Play Long-Term Games With People

What if the biggest upgrade to your finances wasn't a new strategy but a new way of thinking?

Joe Saul-Sehy and OG unpack the small but powerful money mindset shifts that separate people who know what to do from people who actually make progress. This isn't about motivation posters or vague positivity. It's about practical mental frameworks that lead to better decisions, fewer regrets, and more confidence with money.

The team walks through their top five money mindset tweaks. How to focus on strengths instead of endlessly fixing shortcomings. Why taking action beats overthinking every time. How playing long-term games with the right people changes everything. Along the way, they connect mindset directly to real-world choices, like how thinking clearly about value, longevity, and opportunity cost affects something as everyday as buying a car.

That's where Carl Brauer from iSeeCars joins the conversation with insight into which vehicles deliver the best long-term value. It's a perfect case study in mindset-driven money decisions. Not chasing shiny objects, but choosing options that quietly compound in your favor.

If you've ever felt like you're doing most things right but not seeing the results you want, this episode helps you zoom out, recalibrate, and move forward with intention.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

• The five mindset shifts that consistently lead to better money outcomes
• Why progress comes from doing rather than perfecting your plan first
• How understanding compounding changes the way you view time, effort, and money
• Why focusing on your strengths beats trying to fix every weakness
• How to think about purchases like cars through a long-term value lens
• The power of playing long-term games with people who think the same way

THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: You feel like you know what to do with money but struggle to actually do it, you're tired of motivational content that doesn't translate into real change, you want to understand why some people progress faster with less effort, you're making a big purchase soon and want to think about it more clearly, or you believe the way you think about money matters as much as what you do with it.

Sometimes the most profitable move isn't changing your plan. It's changing how you think about the plan.
