The Millionaire Mind, Start Saving Early, Gen Z & Social Media with Jacob Shamban
My guest today is Jacob Shamban. He's a financial advisor who is hardworking and conscientious. Jacob also happens to be the only guest we've had NOT born in the 20th Century!The dynamic 22-year-old is breaking norms in the finance world with fresh insights and a unique approach to personal finance. Not only is he skilled at helping people with financial plans, but as one of his mentors, I've found him to be an excellent communicator.In this episode, Jacob and I discuss his college baseball journey from Texas to Iowa. He attended Iowa Western for two years before transferring to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Jacob always wanted to play college baseball, and was willing to leave Texas to do it. Now that he's earned a college degree, he's decided to call Wisconsin home.According to Jacob, the main obstacle he faced in achieving his ultimate goal of playing Division I Baseball was his mindset. Although he had the skills, he said lack of confidence held him back. As a sharp young financial advisor, it's evident he no longer lacks for confidence.We also talk about Jacob's goal of becoming a millionaire by age 30. When I ask about his strategies, he says he's focused on improving his saving habits. He emphasizes the importance of starting to save early and letting compound interest work its magic. Although his father set aside funds for his education, Jacob wishes he'd started saving even earlier.Hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording.
Wisdom & Insight from a Former Olympian Sprinter with Coach Pow (Round 2)
You asked for it. We delivered. Because after Emmanuel Paris' first appearance on the podcast, our 'socials' were flooded with DMs from listeners who couldn't get enough of his wisdom and insight. Paris, also known as "Coach Pow," today made his second appearance.Coach Pow isn't your run-of-the-mill fitness expert. He doesn't just "talk the talk." He also "walks the walk." And sprints it too!As a 2008 Canadian Olympian sprinter and a 2006 Commonwealth Games Bronze Medalist, he knows what it takes to excel in the world of athletics. He's also a former pro drug-free bodybuilder, proving you can build a strong & healthy body without shortcuts or long-term repercussions.Nowadays, he "pays it forward," as a high-performance coach in the fitness industry. Pow shares a wealth of knowledge and experience to help individuals reach their fitness goals.In this episode, Coach Pow reflects on his evolving fitness perspective. He's shifted his focus from "getting big" to more refined qualities like agility and joint pain-reduction. He says the new retirement plan revolves around strength, but isn't limited to just building muscle; rather it encompasses flexibility, mobility, and participation in sports, like sprinting, soccer, and martial arts.We also talk about how Coach Pow's path to becoming a running back was diverted by his environment. He mentions that his high school didn't have a football team. Also, his mom disliked contact-sports, which led to him missing an opportunity to participate in organized football.In his local community, Pow recalls showcasing his innate talent for football, drawing attention from those around him, especially his friend's dad, who wanted to take him "under his wing." But his mom had other plans, steering him toward a school focused on academics and non-contact sports. His high school had Debate & Chess. Despite projecting as an NFL running back IMO, Coach Pow's journey took a different, more fulfilling turn.This conversation was packed with valuable fitness insights and life advice. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!
