Episode 141: Speculate with Real Estate (with Ryan Mitchell)

This week, we are sitting down with Ryan Mitchell, home builder and real estate agent, to discuss real estate as passive income. We’ll start the show with our first ever game of “would you rather” with the topic being “house hunting.” Then, we’ll chat with Ryan, based out of Huntsville, Alabama, about his life in the industry. We’ll discuss the financial benefits of both the agent side and builder side, doing your homework before diving into property management, and short-term vs. long-term rentals. It’s a fascinating real-estate rant, so don’t miss it!

Episode 140: The Power of Pensions

Join us for this week’s episode all about pension plans. Katie and Cam will kick off the show with the list of the most heartwarming movies about retirement. Then, we’ll dive right into the topic of retirement plans.  Nowadays when you hear retirement plan you probably think of 401(k)s. They are well known, but they are not the only “game in town” so to speak. Pensions are not as popular as they used to be, but they are still around along with many other types of retirement plans that we have mentioned in the past. What differentiates a pension plan from a defined contribution plan? In the show, we’ll answer that question and discuss public vs. private pensions, the risks associated with having a company invest your retirement funds (as opposed to making the investment decisions for yourself), and the key differences between pensions and 401(k)s. At a fundamental level, what plans are available to you will play a massive role in what retirement will look like for you, so make sure you know your options, know the differences, and take advantage.

Episode 137: Planning for the End

No one enjoys talking about death, let alone funeral planning, but it is immensely important to discuss before it is too late. But don’t worry – we’ll try to keep this week’s show upbeat. Join us on this week’s BullCast as we lay out a step-by-step guide for funeral planning. We’ll start the show with our list of the saddest movie deaths of all time (we know, it’s depressing.) Then, we’ll jump into the idea of planning ahead. What is the cost of a funeral? Does a funeral plan need to be complex? Should the reception reflect the personality of the deceased? There is so much that goes into the final farewell of a loved one, and it can be extremely tough to plan this out in the midst of grief. That’s why it is important to talk about it now and put a plan in place that is easy to follow when the time comes.

Episode 134: New Year, New Me

As the new year approaches, so too does a wave of half-hearted attempts at self-improvement. Every year, people tell themselves “This is the year I will lose 75 pounds” or “As soon as January 1st hits, I will quit smoking.” While resolutions are a great way to hit the reset button, it’s not as easy as flipping a switch when the clock hits midnight.

We’ll start the show with a list of the best films to watch for inspiration on starting fresh and hitting goals. Then, we’ll talk about how making goals attainable is imperative to hitting milestones. We wish you all a very happy new year, and look forward to bringing you fresh content in 2023. Now, get out there, set some SMART goals, and don’t be so hard on yourself!
