In this episode, Carl reflects on the stories we instantly tell about money—especially when it comes to visible signs of consumption, like homes and cars. A passing glance at someone’s lifestyle can trigger assumptions about success, character, or values, even though we rarely know the real story behind the purchase. Carl turns the lens on himself, noticing how quickly narrative creeps in, and asks a deeper question: What stories does our own spending tell, and how often are we projecting incomplete stories onto others? It’s a thoughtful exploration of money, identity, and the invisible narratives we carry around every day.
