Have you ever caught yourself making a decision about money—big or small—and thought, Wait. Whose voice is that in my head? Is this really me? Or is it the voice of my parents, a professor, society, or maybe even fear? Dr. Gena Gorlin understands this deeply and has spent significant time unraveling this pattern of thinking. As a clinical psychologist specializing in the needs of ambitious builders—especially founders—she helps them break free from limiting voices and mental scripts that keep them stuck. In this episode of 50 Fires, Carl and Gena explore the complex relationship between creativity, entrepreneurship, and ethics. They discuss the motivations behind building—whether for good or ill—and the moral implications of profit in business. Their conversation delves into the spiritual aspects of entrepreneurship, emphasizing the connection between financial success and personal values. They also reflect on how spending habits reveal deeper beliefs and the pressures founders face from venture capitalists, ultimately advocating for a more humane approach to business relationships. The episode concludes with insights on teaching future generations about the true purpose of money and the importance of living a fulfilled life.
