Tess Vigeland, author of Leap! Leaving a Job with No Plan B to Find the Career and Life You Really Want, joins us in the basement. Tess writes at the New York Times, The Guardian, and is backup anchor at All Things Considered, but she had been the long-time anchor at Marketplace Money. After 13 years, and in what many would call the “prime years” of her career, she decided it was time to change. Why? She’ll explain.
Whether you’re close to retirement or stuck in the wrong job, you’ll love her tale about the reality of leaping. It’s filled with uncertainty, doubt and emotional highs and lows….and yet it’s also exhilarating, exciting and was the right move.
In our headlines, Joe & OG discuss another radio personality….but this one was caught by the SEC doing something unethical. We take your letters about Roth vs. Traditional IRAs and more. In our movie segment, we’ll tackle the upcoming fall crop of awesome films coming to theaters near you.

I loved her speech! It’s nice to know someone who was so successful also feel very vulnerable. I often get this impression that famous or really successful people have this false sense of confidence. It’s nice to see the human side.
You mentioned that the book by Louis Navellier is “The Little Book that Beats the Market.” Were you referring to his book, “The Little Book that Makes You Rich”? The prior is written by someone else. The one you were describing sounded good so I just wanted to make sure I’m clear on which one it was.
Ha! Yes, we were. Both books are good, but we meant “The Little Book That Beats The Market.”
