The Human Revolution with Dylan Bain

After that, the only thing you need to remember is that it is important to not only know what we know but also wha...

Much like everything else, success now isn't defined like it was generations ago. So why are we still judging ourselves by different, inapplicable standards?

These are only a few of the many differences between the traditional and modern metrics of success. But we know...

Talking about our money stories is already hard in and of itself. Talking about them with family? That's a whole other level of difficulty. But although it's hard, it's necessary. Why?  Because our money stories are generational. And in most cases, the stories and beliefs passed down by our family of origin isn't doing us much good.

Money is not about discipline. It is about emotions. It is about our past, present, and future.  Our money stories aren't just about us. It is about our families, our partners, the people in our everyday lives. And so, to get to the root of our money stories, we first need to get to the root of our emotions. And, as many of us know, that is easier said than done. But there isn't a better time to b...

Sometimes, misery and shame is comfortable. It's always been in your life. It's predictable. It's safe. But until when can you keep this in your reality and in your relationships?

Let's give a warm welcome to our guest Jordan Gray as he lends us his expertise to answer all our q...

Our entire society is run by financial institutions. Financial institutions and transactions – well, that involves money.

And most importantly, what can this do for our personal financial growth? Find out in this episode...

Money is emotional. That's why putting logic at the forefront never works out. Personal finance is personal. And so, in order to reimagine our money stories and build better financial habits, we have to start treating them that way.

We all carry money stories that already began way back when we were children. In many cases, these stories that come to shape our approach toward finance lead us to form self-sabotaging actions and unhealthy relationships with money. So how do we change the narrative and rewrite these money stories into something that actually works for us?   Show Highlights [01:37] Stories and social programming...

Humans are social beings. We're built to be part of a tribe. We're built to form relationships, walk distances, and value ourselves beyond our jobs, our vehicles, and our money. So why does it seem like more often than not, we lose track of the very things that actually make us human? Join us in our latest episode as we look beyond just our economic value, learn to build healthier relationships, a...

When we say "relationship," the first thing that comes into mind is a partner, and then afterwards, family, friends, kids, maybe even co-workers. But a relationship is also that waiter in that restaurant you ate, or the clerk at the store. It's with the land that you walk on, the trees that surround you. It's with food, television, and yes, money. Relationship is, in a word, everywhere.  So why is...

When did we start letting numbers define us as human beings? The amount of money you have in the bank, your credit score, your net worth – these all indicate something important in our modern, currency-driven world. But the one thing it shouldn't define is who we are. In this latest episode of Intuitive Finance, join us as we dive into bringing relationships back at the heart of personal finance a...

How often have we seen ourselves and other people around us be defined by their wealth? Is money and the accompanying pressure why some people struggle with work-life balance?

What is money in the first place? Why does it m...

There is an emotional element in our attitudes and decision-making around money. And when that element takes over, financial challenges like overspending can occur.
