Money Mindsets That Wipeout Wealth | FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

As we head into 2026, Ryan Michler breaks down 10 destructive money mindsets that quietly sabotage men’s ability to build real wealth.

Drawing from his experience as a former financial advisor, Ryan explains why income is not the same as wealth, how debt has been falsely normalized, and why outsourcing responsibility for your finances is a losing strategy. He challenges the belief that “more money will fix everything” and dismantles the idea that your situation is somehow different from everyone else’s.

This episode is a hard-hitting call to take ownership of your financial decisions, develop discipline, and shift your focus from chasing money to creating real value in the world.
