What if the real challenge with money isn’t taxes, investments, or even income—but the meaning we attach to wealth itself?

In this episode of the Make Life Less Taxing Podcast, Daniel Hanzelka sits down with Pete Foldes, founder of Pluton Life and creator of the Neurofinancial Alignment framework. Pete’s journey is anything but traditional. From delivering newspapers at age ten, to working more than sixty different jobs, to eventually becoming a financial fiduciary and breakthrough coach, his path has been shaped by life experiences that reshaped how he views money, purpose, and fulfillment.

Pete shares how early family experiences around inheritance, observing wealthy clients who lacked wellbeing, and witnessing the limitations of traditional financial advice led him to develop a new philosophy around wealth. Instead of treating money as a purely transactional tool, Pete helps people align their finances with their values, health, relationships, and long-term legacy.

You’ll hear a thoughtful conversation about purpose, stewardship, mindset, and why understanding yourself may be the most important financial decision you ever make.

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• Why many high earners still feel unfulfilled despite financial success
• The emotional factors—guilt, shame, and blame—that quietly shape financial behavior
• What “Neurofinancial Alignment” means and why values matter in wealth planning
• The hidden risks of traditional financial advice and deferred tax strategies
• Why structure, stewardship, and purpose are essential for lasting legacy
