Dear Readers and Listeners,
My favorite podcasts are National Public Radio style monologues. I really enjoy the methodical and soothing voice of NPR speakers. I plan to emulate their style over time.
I also want to continue to practice storytelling. We all grew up listening to stories as kids, and I don’t think there’s a more effective way to connect and teach than through storytelling. I could tell you to do XYZ and explain ABC in my podcasts, but I think such instructions might be better suited towards writing.
I hope these podcasts make your commute or your exercise routine a little less painful.
You can see my Libsyn Financial Samurai Podcast feed and page here.

Today’s podcast explores why men have a difficult time expressing their feelings, and how men constantly feel the pressure to conform to society’s expectations. Such constriction not only negatively affects men, but also negatively affects women as well.
It’s funny how nobody every talks about men’s issues, even though we make up half the world’s population. Why is this?
WHY MEN SUFFER IN SILENCE OUTLINE
* What does it mean to be a man?
* Why it’s important to allow men to be themselves to bring more happiness to women.
* A story of why my high school let NOW live, but MOM die.
* The solution to gender income inequality, and my attempt to figure out why some women don’t want men to gain equality to help the family.
* A discussion on the problems that result from men not being able to open up.
* Three tips for people who are unable to express their feelings and be themselves.
If you are a woman who believes this podcast does not pertain to you, think again. One of the best ways to understand men is to listen to the problems and issues they go through. We’re all in this together!

One of the best way to become financially independent and protect yourself is to get a handle on your finances by signing up with Personal Capital. They are a free online platform which aggregates all your financial accounts in one place so you can see where you can optimize your money. Before Personal Capital, I had to log into eight different systems to track 25+ difference accounts (brokerage, multiple banks, 401K, etc) to manage my finances on an Excel spreadsheet. Now, I can just log into Personal Capital to see how all my accounts are doing, including my net worth. I can also see how much I’m spending and saving every month through their cash flow tool.
The best feature is their Portfolio Fee Analyzer, which runs your investment portfolio(s) through its software in a click of a button to see what you are paying. I found out I was paying $1,700 a year in portfolio fees I had no idea I was hemorrhaging! There is no better financial tool online that has helped me more to achieve financial freedom. It only takes a minute to sign up.
Finally, they recently launched their amazing Retirement Planning Calculator that pulls in your real data and runs a Monte Carlo simulation to give you deep insights into your financial future. Personal Capital is free, and less than one minute to sign up. It’s one of the most valuable tools I’ve found to help achieve financial freedom.
