Successful financial adviser and CEO of The Good Money Framework Derrick Kinney has released his podcast called Good Money. Featuring well-known industry professionals, influencers, and business leaders like Daymond John, Sharon McMahon, and Matthew McConaughey, the podcast aims to educate listeners on how to build their net worth and use it for good.
“Good money in the hands of good people gets good work done,” explains Kinney, who was named the “Best in State” Financial Advisor by Forbes Magazine. “I’m teaching them how to make more money, save more money and how to give more away by attaching purpose and meaning to what they are doing.”
Kinney’s podcast is centered around his 7-Part Good Money Framework (which launched in 2019 and gets 20,000 downloads an episode due to its nature, stressing the importance of identifying your Generosity Purpose) so you can give more money to the causes you care deeply about. According to Kinney, it is easier to build wealth when there is a clear motivation behind it. “Making money for the sake of having money doesn’t necessarily lead to more meaning and life satisfaction,” he explains. “People who tie in a meaningful cause or passion as a reason to make more money will often experience greater personal income and business growth because it hones their purpose for what they are doing. So by getting laser-focused on the impact, they want to have, they often make more, can save more, and can give more to the causes they care about.”
Kinney’s goal is to change the way people think about money and empower them to use it positively. “Many people have the wrong money mindset,” he says. “They grew up believing that money is bad and they’re afraid to make it. Then once they have it, they’re afraid to give it away. I want to change this as much as I can.” Kinney’s approach of giving away money to make money may seem counter-intuitive, but he believes it’s the key to sustainable growth. “It’s tempting to hoard your wealth once you’ve made it. I think it’s better to give some of it away. It makes you feel good while helping other people.”
After powerfully applying these principles in his own business and with countless clients for over 25 years, Kinney recently sold his multi-million dollar business to teach these principles full-time and empower others to grow their net worth. As a certified financial educator, he makes complex financial topics easy to understand and is a sought-after guest on local and national media where he has been interviewed on CNBC, FOX News, CNN, FOX Business, PBS, Wall Street Journal, and Money Magazine, among others.
