Had an amazing conversation with Roger Knecht on the "Building the Premier Accounting Firm" podcast! We talked about money mindset, identifying the money beliefs holding you back, spotting anxious vs avoidant patterns in your relationship with money & much more. Give the episode a listen!

Great conversation today with Roger Knecht on the Building the Premier Accounting Firm podcast.
We explored how our unconscious attitudes about wealth often work against our financial goals—and how understanding your Enneagram type can transform both your relationship with money and your sense of purpose.
For accounting and financial professionals, we discussed practical ways to address clients' deeper emotional needs around money, moving beyond purely technical advice to create more meaningful impact.
My unconventional path from Marine Corps to Benedictine monastery to wealth management gave us plenty to unpack about what truly drives financial behavior.
Worth a listen if you're curious about the psychology behind the numbers.
