Session #1: Psychology of Money Masterclass (1.5 hours remotely) - with 

Exploring our relationships with other people and to ourselves is largely accepted as emotionally intelligent practice, but what about our relationship with money? Whatever our background, we are socially and culturally conditioned to attach complex biases to our financial lives and assumptions about those who have a lot of money and those who don’t.

Whether you’re struggling to get by, saving for a sustainable future, leading a purposeful organisation or investing through an impact portfolio, understanding your psychological relationship to money is critical.  The psychology of money is complex. This masterclass will explore the concept of money as an energy source and the money disorders we each bring to the table (whether we admit it out loud or not).  Money disorders are persistent patterns of self-limiting financial behaviour.  To free ourselves from them, we need to identify them and revise their power over us.  Join us to explore a more productive way to think about your relationship with money and its purpose.

Danny is co-founder (with his wife Berry) of and Executive Chair of Small Giants, co-founder and Chair of the Beyond Family Office as well as the Impact Investment Group.  He has mentored dozens of individuals and families through their impact investing journey and through his leadership of various impact funds and advisories, overseen over $5 billion towards impact directly, and supported well over $20b to move into the sector through his support of others’ journeys, particularly through the Journey to Impact Program.  Danny has been passionate about building the impact ecosystem by creating (with the Small Giants team) over a dozen for profit and non-profit organisations including Giant Leap Venture Fund, B Labs Australia and New Zealand, The Sociable Weaver, The Impact Club, The Community Well, The School of Life Australia and Beyond Creative.

Join us for an inspiring fireside chat with Thomas Knudsen and his wife Kathlyn as they open up about their personal journeys—what sparked their decision to put capital to work for the good of society and the planet, and how that path helped them discover deeper purpose in both life and wealth. Hear their candid stories, gain fresh perspectives, and take part in a lively Q&A to uncover your own insights and inspirations.
