Jesse kicks today's show off with a monologue on the importance of having the right temperament for investing - it's not really about intelligence at all. Emotional stability and disciplined decision making outweigh expertise and intelligence when investing. The Dunning-Kruger effect and the paradox of choice are also highlighted, emphasizing the need to prioritize action over perfection in personal finance. For the second half of the show, Dr. Brad Klontz, Co-Founder of the Financial Psychology Institute and author of Start Thinking Rich, joins to discuss “money scripts”, which are subconscious beliefs about money inherited from previous generations, our society, or other people we're surrounded by. Throughout the conversation, the duo dispels myths about wealth, and makes a distinction between being “poor” (a limiting mindset) and being “broke” (a temporary financial state). The conversation gets deep into the stories we tell ourselves, how we present money, and how to adopt an internal locus of control and make lifestyle changes. This episode is a must listen for anyone wanting to explore their own “money scripts” and rethink the way they talk to themselves - and others - about money. Key Takeaways:• How the Dunning-Kruger effect is affecting your investing decisions. • The difference between a satisficer and a maximizer - and why you may want to be the former. • What is a “money script”? And how can you change yours? • The patterns you may have inherited from even your great grandparents. • Consider how you rank on the following four patterns: avoidance, worship, vigilance, and status. • Research backed psychological insights about your relationship with money.

This episode is brought to you by The Institute for Redefining Wealth, a transformative 12-month program designed to help individuals align with their Ignited Aligned Vision and elevate their lives through a proven framework rooted in the Six Pillars of Wealth. This week on the show, Patrice discusses the #MONEYpillar with Dr. Bradley T. Klotz, founder of the Financial Psychology Institute®, and Adrian Brambilla, a TikTok influencer and entrepreneur who made $1.7 million while living in a van.

Questions to Ask Yourself: How do your current beliefs about money dictate your financial life, and what changes are you willing to make to change that mindset? In what ways might you be holding onto possessions as symbols of success, rather than focusing on true wealth and freedom? Are you surrounding yourself with people who inspire financial growth or financial stagnation? What sacrifices are you willing to make for long-term wealth, and how does your current lifestyle reflect or contradict that commitment? How can you shift your focus from accumulating material things to investing in the future for financial independence and security?

Start Thinking Rich In this episode of Richer Soul, two incredible guests, Dr. Brad Klontz and Adrian Brambila, dive deep into financial psychology and the entrepreneurial journey. Brad, an expert in behavioral finance, shares his insights on the mental roadblocks we face with money, while Adrian, a successful internet entrepreneur, offers a unique perspective on building wealth through hard work and creativity. Together, they explore the intersection of money, mindset, and success. Key Takeaways: The Power of Financial Psychology: Dr. Brad Klontz emphasizes how our subconscious money beliefs shape our financial behaviors. He highlights that many of these beliefs are inherited from our family and early experiences, leading to self-sabotaging habits if left unchecked. From Immigrant Roots to Millionaire Entrepreneur: Adrian Brambila shares his inspiring story of coming from humble beginnings and leveraging his work ethic to build multiple online businesses. His experiences highlight that financial success is achievable through focus, perseverance, and leveraging opportunities. Mindset Matters: Both guests underscore that success is more about mindset than strategy. Whether it's dealing with money trauma or transitioning from employee to entrepreneur, rewiring our brains for financial success is crucial. Money Learning: Inherited Money Beliefs: Brad shares how growing up in a lower-income household with strong work ethic values influenced his approach to money. However, as he advanced in his career, he realized the importance of addressing his limiting beliefs around wealth accumulation, which he terms "money scripts"—subconscious beliefs about money that can hold people back financially. The Role of Mentorship: Adrian highlights how mentorship played a pivotal role in shaping his financial knowledge. From learning about Roth IRAs in college to understanding the power of minimalism and online entrepreneurship, mentors guided him toward smart financial choices. Bios: Dr. Brad Klontz is a financial psychologist and a leading authority on behavioral finance. He's the Managing Principal of YMW Advisors, Associate Professor at Creighton University, and founder of the Financial Psychology Institute®. Brad has authored eight books on money psychology, with his research featured in numerous major media outlets. Adrian Brambila is an internet entrepreneur and former professional dancer for T-Pain. Known for his unconventional journey, Adrian built a million-dollar business while living out of a van. He is the founder of Brambila Method, teaching people how to generate income through online businesses. Key Discussion Points: Brad's Story: Brad reflects on his journey from racking up $100,000 in student loan debt to discovering the field of financial psychology. A pivotal moment came when he lost money trading stocks and realized his psychological patterns with money were holding him back. This motivated him to explore why “intelligent people do stupid things with money” and led him to research money scripts. Adrian's Entrepreneurial Path: Adrian shares his early life growing up in a Mexican immigrant family and the lessons they instilled about working hard for money. His journey from running parts at a Toyota dealership to becoming a six-figure entrepreneur illustrates how grit and resilience, combined with a minimalistic lifestyle, can lead to financial freedom. Overcoming Money Trauma: Both guests discuss the importance of addressing money-related trauma. Brad reveals how money trauma can manifest in poor financial decisions and how therapy can help resolve these deep-seated issues. Adrian touches on how cultural and family influences affected his money mindset but how he learned to transform those influences into a source of strength. Achieving Financial Independence: Adrian explains how his transition from a traditional job to making money online gave him control over his time and financial future. He stresses the importance of diversifying income streams and being adaptable in the face of challenges. Conclusion: This episode provides a comprehensive look into the mindsets behind financial success, highlighting both the psychological and entrepreneurial aspects of money management. Brad Klontz and Adrian Brambila offer valuable lessons on how to overcome mental roadblocks and take actionable steps toward financial independence.

Dr. Brad Klontz, Psy.D., CFP® | Financial Psychologist | Author | Professor | Adrian Brambila | Entrepreneur | Author | Summary: In this conversation, we explore how to start thinking rich by shifting from a poor mindset to a rich mindset. There's no limit to how much you can earn, but once you achieve financial freedom, it's your responsibility to find your purpose. While money can provide safety and security, it's essential to use it wisely and not rely on material possessions for happiness. The discussion highlights how a poor mindset—believing the system is rigged and feeling powerless—can hold people back, even those with significant wealth. Success comes from changing your beliefs about money, adopting the right behaviours, and consistently challenging your mindset to create lasting change. BIOs: Adrian Brambila Adrian Brambila is an internet entrepreneur and former professional dancer for T-Pain, who has become a leading voice in online marketing. With over 1.7 million social media followers, Adrian's unconventional journey saw him living in a van and travelling the USA during the pandemic, while making over $100K per month online. He's passionate about showing how wealth and minimalism can coexist. Adrian is the founder of Bramify.com and BrambilaMethod.com, and the author of Start Thinking Rich. Dr. Bradley T. Klontz, Psy.D., CFP® Dr. Brad Klontz is a leading expert in financial psychology, financial planning, and behavioral finance. He's an Associate Professor of Practice at Creighton University's Heider College of Business, Co-Founder of the Financial Psychology Institute, and Managing Principal of YYMW Advisors. Dr. Brad has co-authored eight books on the psychology of money, including Psychology of Financial Planning and Mind Over Money. His work bridges the gap between financial behaviour and emotional well-being, helping people create healthier relationships with money. Episode Takeaways: Money can offer safety, security, and freedom, but it's important not to rely on material possessions for happiness. The first step to financial freedom is believing you can change your financial situation. Taking responsibility for your financial choices helps you understand and navigate the system. While the system isn't necessarily rigged, it's crucial to recognize and address issues like racism, sexism, and classism. Being poor is a mindset, not just about lacking money, and even wealthy people can have a poor mindset. Changing our beliefs about money is essential for achieving financial success. A mindset shift is necessary for long-term, sustainable change. Continuously challenging and upgrading your beliefs about money is key. Content that provokes emotional reactions and inspires action is powerful. Being open-minded and learning from others' perspectives helps foster growth.

How to Master Your Financial Psychology Take away: Developing an internal locus of control, where you take responsibility for your financial outcomes instead of blaming external factors, is a powerful mindset that can lead to significantly improved financial behaviors and outcomes. Money Learnings: Brad grew up in a lower-income family, with his parents divorcing when he was young. Both sets of grandparents lived in trailer parks, so he was very aware of the challenges and limitations of being poor. This drove Brad to want to figure out how to not experience the same financial struggles as his family. He developed an intense interest in understanding the psychology behind why "reasonably intelligent people do something so stupid" with their money. Brad credits this early curiosity and drive to understand money as the foundation for his later career path in financial psychology and his mission to help people improve their financial behaviors and mindsets. Bio: Bradley T. Klontz, Psy.D., CFP® is an expert in financial psychology, behavioral finance, and financial planning. He is a Managing Principal of YMW Advisors, an Associate Professor of Practice at Creighton University Heider College of Business, and a founder of the Financial Psychology Institute®. Dr. Klontz has written eight books on the psychology of money and his work has been featured on ABC News' 20/20, Good Morning America, and in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times and many more. Highlights from this episode: The importance of understanding your family's relationship with money and how it shapes your own beliefs and behaviors around money. The concept of "money avoidance" - the belief that rich people are greedy and money is corrupting, which can lead to self-sabotaging financial behaviors. The danger of the "money focus" or "money worship" mindset, where material possessions are equated with happiness, leading to unhealthy outcomes. The power of automating savings and creating a clear vision for your financial future, rather than just focusing on the present moment. The importance of finding purpose and meaning beyond just accumulating wealth, and the potential pitfalls of having too much free time. The idea that "retirement is for dead people" and the value of continually working towards new goals, even after achieving financial freedom. The emphasis on developing an internal locus of control, where you take responsibility for your financial outcomes rather than blaming external factors.

Why You Should Listen: This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the power of listening and how it can help us change our money story. Dr. Klontz discusses the importance of embracing the discomforts that present themselves around money instead of fleeing or avoiding the discomfort. He shares how listening is the most important part of helping people change and how experiences, and not telling, are the most effective ways to make meaningful change. Dr. Klontz provides practical insights and tools that can help listeners understand and change their money story. He emphasizes that if we learn to listen to our own truth, the money will take care of itself. Dr. Klontz also suggests music is one of the most powerful ways to communicate with our authentic selves. When we hear the words being sung back to us, it's like no other feeling to be heard. It's a way people can feel heard. Highlights: - The power of first money memories and how they shape our beliefs about money - The importance of understanding our financial flashpoints - Embracing discomfort around money and learning from it - The importance of listening and how it can help us change our money story - How to take off the armour we have built up around our money story - Why engage with experiences over "being told" what do to is most effective at changing money beliefs - Dr. Klontz explains how the authentic part of us speaks in metaphors and analogies, pictures; it is a sensory voice, and music excites more areas of the brain than anything else Quotes: “If you can learn to honour your own truth, the money will take care of itself” Dr. Ted Klontz “Every kind of tear has a message” Dr. Ted Klontz "Telling is not teaching" Dr. Ted Klonz “We run out of life before we realize it's not about the money” Dr. Ted Klontz Links:- Dr. Ted Klontz's website: CLICK HERE - John Fox's poem "When Someone Deeply Listens to You" CLICK HERE

Why is it impolite to talk about money? Why are many of us uncomfortable with our own money habits? And how do we change things?

Hey everybody... it's Pete. Raise your hand if you've never had any challenges with money. Look around. See that? You're all alone. OK, all gimmicks aside, it's money week and that's scary. Jobs won and lost. Health care, insurance, education. Bills coming due. Major, unexpected expenses. It's no understatement to say that how we relate to money defines how we relate to the world around us. Ted Klontz is back on the show with us this week. Last time he came around he was talking about readiness for change. What we didn't cover in that conversation is a non-trivial part of his career: financial behavior. And he doesn't do it alone. Brad Klontz, Ted's son, is a founder of the Financial Psychology Institute and an associate professor in Financial Psychology at Creighton University. He's spent much of his professional career helping people with money and wealth issues and together with his father has written books such as Wired for Wealth, and Mind over Money. Their latest, Money Mammoth, dives deep into the psychological barriers that stand between us and our financial success. Talking about money out loud is terrifying for a lot of us. Together, Brad and Ted help us to approach this subject with a little less trepidation thanks to the knowledge that we're not doing it alone — many of us feel this way, and many of us are looking for change. We hope you find a dose of that change today in their conversation with Dodge Rea.

I am your host, Dominique Henderson, and today's conversation is with Dr. Brad Klontz. Dr. Brad and I met each other in 20, early 2020. I invited him on the podcast to talk about behavioral finance, because that is his expertise. But as of late, Dr. Brad has been spending a ton of time on developing his social media strategy specifically on TikTok. Today, the conversation is all about how to use TikTok to market your financial services. Dr. Brad and I talk about the missed opportunity that financial professionals are possibly losing out on when it comes to social media and specifically this platform. We talk about why we talk about some strategies from a macro and a micro standpoint about how you can actually start putting content out there and what it's all about. Are you mission focused? Who are you trying to reach? And do you have a strategy for doing that? This promises to be one of those conversations that you are going to walk away with a greater understanding on exactly what you can be doing to use TikTok to market your financial services practice. So let's go to the conversation. 00:01:25 Dominique Welcome to another episode of the conversations for financial professionals podcast, where we are shaping the next generation 00:01:35 Dominique Of financial advice today, we have Dr. Brad Klontz. You help people master the psychology of wealth and live a life of abundance. I got that right from your LinkedIn via, in addition to that, you're a managing principal at your mental wealth advisors, co-founder of the financial psychology Institute and associate professor of practice at Creighton university Heider college of business. Woo hoo. I am afraid and alum, you're also the author of five books on financial psychology, including mind over money, facilitating financial health and financial therapy. Most recently money mammoth unlocking the secrets of financial psychology to break from the herd and avoid extinction. The reason that largely you're here, my friend is because I know of all this stuff through your TikTok account, because you are such a TikTok savant. Welcome to the podcast. 00:02:28 Brad Thank you. It's I, I love chatting with you, so I'm very happy to be here. Yeah, 00:02:32 Dominique Man, we share a lot of similar interests, a lot of common folk that we know together. Matter of fact, I was just talking to a mutual friend, Sandra Davis. And so yeah, this is really cool. Let me ask you this. How have you been like, we're in a new year? 20 Delta is a hand that most of us would not have expected. Do you have any specific takeaways? 00:02:45 Brad Yeah, I like, I'm just fascinated with, first of all, it's terrible, it's been awful. Like let's just all admit it. Right. And, but what I have this little mantra that I, that on good days, I say to myself, which is where's the opportunity. This is something that I'm constantly feeding into my own mind, so that I can be aware of where the opportunities are. So, with that awareness, I ran across a bunch of opportunities in 2020, and I actually had a fabulous year creating content, exploring some other business models, creating some couple courses. I mean, I've just been throwing myself into, this is the reality we have. So where's the opportunity within this reality? 00:03:41 Dominique No, I think that's wonderful. I, I don't know if this is a Chinese proverb, but it's like the same symbol for chaos is the same symbol for opportunity. It's like where there's chaos, there's also opportunity. Which I think is a good segue too, because what I want to talk about today, we know that you can go with the best of them on the financial therapy and the behavioral finance front. We'll link to that previous episode that we talked about before, in judging risk tolerance. I'm pretty sure we'll overlap some subjects with that, but I really want to talk about, how to market financial services, and what maybe financial professionals can be thinking about using some of these platforms, specifically a platform such as TikTok, which, I don't know if people know this term, but about organic reach is incredible, for this platform. I want you to kind of dive into that and I think the way I want to kind of set that up though, is how do you believe did take me through the evolution first? How do you think marketing has changed from like winning you and I got in the business versus now, like kind of opine on that for . 00:04:44 Brad Yeah. I mean, I, I'm not, I wouldn't consider myself an expert in marketing, although I probably am from, outside perspectives, but I feel like there's been a big hesitation to get into social media from the compliance side of the business. We're always slow on that side. Because when you talk to your compliance office about doing anything, you say, Hey, I, can we talk about, and then they say no, because that's how they get paid and that's how they stay alive. That's, they're much happier if you do nothing. 00:05:16 Dominique Can I say something parenthetically though? okay. I do agree with that notion largely I think let's call it Tim cases or seven or six, or maybe even more than that eight out of 10 cases are like that. Would you also say that compliance officers, in a, let's say you're managing a thousand or 1500 or 10,000, registered reps. You also have to manage to the lowest common denominator too. Right? So you have to say no, almost right, because you got Joe knucklehead over there, that's going to be doing something. Whereas you got all these other people that would be following the rules, but then you've got the Joe knuckleheads. 00:05:51 Brad No, it's absolutely true. Unless you're making it crystal clear, you're not going to have any recourse in terms of saying, Hey, didn't, you weren't supposed to do that. So, it's nothing but love and good vibes for your compliance officer, but just understand their job is to keep your business around, and to make sure that you're doing right by society and taking care of people. And so that's their mindset. 00:06:13 Dominique No, I would agree. They, they got that the mentality of the can't sink, the battleship, it only takes one person, to be, somewhere on the SCCs radar or the state, it's securities advisor and that one headline tanks, the whole ship. So I get it. 00:06:29 Brad It does, it does seem to be like a shift though, where more and more people are on social media. I mean, that's what LinkedIn is, by the way. Like, if you've ever put a post on LinkedIn, it's the equivalent of doing anything on TikTok or Instagram or any place else, frankly. I mean, you're putting yourself out there. It's these, it's essentially a website, an app. I think it's hard to find advisers right now who aren't involved in social media. 00:06:53 Dominique No, I, I think you are right in that. I think one of the things that I've always admonished or strongly encouraged, the advisors that I work with too, is making it personal. There's nothing wrong with crossing the lines. I think maybe you can, of kind of speak to this, those maybe what advisors probably perceive or financial professionals as a whole perceive as a gray area, right. Where I don't want to talk too much about my personal or I don't know how that may fill into fit into the narrative of what I'm, whatever I'm trying to, offer from a financial services standpoint. Do, do you think there's a gray area or do you like, this is all me, this is all Dominique, this is all Dominic. Like, how do you view that? 00:07:37 Brad I look at it, like if I have a client in the office, who's just walked in more of a traditional introduction. I might not just lay out my entire life story like that I don't think they really want to hear that, but I think in terms of social media, I think the more that you can talk about yourself and be yourself, the more likely you are to attract clients who are exactly the ones you want. I feel like social media does throw yourself out there in a broader context in the world. I think it's actually to your advantage, frankly, to talk about some of your interests and, more personal information about yourself, do you have kids? Do you like tennis? I mean, what is it you're into because people will, they're looking for ways to connect. Like how do you stand out from every other advisor? And some of that personal information can be really great in terms of attracting people who frankly, you probably want to work with anyway. 00:08:27 Dominique No, I love that. I love that. You're saying that because I think what advisors and financial professionals may think about, they may think about the cell first versus the connection first, because there is no cell without the connection. So I'm glad you said that. I think the opportunity that is potentially lost, if you don't wait out onto the dance floor of social media, is that, people don't get to know the non-suited up button up person that is behind all of us. Right. There is a, whether we actually physically wear a suit and tie or not, there is a more conservative side to what we do. That's what I think consumers view us as, but when we show, spending time with our significant others or whatever that may be, that does offer another perspective into who you are. That's what clients like you said are connected to. 00:09:16 Dominique So I love that. 00:09:16 Brad No, that's great. If you feel weird about selling on social media, if this gives you a bad feeling inside, I just want you to honor that feeling because it's a terrible idea to sell on social media, by the way, I mean, it's just the absolute wrong thing to do. Because people really get turned off on it really fast, but social media, the opportunity there is for you to sell yourself and to provide content that's helpful, that's useful. That's engaging. What you want to have is people think of you when they think of that problem, eventually that they run into in their financial life. They think of you as somebody that they know they trust. I mean, there's this weird psychological phenomenon where we feel an intimate connection with people on social media. It's something really to be curious about and this step back and think about this. 00:10:01 Brad Like, if I've watched 20 videos of yours, I'm going to feel a special connection to you. It's, it's the K person brain. It's like, if I'm staring somebody directly in the face and listening to them, my brain says, this is somebody, and trust because our brains have not evolved to the point of social media where we realized actually this person doesn't know you at all. What's so fascinating. It creeps into your subconscious that there's this connection. And it happens. It happens to all of us on social media, and there is the opportunity for you to feel a connection and have other people feel connected to you and feel a sense of trust and connection. 00:10:33 Dominique Let's double click on that for a second. Cause I want to park right there. I think you bring up a lot of good points and I'm loving the fact that you're bringing the behavioral science part of how humans just interact. I think this may be lost on some financial professionals. That's why I want to dig in because the more video content you create, whether yours there's one like, or no likes or 1500 likes, you're still building that connection because people are seeing you more. They're they're getting to know like, and trust you like Ziglar says, so I wonder to your point earlier, or maybe not, is it a sell so much if you are just connecting with them, right? Like, what is your opinion about this whole notion around selling? Cause I know some people feel a funny way about that word. What, what would be your thoughts about it in the context of making that consistent content and connecting with people? It seems like the cell has patterns naturally. 00:11:29 Dominique That's my opinion. 00:11:29 Brad Yeah. That's my opinion also. I think direct sales and sales on social media always feel bad. Like they do. Like if you want to give away content that's actually the culture of social media is giving away content, giving away information. I think that you got to think about what is it you're selling. And in my opinion, you're selling yourself. You're selling yourself as the expert, as this incredibly helpful person. If people don't have to look really far, all they have to do is click on your profile to find your website and see exactly what you do. It's not like you're hiding that in any way, but you want people to be attracted to you based on this incredible value you're giving to the world. They're going to find you if they want your service. Absolutely. I agree. I agree. So let's pivot here because, 00:12:13 Dominique People listening to this at this point are probably like, okay, so like what is TikTok as opposed to Instagram or Facebook or any of the things that I'm let's call it, I'm more, they're more normalized or are they more familiar with kind of give us a, a macro breakdown of like really what TikTok is as an information platform or social platform, before we kind of dive into the weeds of maybe strategy. 00:12:41 Brad Yeah. I just see TikTok is just the next big social media app. I don't see it as a whole lot different from Facebook, from Instagram, from Myspace, do you still have a MySpace account, but you take it as back it's just the next thing now what's interesting. It has its own culture, which is really fascinating. You have to approach each one of these social media apps and websites as a culture. Like you really have to understand the culture. It's a totally different culture. All of them are by the way, but what TikTok does it's you gotta think short form video. This is punchy stuff. It's 10 seconds, 15 seconds. You can go as long as 60 seconds. I think the average one that really hits is around 10, 15 seconds long. And, it has a lot of incredible in-app editing tools. The thing I love about Tik TOK is that the bar is so incredibly low on production value that there's like literally no excuse. 00:13:39 Brad What's so fascinating about the entire platform is highly produced. Content is sort of shown there. What people want is they want to see you in your living room. I'll be honest. They want to see you in your bathroom. There's a line, there's a lot of content that has been created where people are standing in their bathroom in front of the mirror. Essentially they're looking at their phones, staring at the mirror, looking back at themselves. It's unbelievable. People have created millions of viewers based on that, but that shows you the intimacy people want to see you in your natural setting. They don't want to see a studio. They don't want to see a bunch of production. 00:14:13 Dominique Let's pause right here, because I've worked with, I don't know, I've probably consulted hundreds of advisors and we talk about a term. You just use production value, right? Because there is a certain Polish that let's say a video on your website, talking about your financial services and how much AUM you manage will be different from the content that you put on TikTok . What I've always told advisors though, is before come up with an idea about what needs to go on your website and you hire a crew and you blah, and do all that kind of stuff. Wouldn't it be nice to kind of know if that idea is going to even fly by testing it out on social media. You only need a phone to do that. Like, do you agree with that? Like, cause I think these platforms have a really great testing mechanism, like a trying mechanism when you kind of think about maybe refining some type of precious metal and all the draws burn off, like your message can get a lot better if you hone it by social proof. 00:15:13 Dominique Like, do people even resonate with one idea that you have thrown out on TikTok or one of these other platforms before you do a whole lot of production value with your website? Would you agree with that? 00:15:22 Brad I think that's brilliant. I absolutely agree with it because the great thing about TikTok and some of the other social media platforms is you're going to get feedback almost immediately on whether or not this is resonating with people because the algorithm doesn't lie. 00:15:37 Dominique Explain that, unpack that because all these platforms have their own algorithm, right? So just for kicks and grins, so YouTube, which I've kind of made my home on is it's all about video views and it's watch time and everything else, desert it's pales in comparison, comments likes all that kind of stuff. That's great. But video views watch times. That's the biggest thing. Long form content is a better idea, especially if you're giving really helpful stuff. Whereas it sounds like it's the opposite on TikTok. 00:16:07 Brad The opposite on TikTok , the same metrics apply though. It's all about watch time and it's all about views. It, but essentially the attention span is so much lower there because of that one minute, barrier. So it's gotta be punchy. It's gotta be short. I mean, it's really been an exercise for me on how to deliver like, viral content because it's not going to go anywhere unless you grab somebody in the first one to three seconds. I feel like on YouTube, you have more like you have 15 to 20 seconds to grab somebody. Right? And so I think it's a very different and I feel so much more pressure putting out a YouTube video when it comes to production content too. Like it takes me for a four minute video on YouTube. I'm going to say five hours to write it, to edit it, to, put it in B roll, whatever I'm going to do there. 00:16:56 Brad What's so fascinating about TikTok is I'll make six videos a day in an hour. 00:17:03 Dominique Because you're just really just shooting on your phone and it's just, stream of consciousness type of stuff. 00:17:09 Brad You're shooting on your phone. It's incredible. And there's, that's what I love. I love the low barrier. It just takes away all of your excuses. Like just write down all of your excuses right now about why you're not producing content and they're all erased when it comes to TikTok. Nope, you actually don't have to do your hair. You don't even need to leave your bathroom and all you need is your phone. So get on it. 00:17:30 Dominique No, I love that. I love that. That kind of dovetails into maybe why you chose that platform to kind of, really build, a following there. I think one of the key things here is, as an, as a financial professional, there's a lot of things that we do afraid we take tests, afraid we, get licenses, and are afraid. We talk with clients. This just seems like another barrier of things that you do afraid, and you put yourself out there. I'm wondering, what have you noticed from just a mental barrier standpoint that may keep people from moving forward with this? I know we kind of went up, went over this a little earlier, but I'm just trying to think maybe with your talks with peers or whatnot, they're like, I don't really know. Cause that's my my market's not on there or whatever. 00:18:19 Brad Yeah. So, I mean, you obviously have to think about what persona you want to put out into the world. That's something to think about, right? Like who are you on social media? And it's not like you're pretending to be somebody else. I mean, you all have various roles. Like I'm a very different father than I am professor. Like, so you have to just think about who you are on social media and not only that, but on which platform, like, I'll be honest with you. There's 99% of the stuff I put on TikTok. I would never put on LinkedIn, are you kidding me? Like my Dean's going to see that stuff. And so. 00:18:53 Dominique I don't know, 00:18:53 Brad If he is, I'm very scared right now. So, so you've got to think about like the culture, like, what is it for me though? I gotta tell you it goes beyond that. Like, so I actually feel like on a deep philosophical level, like I'm here on earth to do something and I don't really care. I have this avatar onTikTok that I have in mind. This is somebody that I deeply love and I care about, and I'm going to try to connect with this person, whatever it takes, if I have to do like a silly like dance, if I have to do something like that, I don't care. Like I I'm so mission focused on TikTok in terms of trying to give a certain message to this person that I care about on there, that a lot of that melts away. I that's actually been my hack for overcoming my ego around giving speeches around doing podcast interviews, media interviews, television, the whole deal is what is my mission? And my mission as you mentioned, is, it's to help bring hope and healing to the world. 00:19:52 Brad That's my mission. I run everything through that and then my ego melts away. That's, that's, 00:19:58 Dominique It's actually a good segue. I want to talk about, let's talk about TikTok micro strategies. Like if somebody is listening right now and they're like, okay, I'm buying in. I think I can do this. Let, let me start to think about some tangible steps where I can use this specific social app to start to get my message out. I think you provide a really good blueprint. Let's kind of unpack that. Have a mission that basically you see how you're impacting the world as a financial professional, whether that giving comprehensive financial plans or building investment strategies or whatever that is to whoever that is. That is a very first, a good, very first step. What would you say is kind of next, or maybe something from Dr. Brads blueprint of how you create content? 00:20:45 Brad I would say have an avatar in, so by avatar, I mean, who is the person on the other side of this phone, who's going to be watching your content? Who is that person? What do they care about? What are they worried about at night? What do they love? What do they, and so I, by the way, I have a different avatar for each app, essentially because they have different audiences. I'm speaking a different language, I'm talking to a different person. I think that really helps that is if there's anything that I could pin my success on TikTok , it's probably that, like, I have a very clear avatar in there. Somebody I'm talking to, it's not in frankly, it's not my typical multi-million dollar wealth management client. Although much of it applies, I have a very specific avatar and the more specific it can be about who is this person you want to talk to, it just really helps you get really clear about the message you want to deliver. 00:21:35 Dominique Yeah. Cause I think, one thing I've been guilty of, in the past and even now, right, is getting a little lazy with the different cultures across social media, in that I post the exact same thing one platform and another, and I start to get a little, savvy about that, which is you change the, some stuff is, one-to-one but very rarely nowadays. To your point, if you have an avatar in mind, that's a specific message to that particular avatar in that community, based on the culture of that platform. Your posting strategy on TikTok, though, from looking at your profile seems to be, like you said, up to six times a day, and I don't know that works on like a LinkedIn or anywhere else. Can you kind of speak to that about the amount of times that you post in, like when you post and things of that nature? 00:22:25 Brad Yeah. So I agree with you. I think it's very platform specific, but I've also seen a undeniable correlation with the amount of content somebody puts out and the impact and the reach, like you just can't separate those two things. If you posted six times a day on LinkedIn, I can guarantee you within one year, you're going to have way more action, way more views, way more followers, et cetera. Now, now granted, you're really going to have to dedicate yourself to that, right. I mean, because that's a major strategy and about two years ago, that's what I did. I essentially said, I'm going to spend an hour or two a day on social media. I started, we're talking to financial planners here, right. So I actually have a spreadsheet. Okay. Where I, I track all my numbers for the last two years across my social media platforms, because I decided I'm going to put some energy into that. 00:23:14 Brad I'm going to put some energy into growing those platforms. And so, yeah. The more content you produce, the more action you're gonna do. 00:23:20 Dominique Yeah, no, I think so. What I'm hearing from you is have a mission because it starts always with your, why I would agree, have an specific avatar that you are targeting. Then, I guess with that, you got to learn the nuances of the community dynamic or the social platform dynamic. You gotta be, I would say you got to start tracking your metrics. I think, cause that just talks to the strategy. Cause you're, these are for, this is forethought, right? You're not like maybe there are some stream of conscience and stuff that you're just doing, but do you have a social media content calendar? Like on this day I'm going to post this particular thing or around this particular thought that you do that too? 00:24:00 Brad I don't, I don't at all. Yeah. I, I have a target where I'm trying to post three to six times a day on TikTok. I try to take one of those posts if they're relevant and push it over to Instagram or LinkedIn, that kind of thing. 00:24:15 Dominique Okay. Okay. Having a strategy, whether the accountant is planned out or not is still part of what you would agree or recommend for people to have. 00:24:28 Brad Yeah, absolutely. Like I have a plan in mind, like what are the platforms you want to focus on? And I think it's a good idea to pick one primary and then maybe two or three secondary. So you're going after maybe three platforms. You have a primary and a secondary, because it can be really tough to hit all those at once. But yeah. 00:26:16 Dominique Talk about, talk about having that primary or maybe that hub. I think that's kind of key because I think at least with the conversations that I have financial professionals are like, yeah, I'm fine with doing this. It's just, it's just so overwhelming. Well, I mean, because there's Twitter, there's Facebook, there's Instagram, there's YouTube, there's blah. It's like, well, pick one hub where you can maybe have your let's call it cornerstone content or whatnot. As you said, push them out to those other two or three that are kind of minor in tertiary with maybe segments of it or split up content or whatever. I mean, if, I guess if you pick TikTok , you may have to think about some longer form stuff because of the time limit. What, what would be your thoughts on that? 00:26:56 Brad Actually my best, LinkedIn content happens to be TikTok videos because they're pretty right. And they're punchy. Right. So yeah, I absolutely agree with that. And, and you just need to have a general philosophy, like how many posts do you plan on doing a day? And I know, and I'm, as I'm saying this, I'm just imagining the listener going with all these mental blocks to doing this, right. You're going to look like a fool. You're going to look, people are going to judge you and it's like, look, your first videos are your worst videos. Like they're just absolutely the worst and you're going to have to get over that hump. I would suggest that you make terrible embarrassing content right now versus three years from now. So get embarrassed right now. Get it pumping out now, because three years from now, you're going to be in a much better place. 00:27:40 Brad I'll tell you this, I actually, I think I posted, Oh my goodness. Almost a thousand videos last year on TikTok. All of oh no, just on TikTok. Yeah. I think it was in the 900 range. I'm going to tell you what, like they are way better now than they were at the beginning of 2020. 00:27:59 Dominique Wow. Okay. Let me just unpack that for somebody that is cause I'm big on numbers. For somebody that's out there, if you posted a thousand on just one platform, that's roughly 20, which the math is about two to three a day. For all of those out there dislike does just, can't do one. I mean, there's inspiration for you, but I mean, let's talk about something that I want to park on real quick. Went over this before, but I want to unpack this because you brought it up a couple of times. The actual talk track that is going on in your head when you're putting yourself out there and you're making a thousand videos is man, I'm gonna do this. Whether people like it or not, this is my mission. I'm focused on the person that I can help. I may look foolish. I may not do everything right. 00:28:49 Dominique I'm gonna make some mistakes. At the end of the day, I'm going to check this thing off as done because I actually did it as opposed to, I don't have the right phone. My compliance department's going to say whatever, maybe talk about some of the self-work or self-awareness personal development that maybe needs to take place with that person. That's repeating that in their head. 00:29:14 Brad Yeah. You got to get over yourself. I mean like it, one way to look at it is, that is like the most devastating form of self-love and ego adoration. It's like, look, you can't really love yourself that much. Right? Like, it's almost egotistical for you to be that worried about it. It's like, who are you? Yeah. Right, right. It's like, so for me, anyway, that's kind of where I go with it. I'm giving you my own mental tricks. Like, the other thing is like, how dare you? Like, all right. Here's the other thing, how dare you? Honestly, I am so upset if you're listening to this right now, and you are a financial expert and you are letting the financial conversation be had by all these people who know nothing about it. If you want to know what got me onto TikTok, it's this, my nephew showed me TikTok. 00:30:04 Brad And I started flipping through there. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was seeing day traders, selling day trading, talking to me about all their returns, talking about this incredible thing. This is the way to make money. I got so upset. I got so angry. That's why I started creating content. I'm like, there's an entire generation of people here who are falling into this trap. And I was stunned. I couldn't believe it because I thought that kind of died away in the nineties. When the tech bubble, I couldn't believe that it was back in full force and I sat there and I saw all these people and I could picture them all being incredibly hurt by this misinformation. So, psychologists do this all the time too. Like they're not very good at speaking to the public. They're not very good at making things understandable. 00:30:46 Brad All the best-selling self-help books are written by non psychologists. Some of the information they give out is just, is terrible and harmful. I'm just going to say that, come on, man, I need you. I need you on these social media platforms, sharing the truth, educating people if because you're not doing it. Other people are doing it. Guess what? There's an entire generation of people are consuming this content and getting all this misinformation because you are too afraid of being judged by somebody. 00:31:15 Dominique Wow. I think, that deserves an a man because I resonate with that so much. I think there are a lot of us that, Andy Andrews has this very great quote that says that the whole purpose of analysis is to come to a decision like weigh the pros and cons, to the, to your point, you're qualified, especially if you're like a CFP. I mean the amount of stuff that they dump into our brains during that education process, good could power a whole career of content creation. The point is I think you hit a lot of nerves there because it, they essentially, it is just being afraid of how people may judge you and think of you, let me ask this was some of this, fervor and, maybe some inspiration for money mammoth. Cause I want to talk about that next. I mean, this is, I think from a standpoint of truth versus falsehood or untruth, this what you just said in the last, 30 seconds or so is definitely something that this new consumer financial services needs to hear. 00:32:28 Brad Yeah. I think that it did influence my work on TikTok. First of all, the other thing I get so much hate social media. Let me, let me just explain this to you. Like, it's not like you're going to be sitting you sit back and be received with loving, open arms. It's like, there's a bunch of like angry 14 year olds on that app. Right. They're really gonna give it to you with your bald head and your gray beard and okay. Boomer. So just understand that's absolutely gonna happen. I've just described to you though, my mental strategy for dealing with that. I know they're all 14 year olds who, quite frankly, they might even be 50, but they have this like very wounded 14 year old inside of them. What you're going to notice is that the most criticism and hate you get on any social media platform is going to come from people who have anonymous profiles and have never posted any content. 00:33:19 Brad So understand this. They are, they're really afraid of being judged and they're hypercritical of themselves and they're probably super nasty to themselves. They probably had a parent who was nasty to them. They've internalized this like highly critical nastiness and it's very, confining for them. What they're doing is just projecting that on you. Just understand if you're getting hate from people, that's who you're getting it from. And, and frankly, as a psychologist, I care about those people. I, I feel bad for them. I worry about them. I wanna support them. Anyway, that's your mental strategy for dealing with hate because that those are the people who are doing it, content creators, like if you're actually putting your stuff out there into the world and think about this in your own life, like you're really putting yourself out there. You have a lot of compassion for people who have the courage to put stuff out there. 00:34:07 Dominique No, I would agree. I, and I think, one way that I've kind of mental hack that is when I actually started getting negative comments or posts and things of that nature, or even a thumbs down on YouTube is I realized, man, I must actually be touching a nerve if somebody is disagreeing with this, I think, I mean, from a creativity standpoint, you got to start thinking that if you're putting stuff out there and nobody's saying anything negative, then you may need to push a little harder against the establishment is kind of the way I think about it. One of the parts of what I do is I try to be polarizing not to be off putting necessarily, but just to say, I may have a different opinion or different way of thinking about something than you. Let me challenge you with that, to see how you accept me or not. 00:34:57 Dominique Right. It's a very telling sign that I use with people that I want to bring into my practice or people I want to work with. Because if you, if we disagree on something and that's going to be that off putting for you, that's probably going to be a detriment to our business relationship and we, that we don't want to go there. Right. Right. Absolutely. Let's talk about, the book just like what is the premise of it and in what can people expect when they read the money mammoth? 00:35:25 Brad Yeah. For money mammoth, it was influenced by all the stuff I've been doing on social media. In that it's the first book where I actually put in a lot of, I'd say some basic personal financial planning information. I've avoided that in the past. Partially because I wasn't a certified financial planner for the first few books. I felt like there's a real need for it. Here I've created a bit of a following and I have a bit of credibility with a certain audience. I thought, I would find ways to do it in a totally appropriate compliance way where you're not telling people what to do. This is the other thing too, like you don't dispense advice on social media, like, and if you do that, your compliance office should be very concerned about you. You know, that's not what you do. You don't, I'll get comments all the time. 00:36:10 Brad Like, should I do a Roth IRA? It's like, well, you never say yes to that. I have no idea who this person is, what their circumstances. You find ways to talk about it. The Roth IRAs can be incredible under the right circumstances. You know, I don't know your situation. I can't tell you what you should do. I mean, there's very easy ways to get around the quote advice. Not to get too stuck on that, but for money mammoth, I did include some of that information because I saw such an important need for it. And essentially money mammoth. The concept is around the metaphor of the cave person back during the days of the wooly mammoth. This is the brain that allowed us to survive and thrive in that environment. It's the same brain we have right now that trips us up in terms of our relationship with money. 00:36:51 Brad The whole book is wrapped around that metaphor, looking at your ancestors, looking at your tribe, the influence of the people around your family, your parents, and then getting into survival techniques. It's interesting, we had that whole concept before this crisis happened, but it turned out to be a, pretty apropos just in terms of how to survive a crisis and how to manage and avoid extinction if you will. We put a lot of information on, in there on how to essentially survive these crises. By the way, there's going to be another one, and these things happen. How do you manage it psychologically in terms of making the right financial decisions? 00:37:25 Dominique No, I think there's a great setup, especially for the segment of the audience that will be listened to this that are consumers or financial services, because I know that in the last several months, specifically during the pandemic, I've gotten a lot of people come to me and say, Hey, I've had the time to kind of contemplate my future. I've been putting this stuff off so long. Like what do we need to do to get everything in order now? And I think this presents an excellent opportunity for financial professionals and providers or financial services to really connect with people to your point earlier because people are wanting this information. They're not, no one is sitting around saying, I want my N to be bad. I don't want to finish well, people know they need to plan. The, the fact of the matter is not because of a lack of information, but it's usually because of the lack of guidance it's like, because there is so much information and it's like, should I do this? Or should I do that? And the inaction comes in and I think that's where, to your point, your call to action to financial professionals is to, Hey, you have this information, let's guide people to where they need to go, because we're essentially are just facilitators. 00:38:32 Dominique So, no, I love that. Any other resources you have? I know you said you may have a TikTok training course in that work. 00:38:40 Brad Yeah. We've been working on a tic-tac training course, mainly because it's this strange platform. And, I found tic-tac to be actually incredibly receptive to professional content. As a matter of fact, they reached out to me and, asked me to help create more like legitimate financial education content on TikTok, which is, which has been really incredible. I actually see them promoting the expertise from people who are actual professionals who have a knowledge base in certain areas. And that's incredible. They've recognized that there's a lot of misinformation going on. That's more than any other platform that I've ever heard of. It's, it's incredible. Like, I'm wearing a TikTok hat and they sent this to me and I'm on weekly calls with them around creating content that will be useful. As I mentioned, that's legitimate from professionals. So, that's one of the things I've been a huge fan of. 00:39:32 Brad As part of those calls, we're always talking about, best strategies on TikTok, how to get the most organic reach. Essentially yes, we're, I'm creating with a partner, a course on TikTok for professionals on how can we use this and how can we maximize it? And, we talked about this a little earlier too, and it's like, I didn't really choose tic-tac. I would say TOK chose me and what happened. You mentioned this earlier with the organic reach and I had one video, so I'm posting across all these platforms and I had one video go 6 million views. I got to tell all of a sudden you're like, wow, like that's a significant percentage of the us population for that just saw this video that I created and obviously resonated. It was obviously helpful. I think it was that type of organic reach that I just kept doubling down on the content on that platform. 00:40:20 Dominique No. Good for you, man. I'm really happy to hear that. I know you do great work. I know you are also invested in academia and the next generation, which is the reason why I think we resonate so well in overlap in our synergies with what we're trying to do with change, how people view financial advice and financial advisors, period. I no longer in one of the reasons why I created this podcast, candidly is because I'm really tired of at a dinner party. Somebody saying financial advisor in the room clearing like we do way better work than that. The people that do that work, I want them to come to the front and the people that want to get in here and do that type of work. I want them to be attracted to the industry. I'm so glad for what you're doing. We always close with, the fact of empowerment, right? So this podcast is to help, empower tomorrow's financial professionals with tools to serve their clients at the next level. 00:41:12 Dominique And so in that context, Dr. Brad, I would love any word or words of wisdom that you would want to leave with. Tomorrow's financial professionals. 00:41:22 Brad I think it would be this, that just go ahead and get in the game. Like at the end of the day, this is going to sound pretty morbid, but at the end of the day, we're all going to be stuck in a hole with dirt thrown on top of us, and nobody's going to care, I mean like a hundred years from now, and it's like, look like you're on earth here to do something like, I don't know what that is. I mean, the opportunity in the financial realm is like, this is the number one thing that stresses people out like money is the number one stressor. And, in the, in America, eight out of 10 people, stress kills people. I actually see us in this profession as being in a unique opportunity, a unique place to actually heal, like, to actually be a source of hope and healing for people that I that's, the mission that I am really trying to live out in my life. 00:42:06 Brad I see that as a financial professional, this isn't just about returns and making people more money. No, no. You are in a position to help people deal with the thing that keeps them up at night that kills them. So this is the mission I see. If you can just embody that mission, it's so much easier to create content because essentially you're saving lives. I'm not saying that I actually wrote an entire article. I have a very solid argument on how you're actually saving lives by helping people with their financial plans. That's really the way I see it. That's the mission that I'm living in my life and I really want you to live. Conversation Transcript: 00:42:41 Dominique Wow. Wow. That's great. I cannot agree more. This has been great, Dr. Brad, TikTok savant. Thank you for spending time with us on conversations for financial professionals. Thank you. My pleasure.

Hi all … it's Pete. When I was a kid, I played soccer. I was on the Colorado Springs Youth Soccer league called “Soccsy” at the time, and my team was exceptional. We dominated in every game and sported threatening black t-shirts, and the coaches were pathologically gruff parents, the whole trope-parade. That was the team. Because clearly there is no “I” in team, now I shall tell you about myself. I was in the goal keeping position and I was quite naturally terrible at it. I was in this position only because I was even more naturally terrible at every other position. The only reason we won so much is because we had a terrific defense and offense, capped by a striker by the name of Ron Cook who was so fast on his feet you'd think he was naturally imbued with wheels. If the ball ever made it passed our defensive line, the other team was guaranteed to score, with the exception of the single time I managed to stop the ball by meeting it with my face. Our guest today is Dr. Ted Klontz. Ted has been a mentor and friend to Dodge for 20 years. He's an associate professor of Practice and Financial Psychology at Creighton University, director of the Financial Psychology Institute® in addition to being a sought after international speaker, author, and researcher. Before that, though, he was a coach. That's how Dodge and Ted open their conversation today, with a discussion on Ted's approach to confrontation when it comes to coaching in sports. And that's where I want to ask you all to lean in. Right in the beginning. Because whether you're a coach yourself, or if you're a recovering victim of youth sports like me, Ted's experience is positively redemptive. The real nut of the conversation today is in Motivational Interviewing, a methodology Ted shares that can help probe the roadblocks to personal change rooted in the sort paralyzing ambivalence to change that many of us deal with at some point in our lives. We all… deal with this in our lives, right? That's not just a me thing? Bottom line, Ted's fantastic. You'll get it… listen for a few minutes and you'll discover he's the human manifestation of a warm hug. And we could all use a warm hug right about now, right? Thanks, as always, for your commitment to the work. — Pete Links & Notes Klontz Consulting Executive Circle — An exclusive financial psychology training and networking group for thought leaders and practitioners.

Dr. Brad Klontz is on the show talking about the intersection of financial psychology and financial planning which is endlessly fascinating. Dr. Klontz shares how financial trauma and money beliefs can be passed down through generations and his research on the effectiveness of financial education versus more of a visual, coaching, behavioral finance approach.

In traditional African culture, parents and children simply don’t discuss finances, and for Ornella and her mother, Didi, that was certainly the case.

After, Certified Financial Planner and Founder of the Financial Psychology Institute, Dr. Brad Klontz, discusses the study of financial psychology and the role “money scripts” and shame play in our lives.

Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive
Think about your parents. Now think about money. What kinds of ideas, images, and feelings come to mind? Do you recall any discussions about money - or were these hidden from you? Was there always enough to go around - or were you ever-conscious of its absence? What little incidents do you recall that ended up becoming defining 'money scripts' of your life? Perhaps it won't be a shock to learn that just as we learned how to raise children from our parents, we also learned how to think about money from them. And as we will raise our children the way we were raised unless we choose a different path, we will also pass on our ideas about money - unless we decide differently. Today we hear from Dr. Brad Klontz, co-author of the book Mind over Money: Overcoming the Money Disorders That Threaten Our Financial Health (https://www.amazon.com/Mind-over-Money-Overcoming-Disorders/dp/B008PHVA4U) , who helps us to think through the money scripts we want to pass on to our children - and how to adjust course if we decide we need to do this. Find more information from Dr. Klontz on his YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_GFrBVMkHRqL1_W0uu40Fg) . [accordion] [accordion-item title="Click here to read the full transcript"] Jen: 01:36 (blank) Hello and welcome to the Your Parenting Mojo podcast. Today's episode kicks off what I'm hoping is at least going to be a miniseries on issues related to money and economic privilege, although I'm still in the process of figuring out exactly where we're going with this. So, quite a long time ago now, we talked with New York Times columnist, Ron Lieber about money and we got a high level overview of some of the problems we can face when we're thinking about how to talk with children about money. So, things like from what information to give at what age and what to do when your child nags you to buy something that they want at a store. But a friend recommended that I read the book that our guest today co-wrote with his father.

Have you been hauling around baggage since childhood of your parent's perception of money? It's time to let it go and take on a more sophisticated outlook. Joining us on The Art of Passive Income is Dr. Brad Klontz—a financial psychologist who helps raise public awareness around issues related to financial health and financial psychology. He is the Founder of the Financial Psychology Institute and an Associate Professor of Practice in Financial Psychology at Creighton University Heider College of Business. He is a Managing Principal of Your Mental Wealth Advisors, a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, and a Former President of the Hawaii Psychological Association. Dr. Klontz was awarded the Innovative Practice Presidential Citation from the American Psychological Association for his application of psychological interventions to help people with money and wealth issues and his innovative practice in financial psychology for practitioners across the country. Raised on the belief that you shouldn't take on much debt, Dr. Klontz had a difficult time psychologically when he found himself deep in student debt after getting his doctorate degree. That, ultimately, put him on the path to Mental Wealth. Today, Dr. Klontz is going to talk to us about money scripts—a subconscious belief that we have about money and the four categories they fall into: Money Avoidance—having a tendency to self-sabotage when you start to have a successful business or come into money like a lottery win. Money Worship Belief—the belief that more money is going to make you happier and it's going to solve all of your problems. Money Status—is all about keeping up with the Joneses. Money Vigilance—usually associated with having more money, these people believe it's important to save for a rainy day. Dr. Klontz also helps Mark & Scott with their own money baggage and sets them on the path to Mental Wealth! TIP OF THE WEEK Mark: Learn more about Dr. Brad Klontz at YourMentalWealth.com.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5671I MILLENNIAL HANNO PROBLEMI EMOTIVI PER IL CLIMA E IL 30% DI QUESTI GRETINI (SEGUACI DI GRETA) NON FA FIGLI PER SALVARE IL PIANETA (!)Seguendo l'esempio di Greta Thunberg, i giovani di tutto il mondo sono tornati ieri a protestare per l'ambiente. Il Gruppo intergovernativo dell'Onu sul cambiamento climatico (Ipcc) ha ribadito che se non verrà fatto nulla nei prossimi 12 anni, il pianeta andrà incontro a inenarrabili disastri entro il 2050.Se nella comunità scientifica sono tutti d'accordo nell'affermare che il clima sta cambiando, diventando più caldo, non c'è unanimità sulla causa del riscaldamento. Secondo l'Ipcc e l'ambientalismo più aggressivo, di cui Greta è illustre rappresentante, la causa è l'uomo e le emissioni di CO2 di origine antropica. Che questa sia soltanto un'ipotesi, e neanche troppo confermata dai dati, lo si può intuire dagli stessi documenti dell'Ipcc, dove il modo verbale più utilizzato è il condizionale e l'avverbio più abusato è "probabilmente".L'ambientalismo catastrofista ha però un effetto certo e immediato, almeno negli Stati Uniti: deprime i giovani. A forza di srotolare lo slogan "Ci stanno rubando il futuro", secondo un rapporto del 2018 della American Psychological Association, il 72 per cento dei millennial (nati tra il 1981 e il 1996) dichiara di avere "problemi emotivi" a causa della "inevitabilità del cambiamento climatico".Matt Fellowes, a capo della United Income, piattaforma online che si occupa di gestire i risparmi pensionistici, ha dichiarato a MarketWatch che «c'è una certo fatalismo nella popolazione più giovane. C'è molto cinismo riguardo alla possibilità di mettere soldi da parte e riguardo alla possibilità di avere una pensione». In parte lo scetticismo è dato dall'esiguità dei guadagni, che impedisce di risparmiare, ma molti ritengono che «non c'è alcun futuro in vista del quale risparmiare».Brad Klontz, docente associato presso il Financial Psychology Institute, ritiene invece che molti giovani usino la scusa dei cambiamenti climatici per non risparmiare. «Il risparmio va contro la natura umana, è difficile farlo perché implica un costo vivo. Per risparmiare, inoltre, bisogna superare la paura del futuro. È ovvio che chi ha una visione depressa di un terribile futuro, non pensa a risparmiare».C'è un altro dato inquietante, rilevato nel 2018 dal New York Times. Il 30 per cento degli americani che affermano di non volere figli, lo fanno perché preoccupati di vederli nascere in un mondo apocalittico e perché non vogliono contribuire all'apocalisse generando altri esseri umani. In attesa di sapere se i cambiamenti climatici sono davvero causati dall'uomo, c'è dunque una certezza: il catastrofismo sta danneggiando seriamente il pianeta, deprimendo quelle stesse persone che potrebbero "salvarlo".Nota di BastaBugie: Pietro Piccinini nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Non credi al collasso climatico? Sarai chiamato negazionista" spiega perché il nuovo linguaggio adottato ufficialmente dal Guardian per parlare del riscaldamento globale (global warming) è più allarmante dell'allarme sul riscaldamento globale.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su Tempi il 27 maggio 2019:Se non si riesce a convincerle, come si fa a costringere le persone a vedere le cose in un certo modo? Occorre innanzitutto impadronirsi delle loro parole. Non c'è più bisogno di leggere Orwell per comprendere l'efficacia di questa regola base del potere. Basta dare un'occhiata al Guardian e alle sue nuove linee guida per descrivere i cambiamenti climatici. Qualche giorno fa, infatti, il direttore del celebre quotidiano britannico, Katharine Viner in persona, ha deciso di diramare ai suoi redattori un memo per assicurarsi che «i termini che utilizziamo» a proposito dell'ambiente «riflettano con precisione i fenomeni che descrivono».Non basta più sparare a ripetizione articoli-manifesto allarmanti e disperati (come questo proprio del Guardian) su quanti pochi anni ci restano prima di morire tutti noi disidratati o arrostiti dal caldo, salvo poi dover aggiornare continuamente il countdown verso un armageddon che non arriva mai. È necessario alzare l'asticella, o meglio la temperatura percepita intorno al tema. Occorre che il senso di emergenza climatica diventi indiscutibile, acquisito una volta per tutte, non più problematizzabile. Nemmeno i termini che si usano per designare queste cose devono lasciare adito a obiezioni o anche solo a domande. La signora Viner è convinta che ciò significhi essere più «fedeli ai fatti». E dunque, per assicurarsi di essere più «fedeli ai fatti», i giornalisti del Guardian d'ora in poi dovranno parlare non più di "global warming", ma di "global heating", mentre chi si ostina a mettere in dubbio l'allarme andrà definito non "scettico", bensì, molto più suggestivamente, "negazionista".L'OFFENSIVA LESSICALENessun obbligo, per carità, «i termini originali non sono vietati», ha concesso il direttore del Guardian nella nota per i suoi giornalisti, «ma dovete pensarci due volte prima di utilizzarli». Perché? È chiaro il perché:«L'espressione "cambiamento climatico", per esempio, suona piuttosto passiva e delicata quando quello di cui parlano gli scienziati è una catastrofe per l'umanità».Bisogna rendere atto al Guardian di avere avuto almeno l'onestà intellettuale di dichiarare apertamente le regole e i motivi della nuova strategia di persuasione. Cosa che però nulla toglie al disagio provocato da questa specie di offensiva lessicale in ogni lettore dotato di senso critico: l'idea, da parte di uno degli organi di informazione più seguiti al mondo, di far passare una certa visione delle cose semplicemente manipolando le parole usate per definirle è, appunto, vagamente orwelliana. Tanto più nell'ambito di una materia complessa e controversa come il clima.I DENIERS DEL BREAKDOWNMa quali sono i rudimenti della Neolingua meteorologica del Guardian? Eccone un assaggio, tratto dalla nota del direttore (le virgolette sostituiscono i neretti del testo originale):«Usate "climate emergency", "crisis" oppure "breakdown" invece di "climate change"Usate "global heating" invece di "global warming"Usate "wildlife" invece di "biodiversity" (quando opportuno)Usate "fish populations" invece di "fish stocks"Usate "climate science denier" oppure "climate denier" invece di "climate sceptic"».Non serve un inglese particolarmente fluent per cogliere la rilevanza della forzatura linguistica. Il fievole tepore evocato dalla parola "warming" diventa l'allarmante incandescenza del termine "heating"; un semplice, quasi banale cambiamento climatico ("change") evolve in una spaventosa emergenza, una crisi, addirittura un collasso ("breakdown"). Ma probabilmente il vero capolavoro subliminale è il nuovo marchio coniato dal Guardian per stigmatizzare i dissidenti del global heating: essi non saranno più chiamati "scettici", saranno bollati direttamente come "deniers", guarda caso lo stesso termine che gli anglosassoni dedicano ai negazionisti dell'Olocausto. Ma non basta: i nuovi negazionisti devono sapere che quel che negano non è soltanto una teoria scientifica come le altre, bensì la "scienza del clima" in quanto tale.L'HO VISTO ALLA BBCArgomenti a supporto di tutto questo? Oltre alle filippiche (politiche) del segretario dell'Onu António Guterres, il Guardian menziona le tesi di un professore del Met Office britannico (che sarà pure uno scienziato e forse perfino in ottima compagnia, ma sicuramente non è "la scienza"). Poi cita la Bbc, che nello scorso settembre ha pensato bene di raddrizzare i suoi talk show troppo equilibrati sul tema del clima spiegando che «non c'è bisogno di un "negazionista" per bilanciare un dibattito»; e infine l'immancabile Greta Thunberg, ovviamente favorevolissima all'adozione della Neolingua climatica. Tutti appigli perfetti per restare «fedeli ai fatti».DOVE NON ARRIVA GRETA, ARRIVERANNO I GIUDICILeone Grotti nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Cambiamenti climatici. Dove non arriva Greta, arriveranno i giudici" rivela che un gruppo di esperti ha teorizzato che i governi possono essere costretti a ridurre le emissioni di CO2 dai tribunali, come fatto da Olanda e Australia, nel nome dei "diritti umani", ma in realtà contro l'uomo.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su Tempi il 27 aprile 2019:Non sarà l'attivismo di Greta Thunberg a convincere i governi occidentali a «fare di più» per salvare la Terra e ridurre le emissioni di CO2 secondo la Bibbia del catastrofismo climatico. Saranno i giudici a obbligarli. È questa la teoria di un gruppo di esperti di diritto, che nel 2014 si è riunito per mettere nero su bianco una strategia per lavorare ai fianchi le democrazie di tutto il mondo e che ha cominciato a metterla in pratica. Se gli scienziati non riescono a dimostrare che i cambiamenti climatici sono causati dall'uomo, i popoli si ostinano a non percepire il riscaldamento globale come un'emergenza e di conseguenza i Parlamenti non hanno intenzione di prendere misure drastiche per contenerlo, allora il problema va portato nelle aule di tribunali. Sarà la giustizia a sopperire alle mancanze della politica, aggirando un piccolo dettaglio chiamato democrazia.OLTRE 1.300 CAUSE IN 30 ANNISecondo una ricerca della Columbia University sono circa 1.300 le cause legali connesse ai cambiamenti climatici intentate in tutto il mondo dagli anni Ottanta a oggi. La più famosa, scrive il Washington Post, ha avuto successo in Olanda, dove nel 2015 il tribunale distrettuale dell'Aia ha condannato il governo olandese a fare di più per combattere i cambiamenti climatici, cioè a ridurre le emissioni di CO2 almeno del 25 per cento entro il 2020 rispetto ai livelli del 1990. Il governo aveva approvato misure per tagliarle del 17 per cento. Nel 2018 la sentenza è stata confermata dalla Corte d'appello dell'Aia e il governo ha fatto ricorso alla Corte Suprema.

CLIFF NOTES Financial psychology is the study of our upbringing, experiences, and our beliefs and behaviors around money. The goal is improving financial health by improving financial psychology. Building wealth is first and foremost about your mindset. Our beliefs around money are real clear indicators of our success or failure. People who accept responsibility and believe they have the power to change their financial beliefs will have success. You have to take responsibility if there are gaps in your wealth mindset and seek out mentors that can help you out.

In This Episode We Discuss: Wealth creation Money Scripts and how they affect our subconscious thinking around money Characteristics of the wealthy: what they worry about, what motivates them What makes the wealthy different from the non-wealthy About Dr. Brad Klontz: Bradley T. Klontz, Psy.D., CFP® is an expert in the science and practice of financial psychology and applied behavioral finance. He is an Associate Professor of Practice at Creighton University Heider College of Business, Co-Founder of the Financial Psychology Institute™, and a Managing Principal at Your Mental Wealth Advisors™.

Ask yourself honestly, how closely have you examined your emotional relationship with money? Or is it all a bit too awkward? Financial psychology - a relatively new discipline borne out of the USA - says we should all be doing exactly that. It joins the dots between psychology and financial planning, via behavioural economics and says it can help people understand their true relationship with money. Always in debt, but have a good salary? Ever wondered why your wealthy relative is so mean? Financial psychology might have the answer. Manuela Saragosa unravels some of these riddles with two experts: Brad Klontz, founder of the Financial Psychology Institute and Meghaan Lurtz, incoming president of the Financial Therapy Association.

There are few things more detrimental to our wealth than the negative money stories we pickup in our youth that haunt us as adults. And there are few things more impactful you can do as an advisor than to understand your client’s money stories and work with them as you engage in your planning relationship. Let’s face it, we all grow up with hang-ups around money. In those formative years of our upbringing, we start to absorb the financial habits and attitudes that we hear and see modeled in our family and other social relationships. Positive habits, like an emphasis on saving and investing, can set us up well for long-term financial planning. But some negative attitudes, like a fear of market volatility, can cause us to make poor emotional decisions about our money. Over the course of a lifetime, those can be seven-figure mistakes. Dr. Brad Klontz, CFP told me that he believes the very best advisors learn what their client's hang-ups are and use that knowledge to work more effectively with their clients. And Dr. Klontz is tackling those hang-ups from two sides: first, as the managing principal of his own RIA, Your Mental Wealth Advisors; second, as the founder of the Financial Psychology Institute and as an associate professor of practice in financial psychology at Creighton University's Heider College of Business. Dr. Klontz keeps these businesses and clients separate to avoid any unethical conflicts of interest. But through his unique experience as both a researcher and a client-facing advisor, Dr. Klontz identified four broad Money Scripts that show how our experiences shape our attitudes about money.
We all get lost. It’s perfectly natural as human beings to get stuck in the forest, to get scared of the dark, to get lonely and feel our courage drift away. As our guest today so rightly shares, “we have to get used to the weirdness of being human beings.” That’s when we’re able to find the strength, the motivation, the courage to make change in our lives and approach the world with strength. I’m so excited to introduce you all to Dr. Ted Klontz. Ted is a psychologist based in Nashville and he’s here today because he’s a pioneer in the development and application of tools and techniques that help people to change their troublesome behaviors. He’s an author, having written or contributed to six books on Behavioral Finance, and is co-founder of Your Mental Wealth™ and the Financial Psychology Institute™. He’s a published researcher, speaker, trainer and facilitator, and he travels the world working with professional athletes, entertainers, high profile families, couples, and individuals, as well as the average citizen. As a participant in Ted’s workshops I can tell you first hand that his work is truly transformational, and I’m proud to introduce him to The Adult Chair audience today!

Our guest today explains it all as his profession, Dr. Brad Klontz is an award-winning Financial Psychologist and a Certified Financial Planner. He works as an associate professor of Personal Financial Planning at Kansas State University, and a partner of Occidental Asset Management, LLC. It's a fee-only investment advisory firm in Northern California. And I have known Brad for several years as I've been working in this field of money, and personal finance, and psychology of money, and when I was writing "When She Makes More", I called Brad and I said, "I'd love to interview you extensively for this book, because I think you're just a wealth of knowledge". And he said, "Hey, why don't we do a survey together?" And the survey was born, you know, months later and it was just an honor to work with him because this is his expertise. You know, really finding out what motivates people when it comes to their money? Why we do the things that we do? And it's all psychological. I mean, it's never about the money right? And so he has a lot of interesting insights and stories. And his story, his own story, is very, very interesting as well. We're gonna get to all of this during the show. Just a little bit more about Brad. He is also the co-founder of Your Mental Wealth and the Financial Psychology Institute. He's co-authored five books on the psychology of money, and he received the Innovative Practice Presidential Award from the American Psychological Association. His work has also been featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, among many other places. Several takeaways from our time with Brad: One, why we dislike rich people. You're gonna wanna hear that. Advice for couples that fail to see eye-to-eye over money, selling everything to invest in text stocks - something he did early on in his life, and of course he regrets it now. And the one investment, that he says, saved his marriage. .
