1185 | Money and the Collective Story

In this episode of Behavior Gap Radio, Carl reflects on his conversation with Krista Tippett, host of On Being, which led him to explore the idea of money as a collective story we've all agreed upon.

Carl introduces the "$100 bill meditation," a thought experiment that encourages listeners to reframe their relationship with money by considering its true nature and the narratives we attach to it.
