Welcome back to the Building Your Money Machine Show! In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on some of the hardest but most crucial money lessons I learned—sometimes the hard way—after hitting my 40s. It’s real talk about what NOT to say about your finances if you want to keep building that money machine and live life on your terms.
We grew up hearing that transparency is a virtue. But when it comes to money, there’s a version of “openness” that’ll cost you more than any bad investment. Forget playing it safe for the crowd—this is about protecting what you’ve worked your butt off to build. Believe me, I found out first-hand when a friend’s intro pulled me straight into a Ponzi scheme. Not my proudest moment, but it taught me the power of keeping your mouth shut about the wrong things.
If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and you’re climbing that wealth mountain, it’s time to get strategic about your privacy. Tune in for a real, unfiltered look at why discretion isn’t about fear—it’s a financial strategy. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to keep up appearances, fielded prying money questions at work or from extended family, or wondered how much to reveal to your kids, this episode is for you.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I REVEAL:
- Why broadcasting your net worth or income is setting yourself up as a target (and how I learned that the hard way)
- The hidden dangers of sharing your investment moves—even with close friends or advisors
- How “visible wealth” at work can quietly sabotage your reputation and career trajectory
- The real reason you shouldn’t give detailed inheritance info (hint: it could crush your kids’ drive and future)
- How building a private “wealth identity” will set you free faster than any dollar number
Ready to build your wealth quietly, intentionally, and on your own terms? Hit play and let’s get real about the power of keeping your financial cards close to your chest!
