EP: 021 "Start Thinking Rich" w/ Adrian Brambila and Dr. Brad Klontz
In this episode, I welcome Adrian Brambila and Dr. Brad Klontz to discuss their new book, "Start Thinking Rich: 21 Harsh Truths to Take You from Broke to Rich" and to talk about the mindset that may be keeping you poor.
This was a really cool interview for me personally, as I have studied and applied Dr. Klontz's work for many years. I've only become familiar with Adrian recently, when I heard he was due to release a book with Dr. Klontz. His background was really interesting and I was eager to learn how this team came together and the shared lessons they hoped to teach us.
Dr. Brad Klontz is a clinical psychologist and Certified Financial Planner, and Adrian is a former professional dancer, now entrepreneur, YouTuber, and self-made millionaire. They discuss how they met and why this book was important for them to write. From Dr. Klontz's beginnings, growing up in a low-income household, and how his early experiences with financial struggles within his family influenced his career in financial psychology, to Adrian's rise to success, and learning to navigate letting things go and feeling he deserved it.
We discuss the significance of mindset in achieving financial success and the importance of questioning and often challenging entrenched beliefs about money. We also explore essential mindset shifts for financial wellness. Adrian highlights that true wealth is about freedom of time and choice rather than material possessions. Dr. Klontz discusses the importance of intermittent retirements and the perils of viewing retirement solely as an end goal and working your life away to get there. We also discuss the value of mentorship and continual learning in financial growth.

- The psychology of money and its impact on financial decisions
