The IRS audited us because they couldn't believe we were giving away 100% of our company's earnings. That's what happens when you play money games so differently that even the government thinks you're up to something. Money moves that break the mold aren't just random acts of spending or earning. They're experiments in rewriting the rules of what's possible with money.
Most people think about money through the lens of safety, security, and following conventional wisdom. But what if money could be your favorite game to play? I've spent years studying money not through textbooks or traditional financial advice, but through real-world experiments that push boundaries, and I’m here to tell you all about it this week.
Tune in this week to hear the 11 money moves that have made me an authority on fun money! From eliminating child support to prove I could double my revenue on my own, to creating a 12-week paid maternity leave without working a single hour, each move taught me something new about how money really works when you stop following everyone else's playbook.
