The Compound Commitment

Wealth Resolutions That Work: Starting 2026 with Intention w/ Daryl Geffken, PhD

Mike Nilson Episode 16

Episode 016: What if your New Year’s resolutions weren’t just about getting in better shape—but also about getting your finances in shape? In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Daryl Geffken for a powerful conversation about why wealth resolutions might be even more impactful than health resolutions.

We talk about the emotional side of money—like why losing a dollar feels 2 times worse than gaining one—and how automation can help remove those roadblocks. Daryl shares his journey from ministry to financial advising, and why understanding your “why” is the foundation for both life and financial success.

You’ll hear practical strategies for setting realistic goals, balancing today’s enjoyment with tomorrow’s security, and why accountability matters. Plus, Daryl gives actionable tips to make 2026 your best financial year yet—like increasing your giving, tracking your spending, and setting up systems that work while you sleep.

If you’re ready to start the year with intention and build wealth that lasts, this episode is for you.

Listen now and let’s make 2026 the year you compound your wealth, health, and happiness.
