Introducing "The Thing We Never Talk About", a podcast about personal finance for weirdos.

What’s the one thing that you definitely, never, ever talk about in polite company? That’s right, money. Not in public, not with your peers, and lots of times not even at home. And, if you're a creative person, money is absolutely the least cool thing you can care about. Creative people are supposed to do what they do because they love it, right?

But what about if you actually want to, you know, get ahead a little bit? What if you actually DO care about your financial stability and security? And who do you turn to when you have questions?

My name is Tim Iseler. I'm a Certified Financial Planner™ and I run my own independent advisory business in Durham NC helping creative professionals take control of their money. In a previous life I worked in the music business for 18 years as a recording and touring audio engineer. I know from experience that, when it comes to personal finance, most creative professionals feel like they are on their own.

I started this podcast as a way to talk about the thing you're never supposed to talk about: how to make smart decisions with your money while also living & working outside the mainstream. This isn't going to be a technical, tactical, how-to podcast with lots of numbers and such. Instead, we'll look at the human side of financial choices and how you can take the stress out of complicated topics. I'll share tips & tricks for managing money, conversations with creative professionals and other weirdos, different perspectives on how to think about common problems, and, best of all, answers to listener questions.
