America's Chaos Problem Is Getting Worse | Let's Get Real Ep. 28 Artwork

NoBS Wealth®

Welcome to the NoBS Wealth Podcast, where we cut through the noise and tell the truth about money. Not the cute truth. The real truth. The kind that makes you pause, get uncomfortable, then finally do something different.

I’m Stoy Hall, Certified Financial Planner and founder of Black Mammoth. This show isn’t built for people who want motivation. It’s built for people who want outcomes. Especially women, minorities, LGBTQ folks, and business owners who are tired of being talked down to, sold to, or fed recycled advice that doesn’t fit real life.

Here’s what we do differently.

We don’t spend 10 minutes on bios. We get straight to the topic and we go deep. Every episode follows a simple structure so you leave with clarity, not content consumption.

What’s happening
What’s the real problem and why does it matter right now.

What the media and society are screaming about
The hot takes, myths, half-truths, and fear cycles that keep people stuck.

The expert lens
Not theory. Not generic tips. How real professionals actually work with clients when things get messy. The frameworks, the mistakes, the hard truths.

The plan
Real steps you can take in the next 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days.

This show is for you if you’ve ever thought:

"I’m making money but I still feel behind."
"I’m running a business but cash flow feels like a constant fight."
"I don’t come from money and I’m tired of learning the hard way."
"I’m exhausted from financial anxiety and I need a plan that holds."

We talk about investing and taxes, yes. But we also talk about the stuff most finance podcasts avoid: shame, pressure, identity, family expectations, survival mode, and why your nervous system can hijack every good intention you have.

You’ll hear conversations with the NoBS Collective, a vetted group of up to 31 professionals across money and real life. Tax pros, attorneys, therapists, lenders, advisors, and operators who actually give a damn about people. Not clout. Not hype. Results!

If you want to build real wealth, you don’t need more noise. You need truth and a plan.

Hit follow. Listen weekly. Come ready to feel seen, called out, and leveled up.

And yes, we can get explicit around here. If that bothers you, you’re probably in the wrong place.

America's Chaos Problem Is Getting Worse | Let's Get Real Ep. 28

0:00 | 3:10

This is Episode 28 of Let’s Get Real and I’m not here to whisper. I’m here to say the part out loud: when “safety” starts looking like chaos, somebody’s lying… and regular people are the ones paying the price.

This episode is part of the Black History Month Series, and we’re talking about the BS swirling around ICE operations, the stories that shift, the fear that spreads, and the way it gets weaponized to keep us arguing with each other instead of holding power accountable. If the details are still unfolding, cool… that’s even more reason to slow down and demand receipts, not rumors.

Here’s what I’m focused on: what tragedy does to people. It can shatter trust… or it can create unison. It can isolate families… or it can wake up communities. The question is whether we turn pain into purpose, or pain into posts.

And then we get to the part everybody skips: the plan. Not motivational bullshit. Not “thoughts and prayers.” A real move: clarity, community, cash, consequences. You’ll hear exactly what those mean and how to apply them without burning out or getting played.

Murder on the streets, a US citizen killed by a federal agent. Words, I thought I would never have to say words I thought we would never, ever have to hear over and over and over again. Chaos is expensive. Chaos causes bigger issues. These bigger issues lead to not only. The death of American citizens, but unrest, unjust people have the feelings of not being protected. It fucks with our markets, our mental health, our over all wellbeing. And guess what? It's teaching our children something that we don't even know or want to know what they go through. But what it does do is it brings us together through trauma, through tragedy, the good of the people become closer. We've seen it 2020 with both, not necessarily COVID, but with the other civil rights stuff we've dealt with. Black Lives Matter movement. We've seen it with the Civil Rights movement. We've seen it in definitely not the Vietnam War. We've seen in World War II and World War I. We've seen it, Katrina, Sandy, you think about it, trauma and tragedy do bring us closer, but this one shouldn't have to be that way yet we continue to let it happen. So what can we do as people? First and foremost, protect your own. Protect your loved ones, your friends, your community. By helping others, we can start to move forward coming together. Whether it is protesting, whether it is just being there for each other, helping educate, bring resources, we'll provide that peace and protection that we can have. Being loud, you ain't gotta worry about me, that's why we're on. Let's get real. Right? Be loud. Be loud about what the shit's going on. Be mad about it. Bring it to light, bring it to attention, and don't stop.'cause that brings me to my. Most important part about this, all of our movements we've had die off. Like lives Matter died off and now we're in an uproar or up rise again. This is keeps repeating and repeating and repeating.'cause we let it go and we let it happen. We can no longer let this happen. It's not good for us, it's not good for our country and it's definitely not good for the world. For those that do provide that and are here for each other, keep going. For those that don't have a community, we're here. No BS Wealth collective's here for you. I'm here for you. It's time for our communities to come together and stand up Business owners, you have a duty and a promise. To your employees, to your community, to do what's right, to come out. For those that believe this is all politically based. Yeah, you damn right. This has to do with politics. That's cool. Come at me for it. But ask yourself this. Do you feel protected? Do you feel like this is right? There's no way that US citizens dying is the right way to act. There's chaos in this world right now. We've got gold. Silver commodities flying through the roof, then dropping 30%. We've got potential war with Iran. Ukraine War is still going on. Famine across the globe. The whole Venezuela bullshit. We've got mortgage rates or mortgage delinquencies that are outta control. Credit card delinquencies, car note delinquencies, still loan delinquencies. We've got layoffs all over the place. Thanks. Amazon thinks a lot and others. There's a lot of shit happening right now. It's very important that we all know that we're here together. We need to have some clarity, meaning we need to know what's going on to help each other. We need to have community. We need to be able to help each other, and then we gotta create impact, lasting impact. We're not only here for those, but we're here for those in the future. Time is now for us to operate in the way we need to. Time is now for us to correct our wrongs. Time is now so we can't wait any long.
