Paul Moore and Josh Thomas host How to Lose Money, but don't let the title fool you. This is a wealth-building conversation built on a simple, powerful premise: the most valuable lessons often come from what went wrong, not what went right. Each episode delves into the honest, sometimes gut-wrenching stories behind business failures and costly missteps. You'll hear from entrepreneurs in the thick of a tough season and executives analyzing strategic errors, all sharing the hard-won insights they gained in the process. The focus isn't on the failure itself, but on the clarity and resilience forged in those moments. For anyone building a business, leading a team, or simply fascinated by the real, unvarnished path to success, this podcast offers a unique and compelling perspective. New conversations arrive every Monday, providing a regular dose of practical wisdom earned the hard way. Tune in for a refreshingly candid look at how the road to financial and professional growth is often paved with lessons learned from losing.
