Rally Your Friends and Loved Ones — Episode 4 — Man Vs. Debt Podcast | In Episode 4 of the Man Vs. Debt Podcast, we cover how you can "Rally Your Friends and Loved Ones." We've talked about this here on the blog before, as it's one of the single biggest issues that holds people back. Note: We also cover this content on the final day of Week 1 in You Vs. Debt. Registration for our new Kickoff 2012 class closes soon, so don't delay! The class starts together on Monday! :) What We Can Learn From The News: At the beginning of each podcast, I cover three news stories from the past week. We attempt to have a little fun and pull out a positive nugget from each story featured. :) Story #1: Wikipedia Blackout a Grand Gesture or Grandstanding? Story #2: What Would You Do With A Billion Dollar Bank Error? Story #3: Heroes of the Concordia Crash Why having your friends and family on board is important: It's been the #1 factor of any positive change in my life. Realizing that "the meaning of any communication is the response it elicits." Strategies to rally a loved one: Realize you can't change them. Let them change organically. Start with WHY it's important to you. Seek their input. Listen. Leverage outside influences. Lead by example. Make it a routine. How you can help the podcast explode: Our first three episode have been downloaded or streamed over 25,000 times! Whoo-hoo! If you've listen and enjoyed any of the podcasts so far, would you consider leaving a quick, passionate review in iTunes? Click here to view and/or subscribe inside of iTunes!

The 6 Phases of Debt Reduction — Episode 3 — Man Vs. Debt Podcast | In Episode 3 of the new podcast, we cover the "6 Phases of Debt Reduction." Having talked to thousands of people (on all different parts of their debt journey) over the last few years, I've noticed a couple patterns that have emerged. It seems that almost everyone, regardless of income level, country, or age, goes through 6 clear phases when taking back control of their financial life. What We Can Learn From The News: At the beginning of each podcast, I cover three news stories from the past week. We attempt to have a little fun and pull out a positive nugget from each story featured. :) Story #1: The Most Unusual Job Interview Questions of 2011 Story #2: NBC's Super Bowl Ads Sell Out at Record Prices Story #3: If you think Suze Orman's new Pre-Paid Debit Card is a bad idea, you're an "idiot". I also pointed out what was the best Super Bowl ad last year (by far): Young Darth Vader. The 6 Phases of Debt: Free Your Mind... (I show off my singing voice - can't miss it) Wake Up! Suck it up and Budget. Stop Buying Crap. Earn More Money. Bringing it all together (for the long-term). We cover an overview of each of the 6 phases, along with tips on what to focus on if you are in that phase of the game. :) Help the podcast reach even more people! We're still Top 10 in our "investing" category of iTunes. And still being featured as "New and Noteworthy in iTunes". Help us keep up the amazing momentum! Word of mouth is still the most amazing method to spread the news. Is there a friend, coworker, and family member that would enjoy the podcast? Send it to them! :) You can also click here to view and/or subscribe via iTunes! (The newest episode may take a few hours to show in iTunes, but it WILL download if you subscribe.) If you are extra impressed, don't forget to leave a review inside of iTunes. This really helps! Which phase are you in? Xoxoxo, -Baker | 1/17/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Goals or No Goals? — Episode 2 — Man Vs. Debt Podcast | Episode 2 of the new podcast is now live! We are so happy with the amazing response to the podcast! After just the first episode we were featured as "New & Noteworthy" for the Business category of podcasts in iTunes. Not only that, but we also cracked into the Top 10 Investing Podcasts in iTunes! (For those wondering, iTunes really only has one category called "investing" for all financial topics, even though we rarely actually talk about investing concepts.) Yet again, you guys have given us some great momentum for a fun new project. Thanks so much! Notes on Episode #2: We continued our popular "What we can learn from the news!" section with stories on Louis C.K., Verizon's new $2 fee, and Wikipedia's enormous end of year fundraiser! We then talk about what I call "traditional" goal setting approaches. This includes picking multiple categories for your goals and setting short, medium, and long-term goals for each category. We cover the well-known S.M.A.R.T. system and what we like and don't like about this system. Leo Babauta, popular blogger at Zen Habits, joins us to talk about his "No Goals" philosophy and why he's choosing to move away from traditional goal setting practices. Leo provides some great points and really helps open up the conversation about when setting goals can be good... and when it can backfire! Next, I provide my own spin on goal setting and resolutions, along with what my team and I will be using to measure our progress and success. (Hint: It's actually in between the traditional planning and Leo's suggestions!) Finally, we wrap up with a specific challenge for you to take (you'll need a piece of paper)! I really think you'll enjoy this episode! Give it a listen over the weekend and let me know what you think! Help the podcast reach even more people! The best possible way to help is share the podcast with people who you know would enjoy it! Word of mouth is still the most amazing method to spread the news. :) You can also click here to view and/or subscribe via iTunes! (The newest episode may take a few hours to show in iTunes, but it WILL download if you subscribe.) If you are extra impressed, don't forget to leave a review. Thanks to "Patty2Cakes", "MvDfan", and "Cliff" for the first couple reviews in iTunes! Here's to all of us having an amazing 2012! Xoxoxo, -Baker | 1/6/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Your Big Why and Defining Your Freedom — Episode 1 — Man Vs. Debt Podcast | I'm really excited to launch the first episode of the brand new Man Vs. Debt podcast! :) Our team has been working hard on exploring the ins and outs of the podcasting world - and to be honest - I'm really, really enjoying it so far. We'll be taking off next week for Christmas, however starting in 2012 this will be a weekly podcast. One hour a week of action-packed, non-stop fun! Whoo-hoo! ;) Notes on Episode #1: We start with a section that will be named "What we can learn from the news!" in future episodes. News is typically boring, negative, annoying... or all of the above. We try to spin that around and actually learn something from it! Next, we talk about finding your "Big Why." That's the deep reason that you desire a change in your life. Then we visit the audio from my recent TEDx Talk which explores the question, "What does FREEDOM mean to you?" Even if you've already seen the video, you may be able to pick up something new while playing the audio in the background. ;) Before we wrap up, I share a quick interview I recorded with Hannah Loaring. Hannah is a MvD community member who recently paid off $26,000 in just 9 months and completely changed her internal confidence and key relationships. She sheds a lot of insight into her recent success! As always, I really appreciate your insight, comments, and suggestions. We have nearly a page of improvements, features, and fun things we'd like to add in the next couple of episodes - and I know you guys will help us add plenty of fantastic ideas to it! :) A special thanks goes out to Cliff Ravenscraft for working with me on getting set-up and optimized and Pat Flynn for inspiring me to "be everywhere" with the message. How you can help the podcast jump out the gates! The best possible way to help is to listen to the first 2-3 episodes as we put them out - and let us know what you think! Click here to view and/or subscribe via iTunes! (It may take an hour or so for the podcast to show in iTunes, but if you subscribe it WILL download even if it's not showing yet.) :) If you really enjoyed the episode, please leave a quick review (this is done by clicking "view in iTunes"). Great reviews is how iTunes knows which podcasts to share and recommend with others! So as you are SAFELY driving to your friends and family this Christmas and New Years (or you are hitting the gym for that new workout), pop in the podcast and give it a listen. Exciting times! :) Have and amazing holiday season! Xoxoxo, -Baker | 12/22/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
