QUOTES
———————————
“So many people are held hostage through this idea that there is some specialized knowledge beyond the very basics that can give you an edge when it comes to investing. The paradox is the less time you spend working on your portfolio, the better. The more time you spend working on yourself, the better.”(02:37)

“So this podcast is a way for me to highlight people that I think are doing great work, to interview them, to ask them questions, and to maybe hone some of those questions and answers into specific things that people can do to improve their own lives.”(05:07)

“I was raised in a world where we didn’t have, but we believed. My parents didn’t have wealth. We didn’t have a lot of stuff. I didn’t have a lot of choices. But they told me that I could succeed. They instilled in me the belief in myself of making a difference in my own life.”(07:31)

“One of the things that I haven’t done a lot with clients who already are successful, but one of the things I want to do more of is help people build the original income that can lead to the savings that can lead to the investing that can lead to the wealth.”(10:25)

“The conversation with Gary around ‘Enough’ is incredibly powerful. For him, it’s not about money; it’s about time. He wants time with his son. He wants time doing what he loves. And I know he has that time. He’s not wealthy, but he is happy because of that idea of ‘enough’ and how he defines that ‘enough.’ And he’s going to be fine financially as well.”(19:31)

“We are all free. We have our choices in front of us. We have a responsibility to make those choices, to seek our best selves, to live our best lives.”(21:46)

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.
