In this episode of Living Not So Fabulously, John and David speak with financial coach and personal finance writer David Lester. Life wasn't always so fabulous for this financial guru, as some of the bets he made in his youth went sour and left him in a precarious place. Over time, he was able to bounce back and turn his experiences into valuable lessons. David discusses the allure (and risk) of options, managing tariff-induced volatility, and how sticking to your values can make all the difference in your life.
