Millionaire Money Playbook | Jackson Larimer | Growing Money with Sean Trace

Growing Money with Sean Trace

In this episode of the Growing Money with Sean Trace podcast, I sit down with financial coach and counselor Jackson Larimer, host of the Money with Jackson podcast and a creator of a powerful millionaire interview series, to dig into what really separates people who get rich once from those who stay wealthy over the long term.

Jackson walks me through the three main millionaire paths, the stock market, real estate, and business ownership, and we talk about how financial education, simple tools, and a clear “why” matter more than flashy strategies or complex products. I share my own journey, from going back for my MBA and realizing it did not actually teach me practical money skills, to discovering concepts like cash flow, return on investment, and the Profit First method and finally getting honest about my own financial blind spots. Together we unpack why a basic intentional spending plan and a net worth statement can dramatically lower stress, why so many people feel controlled by money instead of using it as a tool, and how marketing and lifestyle pressure push people into buying new cars and luxury stuff before they’ve built real assets. Jackson shares a personal story from his time as a missionary in Guatemala that completely reframed how he thinks about giving and financial literacy, and we both dive into lifestyle design, aligning money with personal values, and turning “being broke and stressed” problems into “just a speed bump” problems through financial optionality.

If you want to learn how everyday people actually become millionaires, how to keep your wealth once you build it, and how to create more freedom for your future self and your family, this episode is a real-world, no fluff masterclass.
