The Financial Freshman

Figuring out your finances doesn't have to be overwhelming or boring—instead, it can be rewarding in more ways than one. Each episode, join Rod McRae, a seasoned managing partner at McRae Capital Management, and Chloe Blanchard, a curious, candid young adult with a million money questions, as they break down the topics every young adult needs to know but nobody ever explained.Whether you’re figuring out where to start with retirement planning, wondering if investing is only for people in finance, or stressing about how to talk about money with your partner, Chloe asks the questions you’re probably too embarrassed to ask, and Rod answers with honest, practical advice. No jargon. No sales pitches. Just real conversations about building wealth, planning for the future, and making smart choices—even if you don’t have six figures in the bank (yet). Perfect for recent grads, first-jobbers, or anyone who wants to get their money right from day one, The Financial Freshman is your go-to gui
