    How Wealthy Pro's Spend Their Money

    In this episode of the Be Wealthy Podcast, Brett Tanner and co-host Katelyn Mitchell break down how wealthy agents actually think about money—and why most people struggle to build lasting wealth despite high incomes. Together, they walk through practical financial models the wealthy use to make better decisions around spending, saving, housing, investing, and retirement. Brett and Katelyn explain how to calculate the net worth and passive income you truly need to live your ideal life, why burn rate matters more than you think, and how expectations play a major role in happiness. This conversation is a step-by-step guide for agents and entrepreneurs who want clarity, structure, and confidence in their financial decisions—so money supports freedom, not stress. 🔑 TOP TAKEAWAYSWealth starts with better decision-making models. High earners still struggle without clear financial frameworks.Burn rate is the foundation of every financial plan. You can’t build wealth if you don’t know what you actually spend.Net worth and passive income must grow together. Tracking both gives a clearer picture of long-term freedom.Housing decisions shape your entire financial future. Being “house rich and cash poor” delays freedom.Saving 20% is the minimum standard. Consistency matters more than perfection.Growing income beats extreme expense cutting. There’s a limit to what you can cut—but income growth is scalable.Wealth is a long-term game. Gamifying progress helps maintain discipline and momentum. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Welcome and episode overview 01:00 – Why wealthy people use financial models 05:00 – Business models vs personal money decisions 10:30 – Expectations, happiness, and net worth 15:00 – Why burn rate matters 19:00 – Housing decisions and the 30% rule 24:30 – Net worth targets and retirement math 30:00 – Tracking passive income vs net worth 35:30 – Expense discipline and lifestyle inflation 41:00 – Saving 20% and eliminating waste 47:00 – Gamifying wealth and long-term planning 52:00 – Three-step framework to build wealth 56:00 – Final action steps and closing thoughts RESOURCES & MENTIONS📚 Books & Thought Leaders MentionedBuy This, Not That – Sam DogenThe Seven Day Weekend – Ricardo Semler 🧮 Tools & Resources Mentioned (Explicitly Referenced)Be Wealthy Calculator👉 https://bewealthycalculator.com(Referenced for modeling retirement and children’s Roth planning)Be Wealthy Spreadsheets & Exercises(Brett and Katelyn explicitly state these will be included in the show notes) 🧠 Key Concepts DiscussedBurn Rate Tracking20% Savings RuleNet Worth vs Passive IncomeHousing Expense Ratios (30% Rule)Financial Models for Life DecisionsGamifying WealthIncome OptimizationLong-Term Financial Planning 🚨 BE WEALTHY WEBSITE 🚨 👉 www.BeWealthy.com 📱 Follow Be Wealthy: Facebook:a...

    Why The Wealthy Think Like Bankers

    In this episode of the Be Wealthy Podcast, host Brett Tanner sits down with financial educator and infinite banking expert Kyle Fuller to unpack how wealthy individuals think differently about money, liquidity, and control. Kyle shares his personal journey growing up in a large family, witnessing financial hardship during the 2008 crisis, and how those experiences shaped his philosophy around cash flow, reserves, and long-term wealth planning. Together, Brett and Kyle break down why education must come before investing, how poor liquidity destroys otherwise good strategies, and why following the crowd is one of the fastest ways to lose money. This conversation dives deep into infinite banking, wealth foundations, cash flow over net worth, and how to build a financial system that creates freedom — not stress. 🔑 TOP TAKEAWAYSEducation comes before investing. You must understand the game before you play it.Liquidity is survival. Without reserves, even “good” investments can fail.Cash flow beats net worth. Income today creates freedom; paper wealth does not.Don’t follow the crowd. Investing without a personal strategy leads to losses.Wealth requires control, not complexity. Simple systems outperform scattered strategies.Banks play a different game — and so should you. Learning how banks think changes how you manage money. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Welcome and episode overview 00:45 – Kyle Fuller introduction and infinite banking focus 02:00 – Childhood money environment and family background 04:45 – The impact of the 2008 financial crisis 06:15 – Learning the importance of liquidity 08:00 – Why most people invest without a clear plan 10:00 – Defining investing criteria and risk tolerance 13:45 – Cash flow vs net worth and lifestyle design 16:45 – Money, time, and talent as limited resources 20:30 – Discovering infinite banking and whole life insurance 29:15 – How infinite banking actually works 35:00 – Using policies to finance major purchases 43:00 – Redirecting cash flow and controlling money 51:00 – Car financing example and long-term impact 59:30 – What wealth really means today 01:04:30 – Books, advice to his younger self, and final thoughts RESOURCES & MENTIONSBooks & Concepts Mentioned Becoming Your Own Banker – Nelson NashInfinite Banking ConceptCash Flow vs. Net WorthLiquidity & Financial ReservesRisk / Return / Noise Framework Organizations & Education FACT FinancialBe Wealthy Mastermind ⚠️ GUEST LINKS (KYLE FULLER) Factum Financial Educational ResourcesKyle Fuller & Factum Financial Facebook LinkKyle Fuller & Factum Financial InstagramKyle Fuller & Factum Financial LinkedIn a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCejEL69E5as-505-UjQrveQ" rel="noopener noreferrer"...

    Tax Strategies of the Wealthy: What the Wealthy Do Differently

    In this episode of the Be Wealthy Podcast, Brett Tanner sits down with his longtime CPA, tax strategist, and trusted advisor Brian Muia for a deep dive into entrepreneurship, wealth-building, and advanced tax strategy. Brian shares his journey from growing up with limited resources to building and exiting multiple businesses, including companies in software, steel recycling, and accounting. He breaks down how early lessons around hard work, leverage, and replaceability shaped his entrepreneurial mindset — and why building a business that doesn’t rely on you is the key to true freedom. The conversation goes deep into passive income, leverage, exits, subscription-based businesses, and the latest tax strategies from the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Brian explains how smart planning around depreciation, Section 179, QSBS, and opportunity zones can dramatically accelerate wealth creation for entrepreneurs and real estate investors. This episode blends real-world business lessons, mindset, and highly tactical tax insights every serious entrepreneur should understand. 🔑 TOP TAKEAWAYSHard work is the foundation — leverage creates freedom. Entrepreneurs must learn to replace themselves to build sellable businesses.Wealth is the ability to choose what you work on. True wealth isn’t money — it’s control over your time and focus.Leverage people, systems, and capital early. Businesses grow when you stop doing everything yourself.Passive income takes time — not shortcuts. It can take 10+ years to truly remove yourself from operations.Subscription businesses attract buyers. Recurring revenue models are highly attractive to private equity.Tax strategy accelerates wealth. Smart planning can preserve millions in capital for reinvestment.Replaceability increases business value. If the business can’t run without you, it’s not sellable. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Welcome and introduction to Brian Muia 02:30 – Brian’s upbringing and early money lessons 05:15 – How wealth and freedom are defined 08:00 – First entrepreneurial business and learning leverage 13:00 – Work ethic, discipline, and John Wooden lessons 17:00 – Building a business that doesn’t rely on you 21:00 – Systems, leadership, and becoming replaceable 26:00 – Pivoting, iteration, and entrepreneurship reality 30:30 – Major business exits and scalable thinking 35:00 – Opportunities in trades and subscription businesses 40:00 – Why tax strategy matters for...
