    This episode went out to Sunnybranch clients, explaining the trades I put through in their portfolios last week in response to changing conditions in the bond market.

    Do you get this level of detail (plus explanations you can actually understand) from your advisor?

  • How to ask your rich parents for money (and actually get it)
    Jun 11 2026

    FULL EPISODE AND SHOW NOTES: www.sunnybranchwealth.com/blog/2026-asking-parents-for-money

    Your parents told you they want to give you money.

    But they haven’t done anything yet.

    And it's been months, or even years.

    So what can you do to move things along?

    Would you believe me if I told you a PowerPoint is your best next step?

    Seriously, head on back to junior year of high school and dust off those animation and fly-in skills.

    In this episode, I teach you how to build an A+ presentation that will get your parents to give you money.

    This is a skill set I've been building since I was sixteen, and now I'm giving you all my tips and tricks:

    • Finding the right setting
    • Framing a shared fear
    • Getting vulnerable with your balance sheet

    So you can stop dancing around family money conversations and get down to serious business.

    Whether you’re seeking help with a house, college funding for your kids, or just more open money conversations in your family, this episode has what you need to know.
