The Funniest Financial Speaker on Earth ... Besides Paul (w/ Garrett Gunderson)

Garrett Gunderson is a NYT best-selling author and the funniest financial speaker you may or may not have heard of. The son of Utah coal miners, Garrett wants to teach others how to become financially independent and have a laugh along the way. He has written several money books, including "Disrupting Sacred Cows," "Killing Sacred Cows," and "What Would Billionaires Do?" among others. His new book Money Unmasked comes out next month.

We talk about:

  • Hair

  • Comedy

  • Good parenting

  • Growing up half-Mormon, half-Catholic

  • Frugal vs. cheap

  • “Financial dick pics”

  • Pre-2008 arrogance

  • Driving a Bentley

  • The power of laughter

  • The dirty word his grandmother loved

  • What he learned from the death of his business partners

As you’ll hear, Garrett and I have a lot in common, so this is a bit of a sprawling and sometimes “inside baseball” conversation about money and comedy. Speaking of which, his comedy special "The American Ream" will be out soon.

Learn more about Garrett on his website and order the book on Amazon here.
