One Capital Managing Director and Partner Brad Barrett talked to Mike Cavaggioni on the Average Joe Finances podcast: Make Your Money Matter with Brad Barrett (episode 190).

In this interview, Brad talked about his background and his work with first responders, and he also shared:

• The need for better financial education
• What people often get wrong about money
• How to make your money matter

“Money, to me, is simply a tool to buy freedom,” Brad said. “Don’t attach your worth to it, don’t attach your identity to it—that’s where you get into problems.”

Plus, Brad shared one of his favorite books about money, The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel.
