My series of interviews with Ted McLyman starts today. We'll be discussing his book, Discover Your Money Temperament: A Common Sense Guide to Financial Security. Ted starts with the premise that money drives most of us crazy and most of us are not very good with money. That would include me.

Ted and I will be discussing his book chapter by chapter in the coming weeks. The podcasts will be short and manageable for everyone.

This one starts with Ted's Introduction to his book. 

If you are interested in Ted's book, and I hope you are, it's available from Amazon.
