The Money, Mission and Meaning Podcast on Passion Saving — Part One
Mark Michael Lewis said during his one-hour-long interview with Rob that: “I think you’ve accomplished something radical with your idea of Passion Saving. From my perspective, you’ve really created not just another ‘how to’ money book, where you show people how to invest, or a motivational book that just has people do the things they already know to do. You actually offer a whole new way of thinking about saving money that taps into our human psychology and desire. Now, I am going to have you highlight each of the key ideas in Passion Saving for my listeners so that they can have their minds blown like mine was.”
The Money, Mission and Meaning Podcast on Passion Saving — Part Two
Mark Michael Lewis said during his one-hour-long interview with Rob that: “It’s just amazing to me that in all of the years that I have been studying this, I have never heard this particular way of putting it and how much it opens up…. I was in the financial planning business…. I probably read 50 books on finance and money and saving and investing, and I can count the number of them on one hand for which I said, “well, there is something really new and important in here”, and your book is definitely in that category. I just want to thank you for that because that’s a gift to me.”

Network Abundance Radio, Interview with Rob re the Passion Saving Approach to Money Management
Text of the Introduction
“Passion Saving is saving to enhance your enjoyment of life in the years that come before you turn 65 as well as in those that come after. It’s viewing saving as a means to “buy” the true luxuries of today–plentiful free time and soul-satisfying work. It’s the financing of a different sort of retirement, one you achieve in stages as you acquire over time an increasingly enhanced ability to call the hours of the day your own.”

Norm Goldman Interview with Rob
Juicy Excerpt: If you start out by telling the people you are trying to persuade that they are dumb or that they lack willpower, you’ve lost them at the start line. That’s not the way to go. It’s your job as a money advisor to find out why people are doing things that seem dumb. That’s the job. Don’t blame the dogs if they cannot stand the smell of your dog food, you know? Try some different ingredients.
