About this episode

An excerpt from the book The Illusion of Money: Why Chasing Money Is Stopping You From Receiving It by Kyle Cease  Episode 924: An Excerpt from The Illusion of Money: Why Chasing Money Is Stopping You From Receiving It by Kyle Cease After 20 years of achieving what he thought were his dreams of being a headlining touring comedian and actor, Kyle Cease suddenly discovered that the belief "When something happens, I will be happy" is a complete lie. Following the calling of his heart, he decided to quit his stand-up career at its peak, and now - as a transformational comedian and New York Times bestselling author of I Hope I Screw This Up - he brings his one-of-a-kind wisdom to sold-out audiences in his Evolving Out Loud Live stage show and reaches millions online.  In his latest offering, The Illusion of Money, Kyle shares why our obsession with money is costing us millions, and how we can begin to see ourselves for the perfection that we are - so that we can bring ourselves to the world in an authentic way. Learn more about Kyle and the book here: https://kylecease.com/illusion/Please Rate & Review the Show!
