Chris Budd…It’s not about the money; it’s about finding what truly makes you happy

In this episode I chat to Chris Budd who shares his journey of personal discovery, selling his financial planning business to its employees and how a random tweet led him to found the Initiative for Financial Wellbeing (IFW). Chris is a man of many talents; business founder, author, speaker, podcaster, coach, musician and force behind the IFW. He generously shares the events that shaped his life, made him ‘moderately successful’ and led him to understand that life is not about accumulating money, it’s about finding what truly makes you happy and using money, which is often less than we think, to support that end. Chris is on a mission to equip more financial advisers, planners and coaches to support their clients to find their true meaning and happiness. Finally, Chris shares his best money purchase for around £30 and his two Money Pearls of Wisdom. Sit back, grab yourself an espresso (or drink of your choice!) and enjoy the conversation. • Chris can be found on LinkedIn here- https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-budd-80b75413/ • Find out more about the Initiative for Financial Wellbeing here - https://initiativeforfinancialwellbeing.org.uk/ • Buy Chris’ book ‘The Financial Wellbeing Book’ here - https://shop.pennybrohn.org.uk/products/the-financial-wellbeing-book with all proceeds going to the Penny Brohn UK Cancer charity • You can find The Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu here - https://uk.bookshop.org/books/the-book-of-joy-the-sunday-times-bestseller/9781786330444 If you would like to talk about your money matters do feel free to contact me on: • Twitter - twitter.com/RuthSturkey/ • LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/ruthsturkey/
