In this episode of Heart of \nEntrepreneurship, Dave Kashen and Jesse Pujji trace that belief to its roots and \nfollow it all the way through to what it actually costs.\nJesse opens with a coaching session from 2019 where he uncovered an unconscious \ncore belief: more money means more safety. Seeing the opposite of that belief \nloosened its grip enough to change how he made decisions for years. From there, \nDave explains why money carries such unusual psychological weight. It's one of the \nonly things that seems to promise security, freedom, and worthiness all at once, \nand that's what makes the attachment so hard to see through.\nThey cover the specific patterns that keep founders stuck in their relationship \nwith money:\n- The three needs (security, control, and approval) and why money appears to \n  promise all of them\n- Why hitting your number just raises the bar rather than delivering the feeling \n  you were after\n- How founders use company valuation as a proxy for personal worthiness\n- Dave's story of losing roughly 70% of his paper wealth in 2021, what he felt \n  stopped at a bridge during a bike ride, and what shifted on the drive home\n- The Golden Algorithm: how the feeling you're trying to avoid is often the exact \n  feeling your strategy ends up creating\n- Why freedom is a feeling, not a financial milestone, and how to access it without \n  waiting for the exit\n- The one question worth sitting with when the episode ends\nTimestamps:\n00:20 The 2019 Coaching Session That Changed How Jesse Thinks About Money\n01:19 Uncovering the Belief: More Money Means More Safety\n02:41 Why Money Is the Entrepreneur's Most Charged Topic\n04:23 The Three Core Human Needs Founders Project Onto Money\n05:16 Security, Control, and Approval: What Your Nervous System Is Really After\n09:46 What Money Actually Is (And Why We Give It So Much Power)\n13:58 Why...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/D3q8uoAKBP9yDvAXKSX05IFBpfUTTR8eiffeZmJ_DWk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iNzcz/NGQxYmUwMmU2ZWQx/YjgxZTVmNGEwYTJi/NjMzOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
