Today’s podcast episode is the fourth in the “A Well-Lived Life” series. As this series unfolds, you learn how culture, race, generation, and gender influence our guest’s definitions. And often the accumulation of wealth is secondary to the pursuit of one’s life purpose. 

My guest is Nate Astle, founder of Relational Money. We first met when I presented a webinar on negotiations for the Financial Therapy Association and Nate was my host. For this interview, we switched roles and I got to ask him about his life purpose and passion for empowering individuals and couples to live more peacefully in relation to their finances.
