Let’s break this money sh*t down.
Do you even know why any of this money stuff matters at all?
How you make money, spend money, and nurture money is critical to building a more equitable world. By empowering business owners to take control of their finances we can all use our money to disrupt the current failing financial systems and build new ones. Why do we have to fundamentally tear down the existing financial institutions? Because they were not designed to be just or equitable for everyone.
It’s Time To Disrupt The Almighty Dollar
Money affects all areas of our life so no topic is off-limits. Every week, we’ll cover subjects ranging from the rise of cryptocurrency to having a better relationship with the IRS.
You’ve got questions - We’ve got answers.

Customer Reviews
Real Money Talk
Meg isn’t afraid to have the uncomfortable conversations, and for most people, money is the ultimate one. She does a fantastic job of breaking down complex money topics into understandable terms for business owners who, honestly, don’t WANT to do the money stuff. Having Meg in my ears reminding me that money is awesome and we can make change with money is something I look forward to each episode.
Please…
Listened to this to hear Tiffany McClain, who I respect a great deal, but, wow, these two together are a piece of work! They’re soooo surprised that someone would think they have to charge less to work with minorities? Seriously??!? We often hear (supported by stats) that minorities earn significantly less than whites, so it’s very, very reasonable to assume that. Of course, some of every group have plenty of money, but to build a practice, especially if one want to help the most vulnerable, it’s quite realistic to think lower fees will be needed. Next, about the whole “make bank” idea… of course, any of us have the right to charge whatever we see fit to do, and more power to you. But, this whole idea of you’re a social justice warrior (trying to improve mental health care for the masses) really smells of a massive rationalization. Any benefits like that, first, would require massive financial resources to pay more for therapy for the masses, and that will take a long, long, long time. It took more than 20 years to get some insurance cos to not have limits on the number of sessions (many more still do have some limits.). So, we’re all chipping away at those norms for many, many, many decades ahead, you’re making $200+ per session while some marginalized communities can’t get ANY services. And, I really mean that it’s your right to charge whatever you can, but PLEASE don’t paint yourself as some social justice warrior. Please.
Love This Podcast!
Thank you for bringing social justice into this topic! This is absolutely an important missing piece that I don’t hear other financial experts talking about. 👏👏👏
