Ken Honda is known as the "Happy Money Guy," "Money Healer," and the "Zen Millionaire." His journey into financial wisdom began nearly 20 years ago when he witnessed a mother and daughter cut their playdate short because of work. This moment inspired him to start writing about the importance of financial freedom, with a focus on helping people ease their pain, frustration, and stress around money. Ken believes that, regardless of one’s circumstances, the distance to happiness is the same for everyone, and through introspection and gratitude, we can break free from financial struggles. He is passionate about healing money trauma and helping people find peace with their finances while living a life of generosity and abundance.

In this episode, Mathew and Ken discuss how to heal money wounds and shift from a scarcity mindset to a space of abundance without being reckless. Ken explains the root causes of financial stress, sharing his insights on why most money issues stem from either making too little or spending too much. They explore how money wounds are passed down through generations and the importance of healing these wounds before passing them on to our children. Ken also addresses the dangers of a scarcity mindset, offering practical advice on how to break free from it while maintaining balance. He emphasizes the power of generosity, encouraging listeners to understand that what we give often comes back to us in multiple ways. Additionally, Ken provides tailored money advice for people at different stages of life, from their teens to their 50s, and shares thought-provoking questions to help individuals uncover their unique gifts and talents.
