What I Learned Living with Less
Have you ever read a book that has stayed with you for years?
"The Year of Less" by Cait Flanders is one of those books for me. That’s why I wanted to share a replay of the interview I did with Cait a few years ago on the podcast. In it, we discuss her book and how money influences every aspect of our lives, shaping who we become as individuals, and how her book helped her realize the changes she wanted to make in her own.

What we doin?
I love the idea of micro dosing financial info. Chris has great content in a digestible bite size format.
Short and to the point
I have been listening to this podcast for some time. The content is always helpful and to the point! I look forward to new episodes and am so glad Chris has added an additional episode per week.
Keep up the good work!
Y’all need this podcast
Ok this podcast does a phenomenal job making finance fun and easily digestible when it’s traditionally pretty gate kept and boring. Love it!
