Financial pressure can expose cracks in our discipline, our identity, and even our marriage. In this episode, Tom sits down with Tony Sablan, financial advisor, coach, and founder of Ultimate Wealth Strategies, to talk about what happens when money stops being a tool and starts becoming a mirror. Tony brings a unique angle from two worlds: decades in MMA coaching and years of helping families build plans that survive real life, including downturns, transitions, and hard seasons.
They unpack “offense and defense” in finances, why most people never build a true plan, and how small habits (the coffee, the Amazon boxes, the “only $20” purchases) quietly shape outcomes over time. Tom gets personal about seasons when money amplified insecurity and pride, and why peace, consistency, and presence at home matter more than appearances. Together they challenge listeners to move beyond shame, stop reacting, and start building structure that protects your family without strangling your growth.
If you feel buried in debt, fear, or regret, what is one honest first step you can take today to move from setback to strategy?
