Rich Habits Podcast
Hosted by Rich Habits
A decamillionaire creator of Sillybandz and a young fintech entrepreneur demystify wealth through news, interviews, and listener Q&As.
A financial 'edutainment' show built on the mentor-mentee dynamic between a seasoned, self-made multimillionaire and a digitally-native finance creator. Episodes alternate between three core formats: deep-dives on weekly financial headlines, long-form interviews with founders and executives, and listener Q&A sessions. The hosts apply their generational perspectives to topics ranging from broad market trends and AI's impact to specific portfolio and real estate dilemmas.
“The primary distinction is the host pairing: a decamillionaire who built tangible, product-based businesses (Robert Croak) and a young venture capitalist who built his brand in the digital media economy (Austin Hankwitz). This creates a unique blend of old-school business wisdom and modern investment analysis.”

Robert Croak is a serial entrepreneur and decamillionaire, best known for creating the viral sensation Sillybandz, with over 30 years of business experience. Austin Hankwitz is a financial media personality and venture capitalist in his late 20s who specializes in making financial topics accessible to a new generation of investors. Together, they publish three episodes a week, breaking down market news, interviewing executives, and answering listener questions.
