This is the Read to Lead podcast episode 419.

You don't want to have the, do I need this insurance discussion?

That's the wrong place to start.

But it is the question that the insurance industry wants us to ponder.

And by the way, it's not a bad question, but there's just a much better one. The better question

isn't what insurance should I buy? The better question is, what risks am I running? And how can I

best tackle handling those? In these uncertain times, the basics matter more than ever. But for most of us, concepts

like investing, budgeting, and getting out of debt just don't float our boats. And so we put

them off longer than we should. Not today. Hi, I'm Jeff Brown, and this is the Read to Lead

podcast, the podcast that's dedicated to your personal and your professional growth, because I believe

that if you want to achieve true

success in your business and in your life, that's a book I'm smacking.

Then intentional and consistent reading is a must.

Today we are joined by my friend Joe Saul C.

He's co-author of a book along with Emily Guy Burkin called Stacked. Your Super Serious Guide to Modern Money

Management and Super Serious is definitely tongue in cheap because Joe is a funny guy and this is a

funny finance book. Didn't realize that was a thing. Well, it is. I'm going to be asking Joe about

why somebody struggle with budgeting and how to conquer the struggle once and for all.

The number one thing you need to think about when it comes to risk management,

what Joe means when he says, Benjamin stacking is all in your head and plenty more.

And if you're smart, and I assume you are because you chose to listen to this podcast,

you know that it doesn't end with reading.
