Being an engineer goes way beyond the fact that we do design work during the
day. I want to start expanding into areas of our life that we are not really
been exposed early on in our careers. Personally, I enjoy talking about finances
and our guest today has a lot of great insight into this topic. We discuss some
of the reasons it is so hard to talk about money and especially when we make
money mistakes. He has worked with many people guiding them and helping them
take control over their finance. This episode was a lot of fun to record and I
hope you enjoy it.
