We spend our whole lives building security. But what's the point of security if we don't give ourselves permission to live?

We get so used to saving, it can be hard to learn how to spend—even on things that matter deeply.

Feeling overwhelmed by the world's problems? Me too.

But we are not helpless. We can't fix the whole world, but we can choose to be the antidote in our own corner.

Happy Halloween! The scariest thing shouldn't be ghosts or goblins—it should be a financial plan based on fear. Don't let fear of the unknown trick you out of living a full life today. Treat yourself to clarity and confidence.

"You are only as happy as your unhappiest child" is an expression I truly dislike. Your well-being shouldn't be dependent on your children's struggles. You can be a loving, supportive parent without taking on their suffering as your own.

Parenting isn't about being popular; it's about doing what's best for your child, not just what makes them happy now. It's okay if they get upset—this shows you're doing the tough but necessary work.

I trusted my son to manage his college applications, resisting the urge to intervene. The best gift to our adult children is allowing them to forge their own paths, despite our anxieties.

As parents, our role isn't to ensure our kids are always happy but to guide them into adulthood where they can find their own joy and meaning.

This often requires making tough decisions. I'm exploring this balance in my upcoming blog post.

A wealthy friend's net worth would halve post-divorce, equating finances with manhood. This underscores how culture often links self-worth to financial status, though true value isn't in a balance sheet.

AI can give you financial answers, but can it help you ask the right questions? The real work of wealth management isn't just about the numbers, it's about the life you want those numbers to build.

AI answers your questions but can't guide you in asking the right ones. This highlights the challenge of using technology for significant life decisions, which are more about values & priorities than data.

What's a meaningful question you've asked yourself recently?

#TBT: A wealthy friend facing divorce said, "The day after, I will be half the man I am today," as he equated his worth with his wealth. Society overemphasizes money, but true value isn't in your bank account.

It's time to separate who you are from what you have.

I’ve been experimenting with AI for financial planning & found surprising results. While I expected it to excel at math but struggle with emotional nuance, it was often the opposite. Answers came with certainty but were sometimes incorrect & lacked the wisdom of human conversation.

A great financial advisor does more than manage money; they help you align it with your life. They act as a thinking partner and a source of wisdom. What's the best piece of non-financial advice your advisor has ever given you?

AI answers your questions but doesn't guide you in asking the right ones. A great advisor helps you see how financial choices align with your life, values, and goals.
