About this listen

 In this special kickoff to Season 3 of Novem Nexus: Navigating Your Financial Narrative, host Greg Wagner takes a step back to reflect on the deeper purpose of the show. Rather than offering stock tips, quick fixes, or formulaic financial advice, Greg dives into the “why” behind our financial decisions—the stories, fears, hopes, and values that shape the way we spend, save, and invest.

Money, as Greg explains, isn’t just math—it’s meaning. Every dollar spent or saved carries echoes of past experiences, cultural expectations, and subconscious biases. From the stress of checking a bank balance to the pressure of chasing wealth for status, financial choices are mirrors that reflect our identity, our values, and the narratives we’ve inherited. By examining these stories, we gain the power to move from automation to agency and from noise to clarity.

Throughout the episode, Greg challenges common myths—like the idea that “more money” automatically means “more security”—and invites listeners to redefine what true financial success looks like. Instead of chasing someone else’s version of prosperity, he encourages us to ask: What does financial freedom mean for me? Is it alignment, peace of mind, generosity, or the ability to say yes and no without fear?

This episode sets the stage for the season ahead: conversations that go beyond numbers and spreadsheets to uncover the psychology and philosophy of money. Listeners are reminded that real financial freedom begins not with a spreadsheet, but with self-knowledge.
