TEDx Talk Coming Soon
What if a 1% shift could create $100 million in new wealth?
The $100 Million New Wealth Project started with a simple question: what would happen if more people automated just 1% more savings?
This idea comes from a TEDx talk inspired by a real-life experience that changed my mom’s life — and ultimately led me to become a financial advisor.
Where this started
I recently gave a TEDx talk on flipping the budgeting equation based on my mom’s real-life experience.
How much that shift changed her life is what made me want to become an advisor in the first place.
After running the math, I realized that even a small change — just 1% more savings — could potentially create over $100 million in new wealth if enough people were exposed to the idea and implemented it.
That realization became The $100 Million New Wealth Project.
The idea in numbers
Per 1,200 views
$1M
If viewers save just 1% more on average, each 1,200 views could create about $1 million in new annual wealth.
10 year impact
$15M
If that $1M in new annual savings continues, it compounds to roughly $15M in long‑term wealth after 10 years.
Project goal
$100M+
Help people create over $100 million in new wealth for themselves and their families through this simple shift.
