from Married Game Podcast · host Keith Yackey

In this week’s episode of The Married Game Podcast, Keith sits down with Garrett Gunderson — New York Times & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, founder of Wealth Factory, and one of the most influential thinkers in modern personal finance — to unpack an experience that reshaped his life, business, and relationship with money.Garrett isn’t your typical finance expert. He built and sold an Inc. 500 financial firm, authored 10 bestselling booksincluding Killing Sacred Cows, and has spent decades helping entrepreneurs and high-performing families make, keep, and grow wealth while living lives they don’t want to retire from.What happens when a man pays $30,000 for one day of unfiltered conversation with someone like Garrett — inside his Cash Cabin immersion — isn’t just financial clarity. It’s a deep internal reckoning around fear, worthiness, visibility, faith, ambition, and the stories men quietly carry about money and success.In this episode, we explore:Why high-achieving men are often embarrassed about their moneyThe hidden fear many men have of being fully seen and judgedHow money is emotional — not logical — and why avoidance keeps men stuckThe difference between coaching and true mentoringWhy suppressing desire creates scarcity, and telling the truth creates freedomHow faith, masculinity, ambition, and provision intersectWhy many men lose intimacy by trying to create securityHow speaking what you’ve never said out loud instantly restores powerThis isn’t a conversation about budgeting or investment tactics.It’s a raw discussion about identity, truth, masculinity, and how money simply amplifies who you already are.If you’re driven but restless…Successful but unsatisfied…Or confident on the outside while constrained on the inside…This episode will hit.Websitegarrettgunderson.comSocial PlatformsInstagram: GarrettBGundersonYouTube: Garrett GundersonX (Twitter): Wealth Factory
