Conscious Wealth: Money, Investing, and a Financial Awakening for the Person Who Has it All by Brandon Hatton
This book is for those who wake up one day and realize they have everything they always wanted and yet discover that it is not enough. Those with unlimited financial means are, ironically, often still operating from a place of scarcity. They are unaware of the negative stories they have built up around money and are unable to differentiate between being rich (having a lot of money) and being wealthy (having money but also a positive connection with self, with others, and with the bigger world).
Falling back on the lessons learned during his own journey, Brandon provides a clearly illustrated mindset around money and a framework around investments, both of which allow readers to focus on what matters most during their wealth creation journey.
Conscious Wealth helps readers achieve not only family communication and healthy personal interactions with money but also a means to greater impact the world through investments and a Conscious Wealth philosophy.

Guest Info

Michael Crafton, CEO - Nelbud Services

Michael Crafton is an entrepreneur, CEO, and industry disruptor. He started his company on December 1st, 2005 with $800 and an old pickup truck. Now, it's the largest self-performing Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning company in the country.
Michael’s career reflects his passion for driving his “Employees First, Customers Second” belief growing and mentoring people who in turn provide outstanding service to their customers. Exceeding expectations is the hallmark upon which he builds his people and business strategies.
His mission to change the way people interact with a service provider by utilizing ground-breaking technology has resulted in growing from an old pickup truck to 20 regional offices, over 30,000 customers, and a 20 State coverage area. He has successfully scaled and pivoted his business through the economic downturn of 2008 and more recently the Pandemic of 2020. From under $400K in revenue in 2006, Nelbud is approaching $30M in 2021. Nelbud is a seven-time winner of the Distinguished Top Workplace award in Indiana and has won many other awards, including: Indiana Company to Watch, Blue Chip Business Award, Top Service Company in Indiana, Spotlight Award, and Michael has been named as a 40 Under 40 Award winner.
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Nelbud lost 70% of all revenue in a single day in March 2020 due to the lockdown. In keeping true to their "Employee First" mission, Michael flipped the company within 72 hours from commercial kitchen cleaning to disinfection. As a result, Nelbud was able to grow revenue in 2020 - more than in 2019 despite the pandemic challenges.
Michael earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from Indiana University. He has completed events such as Sealfit KOKORO, “Running of with the Bulls” in Pamplona, Spain, backpacked Europe, attended many world championship sporting events including the Soccer and Rugby World Cup, bungee jumped, sky dived, with more to come.
