Money isn’t just math; it’s emotion, identity, and the stories we carry. Until we understand those stories, it’s hard to feel truly confident about our financial choices.
In this first episode of Better Conversations: The Life and Money Podcast, host Eric Lee shares the journey that led him to build Purple Wealth and rethink what financial planning should really be. He reflects on early career experiences in a sales-driven industry that made him question whether clients were truly being served. From there, Eric introduces the idea of Purple Wealth, the intersection where your money and your life align, and explains why peace and fulfillment often matter more than accumulation. He also reframes a common tension many people face, shifting the question from “Should I save or spend?” to “What might I regret if I don’t?” This conversation sets the tone for a podcast rooted in clarity, purpose, and living well.
