Money Mindset, the Enneagram, and Why Your Financial Patterns Go Deeper Than Money, With Doug Lynam

Money mindset work rarely begins with a monastery in the New Mexico desert, but Doug Lynam's story does, and that is precisely what makes his insights so hard to forget.

Doug is a former Benedictine monk, Marine Corps Officer Candidate, bestselling author, and financial advisor who built his practice around a single conviction: the way you handle money has almost nothing to do with math and everything to do with the wounds you have been carrying since childhood. In this conversation, he traces his own path from a home where money was weaponized in a bitter divorce, through two decades of monastic life, through a monastery bankruptcy he helped reverse, and into the world of wealth management. Along the way, he developed the framework that now anchors his books, his TEDx talk, and his work with clients: the money monster map.

You will hear:

• How growing up in an affluent home where money was used as a tool of control shaped the origin of Doug's own money monster
• Why taking a vow of poverty led him directly into the most intense financial education of his life
• What the Enneagram actually is, and how Doug combined it with Attachment Theory to identify 18 distinct money patterns
• Why capable, intelligent people keep repeating the same financial self-sabotage, and what actually breaks the cycle
• How the pain of staying in the monastery finally outweighed the pain of leaving everything behind after 20 years
• What authentic success looks like after that many complete reinventions

How to Dream Again and Rebuild Your Life After Grief and Loss, With Chanoa Inez

Rebuilding your life after grief and upheaval is possible, and Chanoa Inez has lived the full arc of what that actually takes. She followed her instincts toward beauty and meaning through fashion, copywriting, and entrepreneurship until the kind of loss that changes everything arrived suddenly. What followed were years of pushing through without tools, a body that started carrying what her heart could not release, and an inner transformation that became the foundation of her book and her work.

Chanoa is the author of Dream On: How to Create the New Life of Your Dreams After Upheaval or Loss, and the creator of the Magnetize Your Personal Brand program, which helps business owners develop their presence from the inside out.

You will hear:

• How Chanoa built her copywriting business from genuine love of words, starting with her CEO boss as her very first client
• How sudden devastating loss quietly cost her years of health, confidence, and the capacity to imagine forward
• How changing her environment began healing her body, and the deeper realization about her own patterns that changed everything else
• Why she waited to write Dream On until she was genuinely on the other side, and what that patience made possible
• How her personal brand framework helps business owners attract from who they genuinely are

Mastering Your Mind With Madelaine Weiss: Career Pivots, Life Transitions, and Getting to GREAT

Mindset mastery is the through-line of Madelaine Weiss's entire life, from grieving teenager to Harvard-trained psychotherapist, from lab technician to executive coach, from student who nobody believed in to author helping others believe in themselves.

In this conversation, Madelaine shares what she has learned across decades of reinvention: that the inner compass exists even when we cannot hear it, that transitions are not detours but invitations, and that a great life begins with a great fit between who you truly are and the world you inhabit. Her 5-step G.R.E.A.T. framework gives that idea a path.

In this episode, you will hear:

• How losing her father at 15 set Madelaine on a path she could only understand in hindsight
• Why she walked away from lab work to pursue people, and what that pivot taught her about listening to inner signals
• The G.R.E.A.T. framework: Grounding, Recognizing, Exploring, Action, and Tolerating resistance to change
• The marble and the groove: a powerful mental image for understanding how habits form and how to change them
• Why overthinking is a brain drain, and what to do instead
• How presence and small acts of human connection can redirect the course of a life
