  • If you have kids or been around kids, you might have noticed that they’re not the best at solving their own problems. It’s a continual process of teaching them to advocate for themselves and that there’s more to it than just stating their problem. So for instance “I’m thirsty” might be a constant refrain and while it’s great to recognize the issue at hand, the goal is to turn that into a request: “Can I have some orange juice?” OK, now we’re getting somewhere! Now she’s taken a proactive step in solving her own problem. This is an important lesson to learn because as we’ll discuss today it’s basically up to us to resolve our own financial conflicts once we’re launched into the real world. We need to be our own advocates in every area of life, but certainly when it comes to our money! Joining us today is Matt Schulz who is the chief credit analyst at LendingTree, and he is also the author of the new book, “Ask Questions, Save Money, Make More” which is essentially a money manual that teaches readers the important questions we need to ask. So whether you naturally speak up for yourself, or would rather disappear back into the bushes, be sure and listen to this episode centering around individual empowerment.

  • Stimmy checks, the productivity paradox, the housing theory of everything – these are just a few of the topics covered with our guest, Kyla Scanlon. It’s tricky to describe who Kyla is and what exactly she does because, yes, she has a massive following on TikTok… but she’s not simply an influencer. She also has an incredible newsletter, but she isn’t simply a writer, even though she has written for the Times, NY Magazine, and Bloomberg. AND, her brand-new book, “In This Economy?: How Money and Markets Really Work,” was just released yesterday. But we think that ultimately Kyla is an educator because she excels at bridging the gap between the complexities of our modern economy and everyday living. It’s clear that she is passionate about empowering individuals with the knowledge they need to make informed financial decisions. Plus, she does all of this with a touch of humor while not ignoring the philosophical angle as well… happy listening!

  • Apprenticeships aren’t just for blacksmiths! The notion that an individual could earn a living, while simultaneously learning how to do their job is such a foreign concept. That’s certainly not how we do things here in America where more folks believe that it takes money to make money! In recent decades more individuals have subscribed to the idea that you have to go to the most expensive college, take on a boatload of student loans, and saddle yourself with years of debt if you want a decent job that pays. Some of the most selective universities are quickly approaching the $100,000 mark… for a single year of college. Nothing has risen faster than the price of college over the decades. But, what if there was another way? We’re joined by education and workforce expert Ryan Craig who says that there are alternatives. His book, Apprentice Nation explores how a modern apprenticeship system will allow students and job seekers to jump-start their careers by learning while they earn, leading to greater workforce diversity and geographic mobility. Hear why other countries are beating us at the apprenticeship game, the types of industries that would greatly benefit from apprenticeships, why college and apprenticeships aren’t mutually exclusive, where you can go to find the best learn and earn programs today, and much more!

  • Join us for a wide-ranging conversation with our guest today, Derek Thompson. We’re big fans of his work so it hardly seems necessary to introduce him, but he’s a senior editor over at The Atlantic where he’s been for 15 years and has since been recognized for his narratives on topics like the future of work and the science of popularity. The latter of which led to the book "Hit Makers," a best-seller that delves into the secret histories of pop culture hits and the dynamics of what makes something popular. Derek also hosts the podcast Plain English, offering weekly insights into the latest news, the things he’s most interested in, and important issues that our society faces today- like the changing views of what work should and shouldn’t be. We also discuss Derek’s craft beer equivalent, the intersection of the board game Ticket To Ride and higher ed, the vibecession, polarization in media, the decline of workism, the rise of AI in the workplace, and more!
