Show Notes 00:00 Introduction 06:24 Many couples struggle not just with money decisions, but with who thinks about the money. How do you see the mental load showing up in financial management?  5:50 What advice would you give couples where one partner is the “default financial manager” and the other is disengaged? 17:58 Why do we keep making the same money mistakes even when we “know better”? 23:55 You’ve said “getting ahead is a trap.” That’s countercultural. What should people aim for instead? 29:10 Rapid fire questions: For these questions, say the questions back and provide a succinct instinctual response: One money belief you’ve changed your mind about? A financial rule people should break? A financial rule people should never break? Best way to start a money conversation with your spouse? One word you want people to associate with money? 34:38 Where can listeners learn more about you and purchase your new book, Your Money? 35:39 If listeners take away just one idea from your work, what do you hope it is?

    How to Spot a Scam: AI Fraud, Warning Signs, and What to Do If You’re Scammed.

    Welcome to the Modern Husbands podcast, where any combination of Dr. Bruce Ross, Christian Sherrill, and Brian Page host national experts who share winning ideas to manage money and the home as a team. I’m Brian Page, founder of Modern Husbands. Sometimes our listeners want more support than a podcast can give, individual or couple support, which I provide as a Certified Financial Therapist, Accredited Financial Counselor and Fair Play Facilitator. Details can be found at modernhusbands.com. For today’s episode we welcome Andy Murphy, the founder of The Secure Dad®, a family safety resource he launched in 2016 to help parents feel more confident protecting the people they love. Through practical, accessible guidance on home security, situational awareness, emergency preparedness, and online safety, Murphy has expanded The Secure Dad from a personal blog into an award-winning podcast, books, and other family safety resources. Andy shares insights on how AI has transformed scams, making them more sophisticated and organized, and offers practical advice on how to recognize and protect against these threats, especially for older adults and families. Enjoy the show. Show Notes 00:00 Introduction 2:38 You told me something before we recorded that I think is really important: “Scamming is an unfair fight.” What do you mean by that? 4:03 So what are a few scam spotting schemes / red flags? 5:57 When someone falls for a scam, we often hear, “How could they possibly have believed that?” What are scammers doing psychologically that can cause otherwise intelligent, financially responsible people to make a decision they normally wouldn’t make? 8:12 Take us inside a scam. What are the most common red flags that should make someone stop and think, “Something isn’t right here”? 10:43 A lot of people listening to this podcast aren't just protecting themselves and their kids anymore—they're also beginning to worry about aging parents. Why can protecting our parents from scams be so difficult? 16:32 Suppose my mom or dad calls me tomorrow and says, “I think I may have just been scammed.” What's the first thing I should say—and what are the first things we should do? 19:40 If every family listening adopted just one new habit this week that would significantly reduce their chances of becoming a scam victim, what would you want that habit to be? 21:27 Where can our listeners learn more about you and your work? #personalfinance #money Subscribe or follow Modern Husbands on social media!
