A Marine, a monk, and a money manager walk into a bar… actually, they’re all the same guy: Doug Lynam. After graduating top of his class from Marine Corps Officer Candidate School, Doug traded his rifle for a robe, spending twenty years as a Benedictine monk. When he realized poverty prevented him from serving the world effectively, he swapped the monastery for Wall Street, becoming a partner at a sustainability-focused B Corp investment firm. Along the way, he discovered that money problems aren’t really about dollars and cents—they’re about patterns of fear, avoidance, and self-sabotage. As an Enneagram teacher and money coach, Doug has helped thousands of people tame their “Money Monsters” by uncovering the unconscious patterns driving their financial lives. His books, From Monk to Money Manager and Taming Your Money Monster, blend humor, psychology, and hard-won wisdom to show how financial healing can be sacred work. When he’s not writing or coaching, Doug can be found hiking the high desert trails around Santa Fe, practicing yoga, or chasing the perfect breakfast burrito.
