Description

The Upgraded Man Journal is the part of every episode where the guest reads what the last guest left behind, answers it honestly, and then writes something for the man who comes next. No prep. No script. Just the question and whatever comes up.

This week it is Phillip Lanier, founder of Your Money Essentials and Core Business Essentials. Before he built and sold a company, he and his wife were homeless. He teaches money now to people who feel behind, and he does it without shame.

The question left for him came from Doctor Joseph Charles Hagan: if the goal you were chasing was not impossible, what would that goal be, and what would you do?

Here is what comes out of it:

• The goal Phillip says feels impossible, which is building a financial class from nothing and then getting people to actually want to work on their money.
• Why he says the hard part is not the building. It is that nobody wakes up excited to look at their finances.
• The move he makes on the spot. Write the goal down, put it on display on the window right in front of his desk, and stare at it every single day.
• Chris on the reason most men never chase the thing they say they want. Not money. Not time. What other people might think.
• The line Phillip leaves for the next guest, and the story of hearing it on a podcast, pulling his car over, and having to collect himself before he could drive again.
• Why that line landed so hard on a guy who spent years on construction sites and started feeling like he did not fit anymore.

If you have a goal sitting in your head that you have never written down anywhere, this one is about fifteen minutes of your day away from being fixed. Write it down. Put it where you cannot avoid it.
