  • 107: Avoid Money Drama: How Early Should Finances Come Up in Dating

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, Jessica and Brandon dive into a tricky but essential question: How soon should you bring up money when you're dating?

    They unpack why money often feels taboo, share tips to start the conversation without tension, and explore real‐life stories about financial expectations, backgrounds, and values. Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, or beyond, you’ll get tools to help you be curious, open, and intentional in your relationships.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • How early is “too early” vs. “too late” to talk about things like debt, financial goals, and spending styles.
    • Simple conversation starters that don’t feel intimidating.
    • How upbringing & past financial habits influence what you expect (and need) in a partner.
    • What to do if your partner resists having the money talk.

    Questions we answer:

    • Should you ask about money on date one, date two, or after you get more serious?
    • What clues about a person’s financial mindset can you pick up in subtle ways?
    • When is it okay to split bills 50/50 vs. proportionally?

    If you’ve navigated this conversation well, or struggled badly, share your stories with us! We love hearing what works (and what doesn’t) in real life.

  • 105: Investing Made Simple with Chloé Daniels

    Send us Fan Mail

    Feel like investing is only for finance bros and math nerds? You’re not alone and this episode is about to change that.

    This week, Jess and Brandon are joined by Chloé Daniels, the powerhouse behind Clo Bare Money, who’s helped over 300,000 people ditch financial fear and start investing the lazy way. Chloe’s journey is all-too-relatable: from believing “girls are bad with money” to loaning a now ex $50K, she’s made the mistakes so you don’t have to.

    She breaks down investing in a way that actually makes sense—no jargon, no shame. 

    You’ll learn how to:
     • Automate your investments with zero stress
     • Use tools like robo-advisors or target date funds
     • Stop overcomplicating wealth-building (seriously, it’s easier than you think)
     • Rewire old money beliefs holding you back

    Plus, Chloé gets real about prenups, financial red flags in relationships, and why loving someone doesn’t mean going broke for them.

    If you’ve ever thought, “I want to invest but have no idea where to start,” this is your starting line. Hit play and get ready to feel empowered, not overwhelmed.

    GoFundMe should never be your family’s financial plan.

    In this episode Jess & Brandon break down why life insurance is a non-negotiable part of smart financial planning, no matter your age, income, or relationship status.

    They share a powerful, heartbreaking story of a brilliant friend who passed away at 38, leaving behind a wife and young child with no coverage, and no financial protection. It’s a harsh wake-up call and a reminder that life can change in an instant.

    • Why everyone needs life insurance, even if you're single or child-free
    • Why employer-provided coverage is usually not enough
    • How your health and age impact coverage cost (and why timing matters)
    • How to set up beneficiaries correctly for estate planning
    • Why life insurance isn’t about fear, it’s about love and legacy

    This episode isn’t just informative, it’s personal. Whether you're building wealth or just starting your financial journey, this conversation could be the most important one you hear all year.

  • 103: Stay-at-Home Parenting: The Privileges and Financial Risks

    Send us Fan Mail

    For many families, the decision to become a stay-at-home parent isn’t really a choice, it’s the result of America’s broken childcare system. Daycare costs can swallow an entire paycheck, but leaving the workforce carries hidden financial risks that can last for decades.

    • How career gaps impact your resume and earning power
    • Why retirement savings and Social Security shrink when you’re out of the workforce
    • The power imbalances that can emerge in single-income households
    • Why divorce hits stay-at-home parents especially hard
    • Strategies to safeguard your financial future, from spousal IRAs to postnuptial agreements

    If you’re weighing the decision to stay home, or are already living it, this honest conversation will help you navigate the intersection of parenting, money, and identity.

  • 102: Empowering Women with Money: Bola Sokunbi of Clever Girl Finance

    Send us Fan Mail

    What does true financial freedom look like for women?

    Bola Sokunbi, founder of Clever Girl Finance, shares her journey from witnessing women in crisis—arriving at her family’s doorstep with nothing but suitcases, to building one of the largest personal finance platforms for women in the U.S.

    Raised in Nigeria, Bola absorbed early money lessons from her parents and watched her mother’s determination change the trajectory of their family. After being dismissed by a financial advisor who questioned her success, she set out to educate herself and ultimately millions of women about money.

    In this conversation, Bola opens up about financial independence, cultural pressures, and finding her voice in male-dominated spaces. Her message is clear: financial security isn’t just about money,it’s about options, freedom, and the power to walk away when life demands it.

    Ready to create more choices in your own life? Bola shares practical steps to get started today.

  • 100: The One Number That Determines Your Financial Future

    Send us Fan Mail

    Your income and investment returns matter—but nothing predicts your financial freedom more than your savings rate. Yet, most Americans save only 3–5% of their income, a level that almost guarantees they’ll have to work far longer than they’d like.

    In this episode, Jess & Brandon reveal why your savings rate is the true driver of wealth and how it works regardless of income level. They share real examples of modest earners who retired as millionaires—and why high-income professionals often fall behind due to lifestyle inflation.

    You’ll discover:

    • How to calculate your personal savings rate
    • The percentage you need to hit for retirement security and early financial independence
    • Practical steps to increase your savings without feeling restricted
    • How to set up automation so you save consistently and effortlessly

    They’ll also challenge you with a simple, two-step plan to make saving non-negotiable and start shaping the future you actually want.

In this episode, Jess and Brandon expose the shady world of insider stock trades, slap-on-the-wrist fines, and the double standards baked into the system.

    Then they’re coming for out-of-touch celebrity financial “advice” that sounds more like satire.
