I mean, just give me 20 or 100 bucks here and there.

And he was no longer able to do that.

Wow.

So I remember being fascinated by this conversation 20 years ago because I was like, I don't understand it.

I don't know how to make it.

I don't know why anyone would give me money.

You know, where does my value come from?

Like, how am I going to ask someone for money when I don't even know what skills or values I have?

Right, right, right.

And early on, I started to learn from these mentors and coaches teaching me about money.

And one of them was around the way we speak about money.

Because if we are essentially saying this is bad and evil or I'm not good enough for this, then why would that thing come to us if we think it's bad and evil?

We're going to be rejecting it.

Or if we don't think we're deserving of it, why would we receive it?

Why would we bring it into us?

Right.

And so I had to really shift this conversation 20 years ago around money.

and do what you talk about, which is just having more open conversations.

Not talking about it like it's this hush-hush thing, but just being more open and conversational and not being so emotionally heightened when you talk about it.

And learn from a peaceful place of talking about it.
