  What's up everybody and welcome to the Personal Finance Podcast. I'm your host Andrew, founder of MasterMoney.co. And today on the Personal Finance Podcast, we have a really exciting announcement. Because you know, for years, I've had one goal. My goal is to help as many people as possible, master their money and build a life of true freedom. In fact, my ultimate goal is to create a million millionaires. That is what I truly, truly want to do. And today, we're taking that mission to the next level. Because I am so excited to officially announce the launch of Master Money Academy. Now, this is the community built to help you finally take control of your money, stay motivated, stay accountable, and get coached every step of the way.

• 1:00Andrew Giancola?

  Now, if you've ever felt like you're doing this money thing alone, you feel like you're trying to figure it all out on YouTube or TikTok with no clear plan, this is for you. Because inside the Academy, you're going to get a step-by-step roadmap, you're going to get weekly live coaching from me and my team, and a community of wealth builders who are working on the same path. Now, this isn't just about learning how money works, it's about transforming your entire financial life. Because when you master your money, you unlock freedom, freedom for your family, freedom over your time, and freedom over your future. And that's what we all want. Our ultimate goal is to have freedom within our life, and money is the tool that can help you get there. So today, I'm going to break it all down for you.

• 1:42Andrew Giancola?

  What's inside, why we built it, and how this community can help you create the life you've always wanted. Let's get into it. Now, for a lot of you out there, here is what life looks like before you join something like Master Money Academy. Money can feel chaotic, and you're trying to do all of this alone. And trying to do things alone is just never the way to accomplish anything. You're reading random advice online with no clear direction. This is what so many people do. They take pieces of advice from TikTok. Talk, they take pieces of advice from YouTube, they take pieces of advice from podcasts, and they try to piece it all together. And what happens is most likely you start to feel behind, even if you're doing okay, but you really don't even know, am I doing okay? Or is this something where I am behind everyone else?

• 2:26Andrew Giancola?

  And I really don't know what to do next. But here's what life is going to look like after joining Master Money Academy. You're going to have a clear, step-by-step plan. And we put something together called The Wealth Builder's Journey that shows you step-by-step exactly what to do. And you're surrounded by people who are going to cheer you on every single week. We have wealth wins that we talk about every single week. And people in the community who are working on a common goal are all cheering you on. You're getting expert coaching by me with some real-time answers. And you're going to feel confident, automated, and free when it comes to your money. Now, here's your transformation overall. You're going to have clarity with your money. You're going to be confident with your money. You're going to have control over your money. And all of this is going to lead to financial freedom. This isn't just about money.

• 3:09Andrew Giancola?

  It's about changing your life trajectory, your stress levels, and your family's future. Our ultimate goal is to reduce your stress and anxiety around money and give you the ability to actually create financial freedom. Because wealth doesn't happen by accident. It happens by design. And this community helps you design it. What we are trying to do is show you the steps and show you the way so that you can design your dream life. Now, there are a bunch of reasons why community matters and why you should be a part of a community. Most people try to master money alone, and that is why they quit. If you've been doing this alone forever and you have nobody to talk to about this stuff, that changes today because accountability is everything.

• 3:51Andrew Giancola?

  And when you have people walking beside you, you actually stick to your plan. Now, community is going to give you a bunch of different things. First, it's going to give you motivation when life gets busy. All of us are extremely busy. We have things like our jobs. We have maybe the kids. You have life going on. And so you need to stay motivated when life gets busy. We also provide accountability when you want to quit. So a lot of people, when they get started with their money, they get on that path and they're really excited, but they don't have the discipline place where We're going to give you that accountability so that you become financially disciplined. Also, we're going to give you support when you hit challenges. So life throws challenges at everyone and we're going to give you the support that you need so that you don't quit, so that you actually stay on track and not just stay on track,

• 4:35Andrew Giancola?

  but thrive with your money. And then we're going to celebrate with you when you win. One of my favorite things about Master Money Academy is all the wins that are being celebrated every single week, where every Friday we talk about our wins and some of the big and small wins that we've had over the course of the last week. And it is so cool to see everybody posting their wins and we're all just celebrating it together. And here's the cool thing is you're going to be around like-minded people who actually care about getting financially free. So our founding wealth builders, the folks that we launched this with, the small group that we launched this with, truly care about getting financially free. And it is so incredibly powerful to see how that as a community is shaping every single one of their lives. And you can think of this as your financial gym. If you show up consistently, you're going to get stronger at the gym.

• 5:19Andrew Giancola?

  Well, if you show up consistently in Master Money Academy, you are going to get stronger with your finances. This is one of the best things that you can do for your money overall. Now, some of the core things that we do at Master Money Academy is one, we keep you inspired and consistent through motivation. One of the big things that we do is we motivate you and we ensure that you are consistently working on your financial goals. Two is accountability. So we have weekly goals, wins and check-ins so that you can ensure that you are doing the things you're supposed to be doing. Three is coaching. So we're going to coach you through your progress so that you don't feel like you have questions unanswered. So you do live sessions with me and my team and we're going to help you in our group coaching. Now, for those of you who don't know out there, I have one-on-one coaching that we offer.

• 6:02Andrew Giancola?

  Now, I never, ever talk about it because we're always sold out with one-on-one coaching, but I charge $500 an hour for one-on-one coaching. In Master Money Academy, you're getting a crazy discount on that and you're going to get access to me frequently. Right now, we're doing our coaching calls every single week. And so this is a powerful way for you to invest in your financial future. You're also going to get clarity. So you're going to finally know what to do next on your financial journey. Have you ever gotten to a point in time where you're like, do I save for my emergency fund? Do I pay off this debt? Do I start investing? Know what to do next. No, we give you clarity with our clear step-by-step roadmap. Also, you're going to be taking action. So we don't just teach, we help you take action on some of this stuff. We're not just going to sit there and feed you information. No, we're going to help you take action on some of your financial goals.

• 6:45Andrew Giancola?

  And then we're going to teach you how to make progress. Progress over perfection is one of the most important things that we talk about. And we build habits that actually compound. So what's inside Master Money Academy? Let's say that you're like, yeah, I want to transform my finances. I want to get better with my money. But what is actually inside Master Money Academy? Well, first, we have what is called the Wealth Builders Journey. Now, the Wealth Builders Journey is our 25-step roadmap that takes you from chaos to financial independence. What do I mean by that? This is our step-by-step plan. I put together 25 steps that is going to help you get your money right. So we start off with foundations, how to set up your accounts properly, how to set up your credit cards properly, how to start automating your money, what insurances you need to get.

• 7:28Andrew Giancola?

  Then we talk through your spending plan and how to put together a budget properly, how to start saving for your emergency fund, how to start paying off high-interest debt if you're in debt. And we talk through how to make sure all of those contributions are automatic. Because at Master Money Academy, we talk about full automation. We want you fully automating your finances throughout this entire process. Then we go through how to increase your income. We talk through ways to find margin in your budget, meaning finding extra dollars in your budget so that you can put it towards financial freedom. We talk about ways to negotiate your bills so that you can reduce your monthly costs every single month. Then we get into investments and how to accelerate and grow that income faster,

• 8:08Andrew Giancola?

  how to take those extra dollars and put them towards investments, the order that you need to be investing in based on your financial situation. We tell you the exact accounts in what order to invest in, when you should start saving for a down payment on a house, or when should you pay off your mortgage, or when should you save for a wedding or a car? All of those different orders of operations. That's all covered in the Wealth Builders Journey. It covers everything from your emergency fund to debt to investing to advanced wealth strategies. And it's going to give you milestones and structure, so there's no more guessing on what to do next. Also, inside Master Money Academy, we have live coaching. So right now, we're going live every single week to answer your questions and coach you through your next steps. And you can get personalized help on the exact roadblock you're facing. In addition, we have hot seats. So what hot seats are, is we have members volunteer to go

• 8:53Andrew Giancola?

  deep into their money situation live. And everyone learns from these real examples, and they're powerful, and they're practical teaching moments. In fact, next week, we're coaching someone through a process to help them get a raise, and they're going to try to negotiate their salary. On hot seats, we've also talked through and coached people through their exact financial situations, talking through, hey, you need to automate money here. You need to look at some of these various things within your budget. You need to prioritize some of these accounts. And everybody learns live, and you can even give feedback live as we're going through that process. Then we have small groups. So small groups are basically many masterminds surrounding a specific goal. Right now, we just launched a couple of small groups, like Investing for Beginners, or Increasing Your Income Small Group. We have other groups coming up, like Tax Strategy, or High Earnings Small Group,

• 9:37Andrew Giancola?

  or Entrepreneurs, or people who are trying to get out of debt. Our goal is to launch small groups based on whatever your current financial goals are. Now, these are designed so that you can connect with people who are on the same path as you. We also have a book club. The High Performance Book Club is happening live inside of Master Money Academy, where every single month, we choose a book as a community to read, and everybody goes through that book. Now, this is not required, it's just an added benefit. But if you want to learn more and progress in life, we have that book club available to you, and we talk through those books. In addition, we have all of our courses also inside Master Money Academy. So we have Index Fund Pro, which as a standalone is $150. We have Master Your Money Goals, which is, as a standalone, is $99. And we have a ton of courses coming

• 10:20Andrew Giancola?

  up, from how to negotiate your salary, to how to teach your kids about money, how to accelerate your income. There is so much more coming inside of some of these courses that we are building out right now. And then we have ongoing discussions. So there's a place to ask questions, there's a place to share wins, and get support anytime. You'll never be alone in trying to figure this stuff out again, because we have some really smart people already in Master Money Academy, who have some tremendous financial knowledge. And so the cool thing here is that everybody is working together towards one common goal. Want to use money as a tool to achieve financial freedom. Also, we have levels in Master Money Academy. So you can unlock Master Money swag. You can unlock one-on-one coaching with me and so much more. As you start to earn levels and badges through your journey.

• 11:04Andrew Giancola?

  This helps build momentum and every single milestone is something to celebrate. Because wealth building should feel exciting and not stressful. Most of you feel stress and anxiety with your money. Wealth building should be exciting and you should have confidence with your money. And that's exactly what we're doing here. Now, why does all this matter? Because you can't outsource your financial future. No one is coming to save you. So you have to take ownership and this academy is going to help you do that. The biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don't is consistency, community and clarity. We're going to give you all three of those in Master Money Academy. Now imagine where you would be 12 months from now. If you actually took action, spent an hour every single week inside of Master Money Academy and actually started to work on your wealth building goals. How much clarity you would have, how much better you would feel about your money.

• 11:49Andrew Giancola?
