    Dr. Judith's Best Career Advice, and Why She Thinks Higher Education is Worth It

    In this episode of Two Cents, Hannah and James sit down with Dr. Judith Joseph to unpack one of the biggest financial and personal questions people face today: should I go back to school, and is higher education worth it? Dr. Judith shares why she still believes education can be life-changing, even in a world of skyrocketing tuition costs and student debt. From becoming an expert in your field to learning from mentors and peers, she explains what higher education offers beyond just a degree, and why investing in your skills and trade can create opportunities no one can take away from you.We also dive into the realities people don’t talk about enough: who college is really for, whether some programs cost more than they’re worth, and the responsibility institutions have when it comes to rising tuition prices. Dr. Judith opens up about her own difficult experiences in medical school, including moments that made her question everything, and why external motivation alone isn’t enough to sustain a demanding career path.Plus, we answer listener-submitted questions about going back to school, finding mentors, balancing emotional burnout with career opportunities, and figuring out your “end game” before committing to a path. Dr. Judith also shares practical advice for people interested in therapy, psychology, and healthcare careers, including the many routes available beyond becoming a doctor.Follow Two Cents / STS on all socials @SalaryTransparentStreet and @twocents.sts Follow Hannah on IG @hannahwilliamsllc, TikTok @hannahwill3ams Follow James on IG @sts.bts

    How to Combat Financial Nihilism with Haley Sacks (Mrs. Dow Jones)

    Haley Sacks, aka Mrs. Dow Jones, came on the Two Cents Podcast to share about how early our money habits are formed, quiet luxury, what it looks like to prioritize actually getting rich (rather than looking rich), and how financial nihilism holds us back from actually growing wealth. We also delve into frictionless finances, setting money dates with yourself, and more ways to make saving and investing easier for yourself. 'Do it for your ancestors, girl!' Sacks said, recounting how you should never be afraid of trying or asking when it comes to hard money conversations.

    Why Social Media Beats Every Other Marketing Strategy

    In this episode of Two Cents Podcast, we sit down with Sasha Zabar, founder of Glace and Glace Candy, to talk about a simple idea that most founders get wrong: you don’t need to spend money to make money.We get into why so many early businesses overspend—especially on things like office space and rent—and how that pressure to “look the part” can actually hurt you before you’ve even had the chance to grow into it. Sasha breaks down why staying lean in the early days isn’t just smart, it’s necessary.Instead, we talk about focusing on low-cost, high-impact growth—like social media, which he calls the fastest (and least excuse-worthy) way to build momentum. He shares how Glace went viral with its now-famous hot chocolate, and how that moment completely changed the trajectory of the business.We also dive into where spending does matter: investing in the big-ticket elements that shape your brand identity, and putting money toward education so you actually understand your space and can build something with real staying power.Whether you’re starting a business, scaling one, or just trying to be smarter with your money, this episode is a reminder that being scrappy isn’t a limitation—it’s an advantage.And if you liked this episode, we’d appreciate it if you gave us a follow and a review.

    Return to Office is Anti-Women | Two Cents Podcast ft. Deanna Cuadra

    In this episode of Two Cents Podcast, we sit down with Deanna Cuadra (reporter at P&C Specialist Commercial at FT Specialist and formerly Employee Benefit News) to talk Return To Office mandates, why they’re hitting caregivers the hardest, and how a “back to normal” push can quietly become anti-woman. Return To Office is anti-caregiver… and because women are still expected to carry most of that load, it becomes anti-woman. We get into the real reasons RTO is back in full force, why childcare costs make “just come back in” financially impossible for a lot of families, and what happens when companies ignore the talent they’re pushing out the door. Plus, we talk what would actually make RTO more equitable: genuine hybrid schedules, stepping away from the rigid 9–5 mindset, and giving people more agency over how they show up, without sacrificing performance. Whether you’re being pulled back into the office, trying to balance work with caregiving, or just wondering why this conversation feels so loaded right now, this episode is for you. And if you liked this episode, we’d appreciate it if you gave us a follow and a review.

    Men Are Bad At Money | Two Cents Podcast ft. Amanda Holden

    In this episode of the Two Cents Podcast, we sit down with Amanda Holden (aka @dumpster.doggy on Instagram), a former investment management pro turned educator and author of How to Be a Rich Old Lady, to talk investing, wealth-building, and why the “financial markets” are starting to look more like a casino to some... Amanda’s Two Cents is simple and spicy: a lot of what people—but mostly men—call “investing” right now is actually gambling. We get into the rise of crypto trading, meme stocks, options, day trading, sports betting, and how apps are designed to push impulsive decisions instead of long-term growth. Plus, we tackle a listener question that gets real fast. We talk boundaries, financial transparency, and how marriage is a legal and *financial* contract. She also shares practical advice for navigating student debt, debt shame, and what options people actually have. Whether you’re trying to invest without getting wrecked by hype, protect your financial future, or figure out how to talk money with a partner, this episode is for you. And if you liked this episode, we’d appreciate it if you gave us a follow and a review.

    America Needs an NBA-Like Salary Cap | Two Cents Podcast ft. Timm Chiusano

    In this episode of Two Cents Podcast, we sit down with Timm Chiusano (aka the “Mr. Rogers of Corporate America”) to talk money, careers, and the uncomfortable truth about how secretive pay can be. Timm breaks down the least he’s ever made, the most he’s ever made, and what “LTI” actually means when stock and bonuses enter the chat. We also get into the creator economy, why multiple income streams can be the smartest move, and his spicy take: Corporate America needs an NBA-style salary cap to help close the gap between the C-suite and entry-level workers. Plus, Timm opens up about not having a college degree, why “skills over pedigree” matters, and the advice he’d give to anyone feeling pressured to have it all figured out at 18. He wraps with one career skill he thinks beats everything else! Whether you’re trying to understand your pay, build a career you actually like, or just want a fresh perspective on how people really make money, this one’s for you.
