The Origin Story
1991
Brian becomes a Financial Mutant
Brian's high school economics teacher told his class, “I am so jealous of you. If you invest just $100 per month starting today, you will be a millionaire.” Brian was introduced to the power of compounding interest and his passion for personal finance was ignited.
The Money Guy Show is born.
Brian's imagination was captured by his first iPod and the discovery of this thing called “podcasting.” His desire to make great financial advice available to everyone (not just his clients) made the creation of his own show a no-brainer.
2006
2010
The podcast takes off.
The Money Guy Show consistently ranked in the Top 10 business podcasts on iTunes over the next several years. In 2010, Bo Hanson joined the show and brought not only his own expertise, but also the conversational, brotherly dynamic you know and love today.
The YouTube channel launches.
After being hired to create financial training videos for over-the-road truckers, the team realized there was an opportunity to put the podcast on the booming platform of YouTube. This revolutionized the show all over again and introduced smart financial strategies to a whole new audience.
2017
2020
The first Money Guy course launches.
The team realized the need for a deeper dive on certain financial concepts, along with the desire for a more personal touch and concise format. The Financial Order of Operations course was born and met with great appreciation. And that was just the beginning.
The show hits 100,000 YouTube subscribers!
Amazed at the Money Guy family's enthusiasm and loyalty to the show, the channel crossed the milestone of 100,000 subscribers, and over 1 million views per month - and just keeps growing!
