Most wealth advisors will teach you how to budget, invest, and save. Doug Lynam teaches you why you self-sabotage every time you try.

After 20 years as a Benedictine monk, Doug had an epiphany: being broke doesn't help anyone. He became a financial advisor, built a practice managing $250M in assets, and discovered what traditional finance ignores—your money problems aren't about math. They're about the invisible fears, wounds, and personality patterns driving every financial decision you make.

Doug's path from Marine discipline to monastic wisdom to Wall Street success gave him a framework nobody else has. Using the Enneagram, he reveals the nine distinct "money monsters" that sabotage wealth—and shows people how to turn their deepest financial wounds into their greatest advantages.

His TEDx talk has reached 370K+ viewers. He's appeared on 100+ podcasts reaching millions. He's been featured in The New York Times, CNBC, Entrepreneur, and The Street. He's guided clients from Main Street to Hollywood and worked with businesses and faith communities across the county.

Doug is the author of two books: From Monk to Money Manager: A Former Monk's Financial Guide To Becoming a Little Bit Wealthy—And Why That's Okay and Taming Your Money Monster: 9 Paths To Money Mastery With The Enneagram.

Whether speaking to corporate leaders, financial professionals, or faith communities, Doug delivers the same message: financial success and spiritual fulfillment aren't mutually exclusive. They're two sides of the same coin.
