Welcome to the Modern Husbands podcast, where Dr. Bruce Ross, Christian Sherrill, and Brian Page host national experts who share winning ideas for managing money and the home as a team.

Today we welcome Carl Richards for the first of a two-part series. Carl is a Certified Financial Planner™ and bestselling author known for turning complex money ideas into simple, powerful insights. He created The Sketch Guy column for The New York Times, where for a decade he used nothing but cardstock and a Sharpie to help readers rethink their relationship with money. 

Carl built and sold a successful investment firm and has spoken at financial events around the world. His books, including The Behavior Gap, The One-Page Financial Plan, and his latest, Your Money: Reimagining Wealth in 101 Simple Sketches, have reached a global audience and been translated into multiple languages. Through Behavior Gap Radio and his newest project 50 Fires, he continues to explore how money intersects with meaning, relationships, and a well-lived life. Enjoy the show!
