This week on the Inside Job Podcast we talk about money! By any name — cold hard cash, Benjamins, cabbage, moolah, clams, etc. — it's one of our favorite topics as humans, and yet it often seems so taboo to admit it. Why is that?

Maybe the better question is: given how important money is, how do we talk about it in ways that are meaningful and aligned with our values?

During our discussion we acknowledge that we are in a relationship with money – whether we like it or not – and like any relationship it needs to be explored, evaluated, and discussed on a regular basis. We notice that money shows up in our values (like financial security or appreciation), our needs (like acknowledgment or freedom) and even in our joys (like adventure or travel). It literally can be a means to an end, and by opening up the conversation about the role we perceive money plays in our lives we can better understand ourselves, our beliefs, our desires, and our biases.

Simply put, the work of understanding our relationship with money is at the core of the Inside Job of understanding ourselves.

During the conversation we also bring up the 80s glam rock band BulletBoys, pick on Alan Watts, quote the movie "Almost Famous", and summarize about a third of country music. All in less than 30 minutes.
