Founder of The Money Nerve, he is on a mission to reshape how we think, feel, and act about money. Please welcome the empathetic, the insightful, the transformative, my guy, Mr. Bob Wheeler. Bob, how you doing today, brother?
I'm doing so great. I so appreciate you having me.
I am honored to have you here. You know, we were just talking offline. You're out in L.A. and seeing all the tragedies and devastation that's going on out there. Just glad that you could take some time because I know it's pressing and weighing on the hearts of all the folks that are out in the Los Angeles and Southern California area, man.
Well, I appreciate that. It's been crazy, but L.A. has really come together and we will rebuild.
There we go. There we go. Bob, man, out of the gate. And I had to write this down so I didn't forget, man. Like the money nerve. Where did that come from? Like what was the money nerve? Like what was Bob going through? What was it like? I'm already helping people with this. I needed to put it pen to paper and make this happen.
Yeah, absolutely. Well, you know, so I started a tax practice. I have about a thousand clients. And what I realized was a lot of my tax meetings turned into therapy sessions. And people were breaking down, crying, telling me, you're going to be so ashamed of me. And I realized... it's a common denominator, right? Money, fear, belief systems, stories, and things we learned as kids.
And I was also doing my own personal work on myself through Core Energetics and Radical Aliveness, which is a body-based somatic therapy, really like, where do we hold stuff? And For me, the money nerve sort of came out of, you know, if you win the lottery, you're like, ah, and you feel that excitement.
And if your check bounced, you're like, oh, your credit card is declined and you really feel it. And so it hits a nerve. And so to me, money nerve was the embodiment of how we hold our finances together. Within ourselves. And a lot of people are surprised that I tie money to emotions. They're like two plus two is four. But how do you feel about that? Right.
