Wealth – The WIN Podcast

The 100 Lessons Project (EP. 100)

By The-WIN-Podcast | February 17, 2026

Episode 100 is here — and we’re celebrating by distilling 100 conversations into the Top 10 lessons that have shaped how we think about money, mindset, leadership, and purposeful living. From Olympic-level preparation and strategic financial planning to the domino effect of small habits and becoming the “coffee bean” under pressure, this episode captures the ideas that mattered most. These aren’t just highlights — they’re principles we’ve seen play out in real lives, real markets, and real decisions.

Reaching 100 episodes is a milestone we don’t take lightly. Most podcasts never get here, and we’re grateful for every listener who has joined the journey. In this special episode, Corey and Zed go back and forth, sharing the lessons that have defined WIN — and what will guide the next 100. If you want a condensed blueprint for what truly matters now, this is the episode to hear.

From Metal to Money: How the U.S. Mint Turns Trust into Cash (EP. 99)

By The-WIN-Podcast | February 3, 2026

Money feels permanent, but the way it’s made has changed constantly. In this episode of WIN: What’s Important Now, we explore how the U.S. Mint was created, how American currency evolved from metal to modern money, and why trust—not gold or paper—is what really makes money work.

Along the way, we share the remarkable true story of Peter the Eagle, a bald eagle who lived inside the Philadelphia Mint and became part of U.S. money lore. It’s a reminder that even our most serious financial systems are shaped by people, symbols, and stories—and understanding them can change how we think about money today.

What Our Parents Got Right—and Wrong—About Money (EP 98)

By The-WIN-Podcast | January 20, 2026

The money rules many of us grew up with were shaped by a very different economic world. In this episode of What’s Important Now, we look at where that advice came from and why it worked so well for our parents’ generation. Then we ask the harder question: Does it still work today? We explore what needs updating, what still matters, and how investors can apply timeless principles in a modern financial landscape—focusing on what’s truly important now.

By The-WIN-Podcast | January 6, 2026

Removing the Blindfold: Why Money Feels Hard (EP. 96)

By The-WIN-Podcast | December 23, 2025

Most people feel behind when it comes to money—but that feeling isn’t a failure, it’s a blindfold. We were never taught how the financial game actually works, our instincts push us toward the wrong decisions, and the system quietly rewards spending over patience. When you combine psychology, brutal math, and constant noise, it’s no surprise money feels confusing and stressful.

In this episode of The WIN Podcast: What’s Important Now, we talk about why money is so unintuitive, the common mistakes almost everyone makes, and what changes once you finally understand the rules. This isn’t about perfection or timing—it’s about removing the blindfold, playing intentionally, and quietly doing better than most people over the long run.

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

By The-WIN-Podcast | December 9, 2025

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 The-WIN-Podcast | November 11, 2025

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.

By The-WIN-Podcast | October 28, 2025

Every generation believes they’re raising their children differently — better — than the last. But what if every rebellion simply sets the stage for the next correction? In this episode of The WIN Podcast: What’s Important Now, we explore how the voices of our past shape the way we parent, lead, and live. From strict Victorian discipline to the free-range movements of today, we trace how values echo across generations — and how awareness helps us break, or balance, those cycles in our families, careers, and finances.

The Comfort Trap: How Convenience and Choice Quietly Control Us (EP. 91)

By The-WIN-Podcast | October 14, 2025

In a world that promises to make everything effortless — from one-click shopping to instant streaming — our decisions should feel easier. Yet somehow, we’re more overwhelmed, less satisfied, and financially less disciplined than ever. In this episode of The WIN Podcast: What’s Important Now, we explore the hidden costs of convenience and the paradox of choice: how modern design, tech, and abundance quietly shape our behavior and wealth. You’ll learn why our brains crave simplicity but struggle with too much of it — and how to reclaim control by reintroducing intentional friction and strategic constraints in life, money, and mindset.
