  • Thanks for gift of Apropos of Nothing

    Thanks for the fun Apropos of Nothing discussions. Personally, I think Kringle Global Enterprises (KGE) is a hidden fourth credit reporting bureau and provider of background checks. Revenue is not reported because government customers prohibit it. Also expect that Deep Throat was a KGE employee; however, his leaks from the naughty list were directed by the "big man" himself.

  • The Title Says It All

    This show is about money. This show is discussions with people, you may or may not have heard of, many of whom are considered to be money experts. But it’s unplugged; it’s not them telling YOU how to handle money; it’s them telling about how they came to understand money and how it affects life — THEIR life.

    Chris is a great interviewer with years of experience and connections from hosting Motley Fool Money. Fool’s might consider some of the episodes as mashups of a MFM interview and an Apropo... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Your Time Is Actually Worth (Paula Pant)
Q: When did money management start to feel personal rather than purely mathematical for you?
Paula explains that in her early 20s the shift came from freelancing success and recognizing money as a behavioral and time-value decision, not just numbers.
The Financial Journalist Who Ignored the Markets (John Wordock)
Q: Did you have restrictions on your personal investing while working at major outlets?
Yes. He had to sign annual agreements restricting day trading and stock trading, ensuring professional boundaries between coverage and personal finance activities.
The Financial Journalist Who Ignored the Markets (John Wordock)
Q: What was your first job as a kid?
Delivering the grit newspaper in a small Maine village, which taught him the basics of client service and basic invoicing before he shifted to more entrepreneurial ventures.
The Financial Journalist Who Ignored the Markets (John Wordock)
Q: Do you have an early memory of money?
Yes. He recalls his family's modest beginnings, moving to Maine, and his mother's frugal lessons, which fostered an early interest in money and a habit of prudent budgeting and saving.
Make Peace with Money (Hannah Cole)
Q: What's your key takeaway about money that you wish you knew earlier?
Compound interest is powerful and not as intimidating as it seems; keeping money simple and following basic rules can have a big long-term impact, especially for people with irregular income.
