Join hosts Chris Picciurro, CPA, and John Tripolsky as they welcome transformational coach Curtis McCullom to explore the powerful connection between mindset and money. Discover how childhood programming shapes your financial decisions and learn to overcome the invisible barriers holding you back.

What You'll Learn:
• Why 95% of your behavior is driven by subconscious programming from ages 0-5
• How limiting beliefs about money sabotage your financial success
• The difference between conscious goals and subconscious resistance
• Why "success is hard" programming keeps you stuck
• How to identify and eliminate financial blind spots

Key Insights:
Curtis shares his breakthrough, discovering that a belief formed at age 2 ("success is hard and difficult") was sabotaging his million-dollar financial services career. Learn how beliefs like "money don't grow on trees" or "tax planning is only for rich people" create invisible barriers to wealth building.

Guest Spotlight:
Curtis McCullom brings 40+ years of financial services experience plus expertise in transformational coaching. He specializes in helping entrepreneurs and high achievers eliminate childhood programming that limits their success.

Practical Takeaways:
• Question limiting beliefs: "Is this true for everyone?"
• Guard your mindset daily - it's not a one-and-done fix
