We know that our beliefs and behaviors around money are deeply personal. However, many financial professionals still try to keep the personal stuff out of the conversation.
What if there was a way for us to have better financial conversations? Today’s guest, Cara Macksound, CEO of Money Habitudes, has built a career out of helping people understand the psychology of money to empower them to manage their financial well-being.
And she’s doing it through The Money Habitutes - a game-like assessment used by financial professionals to help people understand and talk about their finances in a fun, constructive way.
Join us for a fascinating conversation that explores the context and lenses through which we view money and how it impacts our relationship to risk, money, and the people in our lives.
