    Episode 129 – The Financial Conversations You Keep Putting Off

    Some of the most important financial conversations are also the easiest to avoid. In this episode, Jeremiah and Laura talk about the conversations around estate planning, succession, insurance, retirement, and your future that often get pushed off for "someday." The key may be starting somewhere simpler: What do you actually want your life to look like? That vision can make the harder conversations much easier to begin. #financialplanning #moneyconversations #estateplanning #successionsplanning #businessowners   ---        Information and ideas discussed are general comments and cannot be relied upon as pertaining to your specific situation, do not constitute legal/financial advice, and do not create an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.

    Episode 128 – Should You Help Your Adult Children Financially?

    Helping your adult children financially can come from a place of love, but the way that support is structured matters. A gift toward college, a first home, or another major opportunity may give them a meaningful head start. At the same time, ongoing support can unintentionally create dependency, unclear, expectations, or tension between siblings. In this episode, Jeremiah and Laura discuss how parents can support their adult children without taking away the responsibility and confidence that come from building financial independence. They explore the difference between helping and rescuing, whether financial support should be a gift or a loan, and why equal support may not always look exactly the same for every child. Thoughtful planning can help your generosity strengthen the next generation while still protecting your own financial future. #familyfinances #financialplanning #generationalwealth #estateplanning   ---      Information and ideas discussed are general comments and cannot be relied upon as pertaining to your specific situation, do not constitute legal/financial advice, and do not create an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.

    Episode 127 – Why Smart People Make Bad Financial Decisions

    Being successful in your career does not automatically make financial decisions easier. Fear, compassion, overconfidence, and FOMO can influence even the smartest investors. Advice from friends, social media, or AI can also sound compelling without accounting for your full financial picture. In this episode, Jeremiah and Laura explore the behavioral patterns behind financial decisions, how personal experiences shape our relationship with money, and why a clear plan can help create a better filter for important choices. Understanding what may be driving your decisions is the first step toward making wiser financial choices instead of letting emotion take the lead. #behavioralfinance #financialplanning #investing #businessowner #entrepreneur #financialdecisions #wealthmanagement   ---       Information and ideas discussed are general comments and cannot be relied upon as pertaining to your specific situation, do not constitute legal/financial advice, and do not create an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.

    Episode 126 – How to Raise Kids Who Are Good with Money

    Kids are learning about money long before they earn their first paycheck. They learn from the conversations they hear, the choices they watch, and the opportunities they are given to spend, save, give, and make mistakes. In this episode, Jeremiah and Laura share what they are learning as they raise four children and work to build healthy money habits at home. The goal is not to raise children who never make financial mistakes. It is to give them a safe place to practice, learn, and gradually take greater responsibility for the resources they have. #parenting #familywealth #financialliteracy #moneyhabits #familyfinances ---      Information and ideas discussed are general comments and cannot be relied upon as pertaining to your specific situation, do not constitute legal/financial advice, and do not create an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.

    Episode 125 – You Have More Money Than Ever… Why Doesn't It Feel Like Enough?

    Success doesn't always bring the peace of mind we expect. For many business owners and high achievers, greater financial success can also bring greater uncertainty. New opportunities, bigger decisions, and increased complexity often leave people asking, "What should I do next?" In this episode of Building Wealthy Habits, Jeremiah and Laura explore why success can feel more stressful than expected, how to move beyond fear and uncertainty, and why a clear vision is essential for navigating your next season with confidence. Financial success changes more than your balance sheet. It changes the questions you're asking, and the opportunities in front of you. #BusinessOwners #FinancialPlanning #MoneyMindset #Entrepreneurship #FinancialConfidence #WealthManagement   ---     Information and ideas discussed are general comments and cannot be relied upon as pertaining to your specific situation, do not constitute legal/financial advice, and do not create an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.

    Episode 124 - The Part of Selling Your Business No One Talks About | with Cindy Jennings

    Selling a business or stepping away from a career is often celebrated as the finish line.  But for many business owners, that's when an entirely new journey begins.  In this episode of Building Wealthy Habits, Laura sits down with Cindy Jennings, founder of Interwovenly and the LifeWise™ programs, which help business owners, executives, managers, and employees navigate life's biggest transitions with clarity and support.  Together, they explore the personal side of retirement and business exits that often go unspoken. They discuss why so many successful leaders struggle after a major transition, how identity and purpose become just as important as financial readiness, and why preparing for your next chapter should begin long before the transaction is complete.  Whether you're thinking about retiring, preparing to sell your business, or simply wondering what you want the next season of life to look like, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on building a future that's just as meaningful as the work you've already accomplished.  Because preparing financially is only part of the journey. Preparing personally may be just as important.  #BusinessOwners #BusinessExit #RetirementPlanning #Leadership #FinancialPlanning #LifeTransitions #Entrepreneurs Connect with Cindy:      LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cindyljennings/   Website: https://interwovenly.com/   Connect with Laura:      LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-lee-59a83610/     Email: Laura@tricordadvisors.com     ---      Information and ideas discussed are general comments and cannot be relied upon as pertaining to your specific situation, do not constitute legal/financial advice, and do not create an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.

    Episode 123 - Don't Let a Surprise Tax Bill Ruin Date Night

    A growing business can create more opportunity, more momentum, and more income. But it can also create one of the least welcome surprises for business owners: a tax bill they did not see coming.  In this episode of Building Wealthy Habits, we talk about why tax planning should not wait until April and why a strong year in business can quickly become stressful when cash flow, estimates, and planning are not aligned.  For many entrepreneurs, the issue is not just the tax bill itself. It is the pressure it creates at home, the questions it raises about the business, and the feeling of wondering what everyone else knows that you do not.  This conversation explores how business owners can move from reactive tax conversations to a more proactive, coordinated planning approach From quarterly check-ins to aligning your CPA, advisor, attorney, and broader financial team, the goal is to create more clarity before the surprise arrives.   Because the more your business grows, the more important it becomes to have a plan that grows with it.  Key Topics Discussed:  Why surprise tax bills often happen during growth years  How taxes can create pressure in business and personal relationships  Why waiting until April may be too late for meaningful planning  The difference between reactive tax filing and proactive tax planning  Common tax planning mistakes business owners make  Why your financial team should be working together      #BuildingWealthyHabits #TaxPlanning #BusinessOwners #Entrepreneurship #FinancialPlanning #BusinessGrowth #WealthManagement #TriCordAdvisors    Connect with Jeremiah:     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremiahjlee/     Email: Jeremiah@tricordadvisors.com       Connect with Laura:     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-lee-59a83610/    Email: Laura@tricordadvisors.com    ---     Information and ideas discussed are general comments and cannot be relied upon as pertaining to your specific situation, do not constitute legal/financial advice, and do not create an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.

    Episode 122 – What Do You Want Your Money to Do for You?

    You've worked hard to build something real. But eventually, a new question begins to emerge:  What do you want your money to do for you?  Too many people spend years accumulating wealth without taking the time to define the life they actually want that wealth to support. They follow the crowd, delay their dreams, and assume there is a "right" way to retire, travel, give, or spend their time.  In this episode of Building Wealthy Habits, we explore why financial planning should never be one-size-fits-all. From retirement and financial independence to family legacy, charitable giving, and lifestyle choices, we discuss how clarity around your vision can help create a plan that fits your life.  Because financial freedom is not about reaching someone else's finish line.  It's about understanding what matters most to you and building a plan that supports it.  Whether you're approaching retirement, considering a major life transition, or simply wondering what comes next, this conversation will help you think differently about the relationship between your wealth and the life you've worked so hard to build.   Key Topics:  Why financial planning should never be one-size-fits-all The shift from accumulating wealth to living from your assets   How couples can align around a shared vision for the future   Using money to support what matters most   Why financial independence is both a math problem and a mindset shift   The sacrifices we make and the priorities we choose   Building a plan around your goals instead of someone else's expectations    #FinancialPlanning #RetirementPlanning #FinancialFreedom #WealthManagement #PersonalFinance #LegacyPlanning Connect with Jeremiah:    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremiahjlee/    Email: Jeremiah@tricordadvisors.com      Connect with Laura:    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-lee-59a83610/   Email: Laura@tricordadvisors.com   ---    Information and ideas discussed are general comments and cannot be relied upon as pertaining to your specific situation, do not constitute legal/financial advice, and do not create an attorney-client or fiduciary relationship.
