| 0:13.6 | You've got financial questions, he's got financial answers. |
| 0:17.2 | It's Brian Preston, the money guy. |
| 0:20.6 | Brian, I am so excited about this because I don't think the people know. I don't think a lot of folks know how valuable, how powerful this tool can be. |
| 0:31.9 | And we wouldn't mind them. We want to share the good news of what they could be doing inside their financial life. |
| 0:37.1 | Look, I'm not going to tease you. One of the most powerful things when you get to the financial order of operations is step five. |
| 0:42.3 | That's all the tax-free stuff. |
| 0:44.4 | When people try to figure out is it the health savings account, is it the Roth IRA, the health savings account, is the bomb digitty. |

| 1:44.5 | You don't get a deduction, but it gets to grow completely tax-free. How in the world could I say something's better than that, Bo? |
