What if the biggest threat to your wealth isn’t the market, but your mindset?
In this powerful conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Bill Cates to explore the invisible forces shaping our financial lives. From childhood money memories and scarcity conditioning to compounding, risk, and investing, they unpack the psychology behind how we earn, save, and grow wealth.
Bill shares how tying self-worth to net worth influenced his decisions, why saving and investing are not the same, and how limiting beliefs quietly rob people of lasting wealth, themes explored in his book The Hidden Heist. If you’ve ever feared not having enough or wondered why money still feels emotional, this episode will shift how you see your financial story. Because wealth isn’t just about strategy. It’s about the story you believe.
