people with real emotions. That's what this podcast is all about: understanding the reasons
behind our financial decisions and uncovering the narratives that shape our financial lives.

  • This Is Not Financial Advice—It’s Something Deeper

    This Is Not Financial Advice—It’s Something Deeper
    Aug 26 2025
    In this special kickoff to Season 3 of Novem Nexus: Navigating Your Financial Narrative, host Greg Wagner takes a step back to reflect on the deeper purpose of the show. Rather than offering stock tips, quick fixes, or formulaic financial advice, Greg dives into the “why” behind our financial decisions—the stories, fears, hopes, and values that shape the way we spend, save, and invest.

    Money, as Greg explains, isn’t just math—it’s meaning. Every dollar spent or saved carries echoes of past experiences, cultural expectations, and subconscious biases. From the stress of checking a bank balance to the pressure of chasing wealth for status, financial choices are mirrors that reflect our identity, our values, and the narratives we’ve inherited. By examining these stories, we gain the power to move from automation to agency and from noise to clarity.

    Throughout the episode, Greg challenges common myths—like the idea that “more money” automatically means “more security”—and invites listeners to redefine what true financial success looks like. Instead of chasing someone else’s version of prosperity, he encourages us to ask: What does financial freedom mean for me? Is it alignment, peace of mind, generosity, or the ability to say yes and no without fear?

    This episode sets the stage for the season ahead: conversations that go beyond numbers and spreadsheets to uncover the psychology and philosophy of money. Listeners are reminded that real financial freedom begins not with a spreadsheet, but with self-knowledge.

  • Financial Literacy for the Next Generation: Teaching Kids and Teens About Money

    Financial Literacy for the Next Generation: Teaching Kids and Teens About Money
    Jul 29 2025
    In episode 19 of Season 2 of Novem Nexus: Navigating Your Financial Narrative, host Greg Wagner explores how we can raise financially literate children in a world that often teaches them everything except how money works. Greg starts by recalling the first thing he bought with his own money—a used mountain bike—and how such moments lay the groundwork for our lifelong relationship with finances. Today, kids can navigate an iPad before they can tie their shoes, yet many graduate high school without understanding interest, 401(k)s, or how to build an emergency fund—not due to inability, but because no one is teaching them.
    Greg emphasizes that financial identity is formed primarily at home. Children absorb far more from watching their parents’ day-to-day habits than from anything explicitly told to them. They notice the tension when bills are discussed, the hesitation before swiping a card, and these moments silently shape their beliefs. Instead of secrecy or shame, Greg encourages parents to explain decisions openly—like skipping dinner out to save for vacation—and to share not just successes but also mistakes. This builds trust and helps children see money as a reflection of values, not just a means to display status.
    He then turns to schools, noting a staggering disconnect: despite more than 12,000 hours in classrooms from kindergarten through high school, most students never receive meaningful personal finance education. Only a handful of states require dedicated courses, and even then, many teachers lack financial training. As a result, we graduate kids into a complex world of compound interest, student loans, and financial algorithms without equipping them to navigate it. Greg argues this isn’t just an educational gap—it’s a moral one.
    Without guidance, kids learn about money from marketers, credit card companies, and influencers, who link self-worth to luxury and consumption. Social media only amplifies this, feeding children targeted campaigns that exploit insecurities. Greg asserts that true financial literacy must go beyond knowing what a Roth IRA is; it requires understanding personal values, questioning societal scripts, and resisting impulsive spending driven by clever algorithms.
    Ultimately, Greg argues that our goal isn’t to raise mini CFOs, but thoughtful humans who can delay gratification, navigate financial decisions with clarity, and view money as stewardship. This literacy starts around the dinner table and in daily choices—modeling patience, restraint, and honesty, rather than outsourcing these lessons to apps, schools, or influencers.
