Jade Warshaw co-hosts The Ramsey Show—the second-largest talk radio show in America—and she's built her reputation on one uncomfortable truth: you already know what to do with your money, you're just not doing it. After she and her husband Sam eliminated over $460,000 in debt (including $280,000 in student loans), Jade discovered that personal finance isn't about spreadsheets and calculations—it's about the lies we tell ourselves and the behaviors we refuse to change. That insight became her bestselling book Money's Not a Math Problem and the foundation of her coaching philosophy: 80% of financial success is behavior, only 20% is knowledge. Today, Jade brings a no-nonsense, straight-talk approach to helping people confront the real reasons they're broke—not their income, not their circumstances, but their mindset.

Darren Prince is an American sports and celebrity agent who built a multi-million-dollar empire representing icons like Magic Johnson, Muhammad Ali, Hulk Hogan, and Charlie Sheen—after starting his first company at 14 and selling it for a million bucks by 20. Behind the success, he battled a 24-year opioid addiction that nearly destroyed him, even while orchestrating the legendary 2002 reconciliation between Ali and Joe Frazier, two of boxing's greatest rivals. Now over 17 years sober, he's become a fierce advocate for recovery, speaking globally about mental health and addiction while running the Aiming High Foundation, where 100% of proceeds fund treatment for those fighting the same demons he conquered.
