If you’ve ever wondered how to charge what your work is actually worth, this conversation hands you the playbook. Erin and Keri dig in with guest Sarah Petty on switching from “everyone” to right-fit clients, and building systems that serve deeply and profit fairly, so you stop running on volume and start running a business. Sarah is a New York Times best-selling author, highly-acclaimed speaker, author, MBA and coach who started her own boutique photography studio after working for Coca Cola for 20 years and then meeting the marketing goals of a top regional advertising agency’s clients. It was at this ad agency where she taught small businesses the value of a strong foundation and how they would grow with a strong brand. She attributes the rapid growth of her boutique photography studio, which was named one of the most profitable in the country within just five years in business by PPA, to the creation of her own strong brand.

What if money wasn’t actually a math problem but a feelings problem in disguise? Erin and Keri sit down with Carl Richards -  the “Sketch Guy” from The New York Times - for a refreshingly human conversation about the chaos of financial decision-making, why our spouses drive us nuts about money, and how to finally find the “one thing that really matters.” Carl Richards is a Certified Financial Planner™ and creator of The Sketch Guy column in The New York Times, where he spent a decade turning complex money ideas into simple Sharpie sketches. After accidentally applying for a job in “securities” (he thought it said “security guard”), Carl built a career helping people think differently about money. He’s the author of the bestselling books The Behavior Gap and The One-Page Financial Plan, host of Behavior Gap Radio, and founder of The Society of Advice. When he’s not writing or speaking, Carl’s usually skiing or biking Utah’s mountain trails with his wife, Cori, and their four kids.
