Ed’s Edge – Season 5, Episode 47

Ed and James are joined by real estate mogul, Entrepreneur & best-selling author, Krisstina Wise. Ed, James, and Krisstina discuss the importance of having a healthy mindset when it comes to your finances, as well as understanding when enough is truly enough.

Krisstina shares how a near-death experience forever changed her view of money and inspired her to share her experiences & knowledge with other entrepreneurs. She also explains how others can shift their money mindset to create a more positive life overall, rather than just financially, primarily through the concept of knowing your numbers. All of your numbers.
