On this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with David Gatchell, Author and Financial Literacy Advocate about changing the way we think about money and financial empowerment.


In this episode we discussed:

Everyone can be financially literate.

  • We need to quantify our goals, otherwise it’s a dream.
  • Our money habits reflect our life experiences.
  • Are you showing your wealth or growing your wealth?
  • Investing is for everyone, not just the wealthy. 
  • You can use money for good, think about what you can do with money to have a positive impact.
