Season 3 of Fortune Favors the Bold takes on real questions from real people — financial questions that everyone thinks about, but no one talks about. With host Ashley C. Ford, we'll be putting those questions out in the open, exploring how money is tangled up in everything and finding the answers through our own “Financial Identity”. New episodes premiere in January 2020. This is the official Mas... more

This is a great podcast to listen to! I listen to it on the train on the way to work in the morning. Love hearing about what most people should be learning more about—financial responsibilities and identity.
Love this show!
Great selection of topics that reflect how quickly our monetary world changes!
Thank you for making this!
Feels like a long commercial, kinda cool but I couldn’t get over the Mastercard extended ad feel of it
This series has introduced me to different approaches to the work world, a reminder of the importance of doing good and how the business world is changing. I’ve shared a few posts on LinkedIn to try to inspire others to take time and listen.
It goes way beyond fiance- Such great stories looped into each topics.
Really enjoying the stories on this show.
Phenomenal gimlet quality audio and the host is easy to listen to. I haven’t been moved by any of the episodes yet, so that’s why I’m only giving it a 4. But I’m enjoying it. The best one so far has been the digital identity episode.
For me, I have had an Aha moment, listening to the definition of success through a millennial. I could never understand why my son, a millennial, didn’t really care about his car or be motivated to get to the next level. He spends most of his money and time on experiences, which I now understand are what’s important to him, and is defining his success.
This podcast does a spectacular job at not only changing the meaning of money itself, but educating the experienced generations of how to redefine personal success.
Excellent storytelling! Watch out for Ashley C. Ford, she is a change-maker, talented writer, and podcaster!
Ashley is such a star. I have learned something every minute of listening to this show, and I am not AT ALL into finance or money. Recommended if you like to learn!
I liked it, the style was good and the insights were really interesting.
