Ken Honda is the world-renowned "Zen Millionaire" and bestselling author of Happy Money, and in this Icons interview with Tyler Waye, he reveals that true wealth has far less to do with your bank balance than it does with your emotional state.
While most financial experts focus on Money IQ—the mechanics of investing and taxes—Ken argues that your Money EQ is the real key to freedom. He challenges us to look deeper at our financial traumas, explaining how childhood experiences often freeze our potential in a state of "Ice."
Through the practice of "Arigato," Ken teaches us how to treat money like a best friend rather than a source of constant anxiety. If you are ready to stop the cycle of scarcity and start healing your relationship with wealth, this conversation is your roadmap.
Key Takeaways:
Money IQ vs. EQ: Why your emotions dictate your net worth.
The Three States: Moving from competition to abundance.
Healing Trauma: Letting go of financial guilt and shame.
Finding Purpose: Using your past "seeds" to grow your Ikigai.
