NoBS Wealth

Welcome to the NoBS Wealth Podcast—where we ditch the BS, cut through the noise, and get real about what it takes to build wealth, especially for women, minority business owners, and those standing on the edge of their financial journey, ready to take that first bold step.

We’re not here to sugarcoat it. I’m Stoy Hall, your host and Certified Financial Planner, and I’m bringing you conversations that go beyond the spreadsheets. We're talking about the emotional, psychological, and real-life challenges of money—and how to crush them.

Why You Should Tune In:

No Fluff. Just Actionable Advice: You don’t have time for complicated, jargon-filled nonsense, and I don’t have the patience to give it to you. Here, we’re breaking down strategies you can actually use—whether you're managing cash flow in your business or figuring out how to start investing without feeling overwhelmed.
Your Money, Your Mindset: If you think the key to wealth is just about saving and investing, you’re missing half the game. We’ll tackle the inner work—overcoming financial fear, breaking generational money cycles, and adopting a winning mindset to keep you in the game long-term.
Real Stories You’ll Relate To: We’re bringing on guests with stories like yours. Women and minority business owners who’ve been where you are, taken the risks, and come out on top. No “overnight success” garbage—just honest journeys filled with ups, downs, and everything in between.

Who This Podcast Is For:

If you’ve ever thought:

“I want to build wealth, but I don’t know where to start.”
“I’m ready to grow my business, but I need guidance on the financial side.”
“I don’t come from money, and it feels like I’m playing catch-up.”
Then congratulations—you’re exactly who this podcast was designed for.

What You’ll Get Out of It:

Breaking the Fear: We’ll help you face that first step head-on and show you that building wealth isn’t just for the rich or privileged—it’s for you.
Alternative Wealth Strategies: From real estate to investing in your business, we’ll explore nontraditional ways to grow your money without drowning in “just invest in the S&P 500” advice.
Practical Tools: Whether it’s tax hacks, cash flow management, or scaling your business, we give you the tools to act, not just dream.

It’s time to bet on yourself. Tune in, get inspired, and most importantly—take action. The life you want? It’s within reach.

Inflation Sucks. Markets Are Wild. Here’s Why I’m Still Thankful. | Let's Get Real Ep. 27

November 26, 2025 • NO BS Podcast

Thanksgiving hits different when you’re the one holding everything up. The bills, the business, the team, the family. And then people tell you, “Be thankful.”

In this episode of Let’s Get Real, I sit down and talk honestly about gratitude in a messed-up economy — not the Hallmark version. I walk through what I’m genuinely thankful for as a husband, dad, and financial professional, even while prices are high, markets are chaotic, and business owners are tired of wearing all the hats.

This is real talk for women, minority, and LGBTQ business owners on that next step of growth who know they can’t keep doing it all alone.

In this episode:

Why gratitude feels hard when money is tight and life is heavy
Holding frustration and thankfulness at the same time
What I’m thankful for in my family and my clients’ trust
Finding meaning in your work even when the market is wild
How chaos doesn’t erase your skills, grit, or progress

After Thanksgiving, everybody. Now I know a lot of you have been going through a lot this year. It's it, it's been a year, unprecedented year. I feel like we say that every other year now, and I understand some of what you're going through, but I want everyone to know that this time, this season, with all of the crazy shit that's going on, right, both politically, non-politically, your job, your wages, inflation, grocery prices being at the ass, be thankful for those around you. Be thankful for the ability to live the life that you do have. Be thankful for one, be able listen to me, but also learn as much as we can. I know I'm thankful for my wife who transitioned from being A-A-P-T-A out of the corporate world into being executive admin for Black Mammoth, and it's been tremendous having her around, having her with the boys, and being able to live our life. Really on the ways that we want to. I'm very thankful for my boys. Um, as crazy as shit assholes, they are sometimes. I love'em. I love seeing them grow. I love seeing, going through the trials and tribulations of sports, you know, whether that's playing tackle football for the first time this year. Playing flag football for the first time this year, or for Croy going and, and having two medals from his first two tournaments in soccer. Just crazy things happen. They can win championship going in six and oh and tackle football. I'm thankful for those things that they had to battle through. I'm thankful for all my clients that have allowed me to and trust me with everything that they have when it comes to their life and that that weight and that that trust. Really, truly means a lot. And I tr and I love the fact that all of you have entrusted, uh, me with teaching you and, and learning from the let's get real from no BS wealth, from Black Mammoth, all of the above. And, and follow me on this journey because it takes a lot. It's not easy, right? There's gonna be good days and bad days. Hell, I've had my own right? Good and bad things I'm dealing with now. Things I'm dealing with at other times too. I'm just very, very thankful to have all of you in my lives, whether that you've reached out and I actually know who you are or you're just, you know, listening and, and tuning in. And this might sound weird coming from, from me. I'm thankful for the markets. I'm thankful for my industry. I know. I know you've heard me say I low with our industry and I do, but I'm thankful for it's there. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to have the connections, the relationships, and doing what I'm doing. I'd be doing something else now as, as crazy as the markets are. I think at the time of this filming, Bitcoin's at its lowest in a very, very long time. The markets just went crazy for a while with no understanding of why. We've got geopolitical pressures with Ukraine and Russia. You know, hopefully when this comes out, it's all kind of settled around. Thanksgiving. But I doubt it. I doubt it. I doubt I, I doubt that it'll be that clean. There'll be more chaos. There will always be more chaos. But what doesn't have to be chaotic is your relationships with others. Your continuous learning. You waken up every day trying to do your best. None of that is gonna go away because of the chaos. So for all of those listening, for all those tuning in on Thanksgiving, uh, if you will, or even afterwards, have a truly happy Thanksgiving and I really appreciate all of you and everyone in my life'cause it allows me to be who I want to be, uh, and I am very appreciative of it. So thank you.
