Your 401k, a classic car collection, quantitative easing and the rising cost of your fast food burger all seem like wildly different topics. And yet somehow, they all end up hitting your checking account one way or another. It's All Money draws the throughline for investing, sales, taxes, business stories, economics and day-to-day spending. Every episode is designed for you to walk away at the end with 1 useful tip to increase your financial confidence, even if (actually especially if) you knew very little about the topic at the start.
Because ultimately, It's All Money.
It's All Money is powered by Sonoma Wealth. The show is hosted by Sonoma Wealth Managing Principal Daren Blonski, CFP® AIF® and Marketing Director Dano Weir. Sonoma Wealth is the private wealth arm of Fermata Advisors. Fermata's holistic financial services also includes Fermata 401k and Fermata Tax. Fermata is headquartered in Sonoma, California with offices across Northern California in Santa Rosa, San Rafael, Auburn and Chico.
