Why are you working as hard as you are? What is your purpose?

In this episode, former professional baseball player turned wealth coach Matt Morizio, founder of Reconstructing Wealth, joins Dan to explore how purpose transforms not just your financial plan, but your life. Together, they discuss how to detach from money emotionally, build value-aligned goals, and lead with meaning in both wealth and family life.

Key Talking Points:

• Why financial freedom without purpose often feels empty
• How detaching from money can reduce anxiety and build real independence
• Why your “why” is usually a who — and how to find it
• How values-based planning creates resilience through financial setbacks
• Balancing purpose across relationships, marriage, and family
• The shift from chasing success to building significance
