Man, here we are at issue #2...what do we wanna talk about?

I'm just kidding. I said last time that I wanted to make these useful to you and use your time well, so I'm going to keep to that.

You may ask, what is this digest going to be about? Let me tell you. Every week you'll get:

• An exclusive article. I'll release something here I don't release anywhere else.

• A link to my podcast episode for the week.

• Breaking news as it relates to the Delve into Money universe. I'm going to tell y'all everything first!

• Miscellaneous things I find interesting. This could be a meme, an article I enjoyed, or a Youtube video.

Money & Marriage Discussion Guide

Today is the start of something big that I'm really excited about! One of the things I teased when it came to this digest was the Money & Marriage Discussion Guide.

In Episodes 11 & 12 of the podcast, I talked with my wife Samantha about a 5-part framework for having better money conversations with your spouse.

Part one of the framework is getting to better understand your spouse's money background.

Too often we jump right into the numbers or what the other did wrong without stepping back to understand each other's context.

When you understand the context someone is coming from, you can do a few things. You can:

1. Frame the conversation in a way most helpful to them

2. Help them process through issues that come up

3. Be more aware of what their triggers might be

As a couple, we've always tried to have healthy conversations, but it was not until we sat down and had a broader discussion, away from the numbers, that we truly began to understand each other.

It was at that point that things finally started to click for us.

So, because of that, we wanted to formalize some of this process and provide it to you. Click below to receive the FREE Money & Marriage Guide.

But wait, there is more.

This is so fun, leading you on like this...

On October 27th, just 4 short weeks away, we'll be releasing the Money & Marriage Complete Guide. This will be a killer resource that includes:

• A breakdown of our 5-part framework

• Guided questions to help you have better money conversations

If this sounds awesome, just keep checking your email. We'll be sending a pre-order link with a discount code soon!

Level up your morning routine by...

This week's podcast episode is framed around the book The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod.

This is a book I read years ago and was reintroduced to by Greg Junge. Greg is an Arizona-based realtor and real estate investor who wrote a bestseller book where he talked about The Miracle Morning and how it changed his life.

I'd encourage you to give it a listen because I think improving your morning routine can change your life. Yes, seriously... change. your. life.

I also wrote a thread on Twitter sharing simple ways you can improve your morning routine.

Question for the day

So we're going to end with this question:

What does your morning routine look like? What do you do that is unique?

Let me hear them!
