Episode 69: Investing in Clothes

Clothes: something we all need (unless you want to get arrested.) Some view garments as a fashion statement while others view them as a practicality, serving as protection from the elements. Whatever your view of clothes might be, they’re something we all need. In today’s show, we are discussing how clothes can “make” a person, impacting the way you feel and behave. We’ll then jump right into the investment aspect and how it can be a rewarding experience. Do your outfits provide a return on investment, or are they cheaply made and disposable? For many, buying clothes is an emotional experience that “sparks joy” or relieves stress. Yes, quality typically means expensive. But if investing in nice clothes makes you feel better, makes you comfortable, and you get more use out of them, your wallet and closet will eventually thank you.

Episode 68: From Side Hustle to Bonafide Business

Viable businesses often start as hobbies or “side hustles” as we like to call them. In fact, some of the largest companies in the world, like Apple, Amazon, and Facebook, started in a humble garage or dorm room. In today’s episode, we discuss the importance of learning how to make money doing what you love, and the dedication it takes to turn a side hustle into a bonafide business. We’ll be talking about the steps it takes to start a business, how to set expectations, and making sure you are protected. Yes, there are a lot of risks with making this big jump, but the opportunities are there if you are smart, determined, and strategic. This transition isn’t for everyone, but it’s the entrepreneurial spirit that drives America, right? Tune in and hear our pros and cons of starting a business the right way.

Episode 63: The Prenup Powwow

So, we’ve walked you through the moment you say “I do,” and we’ve talked in-depth about merging finances. But we need to take a step back and talk about prenups. The act of marriage is a beautiful thing but it carries a tremendous amount of legal significance. Join Cort and Katie as they break down the craziest prenups, list the pros and cons of this contract, discuss celebrity prenups, and talk about who needs one. Contrary to popular belief, they are not solely for the rich and famous. This binding contract between two people creates transparency and sets expectations for a couple when it comes to protecting assets. No, it’s not sexy. And yes, prenups get a bad rap. But it can be used to have important discussions and ensure your finances are handled correctly during and after marriage.
