This week, Jason is joined by financial expert, entrepreneur, and known to many as Mrs. Dow Jones, Haley Sacks!
Upon entering the professional world, Haley took note of the content gap in the personal finance sector and decided to combine her interest in finances and her background in entertainment to make finance cool. Since then, Sacks has been helping a new generation of earners get fluent in finance. In short, she is making dollars make sense with a side of humor and pop culture to her millions of followers on social media. Haley has been featured in finance publications such as Bloomberg, Fortune, Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, CNBC, Forbes, MarketWatch, Entrepreneur, Barron's, Yahoo Finance, and more.
Haley shares her journey from becoming a page for David Letterman to transitioning into finance, including her biggest financial mistake, side hustles, and her role as a creative social producer for Lorne Michaels. She discusses writing scripts for Fuse while working on Mrs. Dow Jones, creating her budgeting template Money Book 2.0, and outlining four essential financial steps everyone should take. Haley offers advice for parents, shares her approach to paying off debt, reframing a budget, and the importance of global exposure. She also reflects on her best and worst investments, provides credit card tips, and stresses the need for a personal money system, arguing that getting rich should be a simple process. With insights into the economy and the goal of working less, she emphasizes why money needs to be a constant conversation in our lives.

228. Kelley Flanagan Returns! From lessons learned from previous relationships and importance of family, major updates from the last few years, and not worrying about a five year plan Episode Description:

This week, Jason is joined by a Bachelor fan favorite and one of his great personal friends, Kelley Flanagan!
Kelley last joined us on Trading Secrets at the end of 2022 when we dived into her time on The Bachelor, her career as an attorney, and plans for her life as a content creator. Professionally, her content creation career has fully taken off as she shares fashion and lifestyle content with her 1 million plus followers. Personally, she has experienced some of life’s hardest moments as she continues to fight her battle with Lyme disease, going through a public breakup, and more recently the loss of her father.
In this episode, Kelley opens up about why she stepped away from podcasts for a few years, the joy she’s found in her life, and the personal, financial, and professional impact of moving for a relationship. She discusses how her goals were put on hold during her last relationship, the safety nets she kept, and her new golden rules for dating. Kelley also reflects on her parents’ marriage, why she’s not stressing about having kids at 33, her thoughts on The Bachelor fanbase, and the truth always coming out. From her Chanel bag journey to the work ethic instilled by her dad, Kelley shares why she doesn’t have a five-year plan, whether she'd return to reality TV, and what she would have done differently in regards to the show.

230. Brynn Whitfield: How she landed being in the RHONY cast, being a standup creative, balancing a full-time job in tech outside of reality tv, and diving into her mindset on money and relationships

This week, Jason is joined by entrepreneur, marketing professional, and more notable, a personality on Bravo’s Real Housewives of New York City, Brynn Whitfield!
Brynn joined the rebooted cast of RHONY, which wrapped up in January. Prior to diving into reality TV, Brynn worked on an award-winning campaign for global campaigns of the largest companies managing and executing strategic media relations programs for clients spanning Shell Oil, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, and many tech-based companies. More recently, Brynn co-founded a dating app strictly for college students called Hoppy.
Brynn gets candid about how The Real Housewives of New York discovered her, her complicated relationship with tech, and prepping for her Zoom interviews for RHONY. She shares which character she’s often compared to, spending more on DoorDash than she earned in her first season, and why her professional life stays off-camera. As the only full-time working Housewife, she opens up about financial security, relationship accountability, prenups, NYC money mindset, and what she loves to splurge on—plus, rapid-fire cast questions, pitching a dating app idea to a Bumble founder, and her go-to advice for negotiation.
