Jesse Mulligan | More Than Money

Shared Lunch

Jesse Mulligan doesn’t believe in hoarding cash for the future—his philosophy is to “eat the marshmallow”, and that wealth is the ability to do the things you want to do, with the people you care about, right now.

Jesse talks about the big transition to fatherhood, going from a bachelor spending money “on food and electric guitar” to a dad of 4. He opens up about combining finances with his wife as they were about to have their first kid—and the humbling feeling of asking permission before spending.

"It kind of signals that you're all in. In an age of individualism, it's a nice thing to say from now on we're a family unit"

More Than Money is a limited podcast series exploring the wealth choices that change us. In these conversations, Kiwi legends give us a revealing look at one important money decision that helped determine where they are today: the strokes of genius, the near-misses, and the tough calls.
