If there’s anything we’ve become great at, it’s committing too much of our time, our money, and our lives to things we don’t care about. Today we’re going to help you start the new year on the right foot by learning to commit to ONLY those important things and take control of your time. Dr. Don Davis joins us to tackle this important topic that’ll help us frame the rest of this year in the right light.
But that’s not all. We kick off today’s show with a headline that’ll help you ramp up your retirement savings. Then we’ll share an ugly TikTok minute about a recent crypto implosion. And of course, we’ll also throw out the Haven Life line to answer a Stacker call for help.
Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.StackingBenjamins.com/201
Enjoy!
