggest lies so many students and entrepreneurs believe about money. Plus, how she was able to pay off $20k of debt as a teacher and why lending money to a friend can be a huge mistake. This is a no-shame and candid money conversation I think you’ll love.

As a personal trainer, Pete Maldonado struggled to find healthy snacks that were truly clean, high in protein and easy to enjoy on the go. In 2012, Pete and his business partner Rashid Ali created a grass-fed beef jerky stick company called Chomps. They started selling meat sticks direct-to-consumer through Facebook ads out of Pete’s spare apartment bedroom. 

Chomps was profitable within the first 30 days. And now, nearly 10 years later, Chomps is one of the fastest growing snack brands in the country. Today, Pete and Rashid reveal how they got Chomps to be profitable so quickly. And I’ll give you a hint: They taught themselves to do everything and threw their ego to the curb. 

Plus, they share why you should throw the start-up playbook out the window and when to ignore advice if it doesn’t agree with your gut. Rashid and Pete give a really powerful example of what that looks like. They’re getting honest and real about what it really takes to bootstrap a snack brand successfully. And the decisions they made that people thought were crazy—but have paid off big time.
