Why Most People Don’t Actually Know Their Values (And What It’s Costing Them)

Most people think they know their values. But when was the last time you actually wrote them down — and then looked at your bank account to see if they matched? In this episode, Dakota Chandler walks you through the same values clarification exercise he uses with every coaching client. You'll learn why most people don't have a spending problem — they have an alignment problem — and how five minutes of honest reflection can change the way you spend, decide, and live. Dakota shares his own four values, the quarterly family trips that reflect them, and the everyday spending he cuts without hesitation once his filter was clear. Inspired by Bill Perkins' Die With Zero, this episode will challenge you to stop budgeting and start living by what actually matters. If you've ever felt like your money is going one direction and your life is going another — this episode is for you.
