How much Is enough? Is money the ultimate goal and what happens if we get there? How do we balance the survival of scarcity and the abundance of wealth? In this episode, we sit down with John Coleman, author of Good Money: 6 Steps to Building a Financial Life with Purpose, to explore the powerful — and often overlooked — connection between money and well-being.

Together, we unpack how financial mindsets formed in childhood shape our adult lives, relationships, and decision-making. John shares why money should be viewed as a tool rather than a destination, and how the pursuit of wealth can sometimes pull people further away from fulfillment. This episode challenges the way we think about success, encouraging a shift from chasing wealth to building a life grounded in purpose, values, and connection.
