Why do WeWork, brain freeze, and your kid's financial future have anything in common? More than you'd think.
Brad and Jonathan tackle an eclectic mix of listener questions—from quirky natural remedies to the cautionary tale of a startup hemorrhaging $2.1 million daily. But the real story here is the foundation it builds toward: teaching the next generation to earn, spend, save, borrow, and protect their money before the stakes get real. Whether you're hunting for a high savings rate strategy or just wondering if pressing your tongue to the roof of your mouth actually works, this mashup ties it together with one thread: taking control before life forces your hand.
