The Brian Turner Show

Wealth is never just about money. On The Brian Turner Show, Brian Turner explores the emotional, psychological, and deeply human dimensions of wealth...how money shapes our choices, our relationships, our identities, and the lives we build. Through intimate, wide-ranging conversations with thinkers, leaders, creatives, and people navigating real inflection points, the show looks beyond balance sheets and portfolios to ask harder questions: What does wealth mean? What are we responsible for when we have it (or when we don’t)? How do fear, power, legacy, loss, and opportunity show up in our financial lives? Episodes move fluidly between finance and lived experience: divorce, inheritance, generosity, parenting, career transitions, community, identity, and purpose. Brian brings his background in finance together with curiosity, empathy, and candor...creating space for guests to grapple honestly with money as security, freedom, burden, and possibility. This is

  15. Is Your Wealth Serving a Greater Purpose?

  Aug 18, 20261h 31mS1

  What is the purpose of wealth if we never decide what we want it to accomplish? On this episode of The Brian Turner Show, Brian sits down with Jay Nwachu, President & CEO of Innovation Works and Ignite Capital, for a conversation about community, purpose, and entrepreneurship. Born in Nigeria and arriving in the United States at age 12, Jay reflects on the experiences that shaped his understanding of responsibility and success. From his father’s steady work as an accountant to his mother’s self-owned beauty salon, he grew up with the belief that taking care of yourself and serving the people around you do not have to be competing goals. That philosophy now shapes how Jay thinks about wealth and what it means to use it in service of something greater. His work centers on supporting mission-driven entrepreneurs and helping build businesses that create jobs and opportunities in Baltimore.  Together, he and Brian explore the tension between individual prosperity and community wealth, the responsibility that can accompany inherited resources, and the danger of pursuing money without first understanding its purpose. This episode is a reminder that accumulating wealth is not the end. The deeper question is how we use it to make meaningful choices, what we choose to do with the opportunities it creates, and how legacy impacts the people we leave behind.If you’d like to learn more about Jay’s work, reach out to him at https://ignitecapital.org/ and https://iwbmore.org/.   If you’d like to reach out to Brian, connect with him on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-turner-procyon.

  13. What If the Gold Is Already in You?

  Jul 21, 20261h 3mS1

  What if the greatest wealth is not something you acquire, but something you help someone discover within themselves? On this episode of The Brian Turner Show, Brian sits down with Pastor Bill Brockett for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, education, entrepreneurship, stewardship, and the values that shape a wealthy life. Born during the Great Depression and raised in Brooklyn, Pastor Bill grew up in a home where money was hard to come by, work was expected, and lessons were often taught by example. From hauling wood as a child to working in foundries, shipyards, brick yards, and soda trucks, he learned early that nothing worthwhile comes easily. Over the course of his life, Pastor Bill became a minister, a corporate executive, an owner of McDonald’s franchises, a business founder, and now, in his 90s, an entrepreneur still building for the future. His current mission, EdYouNet, is focused on helping underserved young people gain confidence, values, and educational tools that can change the trajectory of their lives. Together, Brian and Pastor Bill explore what money is for, why stewardship matters, how values shape sustainability, and why education can become a launching pad for possibility. Along the way, Pastor Bill shares the lessons his father taught him, the danger of confusing possessions with purpose, and the enduring belief that “the gold” is not outside of us. It is already within. To learn more about Pastor Bill and EdYouNet, visit https://www.edyounet.net/home/.

  Jul 7, 20261h 28mS1

  11. What If Life's Greatest Riches Cannot Be Counted?

  Jun 23, 20261h 9mS1

  What if the most valuable parts of life never appear on a balance sheet? On this episode of The Brian Turner Show, Brian sits down with retired communications director and longtime friend Donna Mennitto for a thoughtful conversation about the stories that shape us, the experiences that influence our relationship with money, and the deeper meaning of a wealthy life. Drawing from a lifetime of work in public service, education, communications, and community leadership, Donna reflects on the lessons she's learned about purpose, loss, family, and the passage of time. Together, she and Brian explore how our earliest experiences influence our financial decisions, why adversity often becomes a source of wisdom, and what it means to have "enough." From inherited values and generational perspectives to mortality, freedom, and the importance of being truly seen, this conversation moves far beyond dollars and cents. Donna offers a refreshing reminder that while money can create security and opportunity, life's greatest riches are often found in the relationships we build, the perspectives we gain, and the meaning we create along the way. This episode is an invitation to reflect on what truly matters and whether the most important measures of a life can ever be counted.

  10. Can the People You Lift Up Become Your Greatest Legacy?

  Jun 9, 20261h 29mS1

  Adversity does not define your life. It reveals what matters most. On this episode of The Brian Turner Show, Brian sits down with attorney, business advisor, and longtime basketball coach Brian “Coach” Sheahan to discuss the experiences that shaped his understanding of leadership, faith, and service. Drawing on nearly five decades of coaching and a distinguished legal career helping business owners plan for the future, Coach shares the lessons that have shaped his approach to success. From a career-ending heart condition as a Division I athlete, to unexpected family challenges, and profound personal loss, he reflects on how life’s most difficult moments can deepen perspective and strengthen purpose. Plus, Brian and Coach explore mentorship, financial stewardship, servant leadership, and the importance of investing in the people around us. Through stories of family, coaching, business, and faith, Coach reveals why some of life’s greatest returns come not from what we accumulate, but from what we contribute. This conversation is a reminder that a wealthy life is measured not only by what you build, but by the impact you have on the people you serve.
