In this episode, Carl shares a dream that left him with a simple but haunting question: Do you understand the power you’re dealing with? Reflecting on themes found across philosophy, literature, and spiritual traditions, he explores the idea that money isn’t inherently good or bad—but it is powerful, and often more powerful than we admit. Through insights inspired by voices like Austin Kleon, Carl invites you to consider how money can quietly shift from servant to master, and why awareness—not avoidance—may be the most important first step in building a healthier relationship with it.
