If you’re working for yourself already you know how easy it can be to get caught up in the busy-ness and lose track of what matters most.

Well, this episode is going to SORT YOU OUT!

Today on the show we are joined by Charles Eisenstein, author, scholar and speaker.

And Charles is going to help us all think DEEPER about how we earn our money.

Charles is known for his thoughtful and challenging articles on civilization, consciousness, money, and human cultural evolution. He has a degree in mathematics and philosophy from Yale and is the author of several books, including Sacred Economics and The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible, just to name a few.
