06.03.26 Enter Entrepreneurs / Facts On Finding Unclaimed Funds


Listen Later

Starting a business or a side hustle is easier than it used to be in terms of cost and technology. Is there an entrepreneur hiding inside you? While big corporations lay off loyal employees to please shareholders, nimble micro-businesses are thriving by doing things more efficiently. If you’re mid-career and sick of the corporate grind, Clark shares how you can mitigate your risk by starting a side hustle today that could become your full-time passion tomorrow.  Also, Clark dives into the $70 billion pool of unclaimed property waiting to be returned to everyday Americans. Know how to safely search public databases for free to see if you have funds lost in space - from old retirement plans, forgotten utility deposits, or insurance policies. In fact, a member of Clark's family recovered $10k this way! Learn how to navigate the documentation, avoid the scammers, and claim what is rightfully yours.

Plus, Lane (Clark’s wife!) shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the June 3, 2026, episode of The Clark Howard Show. Submit questions: Ask Clark
