Emphasizing the Significance of Purpose in Financial Decision-Making

In this episode of Behavior Gap Radio, Carl explores the pivotal role of purpose in making sound financial decisions. He emphasizes that purpose is not merely a starting point but a continuous reference point that guides all decisions related to money. Carl likens purpose to a lens through which we view our financial choices. It turns out that it often gets overlooked in discussions about money! Drawing inspiration from the wisdom of David Whyte and Lao Tzu, Carl explores the gradual process of discovering, relearning, and realigning with what truly matters to us.
