In this powerful episode of the Vertical Momentum Resiliency Podcast, Richard Kaufman sits down with Brigadier General (Ret.) Michael J. Meese, PhD — author, professor, veteran, and current Executive Vice President & President of the American Armed Forces Mutual Aid Association (AAFMAA).


With a 32-year Army career, Meese has taught economics and national security at West Point, headed West Point’s Department of Social Sciences, and served in strategic leadership roles — including deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Bosnia, and work on the Army’s Transition Team.


In this conversation, he breaks down the fundamentals of financial independence: how compound interest builds wealth, why budgeting is non-negotiable, what insurance really protects, and the key differences between assets and liabilities.


Plus, he shares how sites like LinkedIn can play a role in your financial strategy.
