What Would 'Your Money' Look Like In a Simple Sketch? | Carl Richards | 170
Catching Up to FI
How Did Carl Move from Finance to Money Psychology?
Carl describes his accidental entry into financial services and why money became his entry point to meaningful life conversations.
Carl Richards is one of the leading voices when it comes to money and emotions. For over a decade, he was the creator of the Sketch Guy column in The New York Times, where his hand-drawn sketches made financial complexity surprisingly simple—and deeply emotional. He joins us to ask the question that instantly ties our brain in knots: 'What is money, really?' From there, he discusses:
- Why we unknowingly organize life around money and work
- Why 'enough' is a way of being (not a number)
- How we keep handing money jobs it can't do—like self-worth, love, and happiness
Come for the doodles; leave with a gentler, saner way to align your calendar, your checkbook, and your life.
