In this episode, John and Erik explore the topic of leadership, and they share thoughts on how leaders can manage the burden that comes with their position.

Understanding Money
No one is entirely rational when it comes to money. We all know we need a financial plan, but somehow it never happens. We either spend too much out of recklessness, or too little out of guilt.

They discuss their personal frameworks for making money-related decisions, and how their relationship with money has evolved over time.
