Let’s stop pretending everyone starts from the same starting line.

Let’s stop pretending everyone starts from the same starting line.

“Just make more money” is not a wealth plan … it’s a cop-out. Because while you’re being told to hustle harder, other families are quietly passing down access, relationships, and generational knowledge most people don’t even know exists.

Wealth isn’t just dollars. It’s legacy. It’s strategy. It’s proximity to power.

And if no one handed it to you, you’ll need to build it differently.

This is what building first-get wealth actually looks like

This whole “I’ll just figure it out myself” mindset is exactly why first-gen wealth feels so damn hard.

Dr. LaTanya White broke it down ….if you’re not reading, not asking the hard questions, not building a coalition inside your own family… you’re not creating wealth.

Here’s the truth:
You might be the first, but you don’t have to be the only.

Start with education. Find your people. Share the playbook. Then go execute.

Nobody’s coming to save your legacy ….so you better build it yourself.

The wrong circle will gaslight you into staying small.

Not everyone in your circle is meant to come with you.

Especially when it comes to wealth.
Sometimes the room you’re in is the reason you feel stuck.

Not your mindset. Not your ambition. Just… the wrong room.
Your community shapes your standards.

And if nobody around you is building anything … guess what?

You’re going to start shrinking to fit in.

This episode is a must if you’ve been craving something bigger but feel like no one around you gets it yet.

Legacy Gaps to Generational Growth

Building wealth from scratch isn’t inspirational—it’s exhausting. For first-generation wealth builders, it’s not just about money. It’s about history, trauma, and breaking cycles that were never meant to be broken. That’s why this episode of NoBS Wealth with Dr. LaTanya White hits so hard.

Dr. White brings years of research on the racial wealth gap, financial trauma, and dynastic wealth to the table. She unpacks why traditional financial advice doesn’t fit those starting without a safety net, why myths like “everyone has the same opportunity” fall flat, and how families can start protecting their legacies now.

From the collapse of the Freedman’s Bank to the hidden truths of America’s wealthiest families, we connect the dots on systemic barriers—and map out what first-gen wealth builders can actually do today. This isn’t theory. It’s a practical roadmap rooted in lived experience, forgiveness, and the power of community.

Don’t Be Surprised by Your Tax Bill: Year-End Tax Planning Strategies That Work

Don’t act surprised by your tax bill.

You didn’t plan ahead. You waited. And now you’re scrambling.

This is what happens when you treat year-end taxes like a to-do list instead of a strategy.

Every time the rules shift, people panic. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Use this quarter to get ahead or keep repeating the same mistakes.

How Misinformation Can Hurt Your Wealth Strategy

The media will give you a sliver of the story and call it fact.

But if you’re only listening to the headlines, you’re missing what actually matters. The info floating around right now? Partially true. But that “big beautiful bill” people keep talking about? It’s being twisted.

This is how misinformation spreads fast and leaves business owners blindsided.

If you want to build real wealth, you’ve got to dig past the surface.

Stop Waiting Until March: Tax Planning Strategies to Save Money Before Year-End

You waited until March to call your tax person…

and now you’re shocked you owe money?

Morgan said it perfectly:
“If you’re handing over a box of receipts and hoping for the best, you’re not planning…you’re reporting.”

Tax planning isn’t something you do after the year ends.

It’s something you do right now.

This is when the smartest business owners sit down and ask:
What pivots can I make before December 31st to minimize what I owe?

That’s how you build wealth.

One Big Beautiful Bill: The Q4 Tax Play for Owners

Headlines made the One Big Beautiful Bill sound like a gift basket. Reality is sharper. If you are a first-gen business owner, the cost of believing clickbait is a surprise tax bill and a lost year of planning. In this episode, I brought in tax pro Morgan Anderson, EA, to break down what actually changes, what only sounds good on TV, and how to use Q4 to get control before the calendar does it for you. We talk through the truth about “no tax on tips,” why some credits phase out or expire, and how to approach entity realities without pretending write-offs are a magic trick. We keep it practical. Owners get a short, repeatable checklist you can run now, questions to vet a real tax pro, and a mindset shift that keeps politics out of your wallet. Watch the full conversation on YouTube and then put the plan to work. Your future self will thank you.

If you’re using AI for video, just know… the internet is laughing at you.

If you’re using AI for video, just know… the internet is laughing at you.

People are spotting this stuff faster than ever. Even your grandma can clock a fake video.

Listen, we use AI in our business. But not for video content.

Why? Because it’s so obvious.

It pulls people out of the experience instead of drawing them in.

You want attention?

Be real. Be smart. Be better than a blurry Elon Musk deepfake.

Why Going All-In on One Platform Will Kill Your Growth | Multi-Platform Content Strategy

You ever had a video hit 40K on TikTok and then absolutely tank on every other platform? We have. That’s the game now. One algorithm will throw you a bone while the others starve you out.

That’s why being on just one platform is a dumb move. You can’t build long-term momentum with short-term flukes.

Get your ass on multiple platforms. Don’t overthink it. Just show up everywhere your audience might be. This isn’t about viral spikes. It’s about staying alive online.

Stop thinking one viral post can cover up your bad website.

@kristina.e_hall came in and said it straight:

If your website sucks, your emails don’t exist, and your internal systems are chaos…

then your social media is just smoke and mirrors.

Likes won’t fix a broken client journey.
Reels won’t repair a bad funnel.
Aesthetic means nothing if the foundation is trash.

I didn’t build this podcast to stroke egos or stack downloads.

I built it because every week, someone’s facing a big decision and getting paralyzed by the wrong voices.

You shouldn’t need a financial dictionary just to take a next step.

So here’s how this works:
➡️ We drop new episodes weekly.
➡️ Each one tackles a topic real people are living through money, trust, partnership, family, legacy.
➡️ Pick the one that fits your next big move.
➡️ Use it. Apply it. Run with it.

And if you’ve got a question for the Collective, send it in.
We’ll bring it to the mic and make it real.

The Truth About Q4 Marketing Strategy

Most businesses lose focus in Q4. They crank out more posts, copy what others are doing, and hope that volume equals results. It doesn’t. In the latest NoBS Wealth conversation, Stoy Hall sits down with Kristina Hall of Hall Social Media to rip apart the myths that hold business owners back during the loudest quarter of the year.

This episode digs into why posting daily won’t save you, how AI is creating more noise than clarity, and why intentional storytelling still wins every time. Kristina shares how she approaches Q4 planning for her clients, the biggest shifts she’s seen in social media this year, and what business owners should be doing right now to prepare for 2026.

If you’re tired of chasing algorithms and posting without purpose, this conversation will hit home. It’s time to stop wasting Q4 and start using it to set up real momentum for the year ahead.

Riverside 2 #3 VEED

I didn’t build the No BS Collective to sound smart. I built it because I was DONE watching people get half-ass advice from “experts” who’ve never been in the trenches.

We’re talking financial planners who actually know what it means to serve divorced women, first-gen families, minority founders, and people who are done having kids.

Accountants who don’t sugarcoat the tax code.

Attorneys, therapists, marketing leaders, insurance assassins.

And one badass woman you’ll never forget when she hits the mic.

You’ll see them. You’ll hear them. You’ll f*cking feel them.

And if you’re wondering why 31… that was my college football number. And I still play to win.

No Fluff. No Bull. Just Real Conversations That Solve Problems.

Most podcasts just scratch the surface.

They give you that little itch but never get deep enough to actually SOLVE anything.

I’m done with that shit.

We made this shift because you deserve more.

You’re gonna hear experts disagree. You’re gonna hear raw truths.

But you’ll never hear bullshit. Not on my watch.
This isn’t just about what’s trending or what sounds smart.

You’re going to walk away with something real to act on TODAY.

No fluff. No maybes. No “think about it” later.

NoBS Collective Reset: Why Wealth Needs Real Talk

Most financial podcasts play the same game: long bios, surface chatter, and recycled advice that doesn’t move the needle. That’s why I reset the format. The NoBS Collective is built differently. It’s a vetted team of professionals who live and breathe wealth—from planners and tax experts to therapists and attorneys—people I trust with my own clients.

In this reset episode, I explain why we’re cutting through the noise, calling out the myths, and going deeper than before. Each episode will follow a clear structure: what the media says, what the experts know, and the action steps you can take now.

This isn’t entertainment—it’s education that changes the way you think about money. If you’re tired of the fluff, this is your place.

Alimony, 50/50, Prenups: The NoBS Divorce Money Playbook

Divorce is a wealth event, not just a life event. Most people don’t realize that until they’ve already lost money, time, and peace of mind. In this episode, I sit down with Certified Divorce Financial Analyst Jamie Lima to expose the myths, lay out the real math, and give you the playbook to walk away without regret. @stoyhall

Jamie and I hit the hard truths:
• Divorce rates spike during recessions, and most people are financially unprepared.
• Alimony is rarely forever—most states push rehabilitative support, not lifetime checks.
• The 50/50 split is a trap. A judge may stamp two $500K assets “equal,” but taxes make a 401(k) worth far less than home equity.
• Attorneys litigate. They don’t build wealth strategies. That’s where a CDFA makes the difference.
• Prenups and postnups aren’t just for the rich—they’re marriage insurance.
• Mediation with a plan saves money. Litigation without strategy bleeds you dry.

Jamie shares his own mistakes—writing 144 alimony checks, letting his lawyer drive the process, and paying the price. He explains where clients waste the most money, how emotional emails and texts drain accounts, and why you need to think like the CEO of your life, not a passenger.

We give you the first moves before you file:

Inventory income, expenses, assets, liabilities.

Secure access to accounts and freeze if needed.

Pull a 3-bureau credit report from annualcreditreport.com.

Protect your health—divorce will drain you if you let it.

Build your team: CDFA, attorney, therapist, and a support system that won’t disappear.

Finally, Jamie previews his Secure Split platform and free toolkit, built to help clients model alimony, child support, pensions, and taxes with clean data instead of guesswork.

This is not theory. It’s battle-tested strategy from someone who’s lived it and now fights so others don’t repeat his mistakes.

Watch the full episode, drop your questions, and share it with someone who needs the truth about divorce and money.
