Have you ever wondered how your friend bought that vacation home or why that colleague of yours makes everyone meticulously split the tab down to the last Diet Coke? Other People’s Pockets is a show about other people’s money. We ask people from all walks of life to get radically transparent about their personal finances in order to learn more about who we are and what makes us tick (and perhaps we level the playing field a little bit along the way?).

Ingrid Nilsen was one of the quintessential YouTube stars of the 2010’s, known for her candid, girl-next-door style videos about makeup and "boyfriend-approved" outfits. Then one day, she quit YouTube, saying goodbye to her 8 million followers and the fortune that came with them. Now, Ingrid runs a fragrance company, The New Savant, that she co-founded with her girlfriend Erica Anderson. She gets a paycheck, but it ain't that YouTube money.

Customer Reviews
More Maya, please
Maya Lau is a great conversationalist and is herself as interesting as her interview subjects. I appreciate that she pushes her guests for numbers, and am disappointed when they don’t reveal. But often the reason for not sharing is as telling as the number itself.
Insightful and helpful
Talking about money (like many Americans) has always been tough for me. I feel a lot of shame around money and not maybe being as careful or skilled with managing it. This podcast sheds a light on the reality of how finances aren’t always as they seem. I can feel the shame leaving each time a guest shares their challenges or realities and it makes me feel more brave to talk about my own circumstances. Maya does an incredible job asking thoughtful interview questions and keeping the conversation light while also digging deep.
Highly recommend a listen to anyone interested in building a more transparent world that talks about money and acknowledges the root of inequities
Interesting so far
I like the idea behind the show and appreciate that some guests are transparent about their specific finances, but I wish they all would be. I think if someone is going to come on this podcast, they should do so knowing they will have to answer these types of questions and be prepared to provide an honest, clear answer.
Some of the progressive ideas discussed in this show can be a bit cringe but overall an okay listen.
