In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Garrett Gunderson, and what a fun and eye-opening conversation it was! Garrett shares his journey from cleaning cars as a young entrepreneur to becoming a well-known financial educator and author. We dive into how our mindset around money can really shape our lives—and how shifting that mindset can lead to more freedom and peace.
Garrett also shares some practical steps for managing finances, why it’s so important to teach kids about money early on, and how he uses humor to make financial education more approachable. We talk about the fear and scarcity mindset so many of us deal with, and how having the right support and community can help you break through it. Garrett’s all about helping people heal their relationship with money, and I think you’ll take away some powerful insights from this one!
