In this episode of Lead On Purpose, I sit down with Chris Naugle to unpack why money feels awkward for so many people, and how to shift from scarcity and stress into clarity and control.
What we cover:
- Why money feels scarce, and how wealth starts with creation and solving other people’s problems
- Rich vs wealthy, and why looking successful often means living on credit and giving it all back
- Giving as a practical money habit, including Chris’s “donation letters” exercise to rewire abundance
- The “be your own bank” concept, and how to recapture interest and recycle cash flow instead of feeding banks
- Investing and big purchases through a new lens, only back what you understand, avoid chasing high returns, and treat cars like a system not an expense
If you’ve ever earned well but still felt behind, anxious about money, or unsure why it never seems to stick, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about money and how you use it.
