We’ve Reached Peak Navy SEAL Guest
At this point, it feels like every podcast has a Navy SEAL on standby — as if some secret booking agency keeps a rotating cast of square-jawed guests ready to parachute into your feed at a moment’s notice.
There was a time when landing a Navy SEAL meant something. It gave your podcast weight. You were talking to someone who’d probably jumped out of planes, wrestled with mortality, and maybe, just maybe, could teach you something about life.
What People Forget When They Talk About Getting Rich Fast

The Risks of Buying a House with Someone Other Than Your Spouse
Buying a house is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. It’s a huge commitment, not just to the property, but to the person you’re buying it with. And if that person isn’t your spouse, you’re adding an entirely new layer of risk and complexity to an already massive undertaking.

The Dumping Grounds
“I found my wife’s go-bag”
I’ve been married for nine years to a woman I love deeply. We have a good marriage. We don’t have big fights or secrets, at least I didn’t think we did.
A few weeks ago, I was cleaning out our closet and came across a duffel bag tucked behind some blankets. I opened it without thinking, assuming it was old travel stuff. But inside was a perfectly packed go-bag. Clothes, cash, travel toiletries, a burner phone, and copies of her passport, birth certificate, and Social Security card.
My first thought was that it was for emergencies, but the more I looked, the more it didn’t feel like that. It felt personal, intentional. Like something someone packs when they’re planning to leave.
“How should paying bills be divided in marriage???”
I’ve heard that to be fair, it should be by percentage. Whomever earns more, should be paying a higher percentage of each bill.
My husband (who earns quit a bit more than I do) wants it all 50/50.
When it comes to money, it’s more of a roommate situation in our marriage (despite discussing this after we got married two years ago).
He keeps all his financial accounts private. If he were to pass away, I’d be left in the dark caring for our kids.
He has previously stated if I don’t like how little money I have after bills are paid, I should go find a higher paying job (he’s kind of a jerk when it comes to things like this).

The Secret to Stopping Any Argument in 10 Seconds
Here’s the uncomfortable truth about most arguments: you’re not fighting about the dishes, or who said what last week, or why your partner didn’t text you back fast enough. You’re fighting because one (or both) of you feels unseen.
That’s it. That’s the whole damn thing. The argument is just the fireworks show that goes off when someone doesn’t feel understood.
