In this episode of All Can No Can’t, host Jeff Luther sits down with John Hankins—a licensed social worker and certified financial therapist—who completely reinvented himself at the age of 71. After decades in tech and nonprofit leadership, a surprise lymphoma diagnosis forced John to reimagine his legacy. The result? A meaningful second act in financial therapy, helping others heal their emotional relationship with money.

We dig into what financial therapy really is, why money anxiety is more emotional than logical, and how shame, scarcity, and outdated money beliefs are silently running the show for most people. John shares his inspiring journey from inner-city social work to IT consulting to becoming one of the most emotionally intelligent guides in the world of financial behavior.

If you're curious about how to break free from dysfunctional money patterns, feel stuck in your career path, or wonder if it's ever “too late” to start over—this episode is your wake-up call.

Reinventing Yourself at 71: How Financial Therapy Heals Your Money Mindset with John Hankins isn’t just an interview—it’s proof that every obstacle can be your opportunity.
