In this episode, I speak with John Crane, a Seasoned Financial Advisor with over two decades of experience. John has a unique approach to personal finance, especially when it comes to budgeting. He shares his journey from struggling with traditional budgeting methods to developing the "One Number Budget" system, which simplifies the process and makes it more manageable for his clients. We dive into his book, published in 2022, where he outlines this innovative approach. John’s passion for making a difference in people's lives is evident, and he aims to be the go-to person for his clients when they face significant financial decisions.
John also opens up about his personal experiences, from his early entrepreneurial endeavors as a teenager to his career shift from corporate America to financial advising. He emphasizes the importance of cash flow management and the psychological aspects of financial decisions. We discuss the challenges of traditional budgeting, the benefits of his one number budget, and the importance of being over-prepared for the future. John’s insights are practical and grounded, making this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to simplify their financial planning and achieve greater financial stability. Join us for an engaging conversation that blends personal stories with valuable financial wisdom.
