About this episode

Paul Fenner discusses the importance of taking time to reflect and the impact of constant busyness on financial and personal decisions.

Work with Paul: Schedule a 30-minute conversation When is the last time you had an uninterrupted thought? Not about logistics. Not about money. About your actual life and whether the direction you're running is still the direction you chose? Today, I want to explore why the most productive thinking rarely happens when we're at full speed, and what that costs us as parents and as people trying to make good financial decisions. I share a conversation with a family who named something most busy families feel but rarely say out loud, and reflects on what a pandemic parking lot moment taught me and Theresa about the pace they'd built into their lives. The action step is simple: ten minutes of intentional nothing this week. One question to sit with. No journaling required. Connect with Paul If you're a working parent juggling a senior-level career and a growing family, and are tired of coordinating four different advisors to run your financial life, I do complimentary 30-minute conversations.
