Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin

Today, Nicole breaks down all stock market lingo you need to decode investments —like market cap, and P/E ratio—and shows you how they actually work in real-life trading, using a deep dive into a real example of a stock that got... weird. You'll learn how to spot a stock’s highs, lows, and everything in between… plus why relying on just one type of analysis (technical OR fundamental) is like trying to fly a plane with one wing.

Today Nicole sits down with celebrated journalist Daryn Kagan and her husband, Trent Swanson—though around here, we call him The Miles Husband. Daryn reflects on the highs of her career as a news anchor and what it felt like when CNN didn’t renew her contract.

Daryn also gives her strategy for creating the role you want and shares a message for anyone still waiting on their dream career, relationship, or family. Then, Trent breaks down how a little curiosity about credit card points turned into a full-on travel hacking strategy that now has the couple flying around the world in luxury for next to nothing... and how you can, too!

Pattie Ehsaei’s life may look picture-perfect now—she’s a financial exec, lawyer, and author—but it’s been shaped by unimaginable tragedy. Pattie grew up watching her mom depend entirely on her dad financially, a dynamic that turned toxic and ended in unimaginable tragedy. Later, Pattie found herself in a financially abusive relationship of her own, repeating painful patterns until she broke the cycle.  Today, she shares the lessons she’s learned about love, money, and power—wisdom she’s also laid out in her book, Never Date a Broke Dude. Nicole and Pattie talk about why who you choose as a partner is the biggest financial decision you’ll ever make, how stay-at-home parents can protect their financial autonomy, and how to spot the money red flags that don’t always look like red flags. And yes—they also get into why Pattie says you should never date a broke dude. Today’s episode contains descriptions of intimate partner violence and suicide. Please take care while listening.

Could these controversial programs really generate $100 billion in revenue? Or are we pricing out the very talent and innovation that made America an economic powerhouse?
