131: Your Mental Wealth with Dr. Brad Klontz

Today’s guest is Dr. Brad Klontz. Brad is a clinical psychologist turned financial planner. He’s the Founder of the Financial Psychology Institute® and an Associate Professor of Practice in Financial Psychology at Creighton University Heider College of Business. He’s also a Managing Principal of Your Mental Wealth® Advisors, a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, and a Former President of the Hawaii Psychological Association, and the co-author and editor of five books on the psychology of money.

After attempting to eliminate his student debt by investing in the stock market and losing big, Brad did a deep dive into his family history, the mental health of financial planners. He discovered that this aspect of mental health had long gone unaddressed, and has dedicated his career to the concept of what he calls Mental Wealth ever since.

Brad joins today’s podcast not just to share his story, but to help you better understand how your beliefs around money influence your financial behaviors, net worth, credit card debt, and more - and how to reassess and rethink what might not be serving you well, especially at this tumultuous time in our financial history.
