What if greed isn’t about how much you have… but about what has your heart? Most people don’t think they’re greedy. Yet Scripture warns about greed more often than many sins we openly condemn because it’s subtle, contagious, and incredibly difficult to recognize in ourselves. In this episode, Andrew McNair unpacks the five hidden dangers of greed, why our culture celebrates it, and how it quietly robs us of joy, generosity, and trust in God. If you’ve ever wondered why “more” never feels like enough—or how to cultivate a life marked by purpose instead of possessions—this conversation will challenge you in the best way. In this episode: What greed really is (it’s more than loving money) Why greed is so difficult to recognize in ourselves How comparison and consumer culture fuel discontentment Why Scripture treats greed as a serious spiritual danger The surprising cure that leads to lasting joy and freedom If this episode encouraged you, please follow the Rich Young & Powerful Podcast and leave a review.

You can’t take it with you. In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair explores one of the most important questions for anyone pursuing success, wealth, and legacy: how should we steward what God has entrusted to us? Philanthropy is often seen as unquestionably good—but what if generosity can miss the point? Andrew unpacks three situations where philanthropy can be wrong: when it becomes a last resort, when it is done to impress others, and when it is used as a way to earn favor with God. Through Scripture, practical wisdom, and a powerful reminder from the Rockefeller estate, this episode challenges us to examine not just what we give, but why we give. If you want your life, wealth, and legacy to serve something eternal, this conversation will help you think differently about generosity, stewardship, and living to give.

How do people actually build wealth in the stock market? In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair breaks down how the stock market works, how investors make money through appreciation and dividends, and why long-term discipline matters more than chasing the “perfect” portfolio. Using a simple Starbucks example, Andrew explains the difference between being a consumer, an employee, and an owner—and why ownership is one of the most powerful wealth-building principles available. You’ll learn why diversification matters, why too much trading can quietly hurt your returns, and how dollar cost averaging can help you stay consistent through market highs and lows. Because when it comes to investing, scared money doesn’t make money—but wise money thinks long term. In this episode: • How stock ownership actually works • The difference between appreciation and dividends • Why diversification is so important • How over-trading can damage long-term returns • Why consistency often beats market timing • How investing connects to stewardship, patience, and legacy To learn more about Andrew’s journey of building wealth and giving it away, get The Giving Crisis at swan-capital.com/book.

Before you can invest wisely, you need to understand what you’re actually investing in. In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair breaks down the four major investment worlds: financial institutions, insurance companies, Wall Street, and real estate. Each one offers something different—but none of them offer everything. Using the lens of protection, liquidity, and return, Andrew explains why every investment has strengths, limitations, and risks. Banks may offer safety and access, but limited growth. Insurance products may offer protection, but often require patience and time. The stock market may offer strong long-term return potential, but comes with volatility. Real estate may build wealth, but it requires work, wisdom, and careful stewardship. This conversation is not about falling in love with one investment. It’s about learning how to think clearly, diversify wisely, and avoid being influenced by someone else’s financial agenda. You’ll also hear biblical wisdom from Proverbs and Ecclesiastes on saving, diversification, prudence, and investing with a long-term perspective. If you want to build wealth with wisdom—not hype—this episode will help you understand how to evaluate investments through the lens of stewardship, purpose, and legacy. Episode Highlights Why every investment can be understood through protection, liquidity, and return The role banks and credit unions play in your financial life Why emergency funds belong in safe, liquid accounts What to understand before locking money into insurance-based investments Why Wall Street offers return potential but requires emotional discipline The truth about real estate investing that gurus often leave out Biblical principles for saving, diversification, and wise investing Why no investment has protection, liquidity, and return all at once How to avoid falling in love with one investment world Why wise stewardship requires balance, patience, and discernment

What if the very thing you’ve been chasing… is the thing quietly pulling you away from what matters most? In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair challenges one of the most deeply held assumptions about success: that more wealth equals more security, freedom, and fulfillment. But what if wealth isn’t the goal? Drawing from biblical wisdom and real-world experience as a wealth manager, Andrew unpacks why the pursuit of riches can subtly lead to pride, self-sufficiency, and misplaced identity and how a shift toward stewardship can transform not just your finances, but your purpose. If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between success and significance, this conversation will reframe how you think about money, legacy, and what it truly means to live well. What You’ll Learn: Why wealth can create the illusion of control and independence The hidden dangers of tying your identity to financial success What Scripture actually says about being rich The difference between being wealthy and being a steward How generosity becomes the antidote to greed Practical ways to shift from accumulation to impact If wealth isn’t something to hold onto—but something to steward—then the question isn’t how much you have…it’s what you do with it.

What should come first: paying off debt or honoring God with your finances? In today’s episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair tackles a question many high-achieving, faith-driven individuals quietly wrestle with: Should you still tithe while carrying student loan debt? With over $1.5 trillion in student loans weighing on Americans, it’s easy to believe generosity should wait until financial freedom arrives. But what if that mindset is holding you back—not just financially, but spiritually? Andrew challenges conventional thinking and offers a deeper perspective on: Why tithing isn’t about convenience—it’s about obedience How work, purpose, and giving are deeply connected The truth about who you’re really indebted to Why generosity is a discipline that shapes your future not just your finances This episode isn’t about guilt—it’s about alignment. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll give later when things are easier,” this conversation will challenge—and potentially transform—that belief. You don’t have to wait until you’re debt-free to live generously. What if the breakthrough you’re waiting for… starts with obedience?

What happens to your giving when you’re between churches? In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair tackles a question many believers quietly wrestle with: Should you still tithe if you don’t have a home church right now? Whether you’re visiting churches, in a season of transition, or feeling disconnected from a local body, it can be easy to pause generosity “just for now.” But what if that pause is shaping more than your finances? Andrew unpacks why tithing isn’t tied to convenience or location and how your posture toward giving reflects something deeper about your faith, priorities, and dependence on God. This conversation will challenge you to rethink generosity—not as an obligation tied to a building, but as a reflection of who you trust and what you value most. Episode Highlights: Why “waiting until you find a church” may be more costly than you think The connection between generosity and spiritual growth What your giving reveals about your view of God Why the mission of the gospel doesn’t pause—even when you’re in transition Practical ways to tithe faithfully without a home church The danger of letting temporary seasons create long-term habits   Tithing isn’t about a place—it’s about a posture. And delaying generosity may be shaping your heart more than you realize.

Is tithing required to be saved—or is salvation truly by grace alone? In this episode of Rich Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair tackles a question many believers wrestle with, but few fully understand. Drawing from Scripture, Andrew unpacks the difference between salvation and sanctification, clarifying that while salvation comes through faith alone, a transformed life naturally produces generosity, obedience, and surrender. Through powerful biblical examples like Zacchaeus, this conversation challenges you to examine not just what you believe—but how you live. If you’ve ever wondered: Do I have to tithe to be saved? What role does giving play in my faith? Am I holding anything back from God? This episode will push you beyond surface-level answers and into deeper conviction. Because the real question isn’t “Do I have to give?”… it’s “What does my giving reveal about my heart?” Episode Highlights Why salvation is by grace through faith—not works The critical difference between being saved and being transformed Why generosity is a fruit of salvation not a requirement for it The story of Zacchaeus and what radical giving reveals about the heart How withholding from God can stall your spiritual growth A challenge: Are you asking “how little?” or “how much more?” If this episode challenged you, follow Rich Young & Powerful and share it with someone who’s wrestling with faith, money, and purpose.

Is tithing just an outdated command from the Old Testament… or is it still relevant for believers today? In this episode of Rich, Young & Powerful, Andrew McNair challenges one of the most common misconceptions about giving and gets to the heart of what tithing really represents. Through both Old and New Testament examples, he unpacks a powerful truth: Tithing didn’t begin with the law—and it didn’t end with it either. Instead, it’s part of a much bigger story…One rooted in gratitude, worship, and a transformed heart. You’ll discover how: • Tithing existed before the law through Abraham and Jacob • The early church modeled radical generosity far beyond 10% • Jesus affirmed tithing—but challenged the heart behind it • True giving flows from gratitude, not obligation This conversation isn’t about rules. It’s about what your giving says about your heart—and your trust in God. Scripture Referenced • Genesis 14:20 (Abraham tithes before the law) • Genesis 28:20–22 (Jacob’s vow) • Acts 2:45 (The early church’s generosity) • 2 Corinthians 9:7 (Cheerful giving) • Luke 11:42 (Jesus on tithing and the heart) Find more resources at swan-capital.com/blog.
