#178: Why Money Stress Isn't a Math Problem—It's a Mindset Problem | Josh Greenbaum

from GRASP Confidence | Personal Growth for Leaders and High Performers · host Tara LaFon Gooch

Confidence, Clarity, and the Numbers Behind a Healthy Business   Money is one of the biggest sources of stress for entrepreneurs and yet, it doesn't have to be. If the words cash flow, financials, or numbers make you want to look the other way, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. Today on GRASP Confidence, we're reframing the entire conversation around money, leadership, and freedom. Josh Greenbaum is a founder, advisor, and author who has made it his mission to help entrepreneurs build financially healthy businesses—without spreadsheets, shame, or jargon. Through his book Numbers Scare Me & Other Excuses, his advisory firm CFO Minded, and his upcoming Replaceable program, Josh is changing how founders relate to money. Instead of seeing numbers as overwhelming or intimidating, he helps leaders use them as a tool for clarity, confidence, and better decision-making. In this conversation, Josh breaks down why most founders struggle with money—not because they're bad at math, but because they were never taught how to think about numbers in a way that supports the life they actually want to live. You'll learn how to move from financial avoidance to financial ownership, how to turn "messy" numbers into clear leadership decisions, and why understanding your finances is one of the most empowering confidence shifts you can make as a business owner. This episode is especially powerful for entrepreneurs who are tired of running businesses that feel heavy, confusing, or misaligned and are ready for simplicity, clarity, and freedom. If you want to build a business that supports your life (not the other way around), this episode will change how you see money—and yourself as a leader.   Learn more about Josh and his work here: 👉 https://cfominded.com 📚 Grab your copy of Josh's book here!   What does GRASP stand for?
