How to buy time

You can't buy more hours in the day. But you might be able to buy more moments that matter. Financial planner Derek Hagen and listening bar founder Jessica Roberts join host Dr Tom Mathar to explore a surprisingly simple idea: buying time.

In the first episode of season four, we look at why all years aren’t created equal, how money can help us create more experiences that matter, and why slowing down might be one of the smartest investments we ever make.
