More about the show:

‘Friends Who Talk About Money’ is a podcast with the mission to celebrate open conversations about money. Each episode, friends, relatives and couples will be brought together to discuss an element of their relationship that they might otherwise avoid – money.

Discussions will revolve around participants’ goals, challenges, habits and history. What’s the financial elephant in the room and how can it be addressed? A host will guide participants through a candid conversation about their unique financial situation. The conversations will be broken down with an expert who can offer a professional perspective and advice to help listeners navigate similar financial conversations in their own lives.

• Real parent (40’s-70’s) + Son/Daughter (20’s-40’s)
• Real friends (20’s-70’s, all genders)
• Real siblings (20’s-40’s, all genders)
• Real couples (20’s-50’s, all genders)
