Dr. Daniel Crosby, psychologist, author, and Chief Behavioral Officer at Orion Financial joins Ed to explore the deeper meaning behind how we earn, spend, save, and relate to wealth. Drawing from his new book The Soul of Wealth, Daniel shares stories from his personal life, his faith background, and his years studying human behavior to reveal why our relationship with money is far more emotional than logical. Together, he and Ed unpack how childhood narratives shape our financial beliefs, why couples collide over money even when the numbers are fine, and how personal growth can dramatically increase both life satisfaction and earning potential. This episode goes beyond budgets and bank accounts to ask the profound questions of what wealth is for and how it can support a more meaningful life. Prepare for an honest, funny, and deeply human conversation about money, identity, and purpose.

Key Takeaways:

• How do childhood experiences and family beliefs shape the way we relate to money as adults?

• Why do couples clash over financial decisions even when they share the same goals?

• What role does personal growth and emotional awareness play in building true, sustainable wealth?
