On this episode of CFO at Home, Vince's guest is relationship coach Brett Jones. Brett and Vince discuss relationship skills. and how communication breakdowns—especially around money—can drive conflict and even divorce. Brett shares the story of how his first marriage collapsed, which led him into 30 years of relationship coaching. We also discuss why "love is not enough," how men and women often communicate differently, and how money conversations can trigger safety and security concerns, leading men to shut down when they hear criticism.
