He Gave Himself a PhD in Investing — One Audiobook at a Time (Brian Feroldi)

Brian Feroldi grew up in Rhode Island as a born saver — the kind of kid who hoarded his lunch money candy rather than eating it, just to watch his collection grow. His dad was a CFO. His mom raised money for the ALS Association. Nobody sat him down and explained how investing worked. That part he had to figure out on his own. A financial educator, YouTuber, and author of the book Why Does the Stock Market Go Up?, Brian joins Chris Hill to talk about the long road from money-illiterate college...

He Cashed Out His 401(k) to Pay for a Round of Golf. He Understands Compounding Now. (Jason Hall)

Jason Hall grew up in rural Georgia watching his dad treat money the way most people treat a hot potato — get it and spend it as fast as you can. Nobody talked about saving. Nobody talked about investing. The plan, such as it was, was to fix up a beat-up old truck his grandfather gave him, pulling parts from the junkyard ten miles down the road, and figure the rest out later. Co-host of the Investing Unscripted podcast and a contributor to The Motley Fool for over a decade, Jason joins Chris ...

The right question, Gardner argues, isn'...

From $28K Salary to $1M Net Worth: What I Got Wrong About Money (Andy Hill)

Andy Hill hit a million-dollar net worth — and the first thing he did was sell part of his brokerage account and buy a Ford Mustang. It's the kind of decision that makes more sense once you understand how he got there. The host of the “Marriage Kids and Money” podcast and the author of Own Your Time, Hill grew up in Michigan learning early lessons about saving, investing, and building wealth. Guided by a mother who emphasized frugality and a father who built a career from the ground up, he de...

I Fell for a Ponzi Scheme in My 20s. Here’s What It Taught Me About Investing. (Laura Adams)

Getting burned on a bad investment early in life can do one of two things: swear you off investing forever, or teach you exactly what kind of investor you want to become. For Laura Adams, it did the latter. Host of the Money Girl podcast — one of the longest-running personal finance podcasts in the world, with more than 1,000 episodes — Adams grew up in Charleston, SC, in a household where money was never discussed. That silence may be exactly why she became obsessed with it. Her earlie...
