A post about a father, a baseball tryout, and a bad summer went viral this spring — and buried in it is a framework that applies just as much to money as it does to relationships. Today, Steve’s borrowing it. Bloom’s recap of the concept is simple: stand tall, bend down, lift, repeat. That’s not a bad description of what a good financial relationship should feel like either. If your current one isn’t doing both, it might be worth asking why.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
🧭 Financial Direction: Knowing where you are, where you want to go, and how to connect the two
📚 Education vs. Action: Why learning more doesn’t automatically mean making progress
⚠️ High Pressure: How big expectations without a clear plan can create anxiety
🤝 Best Quadrant: Why high expectations and high support are worth building toward
✅ Accountability: The value of having someone willing to challenge and support you
🔄 Ongoing Planning: Why financial plans need to change as life changes
