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.
Visit nobswealth.com to catch the latest episodes and join the movement.
And yes, we can get explicit around here. If that bothers you, you’re probably in the wrong place.
