  • S. 04 Ep. 13 Financial Feminist Book Review

    In their first ever book review, Dante and Michelle review "The Financial Feminist Book" written by Tori Dunlap. A book about becoming more financial literate and educated, Tori prompts her readers to think about questions such as: Who taught you "money"? How were you taught "money"? What is your relationship with money? She helps her readers understand why women may feel the way they feel when it comes to money by calling out myths and misconceptions surrounding the topic. Dante and Michelle discuss what they like about the book, what they didn't like about the book, and what they take away from it.

  • S. 04 Ep. 05 Summers in Seattle

    Late sunsets, long days... Summers in Seattle are in full effect and Dante and Michelle talk about why summers in Seattle are the best. From food festivals like The Bite of Seattle and Chinatown/International District Food Walk to beaches like Golden Gardens and Alki, celebrations like Seafair (and all the other dozen+ celebrations around the city that are a part of Seafair,) there are so many reasons why summers in Seattle are great. In general, summers in the PNW are unlike any other. One hour west you can reach the ocean shores, and one hour east you can be hiking in the mountains. They also mention surrounding areas worth visiting like Deception Pass and Lake Chelan. What could be better!
