Episode 155: Encore Edition. How the Whole Wealth Journey Begins.

We would love to hear what you have to say about this episode. Please send us a text.

This is an encore episode of the introduction to the Whole Wealth Journey process that released previously in August, 2024. It's a good refresher or introduction to your hosts, Matthew Grishman and Jim Gebhardt. Enjoy...

Gratitude is a big part of the Whole Wealth Journey and it’s the staple Jim and Matthew use to kick off each show. But this episode is a bit different. Yes, you'll hear gratitude for a family visit to New York and a bucket-list golf trip to Ireland, but the true purpose of sharing gratitude is revealed … hint … it has nothing to do with money yet everything to do with wealth!

As the conversation continues, Jim can't ignore a recent investment he made in something that left Matthew shocked and (almost) speechless.

Next the fellas dive into the first few elements of The Whole Wealth Journey through the lens of Jim and his wife, Beth, and Matthew and his wife, Amie. The guys reveal what financial security means to them, and what keeps them up at night about money. Their unique perspectives might really surprise you! 

Jim’s and Matthew’s unique stories serve as a gateway to a broader discussion on how childhood experiences shape financial habits and money dynamics within personal and professional partnerships. 

What does financial security look like for you? What keeps you up at night about money?
