QUOTES
———————————
“I think that the fear of ‘not having’ has always sat with me. Even as far as making the decision to have children, I said, ‘I will do anything to make sure that my children never have to experience what I had to experience.’ I wish that was the end of my story of poverty, but unfortunately when I was eighteen I was kicked out of my family’s house and I was homeless for a period of time. So, during those periods of time experiencing severe lack and severe scarcity of all money, of everything. It shifts your perspective and it makes you a little bit more resilient when it comes to how you navigate things.” (09:21)

“Entrepreneurship requires resiliency. It requires you to be able to look at things, and be able to weather the storm, and to be able to realize that not everything is going to go your way...” (10:39)

ABOUT MINDFUL MONEY
———————————
Do you struggle with money? You’re not alone.
Money is a means, not an end. It’s a necessity of life for sure, but more money does not always guarantee a “good life”. Money enables many aspects of modern life, but as a dominant consideration it becomes destructive.
The paradox is that more time and energy spent on personal finance does NOT create better outcomes. Unlike many other parts of life, we can’t create better outcomes by being smarter, spending more time, or putting in more effort.
Join Mindful Money author and experienced 40-year investor Jonathan DeYoe as he shares stories from artists, authors, entrepreneurs, and other advisors about how they mindfully minimize their need to think about money and get more out of life.
If you aren’t happy with your finances, feel like money takes more time that it should, or want to place your financial decisions into the broader context of your life, this show is for you.
Each episode will draw the line between the “enough” activities that the academics tell us are additive to family outcomes, and those “little bit more” efforts that take time and sap energy, but do NOT improve outcomes.
