The Spiritual Investor

Analyzing where you are as a reason not to start is the first disservice you do to yourself. This week on The Spiritual Investor Podcast you get to meet Elimu Nelson, an actor and private basketball coach who played college basketball at Syracuse and who has been apart of The Spiritual Investor community for well over a year. And for that whole time he's been taking the replays and the podcast and putting them into practice in his life. He opened his brokerage account in October 2025, and at the start of 2026 he was in an awful financial position and decided he was not going to put value on himself in terms of the dollar amount in his bank account. So he dug into what he loves, and he tells the whole story here, including the day his theatrical agency of more than 10 years dropped him and why he was fine with it. In this episode: Why waiting is lack energy, and what happened when Elimu heard it Paying down debt and investing at the same time, because we live in an AND world Buying $50 of a stock at a time and contributing to his Roth every week to keep wood on the fire The question he asks himself: what happened, and what did you make it mean? Why the person with money neutrality over $100 a month can't be the same person who makes $100,000 a month Being committed in action without frenzy, and why people wonder how you're doing it Follow Elimu Nelson on Instagram: @elimu11 Come go deeper with me inside the SI Club, monthly or annual: https://www.thespiritualinvestor.com/siclub

What if there's no right way to do money, only the way you're doing it now? In today's episode of The Spiritual Investor Podcast, I share what's been moving through me lately, from selling a property and finally looking at the details I used to skip, to the stories coming through the SI Club about money neutrality showing up as new clients and new possibilities. I talk about why money neutrality is a practice rather than a permanent state, and how to come back to it when life pulls you out. Then we get practical. I walk through where the market is right now, why treasury yields and oil prices are part of the conversation, and why diversification is one of the most grounded ways I know to hold neutrality in the 3D. In this episode: Why accounting is the history of money, and finance is where the creativity lives How money neutrality helped one member move out of fear and into booking new clients My story of leaving corporate, realizing I was the product, and letting go of how I filtered myself Teaching kids to invest, and the conscious parenting collaboration coming soon to the SI Club The hidden beliefs that push abundance away, and the disentanglement exercise I use to come back to myself A flat market, rising treasury yields, inflation, and why staying invested matters when things feel uncertain If you're interested in learning more about the SI Club, visit thespiritualinvestor.com/siclub.

What happens when you finally get what you asked for… and then contrast shows up? In this episode of The Spiritual Investor Podcast, I share why the path to more money, freedom, and expansion rarely looks the way we think it will and why trying to control the timing can actually keep us stuck. I also looks back at my own path from microbiology to the trading floor to creating The Spiritual Investor, and how none of it could have been planned in advance. In this episode: Why contrast can show up right after expansion How timing creates resistance around what you want What it means to increase your state of allowing Why your next step may have nothing to do with the goal itself How to stop using your current circumstances as proof that something is or isn't working Expanding Money Live starts next week.

You've done the inner work, the retreats, the money mindset courses. So why isn't the money actually in the bank account? I keep noticing the same thing as I read through applications for our next Mastermind round. People have done the personal transformation. A lot of them have had successful careers and can absolutely make money. That was never the issue. The issue is that wealth still doesn't feel effortless, and the dollars still haven't landed. Here's what I see underneath it. Most people are not managing money to wealth. They are managing money to their identity. And most people are spending nearly all of their energetic currency on earning, with almost nothing left over for receiving. In this episode I walk through both, along with what came out of our first ever Mastermind alumni call, where I heard what happens to people years after the container ends. In this episode: Why income does not equal wealth, and what changes when you stop treating them as the same thing Managing money to your identity versus managing money to your wealth The receiving problem that shows up for creative, driven, high performing people Why getting outside of time is the prerequisite for receiving, and how waiting is lack energy Certainty as a creative force, and why uncertainty is the energetic equivalent of half in What I'm reading in the latest inflation and jobs numbers, and why positioning matters more than prediction Resources: The Spiritual Investor Mastermind opens its next round on September 1st.

Something in your life is breaking right now and you have already decided it means you are on the wrong path. What if it means the opposite? In this episode of The Spiritual Investor Podcast, I talk about opportunity, and why the biggest ones almost never arrive looking like opportunity. They arrive as contrast. Warren Buffett made more money in down markets than up ones, and the same principle runs through your money, your relationships, your health, and your work. When you call in a new timeline, your old self does not automatically come with it. What follows is a calibration period, and most people read that period as evidence that something has gone wrong. I also get into what this particular moment is offering us. Momentum is higher than it has ever been. We can do in three days what used to take three years, and AI is accelerating that further. The people who move with it will expand rapidly. The people who resist it will slow down. I share what happened in my own business when I decided to let go last December, what that word actually came to mean, and why we have made more money this year than ever. In this episode: Why the greatest opportunities live in contrast, and how contrast turns into suffering only when we let our interpretation run How to tell the difference between something going wrong and a calibration period into a new timeline What collapsing time actually means, and why your concept of four months is probably wrong Why your money frequency is already visible in what is showing up, and how to shift it through certainty rather than effort How abundance functions as safety instead of a reward you earn later The September Mastermind cohort begins September 1.

What if the thing standing between you and the wealth you want isn't a strategy, but time itself? In this episode of The Spiritual Investor Podcast, I go deep on breaking the structure, one of the five concepts of the SI Method I've been refining over the last eight years. Breaking the structure isn't slowing down to speed up, and it isn't taking a day off. It's grabbing the wheel of your life while it's in full motion and stopping it completely, so that on the other side you can meet yourself newly and create from source rather than from the past. I share how this played out for one of my Mastermind students, a fintech CFO who spent twenty four hours alone in a tent with no book, no wifi, nothing, and what she discovered on the other side of that. I also talk about why suffering and time are conceptually linked, how AI is collapsing time and leveling the playing field, and why I keep money on a different shelf entirely. In this episode: What breaking the structure actually is (and what it isn't) Why suffering is a perception, and how removing it removes time The link between certainty, need, and full love How I planned my way into early retirement by changing my state of allowing Why AI collapsing time is an invitation, not a threat This is the work we go vertical on inside the Mastermind.
