Teaching You to Fisch: Financial Literacy for the Rest of Us

This podcast teaches you the basics of financial literacy in order to make better financial decisions and help you live your “good life.” Each episode is designed to be short (usually between 10 and 20 minutes), digestible, and actionable, and I’m hoping the series will “teach you how to fish”; by which I mean give you the knowledge and skills necessary to “feed yourself” financially for a lifetime.
