    Digital Dementia, Biohacking, and Why Your Brain Is Your Biggest Wealth Asset | Jim Kwik

    Jim Kwik has coached Fortune 500 companies, Oprah, Will Smith, and Richard Branson on how to think faster and remember more. Today, he joins Nicole to explain why your brain, not your bank account, is your greatest wealth building asset. Jim breaks down what he calls "digital dementia," the MIT study showing what AI is doing to our memory and critical thinking, and why he believes AI will not replace humans so much as reveal them. He also gets into the emotional side of wealth: why purpose beats motivation, how tiny "micro-commitments" trigger the dopamine that actually creates momentum, and why self-image, not goals, determines what we achieve. Then, Nicole puts Jim's favorite biohacks to the test, and he rates everything from walking and sauna to meditation and TikTok on a scale of 1 to 10. Jim also shares the real story behind a $50 million deal that fell apart because of a forgotten name, his 12-minute morning routine with his toddler, and the writing ritual he started in the hospital the day his daughter was born.

    I Put My Toddler on Payroll. Here's Why.

    A listener named Lauren DMed Nicole with a simple question: what is she doing to make sure her daughter has more money than she did growing up? Today, Nicole answers in full, walking through the exact accounts, strategies, and tax moves she is using to build wealth for her toddler from day one. Nicole breaks down the three accounts she opened for her daughter (a 529, a custodial Roth IRA, and a custodial brokerage account), why she gifts directly into the 529 for every holiday, and how she is legally paying her daughter through her business to shift income into a lower tax bracket. Tax strategist Karlton Dennis joins with a clip explaining the rules around paying your kids: what counts as reasonable compensation, how the standard deduction plays into it, and why starting a custodial Roth IRA early can turn a few thousand dollars into over a million by retirement. Nicole also gets into the life insurance decision every parent needs to make. She explains the real difference between term and whole life insurance, why she chose term for her family, and when whole life actually does make sense.

    The Best (and Worst) Businesses to Buy in 2026

    You know Codie Sanchez as the woman who made buying a laundromat sound cooler than launching a startup. Today, she's back to talk about her new book, Own or Be Owned, and why so many founders are secretly addicted to their own businesses. Codie explains why being "the hero" of your company is a trap (she compares it to heroin), the 12 owner archetypes she discovered after surveying 15,000 business owners, and why the goal isn't to work harder, it's to become unnecessary. She also gets real about the parts of founder life nobody talks about: the years she put her personal life on hold chasing a revenue number, the fear of telling her team she was pregnant, and why she now believes "later" almost never actually comes.

    Building a Guilt Free Budget (Listener Intervention)

    Kate has good money habits. She's saving, she's investing, she's automated her high-yield savings account. So why does she still feel like she's behind? Today, Nicole sits down with a Money Rehab listener for a real-life financial intervention, digging into the exact questions so many 20-somethings are quietly Googling at 1am. Kate walks Nicole through her real numbers: what she earns, what she spends, and how she's splitting money between a Roth IRA, a brokerage account, and student loan payments. Nicole breaks down the actual mechanics she never learned, like why you need cash in the account before you can buy anything, how to think about a Roth versus a brokerage account, and whether it's smart to max out one before touching the other. They also get into the emotional side of money: the guilt Kate feels every time she spends, why her financial goals always seem to move further away the more she achieves, and how giving herself a real number for guilt-free spending changes everything.

    The Rapper Who Made $400K Reading the Market

    He's the guy behind "Betty (Get Money)" and a fur coat two-step that took over TikTok, but before Yung Gravy was flexing platinum plaques, he was studying finance and marketing in college. Today on Money Rehab, we sit down with the rapper who lives a double life: viral hitmaker by night, options trader by day. Gravy walks us through the trade that made him $400K, a bet on 1-800-Flowers stock at the start of COVID, built on a grim but accurate read that funeral orders were about to spike. It's the kind of call institutional investors make quietly all the time; Gravy just said the quiet part out loud, and the internet has been arguing about the ethics of it ever since. We get into how a music-industry paycheck, unpredictable, front-loaded, gone as fast as the trend that made it, pushed him to actually learn the market instead of just spending like a rapper. What it's like sitting in a room with a finance background while everyone assumes you can't do math because you rap about money instead of manage it. Where the rap flex ends and the real portfolio begins. And whether the same instincts that write a viral hook are the same instincts that spot an undervalued stock before anyone else does.

    4 Money Lessons From the Stars of Selling Sunset

    Selling Sunset isn't just a show about real estate, drama, and outfits... it's a show about money. Over the past few years, Nicole has had four cast members from the Selling Sunset universe on Money Rehab: Jason Oppenheim, Emma Hernan, Mary Bonnet, and Polly Brindle. Today, she's pulling out four moments from those conversations that she hasn't been able to stop thinking about. Jason, one of the most successful real estate brokers in LA, makes a confession you'd never expect from someone who sells homes for a living: renting often beats buying, financially speaking. Mary opens up about the ex-husband who secretly ran up six figures of debt in her name, and the exact tactic she used to rebuild her credit score from scratch. Emma explains why she's turned down millions in outside investment for her company and what she thinks is broken about "Shark Tank culture." And Polly gets brutally honest about maxing out three credit cards, borrowing from friends, and the mindset shift that turned her financial life around.

    Attorney James Sexton on How to Get Divorced Without Going Broke

    Divorce attorney James Sexton is back for part two of his conversation with Nicole; in part one, he talked about advice for couples getting married. Today, he’s giving advice for people getting divorced. Nicole and James dig into the financial habits that sabotage marriages, the creative ways people hide money before filing, and the red flags that signal a spouse might be planning an exit. Plus, James gives simple advice on what might be the most complicated part of this process: how to tell your spouse you want a divorce. James also breaks down how alimony actually works, the best argument for keeping the house, and the negotiating tactics he uses to fight for a bigger settlement. Then things get spicy: the digital footprint mistakes blowing up divorces in real time, the unofficial "a-hole tax" judges impose on bad behavior in court, and the wild story of a $20 million divorce that almost collapsed over a toaster oven.
