Happy New Year, BA Fam! In our most popular episode of 2025, Mandi was joined by two of our faves in the finance space: Chris Browning of “Popcorn Finance” and Berna Anat, author of the amazing book “Money Out Loud”. If you’re looking to level up your money game and feel good doing it, this episode’s for you.
We get into:
- The highs and lows of aggressively saving money
- Gen Z’s "we’re gonna have fun & save money" energy
-Your financial strategy in the age of Tr*mp Tariffs
-Are solopreneurs heading back to Corporate America?
We also chat about what’s going on in the world—from economic uncertainty and tariffs to the importance of staying informed without losing your peace. And when it comes to career shifts, Berna talks about her transition from full-time solopreneurship back to the 9-5 life…and how she’s doing it on her own terms.
