BTB117: Killing Sacred Cows | Garrett Gunderson on Money, Myths, and Mindsets

Before the Bestseller



In this episode, we sit down with Garrett Gunderson to explore the myths and misconceptions that often hold people back when it comes to money and financial freedom. Garrett, a financial expert and entrepreneur who became a multimillionaire by the age of twenty-six, is the author of Killing Sacred Cows: Overcoming the Financial Myths That Are Destroying Your Prosperity and co-author of Curriculum for Wealth. As the founder of Wealth Factory, Garrett has made it his mission to help people rethink conventional financial advice and take a more personalized approach to building sustainable wealth. 

Garrett opens up about his personal journey, from his frugal beginnings in a coal-mining family to his evolution in understanding what truly drives financial success. He reflects on his childhood, where a scarcity mindset and frugality influenced his financial beliefs, and how over time, he shifted to a more abundant and productive mindset. Garrett also shares the inspiration behind his book, explaining how the loss of his business partner motivated him to complete the project as a lasting legacy. 

Killing Sacred Cows challenges nine common financial myths, such as the scarcity mindset and misconceptions about debt, insurance, and financial independence. Throughout the conversation, Garrett highlights the importance of focusing on smart strategies for building wealth, including managing cash flow, making educated investment choices, and addressing the mental blocks that often prevent people from taking action. He also emphasizes the need to rethink financial beliefs and adopt smarter, more abundant financial strategies. 

The episode delves into the practical steps Garrett believes are crucial for achieving financial freedom, as well as the psychological factors that shape our financial decisions. Garrett introduces the idea of the Cash Cabin, where individuals can confront their money stories and resolve limiting beliefs, offering a unique approach that blends financial education with personal development. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that could change the way you think about money and set you on a path to unlocking greater financial possibilities.
