The Brian Turner Show

8. What If Resilience Is the Investment That Pays the Greatest Return?

Sometimes the moments that take everything from us become the ones that define us. On this episode of The Brian Turner Show, Brian sits down with retired internist and geriatrician Dr. Andrew Kundrat for a moving conversation about resilience and the importance of leaning in during challenging times. Dr. Kundrat reflects on how the Agnes Flood of 1972 affected his working-class immigrant family. Facing the devastating loss of their home, he talks about the experience rebuilding the house alongside his father while attending high school and working multiple jobs. However, this is not only a story about survival. Through discipline and service, Dr. Kundrat shares how the hardship transformed his understanding of family, security, money, and purpose, which became his foundation for both financial and personal fulfillment. This conversation is a reminder that a wealthy life is not built through accumulation alone, but through resilience, responsibility, and the values we pass on to the people we love.

7. What If Letting Go Is the Real Path to Wealth?

What happens when you stop chasing everything you thought you needed and start experiencing what actually fulfills you? On this episode of The Brian Turner Show, Brian sits down with the owner of Ojas Retreat Center, Gabrielle Kali Om, for a conversation about breaking away from convention and stepping into a life shaped by purpose, practice, and presence. Gabrielle shares her journey from a traditional upbringing to one defined by adventure, sailing, and spiritual discovery, revealing how discipline, mentorship, and early life challenges laid the groundwork for a liberated lifestyle. At the center of that transformation is yoga, not just as a physical practice, but as a philosophy that reshaped how she understands purpose, attachment, and what it means to live freely. She explores the shift from seeking external achievement to cultivating internal alignment, and how true understanding comes not from knowledge, but from lived experience through consistent practice. From teaching students across generations to embracing simplicity, Gabrielle shows how the principles of yoga can be applied far beyond the mat. This is a conversation about redefining wealth through presence, compassion, and ease of being. A reminder that the most meaningful life is not built by accumulation, but through freedom, health, and the courage to live in alignment with your values.

6. How Do You Build a Healthy Life Where Your Time Is Truly Yours?

Money can buy many things. But what it really gives you is choice. On this episode of The Brian Turner Show, Brian sits down with entrepreneur, fitness coach, and The Mindful Movement co-founder Les Raymond for a wide-ranging conversation about health, time, and what it actually means to live a wealthy life. Les shares his philosophy on movement, not just in the gym, but in life. From how we use our bodies to how we spend our time and energy, everything comes back to intention. Drawing from his work with clients and his own journey, he explores why health is the foundation for everything we want to do and how financial security simply creates the opportunity to choose. The conversation moves through fitness, stress, nutrition, and the tradeoffs we make every day. It also touches on how we think about money itself, from saving and spending to emerging ideas like Bitcoin, not as speculation, but as a way to store the value of your time and effort. It is a conversation about aligning your health, your time, and your choices with what actually matters. And about the idea that a wealthy life is not something you accumulate. It is something you practice.

5. What Do You Prioritize When Money Is No Longer the Constraint?

Financial security is not the end goal. It is the starting point. On this episode of The Brian Turner Show, Brian sits down with tax partner principal Rivka Bier for a thoughtful conversation about financial security, self-awareness, and what it really takes to live with intention. Rivka shares why wealth starts with security. The ability to meet your needs, plan for the future, and create the foundation for something more. From there, the conversation expands into how we define goals, how we separate wants from needs, and how small, intentional decisions shape the lives we build. Drawing from her work, her leadership philosophy, and her role as a mother of four, Rivka explores how these principles apply across every domain. Family, business, and personal growth. This is a conversation about building a life that reflects who you are and who you want to become. And about the idea that a wealthy life is not found. It is created through clarity, intention, and action.

4. When Does Freedom Arrive After a Lifetime of Rebuilding?

What does it really take to build a life and then rebuild it again and again? On this episode of The Brian Turner Show, Brian sits down with entrepreneur Michael DeMos for a deeply personal conversation about resilience, reinvention, and the long road to freedom. From a childhood shaped by instability and survival to building and losing businesses, Michael shares the honest truth about what it means to bet on yourself when there is no safety net. Along the way, Michael reflects on the experiences that shaped him. Joining the Army to pay for college. Discovering the unpredictable highs and lows of entrepreneurship. Losing nearly everything and starting over multiple times. And ultimately redefining what “enough” really means. But this conversation goes far beyond business or financial success. It is about the people who show up when life breaks open. A friend who writes a check with no questions asked. Clients who become lifelong allies. And a father whose final years helped Michael understand what truly matters. Now recently retired, Michael is stepping into a new chapter. Trading deadlines and deals for exploration, family, and the freedom to “surf the wave” of whatever comes next. It is a powerful reflection on risk, purpose, relationships, and the quiet realization that wealth may not be what you accumulate. It may be what you are finally free to experience.
