In this end-of-week episode of the Frankie and Jess Podcast, we dive into listener questions, honest confessions, and the kind of real-life advice most of us wish we’d heard sooner.

We talk about social anxiety and small talk exhaustion, the fear of being alone, and what it really takes to put yourself out there — especially when vulnerability feels risky. From dating later in life and coffee-first meetups to understanding where fear comes from, they unpack how self-awareness and timing play a huge role in relationships.

The conversation also covers practical advice around money and adulthood — saving early, compound interest, buying real estate sooner, and learning not to let fear stop you from taking smart chances. Frankie shares lessons passed down from his dad about missed investment opportunities and why those stories shaped how he approaches risk today.

They also touch on college costs and resources like BookSprice.com, a tool for finding cheaper textbook rentals using ISBN numbers, and why small decisions can add up to big savings over time.

A reminder that most of us are just figuring it out as we go.
