• The Smartest Bet I Made All Night (A Solo Episode) 03.07.2026 15นาที

  We all outsource some part of our financial life — taxes, investments, retirement contributions, etc. But it turns out you can outsource the small stuff too! Even if that means leaning on the person sitting next to you at a blackjack table. In this holiday weekend solo episode, Chris Hill covers: - A favor to ask of you — why do you listen to Money Unplugged, and what do you get out of it? (Email: info@moneyunpluggedpod.com) - One thing every guest on this show, every Marvel superhero, ...
• What Your Time Is Actually Worth (Paula Pant) 26.06.2026 29นาที

  Paula Pant grew up watching her mother spend six hours going between four different grocery stores, coupons sorted by location, all to save a few dollars on milk and bread. Frugality wasn't a choice in the Pant household — it was the operating system. It took years for her to realize that nobody had ever asked what all that time was actually worth. Host of the popular podcast Afford Anything, Paula talks with Chris Hill about that early lesson and how she unlearned it, as well as: - How getti...
• The Financial Advisor Who Needed a Financial Advisor (Joe Saul-Sehy) 19.06.2026 25นาที

  Joe Saul-Sehy co-hosts Stacking Benjamins, one of the most popular personal finance podcasts in the world. But before that, he was a financial advisor with a secret — and a marriage the secret was about to put to the test. In the conclusion of his two-part conversation with Chris Hill, he shares: - What he was hiding from his wife when they got married — and how long it took him to come clean - A phone call with the IRS that flipped his entire relationship with debt - How a CPA with the heart...
• What Nobody Told Me About Money (Joe Saul-Sehy) 12.06.2026 31นาที

  Joe Saul-Sehy is the co-host of Stacking Benjamins, one of the most downloaded personal finance podcasts in the world — but long before he was giving financial advice to millions of listeners, he was making every money mistake in the book. In this first of a two-part conversation with Chris Hill, Joe traces the roots of his complicated relationship with money, from a childhood defined by financial silence to the early adult mistakes that shaped everything that came after. - What a Huffy bike...
• The Financial Journalist Who Ignored the Markets (John Wordock) 05.06.2026 26นาที

  John Wordock spent decades working for the biggest names in financial journalism — Bloomberg, CBS MarketWatch, The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones. He interviewed Jack Bogle, and Mike Bloomberg personally sent him to Washington DC to build a broadcast bureau. John knew everyone worth knowing in the world of money. And then he put his savings in index funds and stopped thinking about it. Chris Hill sits down with John to find out what three decades inside financial news actually taught him abou...
• Make Peace with Money (Hannah Cole) 29.05.2026 28นาที

  Hannah Cole grew up watching her father, a successful architect, call family meetings at the dinner table whenever the economy turned. Belt-tightening conversations. No explanation of how bad things actually were. Just anxiety, and a dad in a bad mood. Cole spent her early career as far from the world of money as she could get — a master's degree in painting from Boston University and years as a working artist in New York City. Then reality intervened. And when she finally sat down with an ac...
• From $19,000 a Year to Financial Freedom (Joseph Moore) 22.05.2026 31นาที

  Joseph Moore grew up in rural South Carolina, the son of an electrician who worked during the day and went to school at night. Money wasn't discussed in his house (there wasn't enough of it to make conversation). Today, Moore is a historian and author of the national bestseller How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn’t) who achieved financial freedom in his mid-40s. But the path there was anything but straight: a detour through seminary, a ne...
• Betting on Yourself: The Financial Reality of Going Solo (Marc Goldman) 15.05.2026 38นาที

  For nearly two decades, Marc Goldman was the voice of the Marine Corps Marathon — running marketing, communications, and sponsorships for one of the most prestigious road races in America. Five years ago, he walked away from that stability to launch Event Voice, his own announcing and event strategy business. In this conversation, Marc and Chris Hill explore: - Why the pandemic became the catalyst for a career leap Marc had been quietly building toward for years - How he thought through the f...
• Why Less is More in Investing and Life (Ben Carlson) 08.05.2026 29นาที

  Ben Carlson has a simple philosophy when it comes to money — and life: less is more. He writes it in every book he signs. It sounds obvious, but most people never actually live it. He’s the co-host of Animal Spirits and author of the brand-new book, Risk and Reward: How to Handle Market Volatility and Build Long-Term Wealth. Chris Hill talks with Ben about: - The lesson his late brother Jon taught him about risk and money - Growing up in Michigan with frugal parents and a dad whose only finan...
• The Hardest Money Skill Nobody Talks About (Dan Caplinger) 01.05.2026 32นาที

  Dan Caplinger has spent most of his career helping people understand money — first as a tax and estate planning attorney, then as a longtime writer at The Motley Fool. But the financial lessons that shaped him most started long before any of that: skipping school lunch to save a few dollars, counting coin rolls with his mom, and learning the hard way that a $60 Pac-Man game isn't what a nine-year-old thinks it is. Chris Hill talks with Dan about: - What the billable-hours model of law firms t...
• Skin in the Game: Why Your Investments Should Match Your Convictions (Brian Stoffel) 24.04.2026 29นาที

  What if the stocks you believe in the most are the ones you actually own? Brian Stoffel spent years as a teacher before stumbling into investing — and one experiment changed everything. After reading Nassim Taleb's Skin in the Game, he went back and coded 300 of his own articles into two buckets: companies he wrote about positively that he owned, and companies he wrote about positively that he didn't. The results were striking. The stocks he owned outperformed the market. The ones he didn't o...
• How a Music Teacher Went From $50 on Robinhood to Hosting an Investing Podcast (Jeff Santoro) 17.04.2026 31นาที

  In January 2020, Jeff Santoro deposited $50 into a Robinhood account and started buying penny stocks. He had no idea what he was doing. Two months later, the pandemic hit — and he suddenly had a lot of time to figure it out. Santoro spent 12 years teaching music and has spent the past 13 as a school administrator. He is also the co-host of Investing Unscripted, a podcast he built from scratch (with Jason Hall) after becoming obsessed with investing in his 40s. His path there runs through a fa...
• He Gave Himself a PhD in Investing — One Audiobook at a Time (Brian Feroldi) 10.04.2026 28นาที

  Brian Feroldi grew up in Rhode Island as a born saver — the kind of kid who hoarded his lunch money candy rather than eating it, just to watch his collection grow. His dad was a CFO. His mom raised money for the ALS Association. Nobody sat him down and explained how investing worked. That part he had to figure out on his own. A financial educator, YouTuber, and author of the book Why Does the Stock Market Go Up?, Brian joins Chris Hill to talk about the long road from money-illiterate college...
• He Cashed Out His 401(k) to Pay for a Round of Golf. He Understands Compounding Now. (Jason Hall) 03.04.2026 33นาที

  Jason Hall grew up in rural Georgia watching his dad treat money the way most people treat a hot potato — get it and spend it as fast as you can. Nobody talked about saving. Nobody talked about investing. The plan, such as it was, was to fix up a beat-up old truck his grandfather gave him, pulling parts from the junkyard ten miles down the road, and figure the rest out later. Co-host of the Investing Unscripted podcast and a contributor to The Motley Fool for over a decade, Jason joins Chris ...
• What Do You Actually Want Money to Buy? (Tyler Gardner) 27.03.2026 39นาที

  Tyler Gardner grew up eating Cheerios from a bag on a Vermont ski slope while other kids bought hot chocolate. That early lesson about money — absorbed more than taught — sent him on one of the more unconventional paths in personal finance: from stealing grocery money as a kid, to Andover on financial aid, to teaching English at prep schools for a decade, to becoming a financial advisor who thinks most people are asking the wrong question about wealth. The right question, Gardner argues, isn'...
• From $28K Salary to $1M Net Worth: What I Got Wrong About Money (Andy Hill) 20.03.2026 32นาที

  Andy Hill hit a million-dollar net worth — and the first thing he did was sell part of his brokerage account and buy a Ford Mustang. It's the kind of decision that makes more sense once you understand how he got there. The host of the “Marriage Kids and Money” podcast and the author of Own Your Time, Hill grew up in Michigan learning early lessons about saving, investing, and building wealth. Guided by a mother who emphasized frugality and a father who built a career from the ground up, he de...
• I Fell for a Ponzi Scheme in My 20s. Here’s What It Taught Me About Investing. (Laura Adams) 13.03.2026 32นาที

  Getting burned on a bad investment early in life can do one of two things: swear you off investing forever, or teach you exactly what kind of investor you want to become. For Laura Adams, it did the latter. Host of the Money Girl podcast — one of the longest-running personal finance podcasts in the world, with more than 1,000 episodes — Adams grew up in Charleston, SC, in a household where money was never discussed. That silence may be exactly why she became obsessed with it. Her earlie...
• Why Hating Your Job Might Be the Best Thing That Ever Happened to You (Alison Fragale) 06.03.2026 33นาที

  The best job is one you love. The second best? One you hate. Organizational psychologist Alison Fragale learned this the hard way — trading a McKinsey consulting career she couldn't stand for a Stanford PhD and a calling she never would have found otherwise. A professor at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School and author of the bestseller Likeable Badass, Fragale grew up in Pittsburgh shaped by a father who made sure his daughter never had to think twice about what she put in the grocery cart. T...
• The Investing Strategy That Quietly Outperforms — and Almost Nobody Under 40 Uses (Matt Argersinger) 27.02.2026 36นาที

  Dividend stocks don’t get the hype of high-growth tech names — but they’ve quietly delivered some of the market’s best long-term returns. Investor Matt Argersinger joins Chris Hill to break down why dividend-paying companies can outperform, why younger investors shouldn’t ignore them, and how the stigma around dividends began to fade. They discuss: - The myth that dividend stocks are “for retirees” - Losing his first $500 investing in a failed computer company - The shift in investor thinking...
• The Day I Landed in New York, Bear Stearns Collapsed (Douglas Boneparth) 20.02.2026 36นาที

  What's it like to start over in a new city on the day the financial world begins to fall apart? Douglas Boneparth flew into JFK in October 2008 with four boxes and a mattress to buy — and landed in the middle of the Great Financial Crisis. He didn't go home. Boneparth is a CFP, president of Bone Fide Wealth, and co-author with his wife Heather of Money Together. His path to New York started in the retirement communities of Boca Raton, where as a teenager he and his brother ran a computer repa...
