ABOUT
Master your money with the Red, White and Green Show. Learn the “Peanut Butter Pay Raise” trap, how to read your pay stub (FICA, OASDI, & Medicare), and 3 hacks to make $1,000 fast using capitalism.
In this episode, Ted Jenkin and Southside Steve Rickman break down the fundamental financial lessons they didn’t teach you in school. From why “across the board” raises kill motivation to analyzing the market shift of Axe Body Spray as a lesson in personal rebranding, we’re showing you how to “retool” your skills for 2026. We also tackle the “Money Hacks” segment, focusing on generating $1,000 in quick cash by renting your tools or selling assets you haven’t touched in a year.
In The Green Room segment, Mike Gill joins the show to reveal the grit behind his rise from high-level corporate executive at Sears and Lennox to leading Andy Lewis-Hobson Heating and Air Conditioning. Mike delivers a “no-BS” masterclass on the “leap of faith” required to leave a steady paycheck and build a successful independent legacy. If you are ready to understand the true meaning of wealth—defined by control over your time rather than just a dollar amount—this deep dive into professional risk-taking and family values is your blueprint.
