I'm Dan Harris. Hey, hey, how we doing everybody?

Today I'm talking to a professor from the Wharton School of Business about how to increase your financial security by rewiring your mindset and also your decision-making processes

when it comes to money. Dr. Wendy De La Rosa is an assistant professor at the Wharton School

at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research has been published in the journal for consumer

research and the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Her TED talks have been

viewed over seven million times, and she serves on the board of both Code for America and Propel.

Long way of saying she's an impressive person. In this conversation, we talk about psychological and

technological tools for taking control of your finances, how to get a handle on small, frequent

purchases, the relationship between your environment and your finances, financial shame,

how your parents' relationship with money impacts you as a grown-up, something called the

G.I. Joe fallacy, which I'll let her explain, 10 financial questions to ask your romantic

partner, and how to

eliminate the taboo of financial conversations. This is part one of a two-part series we're running

this week on money. Coming up on Wednesday, I'm going to operationalize Wendy's advice by holding a

public conversation with two of my close friends,

the great meditation teachers, Seminay Salasi and Jeff Warren, about our respective money neuroses.

But today, of course, it's Wendy De La Rosa, and she's coming up right after this.

Real quick, before we get into the show, turbulent times out there, if you're following the news.

So, we're going to be launching a special series of live sessions on Dan Harris.com daily at 3 p.m.
