Together, we explore how our relationship with money shapes our happiness, the tension between working hard and letting go, and why sometimes the bravest thing we can do as investors is nothing at all.   In this episode we discuss:   \u00b7      Carl\u2019s journey from financial planner to New York Times columnist and author of the beloved \u201cSketch Guy\u201d series. \u00b7      The power of simple visuals to create clarity and spark real conversations about money. \u00b7      \u201cActively doing nothing\u201d \u2014 why patient investing and staying the course is one of the hardest (and most valuable) disciplines. \u00b7      The spending practice \u2014 connecting your money to what you truly care about, and how everyday spending can become a reflection of your values. \u00b7      \u201cSpend the money\u201d \u2014 why many retirees need permission to stop deferring joy and start living now. \u00b7      Days or decades \u2014 tuning out the noise, avoiding anxiety-driven media, and focusing on what genuinely matters in the long term.   Carl Richards is a Certified Financial Planner\u2122, author, and creator of The Behavior Gap and The Sketch Guy column for The New York Times, where his hand-drawn sketches made complex financial ideas beautifully simple.
