For many couples, talking about money is the third rail—you just don’t go there, or if you do, you get shocked. Our guest in this episode, Carl Richards, talks about why it’s so hard for couples to talk about money, and why money isn’t just about money. Carl’s “Sketch Guy” column ran in the New York Times for a decade.

Our conversation delved into our personal histories with money and Relationships. We had a delightful time talking with Carl, and hope you’ll enjoy the conversation too!
