S3 E12 “Season Finale” - The Harmony in Love and Wealth, Together
Can true love flourish without the influence of finance? This puzzling question is our starting point as we navigate the intricate interplay between love and money. We open the floor to personal stories and societal reflections, spotlighting the necessity of open financial dialogues in nurturing relationships rooted in trust and respect. Popular culture, from iconic songs to heartwarming films, subtly mold our views on love and money; your Neighborhood Finance BRO’s draw on these to illustrate the importance of financial transparency and collaborative management in relationships.
A staggering 45% of divorces are tied to financial woes, highlighting the critical need for couples to establish shared goals and understand each other's dreams. Our conversation encourages partners to break free from traditional roles, advocating for equal contribution and mutual support to foster respect and fulfillment. We emphasize the vital balance between maintaining individual identities and nurturing a partnership, reminding listeners that supporting one another through financial stress can be a transformative act of love.
The episode takes a powerful turn as we explore the concept of energy alignment and manifestation in relationships. Aligning energies and focusing on positive manifestations can lead to a beautiful, abundant journey with your partner. The "Wealthians Formula For Abundance" is introduced as a tool for merging finance and love, ultimately guiding couples towards mutual growth and wealth-building. Closing with the inspiring mantra "Freedom Over Fear," we celebrate the pursuit of dreams through education, understanding, and unwavering commitment, inviting our audience to embrace boldness in their personal and financial lives.

Speaker 3:you tuned in to fbn and this is another episode of finance bros network.
Speaker 1:I am the one half of finance anton leftwich and this is michael depoe, the other half we are coming to. You live with finance for everyday people. We are honored to be here and we and able to serve diverse communities as usual.
Speaker 3:Yes indeed, yes indeed, brother, hey, man, we here. It's the season finale, man, hey, hey, we wrapped up another one and another one. Dj cali, another one and look, man, we wanted to. Hey, wanted to bring the homecoming and go hard for y'all. So in this episode we're gonna be asking the question can real love exist without finance? And look, mike, I want to go.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know right we're gonna ruffle some feathers on this one brother. Hey, look we asking, okay, because this is this real talk, and look, I'm gonna just, I'm gonna just go in and I promise you I wasn't gonna get too long-winded on this one. But I definitely want to start with going in on my own personal feelings on this. Okay, because you know I just so happen to have I'm blessed to have a significant other where our business is finance right. So, yeah, exactly that's our business.
Speaker 3:So for us to have a conversation about finances is not necessarily uncomfortable because it's just happening all the time, constantly, consistently, but this is something that for most people, we have two different careers. The man and the woman will have two different careers or what have you, and they may not be always talking about their perspective professions all the time. Now, this is a great thing to do and come together and have an understanding of this is what you do, this is what I do, this is what I do, this is what I'm good at and I respect the things that you're good at for couples in relationships, because having an understanding of finances in the home is very, very important. And having these conversations early on.
Speaker 3:I don't feel like we should be uncomfortable or unwilling to have those, because you know and nowadays I mean you know, and nowadays I mean you know, I know it's the microwave generation, bro, but you know, if you're, if you have somebody who you see potential with, these are conversations that can be uncomfortable up front, but if you're getting it out the way early and often and you're doing it, then this is gonna make your relationship stronger because eventually, guess what it's gonna come down to it. It's going to you're gonna it, then this is going to make your relationship stronger Because eventually, guess what it's going to come down to it it's going to You're going to end up having to talk about the finances, bro. So be open and honest about it up front and early Right. And like I said for me, asking me to question myself do I believe love can exist without finance? Okay, so, if you have a found for me, if you have, you know I'm all about the, the, the heart part, peace.
Speaker 2:Mike, right yeah.
Speaker 3:Spiritual. If you have a foundation trust, respect, faithfulness and you know it's you and me, it's you and me and we're going to go out in this can have. We get to exist with both, we get to have love and we get to have the finance piece straight between each other, the understanding between each other. Because get, because, like I said, I'm gonna say it again trust, respect, faithfulness all right. So we can go in and we can take on anything else together. It's no problem, all right. So, having that love exist in the heart of finance and with finance and being able to talk about those things very openly and honestly, bro, it's just having the strong foundation. So, setting that for me, if you set that strong foundation, bro, it's not about having love exist without finance, it's about having a foundation of love and then you can place that finance on top of it. That's what's up for me.
Speaker 1:That's what's up, and you know what. You know what we already did for them, right? I know this episode is about real love, but we already kind of set the roadmap for them in episode three and four. Yeah, what love got to do. What love got to do with it that is true, man so we did that we set the roadmap for them.
Speaker 1:But you, you know, anton, this this gets gets me going, like when we talking about real, because love is a it's a true thing that we have to deal with every day. Every day, whether it's your partner, whether it's a family. This is the love that we have, and this kind of reminds me of uh, a song, because there are a lot of songs out there. You know what love got to do with it, with the tina turner, we spoke about and, and then you know, love don't cost nothing but a thing.
Speaker 2:Love ain't nothing but a thing. I forgot about that one. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3:It's hip-hop to pay tribute to a whole bunch of them.
Speaker 1:Okay, there's a lot of songs out there about love, but what really reminds me of real love, which is part of the title of the song, is our Mary J Blige song. Oh yeah, man, real love.
Speaker 2:Yo we title of the song is our mary j blodge. Oh yeah, man real love yo. We should just go ahead and play that.
Speaker 1:Okay, give a click bam but you know, thank you to miss mary j blodge for that Shout out to Mary J. Shout out to Mary J Blige. But at the end of the day, society has, given you know, has conditioned us. You see how she sung about it. She wasn't talking about finance, about it, it's true. All she was talking about is feeling good with her heart, making her heart feel good, and society has conditioned us to believe that's the only way, or that's the only thing that's involved in real love.
Speaker 1:Right, and it's not it's not it's not there's so much there's so much going on. There are many elements, you know. You know I'm going to ask. Answer the question Can real love exist without finance? I say no.
Speaker 3:The question can real love exist without finance? I say no.
Speaker 1:I say no, tell them like it is. Look real talk. These days there's no romance without finance, there's no romance without fighting, and that's coming from a lot of sisters out there a lot of these women running the country bro right they run the country, bro.
Speaker 3:They run the country Better. Have your stuff together.
Speaker 1:Listen, statistically. Now I heard that minorities women are making more than men. Yeah, so this has got to be a part of that in the environment. It's because it makes sense for it to be Right as wealthy as we have to think about this. Yes, you may love somebody you may take from mary j bar. That's one aspect of it. What marriage, some, somebody you could find in your heart? Yeah, beautiful, okay. What about part two? Yeah, what about the person? And you're looking and that's real talk. You're looking at both finance, whether you have a job, you don't have a job, whether you you't have a job, whether you're making a certain type of money, you're not making a certain type of money, can we? But in this society, it's really got to be 50-50.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah it has to be a 50-50. And we need to stop looking for love in all the wrong places. Man say it again Stop looking for love in all the wrong places man say it again stop looking for love in all the wrong places.
Speaker 3:Whooping panub in all the wrong places. That's real bro. That's, that's serious. That's some serious stuff. It is for real man. It's like we are the microwave generation and it's very, very convenient, almost too convenient, right, all right.
Speaker 1:So and and and all of this boils down to okay, this is the environment that we're in right now. You know, it's not like back in the day where you know the man goes and work and brings on the bacon and maybe the woman is doing a little thing on the side to help that. That those days are over. Yeah, these women.
Speaker 1:Those days are over listen, and generation x, generation z, it's all about 50, 50, real talk, yeah, real talk, like I don't know. Look, I have young, uh, young, kids. Hey, my son is 27 years old. I'll tell you right now, that's his mindset, that's our, that's our society. Now, right, right, it's a, it's a two household income society and if you are in love or you love that person, that has to be a part of it?
Speaker 3:yeah, for sure. And you know I, mike, I, I want to. I want to iterate on something. I don't think this doesn't mean that you know you got to be rich or something like that, to to have this type of freedom. But be have your hands on something, be having, give, give you, I mean if you'll significant, give your significant other something to be proud. I mean I can speak from the point of view of a man because you know that's us, you know we finance bros, but having something that you do, like this finance bros, this mission of ours, this is something that's close to our hearts right you know me and my significant other.
Speaker 3:We have a business together, but she knows this is my dream and she's able to support me in my dream. Because I have a dream that is outside of the realm of our intertwined uh, workings that we do together, and so I'm I'm out here in the world trying to. It's like more like oh yes, you have a, you have a, you have a business, or you have a job or whatever you want to call it, or you have something that you do to create income, but at the same time, you also have something like a gift that you want to leave this world with. You know, I mean, if you're not here, no more, this is something that they can, all the world can always go back to and like OK, this was Anton, this was Mike's contribution to the universe you know what I'm saying or to the people, or whatever they want to call it.
Speaker 3:Right so and I love that, so, have something that you put in your hands on to give that significant other something to be proud of, something to support you with, because if you ain't doing nothing, what you going to support, right Right, what then? What you gonna support?
Speaker 1:right right, go be supportive of sitting on the couch and you know what, anton, again, the sad part is it's not about love by itself anymore. It's sad, but it's our reality right right, it's our reality. Yes, at one point, point in our society that one income was able to do what he had to do work hard. Or or maybe she vice versa, she could work real hard and bring in that one income, and then he he takes care of everything at the house or vice versa, she takes care of this.
Speaker 1:There's no way. There's no way with inflation, with everything that's going on. There's no way. If you're again, I mentioned the 45 percent of divorce.
Speaker 2:Now is is because of financial finances yeah.
Speaker 1:So you know, we have to think about that and we have to consider that when we're looking for love. Yeah it. It may sound like we're like putting a shadow over it or cloud over making it about the money, but it's not as it's so much it's so much more than that, mike, you know.
Speaker 3:And one thing I would like to make sure that that I do mention is about the future of being together for love and understanding. Finance is to think about life goals, right, and you know my senior brother. She also has goals and dreams that she wants to do outside of our business and I support her fully in that. Whatever amount of love needs to be put into that situation, make sure she has the support she has to go take on the world and vice versa. I want to give her that right. So you so make sure you have your, your long-term goals, or short-term goals, or goals of any kind, understood between each other. Long-term investments, retirement plans and even life insurance wow, all right, talk it up, talk it all of that, all right. Having these things, these having these conversations, ensures both partners are prepared and have a shared vision for the future. Emphasize, shared vision for the future.
Speaker 1:Right, you know, I mean, you know her dream, she knows yours, and y'all can go out there and win like you do it and that, and that's the only way to do it these days, bro, I'm telling you, man, that's the only way, because you know what. So it, even if let's say she was that and I and I I don't like to use this word, but let's say it's used in the bible. So forgive me and don't, don't chastise me if I let's say she's the submissive type, okay, the submissive type.
Speaker 1:Even with the person being the submissive type, you cannot go out and do it all on your own and her just chilling and just like, well, he's going to do this is all he could do. No, right? This is where you have to say, okay, my husband is doing this, or my partner is doing this because you know we are a different nation. Now my partner is doing this, yeah it's true.
Speaker 2:What can I do?
Speaker 1:at my capacity, because it's out there for you to do I like that. That's respectful. Yeah, it's out there for you to do I like that. That's respectful. Yeah, yeah, it's true, it's out there, whoever you could be.
Speaker 2:You know, we in sales we talk about, uh, different type of personalities and uh, yeah, yeah, we, we have that's gonna be on a master class, right, right, right.
Speaker 1:But but but, but these I'm just comparing it, let's say, your personality is a whale which is warm and fuzzy always oh, oh. Most mothers are whales. They're, oh, this baby or a shark. A shark is like let's get this done, let's get this done.
Speaker 2:Boss, what do?
Speaker 1:you do. Or a sea urchin, sea urchin, analytical, analytical, okay, analytical, okay. One plus one is two, three, four. It's like everything's got the numbers got to be right, the numbers got to be right, all the details, and then, and then you got the dolphins, like yo, who we gonna party with today. Oh, but who got the money, brother, you know? So you have these different type of personalities, and guess what? There's a genre where you can make money in every type of those personalities. So, yes, quote, unquote, submissive. But how are you going to support this? Remember, this society is really 50 50. I don't care how much money you make and just out of the respect, yeah, let's say, you know he is making a billion dollars, or she's making a billion dollars. What are you going to contribute?
Speaker 3:right, right. You better be able to create that safe space for them to come and write that what you need, right for what, what you need them to be, you got to create that safe space for them to come and be that and support support a lot of a lot of people who are making that kind of that.
Speaker 1:their wife is supporting it, she or her husbands are supporting them. They're not just out spending the money and coming home and having the mega. What kind of respect you want in that relationship? I like it.
Speaker 2:That's real. What kind of respect.
Speaker 1:You got to be doing something. Society is dictating, and it should be. You should be your own own, you should have your own and then come together and be together, right, yeah, you should have your own the. Your partner should have your own, and then, when it's time to come together, you have what you have together.
Speaker 3:That's right, it's already. It's two holes right, not two halves necessarily.
Speaker 1:Exactly, I feel you exactly, and that's where that love match comes in. Yeah, most definitely, because you're doing what you need to do to satisfy yourself, because the society, unfortunately, is dictating that, because if you're not doing something, you'll be left behind, you're going to feel a certain type of way and it's going to cause problems in the relationship certain type of way and it's going to cause problems in the relationship.
Speaker 1:That's real. That's real, brother. So so be out there to do what you have to do. You know, and you know I, I can't. I cannot talk about mental support like financial. Stress can take a toll on any relationship. Being each other support, like I just said, support system during a tough time is essential. It's about lifting each other up, not dragging each other down. We got to make sure that we are there for each other. We're working towards making it better for each other. If we come home and that person is supporting us the best way they can, let's say you know they're doing their thing, they're working hard on business, and then they come home and you have the capability to have food ready for that person. Why not do that? Even ordering the food, even ordering food, it's a way of support. So why not do that? And that's that mental focus. That's where, mentally, you have to say okay, this is how I'm going to support.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I love it, man. That's real talk, bro, that's real talk. And look, Mike man, this is really close to my heart especially. I know I always say that, but everything you do is close to my heart, we wouldn't do it at all. Right, all right. And I also believe that this love is an energy alignment. Okay, when both partners bring positive energy and shared sense of purpose, it creates a harmonious relationship. And practicing gratitude, and practicing gratitude and mindfulness together, can amplify, amplify this energy Boy man. Oh my.
Speaker 1:God, let's have a moment of silence for what you just said there, bro.
Speaker 3:Bro, that's that's deep too, man. That's that's that's so deep, right there that's energy.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3:Bring that energy alignment brother, yeah, and, and later, how we're going to talk and talk, how we're going to talk about matching that energy, right, right, because when you're, bro, when you're bringing that to the table, if you bring in negativity to the table, trust me it's going to be just like if you put negative out in the world negative is going to come back.
Speaker 3:If you put in positive in the world, positive is going to come back. You put out good, you get good. You put out bad, you get bad. This is the same with your significant other brother. Oh, man, bro, this hit me so hard the other day and I was actually telling I was. I was telling my girl, I was like you know, if if there's something that I feel like I need from you that I'm not getting, I now believe and understand that I have to give more of that. Wow, just give more of that. If you need more love in a certain area, then give more love in that certain area, right. And if you got a good and brother, if you got a good one, if you got a good partner, they will reciprocate bro you, you said it it creates a harmonious relationship yes, bro they're
Speaker 3:gonna reciprocate, man, because they, they, they want again I'm saying the basic fundamentals trust, respect, respect, loyalty. This is somebody who cuts for you, this is somebody who, who sees themselves with you for the rest of your life, just like you see yourself with them for the rest of your life. Right, you guys have a like understanding already. You know, I think we're not talking about all the, all the the worldly stuff out there, right, that we don't belong a part of the worldly stuff out there that we don't belong a part of. I'm talking about a real, unique relationship that's strong, has a good foundation and y'all have this sense where you come together and the more you understand each other and the more you have these conversations, where you grow together, even if it's going through a tough time.
Speaker 1:It's man, it's, it's beautiful it's, it's amazing, it's amazing. And also looking at trust in abundance, believing in an abundance of the universe and trusting in each other. Financial decisions can cultivate a sense of peace and partnership. It's about faith in each other and the journey yes, sir so just just think about that, that trust, and full abundance.
Speaker 3:I love that. Do you know what I love about that? What you said, the journey, the journey. This is a journey that we've taken together. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon, right, all right, and we are, and we're on the same page, and if we get off of the same page, it's just a matter of sitting down and getting back on the same page. Right, very, very and I know this may sound like you know, if you, if you look at it in the, in the worldly sense, it's like it's complicated as heck. Right, what about?
Speaker 3:this what about that yeah, and this happened to me before and that happened. Hey, you know what? What happened to me before but before her and what happened to me before and that happened. You know what? What happened to me before but before her and what happened to her before me. This is this is new. You know what I'm saying. We're not yet. Yes, it will play some parts and there are some things that we have to work out and things Maybe we have to get over about how we may have been treated or what life has done to us or whatever. There's some things. I get it, but keep in mind, look across from you and this person if you know this person is for you and you really choosing this person, then be willing to go through it and get over it, man, because she's not fit to treat you like he was. He was treated before this person, not fit to treat you like he was getting treated before. This person is here to better you, to help build you Right, so we don't have to go in with that energy.
Speaker 1:No more, right, and I'm going to hit them with something real hard. I'm like I'm going to go real on them right now. Give it, let's have it, let's have it. Look before you go out and trying to find real love, find real love with yourself. Another moment of silence. Because if you find that real love for yourself, you know what you like, you know what you, you want in life, you know what you want to be in life, and I'm talking about our, our young gen x, gen z's out there, and even you know our, our, you know generation x? Uh, well, not, I said generation x, we'll say the generation y. I should say generation y, generation c there's all the alphabets nowadays I figure.
Speaker 1:but let's say, uh, our, uh, all the the millennials who are going through it now. Maybe they got in divorce, maybe they, they, they built something, they thought they were building with somebody and then it fell off. Go back, find the real love within yourself. What you like, what you dislike, you know what that is and just try to match that energy with somebody. It's out there. There's over 3 billion people on this planet and if you're looking for it, you'll find it.
Speaker 1:somebody's gonna match that energy yeah, that's true so try to do whatever you need to do. Find real love within yourself, yeah, find somebody else who found real love within themselves, right, right, and then create those fireworks bro.
Speaker 3:You see, oh man, that hits me. What you just said, it's a frequency, right, right. If you're not out generating the frequency, then the frequency can't be met to find you all right. So if you're putting out that of which you wish to bring back, then you'll. Then you'll find that energy that matches you. But we gotta be the energy first. Yep, if you want someone to trust you wish to bring back, then you'll. Then you'll find that energy that matches you. But we gotta be the energy first. Yep, if you want someone to trust, you have to be trustworthy. Yep, you know. I'm saying if you, if you want someone to love, you better be lovable and you know what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1:You want a communicator, you gotta communicate. And I'm gonna say this too be truthful with that person up front. Hey, yeah, I, I don't like doing this, right? I?
Speaker 3:don't like doing that. Don't, don't pretend, don't put on the same right right, all right, listen yeah, hey, uh.
Speaker 1:You want to go off. You want to go to this type of concert. Real talk, I don't like doing that right and guess, guess what? That's okay, that's okay, you, that's, that's you being all the same thing right that's you being real to yourself and maybe that's okay with them, because you know we we're not going to go into this part, but there's always an 80 20 rule.
Speaker 1:I call it 80 20, okay, all right so if 80 percent of the time you love this person and 20 percent of 20 percent of the time you like them, I think that's a great match, right, right if 80 percent of everything that's going on, because it's never 100. We ain't perfect, bro, it's not, we ain't perfect in love, but but if we can, that energy, yeah, and then your future together, is it all the same? And then it, it equates to 80 to 20 percent of the time, right, right, what do you think? Then you're a fool, then you don't deserve that person.
Speaker 3:That person needs to find somebody else at real talk and look, don't, don't mess around and get caught out there trying to find that 20 and then end up losing the 80 or trying to.
Speaker 1:I think I think you meant trying to not deal with that 20, because that 20 could be the first thing that you see Right, right, right. And then you lose out on the 80%.
Speaker 3:Yeah you don't want to do that, bro, so don't look at that.
Speaker 1:Don't focus on the 20. Yeah, let's focus on the 80%.
Speaker 3:Yeah, for real and love and communication and going back to the trust and loyalty man that that'll make up that 20, because we're all, we're all human beings, bro, we're not gonna be perfect. She might got something or they might have some things they don't like about you that much that's true. You might be. You, I'm sure. If, if they missing 20, trust me, you missing 22 right.
Speaker 1:But if that 20 say you know what it's not something I love, but I could deal with that, it's okay. He's giving me this or she's giving me that, right. Or they're giving me this, you know, right, this is nothing Okay. So maybe during the football game, let's say it's a man and a woman. During the football game, I always make a date out with the girls. That's his football time.
Speaker 1:Leave him alone right, right, you know. Or, or she'd like to have a book club. If she wants to do this, all right, uh, listen, uh, oh, tonight I'm gonna have beer with the guys. Leave you alone, all right. Matter of fact here, uh, here's some extra money for some, for some snacks and wine and stuff. You don't think she's going to love you even more for that.
Speaker 3:I'm telling you, man, and y'all got your own things Right, you come back together, you coming home, you coming back together to that energy. Yeah, there's going to be more energy now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's going to be more clarity for what you want in the future now. Future now because you were able to manage or give her or him that autonomy to do what he wanted to do, because he became he, he was whole, he was whole with his already.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yes, there's already whole. There's no void. There's no void.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah you trust that that's what he wants to do. You trust that that's what she wanted to do, and you cool with it.
Speaker 3:You ain't responsible for their happiness they not responsible for your happiness. There you go, boom bro. That's a good segue right there let's go to the breakdown because we could talk about this. I know we could, all right, so we're gonna hit him with the literal.
Speaker 1:The the literal, for is financial transparency. Being upfront about your finance situation is critical. This includes discussing debt savings financial goals early in the relationship. Remember any relationship upfront. Let them know Credit score. Let them know why not Some people might not. Oh, credit score 650, deuces. Let them know why not some people might not. Oh, credit score, uh, 650, uh, deuces. Let them know transparency. Transparency builds trust and sets the stage for a healthy partnership.
Speaker 3:I love that, bro, and you know I want to say this set the stage for that information to be accepted?
Speaker 3:Yes, you don't just slap a pie in somebody's face. Here's all my stuff. Take it or leave it, right, like there's a way to do it, bro. There's a tasteful way to set a stage for the other person to be able to receive you, all right. So it's very important, man, you can talk. So believe, please believe you can talk about, believe, please believe you can talk about these things. Okay, early to where you're not, because, I mean, nobody wants to waste time, okay, we don't want to waste our time. We, and sometimes we're communicating this even to hear how the person's going to handle, right, the information. That's right, all right. So there's a way to do it and it's very there's a very tasteful way to do it. And just remember whatever books you got to read or what do you got to come talk to one of us, or whoever you trust to talk to there's a way to set the stage and create a space for someone to receive you for whatever it is.
Speaker 3:You got to tell them there you go.
Speaker 1:All right, let's go to the mental. To the mental yep goal alignment, I Goal alignment. I love that Goal alignment. Mentally envisioning your future together is powerful, Whether it's career ambitions or personal dreams. Being mentally aligned with your goals helps steer the relationship in a forward direction.
Speaker 3:Man brother, what a forward direction, man brother, what Forward direction, that's mental. That's good, bro. That's mental, you're both coming together mentally.
Speaker 1:This is my dreams. This is a line You're not going to do something stupid because you don't want to mess up his or her dream. He's not going to do something stupid. You don't want to mess up his or her dream. He's not going to do something stupid.
Speaker 3:You don't want to mess up his or her dream. That's true. That's true, brother. I love that man and it's sharing openly and with conviction, because that person is going to see how that dream comes out of your heart. Right, when you talk about it, when we're talking about finance bros, it's this, there's energy there, right, we get excited and anybody we tell about it we get excited, and and they feel that, right, you know so, you'll, significant other, trust me if, if you really believe it, like you're telling them that you believe it, they'll feel it right, all right. Right, and vice versa. If you don't, right, all right. So here we go to spiritual, all right, manifesting together. All right, set shared intentions and visualize your future. This isn't just about daydreaming, okay. It's about consciously working towards your dreams together and supporting each other spiritually. There you go. How about that?
Speaker 2:That's enough said how about that?
Speaker 1:The manifestation's got to be there brother, yeah, for sure man.
Speaker 1:Because, the manifestation. We always say manifestation is a spiritual aspect of something. No-transcript, it's going to come together. Do you know how powerful it is? And I'm going to mention something I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mention it to you today and we're talking about manifestation and this is why I'm mentioning this, and some people might have saw it on TikTok or whatever, and unfortunately, this episode is probably going to come out after this date, but if you did it, kudos after this date, but if you did it, kudos january 11th. Today, it's a restart of manifestation and energy.
Speaker 1:Really oh yes today that we're uh, uh, recording this right. January 11th, wow. And I hope we people out there had got their vision board out, manifesting what they want, manifesting to make it happen. And I'm just saying that because if you manifest stuff together, it doesn't have to be january 11th level, it's just this is how the stars lined up. It so happened to be today, so on and so forth. But yeah, at any time you come together and you're manifesting together, can you imagine what you could possibly accomplish?
Speaker 1:right, right and wouldn't that make you love that partner even more yeah, most definitely, and I like that man.
Speaker 3:and look, if your thing's not manifestation, then replace manifestation with whatever your thing is. You could say fruition. You could say speaking things into existence. You could say I'm believing God for something, whatever that is, you can replace that word. But essentially, when we say that we're using it because it's something that is well talked about out there, it's something that most people can relate to, but replace it with whatever it is that works for you.
Speaker 3:Right? You know I'm, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a God fearing man, I'm a spiritual man. You know, I read the word, you know. So I read the Bible and that's that's why I believe you know my savior, jesus Christ. That's my faith, that's, that's that's for me to go out. And if your faith is that doorknob, if it gets you through the day, then cool, that's cool too. So, yeah, we not we not knocking nobody's belief. We want everybody to go out there and win With the tools that they believe they can win with and the belief that they believe that they can win with. All right, because we're all different, we're all individuals and we're all going to be driven by something different most times. Okay, us here, finance bros, want to give you guys, like we always say, give you fundamentals, encourage you to go out there and learn what you got to learn to do the things that you want to essentially do in life and we love you we, we do, man, we love you.
Speaker 3:We and we give the love, yeah, and we put the love into we. We love you our wealthians.
Speaker 1:We do, we really do love you. This is why we do this. This is why we we decided to do this season with this mental and spiritual aspect of it, man this is my favorite. I love this.
Speaker 3:I think you actually had a lot more to say than me on this. I thought I was going to be the long way. Yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:I thought Anton he always spoke about this. How do we incorporate this? And I think it just makes a lot of sense in the world. Uh, just to understand how that finance and love does work together. And and just looking now for our wealthy and to who decide to have partners, to be together, to stay together and to grow together and build wealth together. Yes, this is what. This is why it's so important that we merge the two. And and that that brings me right into the t-shirt, and the t-shirt is going to have a first, it's going to have a question, it's going to say yes, we really thought on this, right right, so take this one home oh, you're right.
Speaker 1:It's going to say what is the wealthians formula for love good question all right, so it's gonna. We give you the answer. Answer match energy plus sign manifestation equals real love.
Speaker 3:I love it, brother, and I want to emphasize on this so they can get it on the way home. Okay, that matched energy that we talk about, when you're putting out that frequency and you're putting out the things that you, you're being the things that we were being, the things that we want to receive out of this world, out of other people, you know we're, we're being. We're being the love that we, that we want to have, we're being the trustworthy person that we hope to attract, we're being the communicator that we want to attract, we're being all these things. This energy will eventually attract to you. This person will attract to you because we always get, get back what we're putting out, right, all right.
Speaker 3:And then boom, when you have that connection, it it starts to you start to communicate, you come together and then, all of a sudden, this, this manifestation or or whatever it is, that you believe, the, the dreams, the goals.
Speaker 3:It's happening, it's happening, it's happening, it's adding up, it's happening and it's becoming more and more and more and bigger and bigger and bigger, and you get more and more conviction behind right and then boom, that's the love. That is what's on the other side of the equal sign. That is what happens on the other side of that communication, on the other side of that trust, on the other side of that communication, on the other side of that trust, on the other side of that sitting down, that patience, on the other side of the grace that we're giving this person, is the love that we're essentially living with now and we're able to get back because the deposits were made early, often and consistently Right. And love does have its peaks and valleys, just like life, but it'll be a trending upward scale, not trending down. It'll be trending up because, while we have peaks and valleys and every day can't be a good day you always find yourself just a little bit higher with each other when you get over that hump.
Speaker 1:And you know, know, brother, you talking about this real talk, I'm feeling it now. You know, we have a match energy.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, absolutely, brother, and we manifested this yeah, we did a long time, like five years ago, so we got that real love to make this happen. That's the, and I appreciate that. Brother, you too, man, I love you for this. You'll be's the and I appreciate that, bro.
Speaker 2:I love you too, man. I love you for this bro.
Speaker 3:You'll be your brother to me.
Speaker 1:You always going to be the other half of finance to me, brother, listen, so wealthy and to see, we gave you the example, anton, and.
Speaker 2:I.
Speaker 1:Anton and Mike gave you the example that's real man match energy looks and feel like. This is what manifestation as we grow and get better and bring you more information to better your life, to become that wealthy and looks like man this is real love.
Speaker 3:Talk to him brother talk to him man, hey look, man, and I and you know when I, when we were saying that just now, it it really reiterated with me. You know, we, we have this brand, we're about to do, we're about to give them this news. Yeah, and I and you know just tell, I know you've been bursting go ahead, bro. So look y'all, and I, I actually I actually let it slip last episode, you realize that I let it slip okay.
Speaker 3:So look, we got a FBN. Finance Bros Network is bringing you a brand. Finance Bros Network is bringing you the website. The website is out as of right now. When you listen to this episode, after you get off here, you can go to financebrosnetworkcom and you can see it. It is officially live. Man, I've been wanting to say that for a long time.
Speaker 1:Listen it's live, it's gonna keep growing. We we made sure we put our heart into it. Really did we found the right people man, did we find the right people? That really did us just it. That put the love that we're talking about right pulled it out of our hearts even.
Speaker 3:I mean, it was conversation.
Speaker 1:It was conversation man look, we put a lot and we hope you enjoy it. More to come a lot of stuff up there. We want your support.
Speaker 1:We want your uh you know, you want us, we want you guys to be a part of this movement, this wealthy and movement, because it's it's, it's the education that's going to bring us to the next level. It's the understanding, what you have to do day in, day out, at your level, what you have to do getting up every day, that we understand and tell you how to navigate through that. Yes, absolutely, that's going to help you and we're going to continue pouring into that.
Speaker 3:Our website is, is supreme man bro, I love it gets 100 hits a day, just for me going on there, because I just love looking at it seriously, bro, but it's, it's gonna, it's gonna grow from here it's gonna grow.
Speaker 3:This is the exciting part there's gonna be communities on on this site, there's gonna be so many avenues that bring people to the site, to, to, to find whatever it is that they are essentially looking for in personal goals and matters and, of course, with finance.
Speaker 3:Right, and you know the fact that we that so much abundance came from the ideas that came together in this year, this year that we've been putting it all together because we want it to be perfect for you guys. You know, and we did do this on the tv show, right, we did have the last of the season finale, for you know, on hhm was freedom over fear, right, but we never really brought it to you guys on the podcast tip. So if you hadn't seen the tv show, you never really heard about this. But fbn, we are bringing you the brand with the website, we're bringing you the brand freedom over fear. And when, when I was talking about this, mike, or we, we both, were talking about this right now on the other side of that, equal sign you know, what I'm saying Between the, the, the matched energy plus the manifestation, equals love.
Speaker 3:On the other side, that equal sign I kept hearing freedom over fear. Because, just like we said, on the other side of that trust and on the other side of that being that Communicator is the love that we're looking for, because we're being the things that we want back from from the this world, or that person, or whatever.
Speaker 3:It is right, it's it reminds me of freedom or fear, bro, really does. Because, like I keep always saying, you know, people were asking us what does this freedom over fear mean? Like, what does it mean to you guys? And it's, you know, we always say that fear is that thing that holds us back always we're trying something new, but we're scared to pick up the phone if you're in sales.
Speaker 3:Maybe you're scared to pick up the phone. You got your own business. Now you was picking up the phone. Great for that, for that job, because we had to. We felt the pressure to do it. But now we want to do it for ourselves and all of a sudden that phone weighs a thousand pounds. Well, on the other side of that fear, on the other side of that procrastination, is the freedom that we're all seeking, freedom to make choices yeah, and freedom to do everything else we talk about.
Speaker 1:Investing, yes. Going to get a new home yes. All those different things. I know you're scared Because guess what Nobody gave you. From grade school, from kindergarten on till now, nobody decided to teach you this. This is why you're listening to our podcast, this is why you're a wealthy and because you're working towards that. There you go, so that I get the fear, and it's a journey. It's a journey, but on the other side is freedom.
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, just know that, man brother. Ooh, I could go on about that.
Speaker 2:Look, look, look. No, we got to give it to him, though we got to give it to him Right, a very, very influential person.
Speaker 3:I once heard them say that there are some people who look at cost and there are some people who look at worth, right. Some people look at something like what's this gonna cost me, right? You want to start my own business? Okay, what's it gonna cost, right? Other people look at it like is it worth it? It will be worth it right.
Speaker 3:What's on the other side of all these things that hold us back, that freedom? Because it's the thing that you love, it's a thing that's in your heart, things you really want to do with your life, it's your dream, it's going to be worth it and that is the freedom it's worth it, right? You know I'm saying and, bro, we want may mike, our wealth is wealthy, is out there. We want you to feel free, to feel free and I think we just got the slogan for freedom over fear freedom over fear.
Speaker 3:Feel free to feel free, and I think we just got the slogan for freedom over fear, freedom over fear feel free to feel free to be, free, yeah, to be free.
