The column ran weekly for a decade. This journey began when Carl applied for what he thought was a job as a “security guard,” only to find out the ad actually said “securities.” That slight misstep sparked a lifelong dedication to reshaping how we think about money.Resources mentioned in the episodePre-order the book on AmazonYour Money: Using Money, Energy, Time, and Attention to Build Your Best Life by Carl by Carl RichardsBulk orders of Carl’s booksYour Money - BulkbooksSupport local bookstoresBookshop.orgReady to learn more? Scott Frank on LinkedIn Stone Steps Financial Carl Richards on LinkedInCarl Richards on XCarl Richards on InstagramBehavior Gap
