35 Years of Investing Lessons in 21 Minutes (From a CPA)

Welcome to another episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on my 35+ years of investing experience—real-world, in-the-trenches lessons learned as a CPA, entrepreneur, and investor who’s seen it all. Forget the hype about AI stocks, crypto, and so-called secret get-rich-quick strategies. In this episode, I break down the timeless principles and habits that actually create wealth—and help you avoid the painful mistakes that most investors make along the way.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been in the game for decades, this episode is for anyone who wants to build a reliable, stress-free path to financial freedom. I’m sharing the 11 most powerful investing lessons I’ve learned from four recessions, three bubbles, and a lot of late nights with spreadsheets. From avoiding emotional decisions to understanding the real role of advisors, we get into the specifics you need to know to make your money work for you—not the other way around.

I’m here to help you master your money, eliminate stress, and live a life of choice.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

• Why behavior beats math when it comes to investing
• The myth of market timing and why even the pros can’t predict the highs and lows
• Why you should never invest in something you can’t clearly explain
• How to spot and avoid bad financial advicee
• The superpower of liquidity
• Why complexity doesn’t create wealth—clarity and simplicity do
• The dangers of chasing hot sectors and trends
• Why investing is only part of your “money machine”
