Matt Morizio went from chasing a childhood dream in pro baseball to building a wealth management firm that feels more like a calling than a career. In this episode, he and Brandon unpack why so many high performers get trapped by identity—“I am what I do”—and how that same trap shows up in our relationship with money. You’ll hear practical ways to spot the money beliefs you caught growing up, rewrite them, and start using money as a tool instead of a burden.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

• Build consistency under pressure the same way elite athletes perform when the game gets real

• Detach your identity from your job title so career transitions don’t wreck your confidence

• Recognize money shame patterns and stop feeling “behind” no matter what’s in your account

• Replace fear-based money habits by finding the childhood stories that wired your mindset

• Shift from “money stress” to money clarity by learning the language of money through simple frameworks

• Use a “job for every dollar” system so your income starts working for you immediately

• Avoid lifestyle whiplash when income spikes (athletes, entrepreneurs, commission earners)

• Teach your kids money early with simple lessons that actually stick (yes—even with chocolate chips)

🔑 Key Topics Covered:
✅ Identity beyond your profession
✅ Consistency vs. talent
✅ Athlete money mistakes
✅ Money shame and avoidance
