Episode 92: Sharpening Your Saw

What is the greatest asset you have? YOU, of course! In today’s show, we are defining an idiom we often hear in the industry: “sharpening your saw.” No, we’re not talking about shop class from 10th grade. We’re talking about building the best version of yourself, and that starts with preserving and enhancing your own unique skills. Whether that be taking an online course, training for a marathon, or focusing on self-care, sharpening your saw comes in a variety of flavors. We’ll start the episode with our list of the greatest movie meltdowns. Then, we’ll uncover the different ways you can sharpen your saw including physical, mental, spiritual, and interpersonal. We all have our own unique blade and only you can decide how to sharpen it.

Episode 89: Mining for Crypto Answers (with Andy Wilson)

It’s difficult to go about your day without hearing the words “cryptocurrency” or “bitcoin.” What seemed like a trend a few years ago has proven quite the opposite. While many pieces to the crypto puzzle are vague and volatile, it’s important to understand how deep this rabbit hole goes. Join Cort, Cam, and guest Andy Wilson as we take a deep dive into this fascinating and futuristic topic. Andy will help us break down what blockchain is, what makes something decentralized, how an exchange differs from a wallet, and everything in between. This episode is by no means a recommendation to invest in crypto, but we thought it was important to define the crypto terms we hear on a daily basis.

Episode 84: A Financial Focus on Forming a Family

Katie, Cort, and Cam are taking on the topic of parenthood. Yep, we’re tackling this touchy topic chock-full of challenges, children, and diaper changes.

Is a financial plan important in the process? Obviously, it’s a deeply personal choice that shouldn’t be taken lightly, but the BullCast team will do their best to help guide you through some important questions to ask yourself when it comes to financially – and mentally – preparing for having children of your own.

Episode 83: Penny-Wise and Pound-Foolish

It’s a new year which means fresh BullCast content for our listeners! When you hear the phrase “penny-wise and pound-foolish,” you may think it’s referring to the infamous clown that haunted Derry, Maine, but that’s far from its meaning. First, we’ll kick off the episode with our top Stephen King movies in honor of Pennywise. Then, we’ll break down the titular, British idiom. Do you scrimp and save on small purchases (like gasoline and groceries), but make big purchases you can’t truly afford (like a new BMW or fancy house?) What are you saving for? What are your priorities? Join us this week as we discuss reducing expenses, researching interest-free payment plans, and melting away regrets by making sound financial decisions.
