Doing Work Aligned to Your Values and Life, with Kiersten and Julien Saunders, authors of Cashing Out

When we talk about activism through a financial or economic lens, most of time, people think of two things: shopping and investing. And those are important. But the single biggest financial decision we make is what we do for a living, our work.
My guests today are Kiersten and Julien Saunders, who I think are incredible role models for thinking about work, both doing work that aligns to your values, and maintaining maybe the healthiest work-life balance I’ve seen among people whose work is fundamentally online. Kiersten and Julien Saunders are the creators of the Rich and Regular blog, the creators of the Money On the Table YouTube series, hosts of the Rich & Regular podcast, money editors at Success Magazine, and now authors of the brand new book Cashing Out, which I highly.
We talk about choosing work that’s aligned to your values, making trade-offs to focus where your heart tells you to, and the upsides of working for yourself.

Real Change over Good Intentions with Michelle MiJung Kim, author of The Wake Up
1 RecommendationsToday I'm bringing you an interview with the author of a new book -- out today! -- that I can't recommend highly enough. The book is The Wake Up, and the author is Michelle MiJung Kim. The Wake Up is an important and necessary book for our times, about how we can take all of our do-gooder intentions and make real progress in fighting the status quo, while avoiding the harm that all too often accompanies good intentions. The book is practical and instructive, and raw and vulnerable, all at the same time. It belongs on your bookshelf next to Ijeoma Oluo and Dr. Ibram Kendi's essential books. Do yourself a favor and find a way to get your hands on it ASAP. Until then, here's a conversation that I absolutely loved with Michelle. Enjoy!
