In this episode we get curious about something that makes many of us super uncomfortable...TALKING ABOUT MONEY.
I share some great nuggets from Scott Galloway's new book "The Algebra of Wealth" as well as Morgan Housel's best-seller "The Psychology of Money." We talk about how freakin NEW many of our financial systems are (the 401K has only existed for 46 years, guys!!).
We talk about fiduciaries, compound interest, Roth IRAs, and other finance terms I just learned in the last 5-7 years lol.
We also dive into the psychology of why talking about money is so taboo and why many of us just never learned about it growing up. And I make the case for why we HAVE to talk about it.
"Not talking about money only benefits the incumbents" in the words of Mr. Galloway. The employers/not the employees, the rich/not the financially insecure. The incumbents want money to continue to be a topic shrouded in mystery and secrecy so they can continue to control it. SO LETS TALK $$$

What is Curiously Kristen?
On this show, we talk about lots of things. Personal development, behavioral psychology, business trends, leadership, adventure travel, spiritual practice, starting over somewhere new, taking risks, failing, getting back up and trying again. The subject matter is broad but the connecting fiber is deep. WE'RE EXPLORING OUR CURIOSITY. Without judgement. Without needing permission. Here, we'll learn, grow, and become our best selves - by leaning into the things we're curious about and letting that curiosity pave our path to purpose.
