What if you could turn $1,000 into $16,000—without adding a single penny?

In this transformational episode of I Date Money, Lisa Drennon welcomes financial coach and author Scott Yamamura, who breaks down the 3 financial epiphanies that can revolutionize how you think about investing, debt, and long-term wealth building. Together, they tackle the myths around money literacy, how to take control of your finances—even if you feel completely lost—and why your “multiplying power” decreases every 10 years.

Scott’s simple framework isn’t just math—it’s a mindset. You’ll learn why most people fall into the 5 C’s of debt and how to break free, how delayed gratification can create exponential growth, and why money isn’t just for “finance people”—it’s for everyone.

If you’ve ever felt intimidated by money, unworthy of wealth, or confused about where to start with investing, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting and start multiplying.

🔍 Topics Discussed:

• What inspired Scott to write Financial Epiphany
• The cultural taboo around money—and how it holds us back
• The 5 C’s of debt that derail most people’s wealth
• Why financial literacy is still shockingly low (and how to change that)
• How a 7.2% ROI can double your money every 10 years
• The three money epiphanies that shift your mindset and multiply results
• Why the best time to invest is always now
• Investing for beginners: 401(k)s, IRAs, and brokerage accounts

• The power of coaching and financial accountability

💬 Quote to Remember:

“Your multiplying power gets cut in half every 10 years. If you’re waiting until you make more money to learn how to manage it—you’re losing the most powerful time to build wealth.” — Scott Yamamura
