🎸 SWN 103 - 06/28/26 | Rock and Roll Runs a Tab 🎸
This week on The #SerenityWealthNow Show, we sit down with Danny Liston, founding member of Mama's Pride, KSHE Real Rock Hall of Fame inductee, and co-founder of Anthology. Leaving Dogtown at age 18 to pursue a music journey that led to a Gregg Allman backed tour, an Atlantic Records deal, and some business lessons learned the hard way. With no receipts, no withholding, and a treasury agent with handcuffs in hand.
🎙️ Join Chris Cooper and Danny as they tune up the business side of rock and roll. Nights in LA clubs (some good, some not). A $100,000 record deal that somehow went to everybody but the band. And the one piece of advice that separates musicians who make it from the ones who don't.
The ones who play the longest know the instruments they play well, and know when they need to bring in the backup.
Rock and roll runs a tab. Somebody's keeping score. Make sure it's you.
🪒 SWN 102 - 06/21/26 | Father's Day: Lessons in Store for a Lasting Legacy 🪒
This week on The #SerenityWealthNow Show, we sit down with Micah and Caroline Raposo of Men's Modern General Store. A couple who turned a date night idea into a one-of-a-kind destination. Just for the simple goal of proving guys aren't that hard to shop for. They just need the right store.
🎙️ Join Chris Cooper, Micah, and Caroline as they stock the shelves with items and lessons built to last. Carefully curated, American-made goods chosen with purpose. Missouri spirits worth sipping. A lounge space where memories are made. And the most valuable thing any dad can pass down. The courage to face the hard things first.
Great goods for guys and great guidance have a lot in common. Both have function, intention, and a way of lasting far beyond the surface.
Quality goods. Quality lessons. Built to last.
🌍 SWN 101 - 06/14/26 | Your Passport to a Richer Life 🌍
This week on The #SerenityWealthNow Show, we sit down with Katie Modglin of Magic Expeditions. A travel expert who has spent her career turning the trips people dream about into the trips they actually take.
🎤 Join Chris Cooper and Katie as they precheck the summer travel season. From TSA tricks that save you time, to booking windows that save you money. The world is more open than most realize and planning can make it all possible.
The number one thing people say they want in retirement is to travel more. The ones who reach their destinations, build it into their plan.
Stamps on a passport, start long before the journey.

Here are a few clips of the official financial friend of The Vic Porcelli Show live in action.
Live on The Vic Porcelli Show - 05/22/26
Chris is live in studio to talk financial fraud. Fake bank accounts. Hacked credit cards. Gift card traps. Crypto ATM schemes. The scams are getting more sophisticated and the targets are getting broader.
Monitor often. Use your credit card wisely and pay it off. Know the red flags. And if something looks weird, ask someone who can help you think it through.
If something doesn't make sense, it probably doesn't.
Live on the Vic Porcelli Show - 04/17/26
Chris is joined with his son AJ to discuss the importance of early financial education during Financial Literacy Month.
