What You Need to Know About Money with Jeff Greenberg
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The stories we carry about money often begin long before we earn, spend, save, or invest a dollar.
This week, we're joined by Jeff Greenberg, somatic coach, mental health counselor, and former Wall Street macroeconomist, for a deeply honest conversation about money, meaning, and what it really takes to build a life that feels true to who you are. Jeff spent over a decade at JPMorgan and UBS analyzing global financial systems before a personal reckoning in his early 30s led him somewhere no spreadsheet could take him. He shares how a hollowness beneath the success, paired with a global meaning crisis, set him on a path toward somatic coaching, men's groups, death dinners, and ultimately, a new kind of work he calls "Money Is an Inside Job." We explore how childhood money wounds quietly govern our adult decisions, why the thing is never really about the thing, and how couples can have radically more honest conversations about finances when they go beneath the surface.
Our chat also covers Jeff's work as an embedded coach at Clay, where he helps employees show up more fully at work and in life, and why he believes rest, retreat, and slowing down aren't luxuries, but a competitive advantage. Whether you're a leader wrestling with burnout, a couple navigating financial tension, or someone ready to trade the "good enough" life for a more interesting one, Jeff's journey is one you don't want to miss.
What you’ll learn:
- The childhood money stories quietly steering your adult decisions and relationships
- What somatic coaching actually is and the difference it makes for leaders under pressure
- The real reason couples fight about money and what to do instead
