Uncommon Life Project with Phillip Ramsey and Bryan Dewhurst
In this inaugural episode of the Uncommon Life Project, Phillip Ramsey and Bryan Dewhurst talk about why they decided to launch the podcast and what they’re hoping the listeners will gain from each episode.
The guys are going to interview people who have chosen to step away from the ordinary. They don’t want to wait until retirement to live a dream life. They’ve made sacrifices, taken chances and seized opportunities – all so they could live an uncommon life.
What listeners will learn is that these are very ordinary people, often doing ordinary work – but somewhere along their life’s journey, they decided to step off the worn path that most people take and carve out their own.
With each episode, Phillip and Bryan are hoping to light a spark of inspiration that you too can have a life of abundance and that each of us gets to define what our uncommon life might be.
Our job is to help people understand that there are so many different ways to generate income in today’s economy. There is not just one way to make money out there anymore. – Bryan Dewhurst and Phillip Ramsey
What you’ll learn about in this episode:
- What is an uncommon life and who can hope to have one?
- Why did Bryan and Phillip start the Uncommon Life Project podcast?
- Background on the lead players at Uncommon Wealth Partners
- The “Why” that drives Uncommon Wealth Partners
- What you can expect in future episodes
The Golden Nuggets:
There was just something inside of me that felt the need to help and serve people as it related to their finances and their businesses and I just couldn't ignore it any longer. – Bryan Dewhurst
Using cash value life insurance with a banking mindset, and leveraging against that to purchase assets that produce cash flow to really grow our net worth in a completely different way - these are the kinds of things that excite me! - Bryan Dewhurst
Most financial advisors teach people to think about retirement and work backwards from there. Why not think about next week and move forward from there. It’s all about moving forward and being forward thinking. – Bryan Dewhurst
Using your money more efficiently now and working to understand your needs and desires, to help get you to your goals today, without sacrificing tomorrow – that’s what we do. – Phillip Ramsey
We all have something uncommon within each of us and being able to walk side by side with people and watch that come out is one of the most rewarding things that I have ever been a part of. – Bryan Dewhurst
Great financial advisors are just the copilots showing their clients what the dials mean and helping them kind of dial into the plan that will get them to their goals as quickly as possible. – Phillip Ramsey

Introduction to the Uncommon Life Concept
00:00:02
Speaker
Everyone dreams about living an uncommon life, but how we define that dream is very different for each of us. And for most, it's a lifelong pursuit. Welcome to the Uncommon Life Project podcast. We're going to introduce you to people who are living that life or enjoying the journey to get there. We're going to also give you some tools, tricks, and tips for starting or accelerating your own efforts to live an uncommon life.
00:00:27
Speaker
a life worth celebrating and savoring.
Meet the Hosts: Philip Ramsey and Brian Dewhurst
00:00:30
Speaker
Please welcome your hosts, Brian Dewhurst and Philip Ramsey. Hello and welcome to The Uncommon Life Project. I am your host, Philip Ramsey, and I am Brian Dewhurst. And we're thankful that you guys are listening. Welcome to the first episode ever of Uncommon Life Project.
00:00:47
Speaker
We're glad you're with us. We have a lot to talk about today, but for the first time, what we thought we'd do something a little bit different than we normally will do. What are normal? Let's talk about that so you at least know what the cadence of our show will be. Brian, go ahead and tell us what the listeners can expect.
Podcast Goals: Mindset and Financial Independence
00:01:04
Speaker
Yeah, so the purpose of our podcast is to highlight people that are living an uncommon life. And I think what we mean by that is in the things that I guess we want to highlight is two things. One, kind of like the mindset or the desire to design your own life and not live within some sort of limitation.
00:01:25
Speaker
And then two is in order to do that, typically you need your money to work for you, not just you working for your money. So we want to highlight how people have introduced different forms of residual income and doubled down on what they're passionate about and what they have been gifted in.
00:01:44
Speaker
Absolutely. We see it every day just working with so many awesome clients that there is some light bulb or some switch that went off and they were kind of coasting through life or roboting through life and then all of a sudden they get this enthusiasm and excitement that they never thought they could have and they have this
00:02:03
Speaker
life to that lives accordingly and so that's what we want to try to highlight every Week when we talk about this and then though other be times we just talk about maybe tools and different out-of-the-box Thinking that can help you guys get to that place of uncommon thought and uncoming life So thank you for joining us
Brian Dewhurst: Background and Partnership
00:02:21
Speaker
today. We thought we would just go through and kind of highlight
00:02:23
Speaker
who your hosts are so you can get a little bit more familiar with us. Brian, go ahead and start talking about you because you're way more interesting than I am. I don't think so. But yeah, so Brian Dearest, I live in Ames, Iowa. I've lived in Iowa now for 12 years. I have three beautiful children from a previous marriage and I'm currently engaged to a wonderful woman. And yeah, we just enjoy having fun. I've been working with Philip Ramsey as business partners now for five and a half years.
00:02:53
Speaker
And we have our own little business marriage and we have a good time. That's true. I like playing tennis. I like entrepreneurial stuff, helping business owners. Yeah. And yeah, just spending time with family and having fun.
00:03:09
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. So my name is Philip Ramsey. I live here in Iowa, Ankeny, Iowa. I've been married for 10 years this coming January. We're excited to celebrate that. And we have three amazing children, nine, seven, five years old. My wife stays home. She does an amazing job. She works in the trenches that I got to go hang out with some amazing people. It's really not fair. She totally out serves me.
00:03:33
Speaker
So, let's talk about the who, what, where, when, why, and how of the podcast and kind of help people get an understanding of the way that we do business. Let's talk about the why we do what we do because I think that's really what gave us passion to be where we're
Brian's Financial Services Career and Philosophy
00:03:50
Speaker
at today. Go ahead, Brian.
00:03:52
Speaker
Certainly, yeah. So I grew up in this business in financial services. My mom still works for a brokerage firm in Nebraska and my dad spent most of his career in banking and insurance. So I've always been fascinated with numbers, compounding, financials, different stuff. And I've always kind of been around it. So in college, I worked for my mom's firm. I went to Creighton University in Omaha, the Harvard of the Midwest, if you will.
00:04:22
Speaker
and major in economics and finance and really spent a lot of time in the brokerage business through college and in several different roles at my mom's firm. And then out of that got into consulting with one of the top four accounting firms or consider the big four in America and spent five years there and just learned a lot about business and cashflow and internal systems.
00:04:49
Speaker
And it was just such a rich experience to get to work at companies like Union Pacific, Berkshire Hathaway, Geico Insurance Company, to name a few. And really looking at my economics background in 06-07, I just really felt like the sky was going to fall, the economy was doomed, and that things were really going to implode.
00:05:14
Speaker
A mentor of mine showed me some concepts with financial services and I just couldn't ignore the pull anymore to come back to this business and stop traveling. I was traveling all over the country and just felt pulled away from my family.
00:05:30
Speaker
Yeah, I got into this business in the eye of the storm, December of 2008. I quit my safe consulting job and got into 100% into this business and so just wanted to help people understand that there's different assets outside of the stock market.
00:05:48
Speaker
and there's different ways to generate income and that's just one of the main things that I'm probably most excited about highlighting on this podcast is just people that are winning in so many different ways and there's just so many different ways to make money out there. I'm just so excited about that. For sure. So tell me this because I think this is really interesting just to follow back on what you're saying because you are working at pretty big company. What was that final switch to say I'm gonna go try to do this on my own?
00:06:17
Speaker
Yeah, so I was in another city with a colleague and it was, you know, 10 o'clock at night and we were out in a bar and I was just like, man, I just miss my family, truthfully. And I was just so tired of traveling and I just wanted to be home and
00:06:37
Speaker
And then the other half of that was, I traveled about nine months out of the year and a lot of it was driving to another city or flying to another city and state. So it was aggressive traveling. And I had done that for four years and it was just time to be done. But the other half of that was just the pull.
00:06:57
Speaker
And I think we'll get into this with a lot of the people we're interviewing is just there's something inside of you that you can't turn off. And there's something that is inspiring you, that you're drawn to, that you're researching online, you're seeking out information. And that was just inside of me for this business to help and serve people with money and their finances and their businesses. And I just couldn't ignore it any longer.
Financial Tools: Cash Value Life Insurance
00:07:24
Speaker
The real switch though for me was and we'll get into this in our next episode is just though what we can do with cash value life insurance how we can use that with a banking mindset and how we can leverage against that to purchase assets that produce cash flow and
00:07:42
Speaker
and really grow our net worth and our wealth in just a completely different way than I'd ever seen. And after testing that and researching that, it was just something that I had to go all in on. Cool. So yeah, we talk about residual income a lot. What do you think, you kind of mentioned it a little bit there. What do you think is the reason why we're in business today? What was the uncommon path that we took at the beginning of our career? And how has that taken us to where we're at today?
00:08:12
Speaker
Well, I think the thing is when you look at conventional financial planning, most advisors are teaching people to put all their money in a 401k, which
00:08:22
Speaker
Again, may not necessarily be bad based on your current situation, but you're really, if you think about it, let's say you're at zero and you're putting money into a retirement plan, you're really buying the last year of your life. And you're really working backwards as that pool of money builds up. You're really working back from, let's just say age 100.
00:08:43
Speaker
And you're trying to buy age 99 with that money. That just never made sense to me after my five years in business consulting when everything is focused on immediate cashflow. And I think what made us different was with our planning and the way we approach people wasn't, we weren't trying to solve for year 99, you know, we were trying to solve for next week. Like how do we get more money in people's pocket tomorrow
00:09:10
Speaker
how do we make it easier to save and how do we plug the holes in their financial engine or robot or whatever you want to call it and make them more efficient right now, which actually reduces their risk and increases their ability to save and invest for the long term. So I think that's what was to me, what made us uncommon is we really meet people where they're at and have met people where they're at.
00:09:37
Speaker
let them see the fruit and power of their own cash flow. Totally. So that kind of brings me back to my why.
Philip Ramsey's Career Transition
00:09:43
Speaker
And I was at the time when Brian and I met, we first met at an investors club. I was a pharmaceutical rep with a pretty big pharmaceutical company. And I remember just, I really enjoyed my job, something that I learned
00:09:57
Speaker
quickly in my career as a pharmaceutical rep is that the big company that was training me was a for-profit company. So they were telling me what they wanted me to tell the doctor and when I finally got to the doctor, the doctor said, we have a whole different perspective on things than what you have
00:10:16
Speaker
per year training and it was a really big eye opener for me because I understood finally that I had to be a consultant of what this big company was telling me and my end user or the client at the time was the doctor slash patient. And so I had to do a lot of research of my own to try to figure out what that common ground was and what the truth was. And so when I got out of pharmaceuticals, I was thinking what other industry out there is
00:10:43
Speaker
have I never really got a lot of value from. And I was thinking financial services because what you just said, Brian, is that you're solving for your 99th year on the planet and I have needs today. And I've never really talked to an advisor that helped me gain cash flow and helped me in the day-to-day, but also not lose focus of retirement because eventually we all want to
00:11:10
Speaker
I guess have time freedom is what Brian and I call it. But I didn't want to put a number around it. I wanted to use my money efficiently now and work with somebody that understood my needs and kind of my desires and my wants and goals to help me get to my goals today but not sacrifice for tomorrow. And so that's when Brian and I kind of paired up. I started with a big company out of Des Moines.
00:11:34
Speaker
A big insurance company, they told me that they had the greatest training strategy to get advisors from zero to 60. What that looked like for me was that they would just tell me to write down all my family and friends on a piece of paper, go talk to them.
00:11:51
Speaker
and ask them, what are they saving a month? What's your disposable income every month? And then once they told me, then I would give them this big song and dance about what if one of you didn't show up tomorrow, what if one of you passed away on the way to work or way home from work.
00:12:07
Speaker
What would you do? Ultimately, I think they wanted me to make them cry to get that emotional attachment and then take some of that disposable income that they were saving every month and then sell them more life insurance. I thought to myself, I didn't want to talk to myself, let alone my family and friends. Totally. When Brian and I had this faithful coffee, you remember what it was? It was like June or something?
00:12:29
Speaker
Yeah, it was about June 15th or June 20th in 2012. I was in the industry for probably four months and I just remember being discouraged. I think at first both Brian and I were like, no, everything's good. You know how you normally do it. And then I think I was like, yeah, so great. But then I was like, man, there's got to be a better way. Like this kind of sucks.
00:12:50
Speaker
And Brian was kind of like let down his guard too. He was like, man, I know a better way, but I just don't know how to sell it. So we kind of vowed that day that we would team together and we've been doing it ever since. And so it's been a fun ride and one that we've kind of galvanized our process and how to work through and help people get excited about what they're doing with their money and take control of it. And now we have the successful practice that we feel like we have
00:13:16
Speaker
We have more great clients than I could ever imagine and we want to keep helping people. We want to keep helping people to the next level and give.
00:13:26
Speaker
fun stories and obstacles that people are struggling with as this path of uncommonness is coming. And so we hope that you guys will take this trip with us. But that's a little bit about the why of why we do it. And when would you say is the best time to sit in front of somebody like you and I, Brian, for a client?
When to Start Financial Planning and Control
00:13:48
Speaker
Yeah, it's always right now. You know, you're not guaranteed tomorrow. The Bible says that. Is that a sales tactic or is that like really?
00:14:00
Speaker
I think that's really, I think, you know, I mean, my own personal thing and you've helped me address different things in my life. And I think that's, again, what your superpower is, helping people address things in a loving and safe and, you know, trustworthy way. And I think me included, as I say this with myself, you know, looking in the mirror, is we avoid things and we avoid taking action in our life.
00:14:28
Speaker
You know resoundingly With most of the people we meet with I would say is they're always like I wish I would have started this sooner and maybe not even necessarily working With us or whatever but just taking steps towards their goals and dreams and designing that life that they actually really desire They just may not have that surrounding support or voice or path that reinforces those ideals
00:14:55
Speaker
as much as it is maybe to stay in the safe job and keep the benefits and those types of pressures. But I want to go back to one thing just with your path, Philip, and your why real quick, is after you exited pharmaceuticals, and I don't think a lot of people realize this, but with Obamacare and not to get political, but about over 400,000 people in the pharmaceutical industry lost their job.
00:15:19
Speaker
with the introduction of Obamacare. And so being part of that, you know, you had a lot of different job offers to go back into pharmaceuticals with another company, take, you know, what would be identified, I think, by most people in our community is like really good jobs in Des Moines. What was that desire inside you to like, I'm not gonna go down that path. I'm gonna go over here to the total unknown and uncertainty of something really you've never,
00:15:47
Speaker
You know, dealt with for sure no prior. What was that like? Yeah, I think there's there's probably two Two answers to that question. I mean, it's a great question One I didn't want to be I didn't want to have somebody else control of where I was going My numbers were great. Our team was awesome at pharmaceutical land And it was kind of like the golden handcuffs if that's even we could just coin that right now I'm sure a lot of pharmaceuticals pharmaceutical reps that are listening to this
00:16:16
Speaker
totally know what I'm saying. Like it was a cush job. You had a car stipend or they just gave you a car, good bonuses, pretty easy lifestyle, pretty flexible. But at the end of the day, you just didn't own anything and you weren't control of anything. And I found that out the hard way or maybe the best way because it's kind of led me to this path. But it was this
00:16:40
Speaker
understanding of everything was going well. My whole team lost their job. My boss lost his job. His boss lost her job. I mean, it was a complete reorganization. We'll use that word because it's
00:16:55
Speaker
way more, I guess, constructive. But so it was a whole reorganization and it was like no one had any say in any of it. And so we were more numbers than anything and they just wanted to regroup this well mark was taken over our state. And I understand why it happened.
00:17:12
Speaker
But I just didn't feel right about not controlling any of that. So I'd say that's my first answer. My second answer is probably just meeting you and having the confidence, knowing that this industry is not one that I think people are clamoring to get into. In fact, the way I got into it was selling insurance with a big insurance company here in Des Moines.
00:17:32
Speaker
And even now, when somebody says, yeah, I'm going to go sell insurance, I kind of cringe like, ugh. And so I don't think I would have done it unless I had somebody to kind of walk through this. And from your experience, you had been doing it for a couple of years in your background with your mother.
00:17:52
Speaker
in the broker-dealer world and your dad in the banking. You've almost grown up with this every day of your life, and so I felt comfortable and confident enough in your knowledge and my, I guess, understanding. I knew the risks and the rewards and the negatives.
00:18:09
Speaker
the benefits and the risks. And so I felt like I had enough confidence in, I guess, God at that point to make the jump and go into this uncommon path. But it wasn't something that was consciously like, I got to get out. It was kind of done to me. And so I think that was probably the biggest thing that happened to me that kind of changed everything.
00:18:31
Speaker
But I don't know if that answers your question, but that would be nice. Definitely. That's great. I wanted to go back to one thing on just like when to get started. And I think the reality is, is that when you look at just the statistics, I'm the numbers guy, obviously, if you guys can't tell yet, but we'll get into that more. But when you just look at the base statistics, like, you know, 90% of America is living paycheck to paycheck.
00:18:53
Speaker
over 60% of retirees don't feel prepared for retirement. Social security for people that are retiring right now is on average over 50% of their income. I don't think many people you know our age we're in our mid 30s you know think that's gonna be the case for us
00:19:11
Speaker
when we're at their age in our mid-60s and 70s. And I think most people are supplementing their income either in a two-income household, someone else is working two jobs, or if you're single someone, you're working two to three jobs. And when you look at just the Obamacare thing, not to go back to that or beat that up,
00:19:34
Speaker
If people aren't working 30 hours, most employers don't have to provide health benefits. Employers have reduced hours to get around that loophole. I think a lot of people are looking for different ideas and different ways to make money
00:19:52
Speaker
and make money residually. And so that's why I think focusing on the now, focusing on your current cashflow now and meeting people where they're at is just so exciting because there is something within all of us. We all have something that is uncommon and we've all been touched in that way. And I think it's a matter of being able to walk side by side people and watch that come out is just the most rewarding thing, you know, I've been a part of.
Client-Centered Approach and Success Metrics
00:20:17
Speaker
For sure. And I think I would definitely edify that and saying that I don't know if anybody has ever met with us and said, I wish I would never have met with you. It's always like, I wish I would have met with you sooner. And that's because we don't care what your goals are. We just want to help you achieve them. So you define success will help you get there. And a couple of weeks ago, we met with two new individuals. They were married and they wanted to run
00:20:42
Speaker
and build their own compound or like commune, which that's not really Brian and I's goals, but it was theirs goals. And so what's the assets that you have? And we'll show you how this could work if you wanted to do that. And at the end of the day, we let people be the pilot. We're just the co-pilots, you know, showing them what the dials mean and helping them kind of dial in the plan. And so yeah, that's definitely, I would say right now, I would totally agree with you.
00:21:08
Speaker
And that's the scariest part, I think, for a lot of people because they think that we're going to talk about retirement. And they've got so many things from now into retirement to think about. They don't ever think about engaging in an advisor. And I would say all advisors aren't created equal, but that's probably the biggest hang-up. They sit down with us. They finally kind of let their shoulders down like, yeah, I actually do need help with this kind of stuff. So that's what we're here for.
00:21:33
Speaker
looking at the how of our podcast, how do we work with people, how are we gonna interview people to highlight kind of the old versus new or the common versus uncommon, give the listener some idea of those two things.
00:21:49
Speaker
Yeah, so there's two things I think that we're kind of talking about. One is when we work with clients, the other one is how we're going to kind of deal with this podcast. And we talked about the podcast, about how we were going to talk about what were the challenges and obstacles to get you out of the kind of the rut of just going to work and coming back. And being an employee isn't bad because we have a lot of clients that aren't employees, but they're being purposeful and
00:22:15
Speaker
with what they're doing and their money and discretionary income to get them out of that to maybe start the residual income. And so walking through that with each of our listeners and each of our, I guess, guests, and hopefully people can gain, one, confidence and two, excitement that they can do this as well.
00:22:33
Speaker
And then the other one is how we do it with our clients. And that's where I think it's powerful to work with somebody that's a team and a partnership because Brian is the numbers guy looking at everyone's numbers and then really understanding what their true definition of success is. Once we know those two, it's pretty easy to just line it up and see where you're at. Not only that, then where would this mean? What's the exit strategy if you did get into business? If we meet somebody that's in their 50,
00:23:01
Speaker
maybe even 60s, what does retirement look like? Where are you going to get your cash flow? Because when you're in retirement, you're really keen on the residual income or gaining, I guess, income from the portfolio that you have accrued over your lifetime. And that's exactly what we're talking about. What we like to do when we work with younger people is to try to get them in that mindset earlier
00:23:24
Speaker
So they don't have to step off this huge curb at the end of retirement where they don't work at all. And now they need their money to work for them drastically, right? And they've never had that. There's a chasm there. And so there's a fear base. But when we work with people a little bit younger, we can start having their money work for them earlier. So by the time they step into retirement, it's a natural progression. They've been doing this for
00:23:47
Speaker
you know, 10, 15, 20 years that they've had their money be working for them. So it's an easier transition. But I mean, we've been working with so many people. I mean, talking about social security and healthcare and all this stuff that people are trying to understand and they need it just as much as the 30 year old if they're 60 or 70. So there really is no age gap. And we have, I mean, the age, I would say, what do you think our average age is? I mean, we're all over the gamut.
00:24:17
Speaker
Yeah if you took an average it'd be I'd say 45. Yeah so I mean we're working with really older clients and older to me is like 94 so we don't have any of those but you know so I would say that our how we do it is we like to just create a plan and Brian does a great job of putting it into our software that we have and then creating a baseline
00:24:41
Speaker
And once we have that baseline, it's not the end all be all, which I think a lot of advisors would do, like, okay, we did you a financial plan. Now, good luck and we'll reconvene in a year or two years or whatever it is. But that's just the starting ground. That's just the baseline. And if you think about it in workout terms, like that's just your pre screening. You just want to do some testing to see if you ever do improve. And so that's where we
Client Base and Technology in Services
00:25:03
Speaker
start. And then where we want to go is really where you want to take the whole conversation and where your goals are. And so would you agree with that in the how?
00:25:10
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. All right, so let's go to I think the where. Where are our clients and how do we get them and how do we work with them? Are they all in Iowa or talk about that? Sure, so we obviously have a large client base in central Iowa just because that's where we are physically located. But we've now expanded out to about 15 states, including California to Florida.
00:25:37
Speaker
We've got the coast covered now. My desire is to get somebody in Alaska just because I want to go there. So Alaska, if you're listening, holler.
00:25:49
Speaker
Yeah. And we're obviously leveraging technology, uh, through, uh, through we zoom and just the internet. And there's different things that we can do to track everybody's stuff, you know, in real time through websites. And, uh, so we're trying to do our best to work with people where they're at, not only financially, but physically, uh, with, uh, you know, geographically speaking in the country. So.
00:26:10
Speaker
And I think, too, in looking at this podcast, I'm excited because I do think we're going to reach some international guests as we look at just the globalization of our world, technology, and obviously now with cryptocurrency and be able to move money freely throughout the world with the click of a button, I'm excited to see our international guests as well.
00:26:37
Speaker
Nice. So what tool can we give the listeners right now just to kind of give them something just to bite their teeth into, think about until the next podcast comes out? What would you say that we could give
Identifying Passions and Financial Goals
00:26:49
Speaker
them? I'd say, you know, one more ethereal or
00:26:55
Speaker
I guess, is just what are you passionate about? And in that, like, if there's something that's inside of you that you can't stop thinking about, like if it's an idea or you watch Shark Tank,
00:27:09
Speaker
whatever that is that's maybe been suppressed or put on hold or you had a baby or you lost your job, whatever that is, there is something inside all of us that's unique which is uncommon. And I would just ask that you would light a little flame on that and bring that more to the surface and start documenting that and trying to quantify
00:27:34
Speaker
what it is. Like if you're not where you're at, what's it going to take to get there? Like how much does that new house cost from a down payment? How much money do you need to pay off that debt or the medical bill? You know, those types of things. What date do you want to get those paid off? That stuff for sure. And then I think the second thing is most tangibly in what I really think we're going to highlight here more on the podcast.
00:27:59
Speaker
is what sources of income do you have? I think so much of the financial stuff out there is like how much money can you put away and how much can you cut in expenses? But I don't think advisors do a great job of like how do we double your income?
00:28:18
Speaker
or how do we double your ability to save with the same amount of money you already have, and really challenging yourself of where is your money going and why, and just reevaluating that process, especially at your end here and the beginning of a new year, just looking at your budget again and where you're spending your dollars.
00:28:42
Speaker
For sure. And I would say just another question is what's keeping you up at night? What are the problems that you can't seem
Podcast Vision: Unlocking Uncommon Potential
00:28:49
Speaker
to solve? Those are the ones that we love to work with, to try to help work alongside of you. So I would totally agree. Those two questions are great ones. What are you passionate about?
00:29:02
Speaker
Or and i guess and and what's keeping up at night so the next podcast that we're gonna have is gonna be another duo cast with brian and i were gonna talk about the seven sources of residual income as we see it, what we try to like get our clients to start rethinking,
00:29:17
Speaker
And then hopefully you guys will start getting a feel of the undertone of the world that Brian and I live every day. And it's a fun one and we hope that you guys are on this journey with us. But the Uncommon Life Project is in all of us, right? And we just got to figure out how to unlock it. Some people are closer than others and we want to try to highlight that in this. And so being Uncommon Wealth partners, we get to partner with people every day and help them walk down this path. And we really want to be
00:29:47
Speaker
Two, I guess, co-pilots and part of your advisory team, whatever that looks like for you guys. And so, guys, thank you for listening for our first one. What would be your closing thoughts, Brian? Just to keep moving forward, and it is a new year, and your ideas and dreams can become a reality. And if you're not surrounding yourself with people that are telling you that, then you need to find new friends.
00:30:12
Speaker
I hope that this podcast can be a place where you hear from people. I would just say average people. I think we're all average. But we all have something within us that's uncommon. And as we highlight that and you see people that went through that metamorphosis, that transformation, it is hard. And it will be hard, but it's worth it when you're on the other side.
00:30:34
Speaker
and you're living the life that you desire and you have money that works for you, you're not just constantly working for your money. For sure. So guys, we hope that you enjoyed the first podcast. We'll give it back to you for the second. We'll talk about the seven sources of residual income and we're looking forward to talking then. Have a great day. Thanks everybody. Goodbye.
