What happens when you put two wealth managers and a Master Beekeeper (who happens to be a childhood friend of 30+ years) in the same studio? Pure magic. 🎙️🐝🪵

In this episode of the Pennywise Financial Podcast, Dave Georgiev and Constantine sit down with their lifelong friend Matt Humby, founder of Humby’s Hive, for an unscripted, hilarious, and deeply informative conversation.

They go far beyond the usual portfolio talk. They're bridging the gap between everyday economics, the reality of running a passion project, and the fascinating world of local craftsmanship.

Here is a sneak peek at what you'll learn in this episode:

The Economy at the Pump: Are you paying close attention at the gas station? Hear them break down current inflation numbers, the reality of 7.5% auto loan rates, and a crazy new credit card scam hitting local gas pumps right now.

Valuing Your Time: Why is custom woodworking so expensive? Matt shares the honest reality of pricing his art, navigating surging lumber costs, and why you can't compare a master craftsman to an automated mass-producer.

Mind-Blowing Bee Facts: Did you know worker bees will literally kick the males out of the hive before winter? Or how a diet of "Royal Jelly" dictates which bee becomes the Queen? Matt drops some wild knowledge from his Cornell University Master Beekeeper program.

The 1950s Lumber Secret: Why a 2x4 from a century-old house is so dense it could actually suppress a fire, while modern homes burn completely differently.

The Power of Local: The real benefits of incorporating local honey into your diet to fight off seasonal allergies.

Whether you are an investor looking for macro-economic updates, an aspiring side-hustler trying to figure out how to price your time, or you just want to hear three guys who have known each other since the 7th grade crack a few jokes, this episode is absolutely for you.

Here at the firm, we believe some of the best business insights come from authentic, unscripted conversations. In our latest blog post and podcast episode, three friends of over 30 years sit down in the studio to talk life, real money matters, and the reality of building a brand from the ground up.

We had the privilege of highlighting an old friend's incredible entrepreneurial journey: Matt Humby, the founder of Humby’s Hive. Matt runs a fascinating dual-business featuring custom woodworking and local beekeeping, and his unmistakable passion and elite craftsmanship shine through in every single detail.

We don't just admire his business model; we are proud, active customers! The local honey from Humby's Hive has been an absolute lifesaver for managing seasonal allergies that have popped up over the last five years. On the woodworking side, the one-of-a-kind coasters, hand-crafted wooden utensils, and custom ornaments we've purchased boast a unique quality that is simply second to none.

This conversation was highly informative, deeply authentic, and filled with a ton of laughs. Whether you are a business owner, an aspiring artisan, or just someone who appreciates the value of long-term connections, there is something in this episode for you.
