Get Out of Debt for Good with Brad Nelson

Positively Real Podcast

What would it mean to you to find financial peace?

For Brad Nelson, financial peace means more than just freedom from debt—it’s about living without the constant stress of money worries and being able to focus on what truly matters. Brad has dedicated his life to helping people achieve this kind of freedom, bringing a fresh and practical approach to personal finance that challenges today’s popular thinking around debt. Through his podcast, The Debt Free Dad, his speaking engagements, social media, and his online membership program, Roots of Personal Finance, Brad has helped his community save and pay off tens of millions of dollars, showing that financial control is possible for everyone.

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Brad to discuss:

• The Road to Financial Freedom: Brad opens up about his early financial struggles—credit card debt, lifestyle inflation, and the paycheck cycle. He explains how “failing forward” helped him pay off debt, redefine his lifestyle, and build a business dedicated to helping others do the same.
• The Stress Behind the Spend: A staggering 73% of Americans say money is their top source of stress. Brad shares insights on how impulse buys, mixed financial messages, and a lack of budgeting keep people trapped in stress cycles.
• Practical First Steps to Financial Control: From tracking expenses to the “debt snowball” method, Brad lays out simple, powerful steps for building a lasting financial plan.
• Money and Relationships: Brad dives into the sensitive subject of money and partnership. He shares tips for opening up honest financial conversations with loved ones and how aligning on money goals can strengthen relationships.
• Resilience through Tragedy: Brad shares the powerful story of his wife’s passing and his daughter’s medical journey, explaining how his financial preparedness allowed him to focus fully on family and healing during these difficult times.

This episode is packed with practical advice and real-life stories that will inspire you to take control of your finances, no matter where you’re starting. Brad’s story proves that financial peace is possible—and it’s closer than you might think.

Tune in, and take that first step towards your financial peace.
