A Free Community Workshop
Why Doesn't Anyone Feel Free?
You work more hours. You get better at what you do. Your income goes up. So why does freedom keep slipping further away?
There are three philosophies that explain why — and what actually changes it.

Reserve My Seat — It's FreeWhy Freedom, Security, and Peace Stay Out of Reach
Freedom
You've been told more hours means more money. Better skills mean more money. So why do almost none of the hardest workers you know actually have freedom?
Security
Most people save whatever's left over at the end of the month. Which is usually nothing. There's a different number — and a different order — that changes everything.
Peace
It's not about who you are right now. It's about something most people never get taught. We'll show you what.
Some things are better heard in the room.
Reserve My SeatTwo teachers, one morning
Nicholas Brown, CHPC
Nicholas spent over two decades leading high-pressure professional kitchens before he ever built a financial plan — and it taught him more about systems, leadership, and human behavior than a textbook ever could. In 2009, he and his wife were $40,000 in credit card debt, sitting in a house worth less than they owed on it. He rebuilt from there. Today, as a Certified High Performance Coach and founder of Inspiring Wealth Builders, he teaches the philosophy that got him out.
Dan Merriman
For over 33 years, Dan Merriman has worked inside the mortgage and financial industry — including years spent owning a mortgage company licensed in 26 states. He's weathered his own financial storms too: property sold at a loss when the market turned, plans that didn't survive contact with real life. He rebuilt every time — and he's spent decades since helping thousands of families do the same through debt elimination, tax strategy, and estate planning.
Here's what's actually happening with money in Utah
67%
of American workers live paycheck to paycheck — even with rising incomes.
$80,000
average household debt in Utah, not counting the mortgage.
22 years
into a 30-year mortgage before half your payment finally goes toward principal instead of interest.
What You'll Walk Away With
With Nicholas
- What happens to the money you put into savings the moment it hits your account — and why most people undo it within a year
- Keep every dollar you free up working for you — instead of watching it disappear again
- The 3 Rules that keep your 10% growing instead of quietly disappearing again
- Why getting out of debt and staying out of debt are two completely different skills
With Dan
- The deduction most business owners already qualify for and never claim
- Why your mortgage isn't actually costing you what your rate says it is
- The one document most families don't have — until they need it, and it's too late
This is the part people talk about for weeks afterward.

Is this a sales pitch?
What's the catch?
Do I need to bring anything?
What if I can't make the full three hours?
Do I get anything just for showing up?
Why does this matter so much to you two?
