How to talk about money
05/14/24 • 80 min
As far as difficult subjects go, money is pretty high on the list for most people. Luckily, this week we have not one, but TWO brilliant experts in their field to help guide us through this conversational minefield.
At the top of the show, we are joined by #1 best selling author, podcaster and financial expert, Peter Komolafe.
Peter gives some incredible advice on topics such as asking for money, as well as how to ask for it back. Plus, he shares some of his own personal experiences of how to handle things if you don't get your money back, as well as how to better recognise and manage your own spending habits.
For anyone interested in finding out more from Peter, he hosts a 6-week book club where he takes people through all the practical aspects of his latest book. More details can be found here: https://peterkomolafe.com/the-money-basics-book-club
Secondly, we hear brilliant insights from Joe Huston, Managing Director of GiveDirectly. Joe leads teams across 12 countries to deliver over one hundred and fifty million dollars a year to some of the poorest people in the world, so he certainly knows a thing or two about how to talk money.
He shares his top tips for how to ask for money in the charitable sector, and his approach may surprise you!
