Conversations With My Father: David Jetmore on Money

In this episode, David reflects on how his early experiences with money shaped the way he understands security, work, and self-reliance. Through stories from his childhood and adult life, he considers the habits that endure long after circumstances change: the instinct to repair rather than replace, to save rather than spend, and to measure wealth not by excess but by having all your needs met. Together, we explore the meaning of “enough,” the habits formed by hardship, and the complicated relationship between success, self-worth, and the fear of going without.
