The Weight of Maybe: Why We Freeze (EP. 95)

By |

In this episode of The WIN Podcast, we dive into the hidden weight of indecision and explore why the word “maybe” quietly drains our energy, momentum, and opportunity. From historical missteps to modern-day moments of analysis paralysis, we unpack the psychological forces that keep us stuck and the surprising cost of delaying even the smallest decisions.

We also draw clear parallels to personal finance, showing how hesitation can erode wealth just as easily as it stalls personal growth. With practical frameworks and real-world examples, this conversation gives you the tools to move from uncertainty to confident action. If you’ve been parked in neutral—mentally, emotionally, or financially—this episode will help you shift into gear and move forward with purpose.

If Only… Why Regret Is the Emotion That Teaches the Hardest Lessons (EP. 93)

By |

We all carry a few “what ifs.” The job we didn’t take, the person we didn’t call, the risk we were too scared to try. Regret isn’t just emotional baggage — it’s data. A built-in feedback mechanism that tells us what truly matters to us.

In this episode of The WIN Podcast: What’s Important Now, we unpack the psychology of regret — why we feel it, what it’s trying to teach us, and how to use it to make better decisions moving forward. From the stories of famous inventors and investors who learned from their biggest missteps, to everyday moments we all replay in our minds, we’ll explore how looking back can actually help us move forward.

The Domino Effect: How One Small Choice Can Change Your Future (EP. 89)

The Domino Effect: How One Small Choice Can Change Your Future (EP. 89)

By |

Sometimes it’s not the big decisions that shape history—it’s the small ones. Ronald Wayne’s decision to sell his 10% stake in Apple for $800 cost him over $100 billion in missed gains. Even NASA’s choice of a simple pencil reshaped safety in space.

In this episode, Corey and Zed explore how tiny decisions—both famous and forgotten—set off domino chains with massive consequences. Then, they tie it back to money: how everyday choices like starting a savings plan, skipping one payment, or investing a single dollar at 25 can determine your financial future.

Language Evolution: From Dialects to Domain Names (EP. 87)

Language Evolution: From Dialects to Domain Names (EP. 87)

By |

From ancient campfires to current-day slang, language has always shaped the way humans think, act, and connect. In this episode, Corey and Zed trace the journey of language through history—how early tribes relied on clarity for survival, how the printing press standardized communication, and how the digital age introduced memes, slang, and financial jargon at lightning speed.

Just as language influences culture, the words we use around money influence how we invest, save, and plan for the future. The hosts explore why misunderstanding terms like APY, diversification, or volatility can lead to costly mistakes, and how mastering the “language of wealth” creates confidence and clarity.
