There are no stupid questions, but there are kinda silly ones. On this podcast, Molly and Jess pick a question, concept or even an activity, and research what it really is and how it works. If you're too embarrassed to admit you don't know basic stuff, this pod is for you! Enjoy the chaos as the girls endeavor to learn all about the universe - even if it's just how to cook a steak or change a tire! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Fat Wallet Show is a show about questions. It's about admitting that we don't know everything, but that we're willing to learn. Most of all, it's about understanding as much as we can to make us all better investors. Phrases like, "I'm not sure" or, "Let me look that up and get back to you" or, "I don't know" don't exist in the financial services industry. If you ever had a financial question you were too embarrassed to ask, you know what we're talking about. In this business, appearance ...

The podcast is self-help for people who hate self-help. That is to say, it’s for people looking to improve their lives, but can’t stand the popular methods of doing so. My listeners see the bullshit so prominent in the personal development world, AND because they want to better themselves. They know that they’re not Oprah, and won’t be, but they still want to be better versions of themselves. I am my listeners. I’m nothing special on my own either. I’m just a guy obsessed with figuring this ...
