Ep 221Do Stocks Earn Compound Interest? - Episode 221
This episode is going to talk about the "Miracle of Compound Interest". Financial advisors constantly use compounding interest calculators to project and predict future values for their clients. The problem with that is that stocks, bonds, and mutual funds don't compound interest. In fact, no investment does. Stocks don't compound interest. They appreciate and they depreciate in value. That's not the same as compounding interest. Understanding this truth also sort of demolishes the entire use of the phrase, "the miracle of compound interest" (supposedly by Einstein), as it relates to investments. It's simply not applicable. Compound interest calculators, therefore, are generally used as a marketing tool to sell investments. They are not real predictors of what is going to happen and are generally a bad way to choose an investment. Calculations and projections are not a good substitute for real knowledge about an investment. Curtis's motto is that what you learn today and how you position yourself will determine your future financial well-being 5, 10, 20 years from today.

Ep 19840 Day Real Estate Challenge – How I Turned $1K Into $40K with Zack Boothe - Episode 198
Do you want to break away from the trap of living paycheck to paycheck? Indeed, everybody wants to gain time, freedom, leverage, and legacy. But are you willing to change your life by immersing yourself in real estate investing? Zack Boothe, the host of Driving for Dollars Mastery, joins Curtis to talk about making money with the real estate business. At the age of 17, Zack started his entrepreneurial journey by opening a window cleaning business. 10 years later, he felt like he was stuck in a job instead of running a business. This was when he decided to venture into real estate investing – a move that changed his life. Today, aside from being a millionaire real estate investor, he also does coaching to help and guide people who are skeptical about this business space. He documents his day-to-day life to show everyone what it's really like and that there's no reason to doubt themselves so much! Zack perceives, based on experience, that you can't take massive actions on something you are skeptical about. Curtis's motto is that what you learn today and how you position yourself will determine your future financial well-being 5, 10, 20 years from today.

Ep 182Why Laundromats Are the Best Small Business in America with Dave Mentz - Episode 182
Dave grew up in poverty and overcame superhero-like obstacles. His story, revealed in his debut book, Laundromat Millionaire – The Grit to Elevate an Industry is a life and business journey that doesn't stop at rags to riches. It begins with a stubborn and obsessive mission to be a business owner with a tenacious and genuine purpose to help others to do the same – even if you also do not have a college degree or perhaps because you have one. Dave teaches the principles of relentless studying of the greats to be a great, and knowing that even if an industry – like laundry – isn't sexy, you can make it so. His initial foray into business ownership was a side hustle alongside his corporate gig with Cincinnati Bell. He found his first business on Craigslist. Once he owned it, he overhauled it from struggling, losing money and outdated, to one that was a valuable proposition to serve as a vital community asset. In essence, he cared – for those who needed this service and deserve it. Curtis's motto is that what you learn today and how you position yourself will determine your future financial well-being 5, 10, 20 years from today.
