• Learning to Think Like a Multi-Millionaire (with Sam Dogen) SB1681

  What do most millionaires have in common? No, it’s not a yacht named “Compound Interest.” It’s mindset. In this episode, Joe Saul-Sehy and OG kick off Mindset Week by welcoming Sam Dogen, the Financial Samurai himself, to help you start your journey toward a million-dollar net worth—one intentional step at a time. Sam shares why building wealth is less about luck and more about grit, clear goals, and a killer savings rate. He explains why $250,000 is the magic milestone where compounding takes over, why your “why” is more important than your budget, and how a simple house-to-car ratio can reveal whether you’re cruising toward financial freedom or stuck in the valet lane. You'll learn: Why your first $250,000 is the hardest (and most critical) How to find your “why” and let it drive your money decisions Why some people crush millionaire goals while others stall out The pros and cons of prioritizing student loan payoff How real estate, entrepreneurship, and mindset play a role in long-term success Plus, Doug delivers trivia about the world’s most millionaire-dense country (hint: it’s not the U.S.), and Joe announces a live event with Boldin’s Steve Chen to help you master retirement planning tools. All that and a wink toward OG’s dream car obsession (which definitely didn’t come from the after-show... wink wink). 💥 Want to level up your financial thinking? This episode is your launching pad.
