How do you make the topic of money actually fun? That’s the question the Singleton Foundation asked, and CEO Shelley Miles and Executive Producer Lisa Freberg join us today to explain how they pulled it off. They not only found talented creators to make a series that resembles Netflix for money nerds, but they also thought deeply about exactly how to tell each series of stories. Today we’ll talk about how they’ve made money discussions compelling, with the help of NFL star Richard Sherman, actress and comedian GloZell, and more.
Big news happened recently in mutual fund land. Vanguard is throwing in the towel on one of its products. Plus, as they attempt to tread water, colleges have turned to mass layoffs. What does that mean for the college experience? We’ll share our thoughts.
And in today’s Haven Life Line call, Seth has some business debt to pay off. He’d expected to make enough money on the side to pay it off but that hasn’t happened. So instead, he plans to use his W2 income to wipe it out. Should he approach it like regular debt and pay off the highest interest loans first?
…and of course, we’ll save time for some of Doug’s “working like a dog” trivia. Enjoy!
