In this episode Dawn dives into how our relationships with ourself and others develops. In the home environment for sure, but also when we enter and go through the educational system. In Claim Your Dream Life, Dawn explains how we have BIG DREAMS when we are children, believing we can be and do anything we want. Then we become conditioned over time to temper our dreams and be "realistic". By they time we reach adulthood, sadly just earning a steady paycheck is often our new “Dream”.
What can we do? Dawn believes the answer lies in revamping the current system as our Industrial Era educational system’s one-size-fits-all approach often leaves students disconnected with each other, bored and disinterested in learning. There is good news.
A non-profit called Transcend is partnering with communities to LISTEN to young people and learn how we can reinvent learning and the educational system.

Although reluctant to go to Las Vegas with her friend for a network marketing convention, Dawn got out of her comfort zone and went anyway. Apparently, it was her date with destiny as the keynote speaker was Robert Kiyosaki. Dawn had heard about his books, but never read any of them.
The information she heard was truly life changing. In fact, Rich Dad Poor Dad is The #1 Best-Selling Personal Finance Book - Ever. The Cash Flow Quadrant, is actually Kiyosaki’s second book. It goes further in depth about the framework he introduces in the first book. They both books are both worth a read, in Dawn's opinion.

She felt she looked older than she should and was worried that the rest of her life was going to be like that. Old, fat and wrinkled, no longer valued at work and stuck with unsatisfying personal relationships.
She went to her doctor, thinking there had to be something physically wrong with her. After a thorough exam she was told there was nothing wrong with her, she was just getting older! Shortly after, she encountered an 80 year old woman celebrating her birthday at a local restaurant. She was vibrant - laughing and having fun with her group so engaged and fully enjoying herself. Diana wanted to be that woman.

In celebration of Labor Day, in the USA this episode is devoted to the workers of the world. Dawn shares information and data from the US, but the trend she discusses isn’t limited to that country. There's a good reason we see so much labor unrest, with union workers striking, non-union workers organizing and pretty much all workers falling behind economically.
Dawn examines the growth of CEO pay where compensation of the top CEOs has increased 1,322.2% from 1978 to 2020. Top CEO compensation grew roughly 60% faster than stock market growth during the same period and far exceeded the 18.0% growth in a typical worker’s pay. During the pandemic the dramatic increase in CEO compensation was obscene. While millions were out of work, CEOs’ pay shot up 18.9% in 1 year.
The CEO-to-worker compensation ratio was 21-to-1 in 1965. It peaked at 366-to-1 in 2000. In 2020 the ratio was 351-to-1. The makeup of CEO compensation is shifting away from stock options, to stock awards. Vested stock awards and exercised stock options totaled $20.1 million in 2020 and accounted for 83.1% of CEO pay.
Corporate boards running America’s largest public firms are giving top executives outsize compensation packages that have grown much faster than the stock market, typical workers salaries, college graduates, and even the top 0.1%. What can be done?
Listen and discover:
1. How primates (including humans) are hard wired for fairness and what happens when it is removed in scientific experiments
2. Why we should care about income and economic inequality and how it impacts society.
3. Policy considerations to fix the corrupt CEO compensation system.
4. What you can do at the individual level to make a difference and minimize the damage.

Finally, for or over twenty-five years, Your Money or Your Life has been considered THE go-to book for taking back your life by changing your relationship with money. Hundreds of thousands of people have followed the nine-step program outlined in the book, to live more deliberately and meaningfully.

The NEW definition of RICH is the ability to do what you want, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want. With ENOUGH money to do so, in a word: FREEDOM. But as Dawn explains in this episode, freedom isn't free. The Law of Sacrifice means there is always an exchange involved. What is the cost of that freedom?
Listen and you'll learn:
1. The key element required to "buy" your Freedom.
2. What cost is involved and must be paid for a wide, open spacious calendar.
3. A key to getting off the living paycheck to paycheck treadmill.
