Harsh But Helpful Money Truths w/ Dr. Brad Klontz & Adrian Brambila #896

How to Money

“Broke is temporary, but an unexamined poor mindset can be permanent.” As we discuss with our guests today, your mindset makes all the difference and your finances are no exception. And speaking of guests, one is a CFP financial psychologist and the other is a former professional dancer for T-Pain, an unlikely pairing! Dr. Brad Klontz and Adrian Brambila are the co-authors of the new book “Start Thinking Rich: 21 Harsh Truths to Take You from Broke to Financial Freedom”. This book is all about delivering actionable solutions to increase and diversify income, to help you save what you make, and to discover ways to grow your money in your sleep. Externalizing your problems, taking a victim mentality, and constantly looking to others to provide for you are the exact wrong behaviors and the embodiment of an unhealthy mindset that will keep you from attaining your goals. Listen as we discuss some of their harsh truths like getting rid of poor friends, blaming yourself if you’re poor as an adult, and plenty more!
