All right, welcome back to the art of accomplishment, where we explore how deepening connection

with ourselves and others leads to creating the life we want with enjoyment and ease.

I am Brett Kistler, here today with my co-host, Joe Hudson.

Early on, we did a couple of episodes on money, and we've gotten a lot of questions since then,

people wanting to go deeper on that topic.

And the other day, you were telling some people about your story with money,

and there was a lot of components to that that I found really fascinating,

and I'd really love to just go deeper into that on this episode.

That sounds awesome.

So tell me about your experience with money.

So I'm just going to go sequentially and feel free to, if you remember anything or just drop any questions in um

sequentially the first thing that happened was that i i was raised in a family where money

was really important like status and having the right car and and my dad you know he grew up i think

as a lot of people do, they grew up without enough.

His mom grew up in the Depression.

He was born in the Depression.

And so having money was really an important thing.

And so he cared about money.

And as a kid, it always felt like he cared more about money than he

did about me and so i saw like the deep urge for the Cadillac um and and making sure that the house

was blah blah blah and everything you know and that they had the Rolex watch and all that stuff. And somehow or another, my brain interpreted that as like money

is a more important thing than me. And so in my brain, what happened was money became bad.
