    Introducing How to Build a Million-Dollar Portfolio Starting From Nothing | Graham Stephan from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness Graham Stephan was relentless about one thing before he had anything else: not spending money he did not have to spend. He calculated the gas cost of visiting a friend and decided it was not worth it. Most people would call that extreme. He calls it the foundation. The habits he built early, consistency, focus, and ruthless saving, did not feel heroic in the moment. They felt boring. But boring done every single day is what compounded into real estate commissions, YouTube income, and an investment portfolio split evenly between property, index funds, and cash. What he did not do was wait until he felt ready. He held off on starting his YouTube channel for years because he did not have a Lamborghini like the other guys. When he finally started, none of that mattered. The deeper conversation here is about what money actually means once you have enough of it. Graham is not chasing a bigger number. He wants to buy back his time, to read a book on a Tuesday if he feels like it. That shift from accumulation to freedom is where this episode gets genuinely interesting. Graham on YouTube Graham’s website Graham on Instagram In this episode you will: Discover the three specific habits Graham used to go from nothing to his first million and why saving was the most underrated one Learn how he structures his investments today across real estate, index funds, and cash, and the simple daily routine he uses to stay consistent Understand why waiting until you feel credible is the trap that keeps most people from ever starting Rethink what you believe about renting versus buying a home and when each choice actually makes financial sense Shift how you think about the end goal of building wealth, from hitting a number to designing a life that gives you your time back For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1925 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you’ll love: Lewis Howes Solo [From $0-1M in 2026] Glennda Baker Dave Ramsey Get more from Lewis!  Get my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!

    Conservatives in Colorado Have a Secret Influence Machine. And It Might Be Working.

    Democrats in Colorado are expected to retain control of the state legislature, governor’s mansion, and  every statewide office this year, but that doesn’t mean conservatives aren’t having an impact! Logan M. Davis is a reporter with the progressive media outlet Colorado Times Recorder, and he’s dedicated himself to untangling the mysterious web of think tanks, dark money groups and billionaires who are finding ways to push public policy in our state to the right. Davis joins host Bree Davies to dig into “The Redprint”, his ongoing investigation into how the money moves and where the power lies. Bree and Logan talked about two ballot measures – one focused on harsher sentencing for fentanyl possession and the other to allow local law enforcement to work with ICE – that will be on Colorado ballots this fall.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.

    Who Wants THC Drinks? Plus, Bars Banking on Nostalgia and Our Asian Food Week Recs

    It looks like THC-infused drinks won’t be having a moment in Colorado any time soon. A bill to increase levels of THC allowed in beverages sold at bars and liquor stores died this week when sponsors pulled it before a vote. So, why can a neighboring state like Kansas sell these higher level drinks when cannabis isn’t even legal there? Food and culture writer Sara Rosenthal joins host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love dig into hemp vs. cannabis and why bartenders may be wary of this new frontier. They also dissect the nostalgic drive behind bars with curated vinyl and vintage video games. Plus, if you’re a City Cast Denver Neighbor, you’ll get to hear our special members-only bonus segment highlighting our picks for Mile High Asian Food Week! Bree mentioned Sara’s list of Denver’s “horniest bars,” the 2026 Film on the Rocks schedule, and a huge magazine theft. Sara discussed City Records and Alteño’s latest accolade. Olivia talked about migrant worker wages and City Cast Denver’s two SPJ awards, including one for the episode we did last year with conservative radio host Jeff Hunt.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.
