    Mrs. Dow Jones: Why the Old Money Rules Don't Work Anymore | Fortune Daily

    What if you're not bad with money, and the advice you grew up with just stopped working? On this episode of Fortune Daily, we talk with Haley Sacks, better known as Mrs. Dow Jones. She used her comedy training to build a personal-finance business with more than two million followers, a 100,000-reader newsletter, an online school, a podcast with Sony Music, and a New York Times bestseller, Future Rich Person.
