223: Give Every Dollar a Job: Creating Meaning & Purpose for Your Money
Episode Description
What becomes possible when you’re intentional with your money?
In this co-hosted episode, Linzy & Diane dive into a conversation about money that’s both philosophical and practical. Together, they explore the idea that money is essentially an inert tool — it doesn’t have meaning until we determine its purpose and give it a job.
Linzy and Diane talk about practical ways to give your dollars a clear function, and they reflect on what they’ve seen shift and change in their own lives as they’ve shown up in their businesses, made investments, and created meaning with their money.
When you’re intentional with your money, your dollars can become skills, systems, freedom, growth, and the building blocks for the business and life you want to create.
