Redefining Wealth: Emotional Intelligence, Values-Driven Investing, and the Pursuit of Joy

Embark on a transformative exploration of what it truly means to be wealthy with our guest Michael Sakraida, an esteemed author and sharp critic of the wealth management industry.


This episode promises a journey beyond the bank account, into the realms of time richness, social wealth, and the joy that comes from a life well-lived. Mike's insights will challenge your preconceptions, illustrating that managing your money is simpler than you think and that guidance can be a beacon through the fog of financial decisions. With stories and strategies drawn from his book, "Money, Balance, Joy - Improving Your Life Story," we delve into a conversation that will have you rethinking the ultimate purpose of wealth in your life


Discover the power of emotional intelligence in wealth management and why it might just be the secret ingredient to financial success. We tackle the often unspoken truth about how greed, fear, and hope drive our investment choices, and how tapping into the calmness of admired CEOs can help develop the emotional resilience necessary for true wealth. Mike and I share anecdotes and insights on the impact of emotions on our finances, and why learning to master them can be just as crucial as any investment strategy.

Let's redefine investing with a conscience, as we weave through the interplay of personal values and financial decisions, debunking the myth that ethical investments equate to weak returns. As we converse, Mike and I shed light on how a values-driven approach to investing can lead to both a stable portfolio and a sense of fulfillment that withstands market turbulence. We also celebrate leadership that embodies genuineness and shares the benefits of diverse experiences.


By the end of this dialogue, you’ll have uncovered a new perspective on shaping your financial future, one that holds joy and balance as the paramount treasures to seek.
