Four-time Grammy award-winning musician talks about how being an entrepreneur and living with ancient Hawaiian values brings him success.

He hosts a weekly show on Maui called George Kahumoku Jr's Slack Key Show: Masters of Hawaiian Music.

True to his Hawaiian heritage, wherever he goes George always brings bundles of fresh produce to share with friends and students. "George Kahumoku, Jr. is one of the great Hawaiian slack key guitarists, as well as a wonderful composer, songwriter, song interpreter, vocalist, and storyteller." – George Winston "Mr. Kahumoku assumed a natural role as the evening's host, peppering the show with charming, picaresque stories ("I grew up with 26 cousins in the same household," went the setup to one of these), and speaking with ease about the origins of the songs. Before singing "I'll Remember You," a beloved Hawaiian standard, he recalled his debt to its songwriter, who gave him his first break at age 11. At every turn he got a richly chiming tone from his acoustic guitar and favored a light, easeful flow of rhythm." – Nate Chinen, New York Times Show notes: http://www.inspiredmoney.fm/079 In this episode, you will learn: Why being an entrepreneur makes you a better musician.

Retired FBI special agent, Jerri Williams talks money and her unique perspectives gained from a career in economic fraud investigations where she studied the schemes con-artists and corrupt corporate and public officials used to steal other people's money. Guest Biography Jerri Williams has always been a storyteller and, after serving 26 years as a special agent in the FBI, she has plenty of stories to tell. During most of her Bureau career she worked major economic fraud investigations and was amazed at the schemes con-artist and corrupt corporate and public officials would devise to steal other people's money. She has also had the opportunity to work bank robberies and drug investigations. The one thing she knows for sure is, "With a gun, you can steal hundreds. With a pen, you can steal millions." During her FBI career, Jerri specialized in cases targeting major economic crime and corruption. Her investigation of a $350 million Ponzi scheme perpetrated against unsuspecting nonprofit organizations, high profiled philanthropists and beneficiary donors, resulted in a 12-year prison sentence and multiple forfeitures. The international advance fee scam case she conducted resulted in a 14-year prison sentence and the forfeiture of the subject's residence. And her major investigation of business to business telemarketing fraud, which included a long-term undercover operation, resulted in 16 search warrants, 25 convictions, and several multi-year prison terms. Jerri received numerous awards throughout her career, including four United States Attorney Awards for Distinguished Service. Being interviewed and appearing on CNBC's American Greed in the episode—Confessions of a Con Man—was a highlight of Jerri's career. Toward the end of her federal law enforcement career, Jerri was appointed as the spokesperson for the Philadelphia Division of the FBI, taking on the responsibility of educating and informing the media and public about the Bureau. Post-FBI retirement, Jerri served for seven years as the spokesperson and Director of Media Relations for SEPTA, Philadelphia's public transportation provider. Both positions often placed her in the spotlight in front of local and national news media. Jerri is using her prior professional experiences with scams and schemers to write crime fiction inspired by actual true crime FBI cases. Her novels – Pay To Play and Greedy Givers – a series about a female FBI agent assigned to a Philadelphia Corruption Squad, are available at Amazon.com as e-books, trade paperbacks, and audiobook. Jerri also produces and hosts FBI Retired Case File Review, a true crime podcast where she interviews retired FBI agents about their high-profile cases and careers, corrects clichés and misconceptions about the FBI in books, TV, and movies, and recommends crime fiction. The podcast will soon surpassed two million downloads, has listeners from around the world, and is regularly listed on iTunes' History Top Charts. FBI Retired Case File Review can be accessed on her website, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, and other popular podcast apps.

This week, we revisit the most popular Inspired Money episodes of 2018 and highlight ten tips to consider as we plan for the new year. Track Your Spending as a First Step Peter Polson, CEO of Tiller Money, wants you to better manage your money by tracking and budgeting with automated spreadsheets. He says that most people know their income but have a harder time explaining exactly where their money is spent every month. When you start tracking your spending, you become more aware of where you're money is going and based on this feedback, you're likely to change your spending habits and better align spending with your values. Today's technology makes it so easy to spend with a click, a swipe, or tap, it's no wonder people have no idea where they're spending. Tracking your expenses is the first step to gaining control over your personal finances. Listen to the full episode: 045: The Power of Spreadsheets and Tracking Your Money | Peter Polson Chasing Your Passion Sometimes Requires Living Frugally Professional wrestler Colt Cabana loved wrestling from an early age and knew that's what he wanted to do when he grew up. He romanticized the money mindset of the circus folk wrestlers who came from the carnival and independent wrestlers of the 1970s who had to budget wisely based on their meager earnings. Early in his career, he took pride in living on just $3 a day, when necessary. Even today, now that he has found success, he lives and works knowing the importance of saving by spending less than what he earns.

She says, "If you have money coming in, you have the opportunity to save." A lot of people think that when money is coming in but there's only a couple dollars left over, it's not worth the effort to save. Bola says even if you have just 50 cents extra, it's worth saving because it's critical to start learning the habit and consistency of saving early. She recalls driving 20 minutes to the bank to deposit $1! Building good money habits early, even when you are only earning a little, will benefit you when you're making a higher income and able to save more. Listen to the full episode: 048: How I Saved $100,000 Right After College | Bola Sokunbi Owning a Business Can Be Very Rewarding Howard Gogel, President and CEO of My Limo and Gogel Auto, says owning a business is a blessing, a curse, and something that's allowed him to live an extraordinary life.

Ryan says we are all in sales whether you're selling a product or service, yourself, or trying to convince your boss why you deserve a promotion. The trouble is that no one likes to be sold yet many sales people make the mistake of identifying a prospect and immediately trying to sell something. Instead, your focus should be on starting conversations with the intent to build connections. Since you only have a few seconds to make a first impression, start with a solid introduction, smile, compliment, and try to find something that you have in common. Another mistake that salespeople make is talking too much. Everybody loves to hear themselves talk so ask questions. Once a conversation is started, eventually get them to talk about what you do for a living and how that can benefit them. From there, opportunities can open up.
