Understanding Relationships and Money: The Concentric Circle Method

This concentric circle exercise is a beautiful way to help prioritize...so much of how you and I have been able to protect our confidence, how you and I have been able to shift the way we think about things and see the world, is done with intentional action.

In this episode of Financial Sobriety, hosts Matthew Grishman and Jim Gebhardt tackle the intricate dance between money and our connections with others.
