The Psychology of Money with Kapria Lipscomb Franklin

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we’re joined by Kapria Lipscomb Franklin, an elite wealth behavior and restoration strategist who bridges accredited financial counseling with social work and financial therapy. Kapria shares her unconventional journey from graduate school and brokerage firms into financial social work, where she first witnessed how emotional vulnerability, identity, and trust deeply impact financial outcomes—regardless of net worth.The conversation explores how Kapria works across individual, organizational, and corporate levels to help clients separate self-worth from net worth, navigate sudden or complex wealth transitions, and build healthier relationships with money. She also reflects on stepping into greater visibility through podcasting, speaking, and thought leadership, her vision for building a team of financial social workers, and her mission to create spaces—through retreats, education, and advocacy—where wealth is understood as both a financial and human experience.
