In this episode, I sit down with Steve Short, co-author of The Simple Road Toward Financial Freedom, to talk about the inspiration behind the book he wrote with his longtime friend and financial advisor, Mark Schlipman. Together, they explore how money fits into a meaningful life — not as the goal, but as a tool that should align with what matters most.

Their book encourages readers to look at finances with honesty and clarity, showing that simplicity often leads to more freedom, less stress, and a better understanding of success.

Highlights from the episode:

*How Simple Road began through Steve and Mark’s shared experiences in the financial world
*The practical lessons they’ve learned about money, priorities, and balance
*Why simplicity is the foundation of long-term financial peace
*How perspective can change the way we approach success and wealth
*What Steve and Mark hope readers will take away from Simple Road
