Season 3- Episode 68- Know Yourself, Know Your Money with Rachel Cruze Bestselling Author, Financial Expert, and Host of The Rachel Cruze Show

Rachel Cruze is a two-time #1 national best-selling author, financial expert, and host of The Rachel Cruze Show. She has appeared on Good Morning America, TODAY Show, and Live! With Kelly & Ryan, among others. Since 2010, Rachel has served at Ramsey Solutions, where she teaches people to avoid debt, save money, budget, and how to win with money at any stage in life. Growing up as Dave Ramsey's daughter, Rachel hated budgeting for years until she experienced the freedom of budgeting for herself. Rachel now shares fun, practical ways to take control of your money and create a life you love.

In this episode, Clint and Rachel talk about careers, life, marriage and finance, and daily habits. There is value in being intentional with your life, whether it's your early mornings, the work you're doing, parenting, marriage, or money. When you do stuff with a plan and purpose, your life creates so much better value than just floating through. We all have seasons where we can kind of float. But when you have something that you're working towards, there's a greater value in life when you're intentional with it.

Season 3- Episode 68- Know Yourself, Know Your Money with Rachel Cruze Bestselling Author, Financial Expert, and Host of The Rachel Cruze Show

It's midday, and you are left with a list of supplies to gather and told me to meet in front of the house in an hour. A helicopter picks you up, and you spend the next 36 hours on a mission, with automatic weapons, repelling, car chases, shootouts, kidnapping, explosions, fires, and a hostage situation. You see blood and smell smoke, and in the back of your head, you know it's not real, but it feels real. That experience, the hyper-realistic mission, was Cam Johnston's dream. After Cam completed his career with the Navy Seals and had a run-in with the film industry’s leading personnel, his dream came to life. Cam created Greystone to immerse his guests inside an adrenaline-packed world that quickly becomes a reality.

In this episode, Clint interviews Cam Johnston. They talk about how our comfort zone holds us back, how we can explore the impossible, and why intense scenarios cause us to reevaluate our priorities.
