Most people are surprised to hear that Exercise and nutrition are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to health and making lasting Lifestyle changes.

Psychology and understanding our brains and how to make them work *for* us is really at the root of reaching any goal that’s important to you.

This includes financial goals, which aren’t just math problems, but boil down to psychology, as well.

Today I’m joined by Chad Hufford, a financial expert with a passion for fitness and we’re talking about all the many similarities between physical health and financial health.

Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, Chad grew up in the financial industry, but also developed a strong background in athletics, nutrition and performance psychology. Chad brings a Coaching mindset and the heart of a teacher to financial planning and Investing as he strives to both empower and educate his audience to not only become better investors, but to live more intentionally and create an abundant life.

Chad is Dave Ramsey’s SmartVestor Pro and owns a boutique financial planning firm, Veritas Wealth Management, that manages $500 million dollars and serves several hundred families across the US. In addition to Finance, he regularly teaches and speaks on fitness and faith, seeing these as all important aspects of a purposeful and abundant life.
