In this episode I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Amanda Cassar—financial advisor, podcast host, and all-around powerhouse—about her inspiring journey building the "Financial Secrets Revealed" podcast. We dove into everything from turning her book into a podcast, to shining a light on important topics like financial abuse and expert advice on investing. Amanda opened up about the creative process behind her show, the realities of podcast production (yes, she gets real about costs!), and the ways her podcast has helped position her as an expert and advocate in a field that really matters. We also got a little nerdy about workflow, branding, and dreaming big—think speaking gigs, YouTube upgrades, and even TEDx ambitions! My hope is that you walk away inspired to tell your own story, take creative risks, and remember: your voice and message really can make a difference.
