Money, Wealth, and Materialism

Money is one of the most powerful forces in our lives—shaping how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and what we value. In this episode of Men: A Work in Progress, Mike and Kyler open up about their very different experiences with money growing up, and how those early lessons have influenced their beliefs about success, materialism, and financial security today.Together, they explore questions like:How do childhood experiences shape our relationship with money?What role does money play in our sense of identity and self-worth?Can we pursue wealth without being consumed by materialism?What does “enough” really look like?This is a raw and honest conversation about money—not just as dollars and cents, but as a mirror of our values, fears, and aspirations.
