Money & a Good Life Tribeca Financial Talking about the F word never sounded so good. Money & a Good Life is a podcast to help you manage your finances and make the most out of life. So what the F is this podcast about? Finances. Ryan Watson is someone who tells it like it is. And speaks from the heart. No wonder he’s the host of a podcast that tackles the F word head-on. This word can either be a friend or a foe. Ryan knows both. He’s experienced living pay check to pay check, seeing his hard working single mother determined to take control of her money, rather than let it control her and her family. It’s what inspired him to disrupt the finance industry by making financial advice less complicated. More human. And it’s what naturally led him to creating the Money & a Good Life podcast to further break down barriers by having open conversations about money and all that comes with it.
