This is our 200th Episode of The Rich Life Podcast. Thank you for listening and celebrating this milestone. We’ve been trying to change the conversation around money just being math. We talk about what makes money hard, and it’s not math. James will talk about where we’ve been and where we’re going with this podcast.
It’s taken four years to get through 200 episodes. We’ve talked about cognitive bias, the Enneagram, and managing emotions. We’ve discussed how emotions drive our decisions, and managing money goes much further than math. We’ve gone through the pandemic, quietly quitting, and much more. James wants to express his gratitude for joining him in these conversations.
Episode Highlights:
[02:39] It’s taken four years of showing up to get to 200 episodes.
[03:07] The whole wager was that there were people out there who wanted to have a different conversation around money. We wanted to talk about what’s really going on with most of the problems with money going on in people’s heads, not their wallets.
[04:38] The feedback that James has gotten has been so deeply encouraging.
[05:23] The show started out as a radio show, but we soon discovered that most people were listening to it as a podcast.
[06:07] We’ve been talking about so many different things like cognitive bias, the Enneagram, and managing emotions. The more we have self-awareness and understand how our brain works, the easier it will be to step into decisions that benefit us.
[08:00] We’ve covered a lot of ground and defined what a rich life is. We’ve talked about decision processes, having authority over our thoughts, and how our decisions are rooted in emotion.
[09:28] James really enjoys being able to talk with everyone and share what he’s learning. 200 episodes is a big milestone, and he just wants to express his gratitude.
[10:58] We are hoping that advisers start to talk about things like this that are in our control. Money is deeply connected to our emotions and relationships.
