0:00.0	Today on Radical Personal Finance, I have a radical interview for you with Mr. Carl Richards from the
0:04.5	Behavior Gap.
0:05.7	Carl's an awesome guy and his specialty is building financial plans that fit on a single
0:11.0	page and developing art out of financial concepts that fits onto a single
0:19.3	napkin. And the Welcome to the Radical Personal Finance Podcast. My name is Joshua Sheets and I'm your
0:39.8	host. Thank you for being with me today. This is the show where each and every day I come to you and share with you some ideas that will teach you how to build a lifestyle that is rich now.

1:24.7	He's written a book called The One Page Financial Plan, among other books.

1:33.4	Carl's claim to mass notoriety, though,
1:36.4	is that one day he started drawing pictures on a napkin.
1:39.6	And those pictures now are called art. And not only are they sold for a lot of money but they're
1:44.8	actually published every week in the New York Times as part of his sketch guy column
1:48.3	which is pretty cool. Carl's an awesome guy I was able to connect with him and met him
1:52.1	for the first time at X Y PN 15 and also FinCon 15 and we met there
1:59.0	and then we did the interview a little while after that.
