In this first episode of Money School, I sit down with my friend and co-host, Professor Steve Heath, to talk about why we’re starting this journey together. Steve shares his powerful story—from dropping out of school, addiction, and jail time to becoming a successful accounting professor and author of a personal finance textbook. I open up about my own struggles with debt, career setbacks, and the pressure to provide for my family while chasing a dream that hasn’t fully paid off yet. This isn’t your typical personal finance podcast. We’re not here to preach or judge—we’re here to be honest, tell real stories, and create a space where people can actually learn about money without feeling ashamed. If you've ever felt behind or lost when it comes to finances, you're not alone. This is where we start. Welcome to Money School.
