Money Talk was born after the host, Skyler Fleming, realized that so many issues we all face with our finances could be solved with a simple conversation. He realized this when working at a credit union as a call center supervisor (ask him about some of the crazy stories from this job). Countless issues and situations were resolved after a simple money talk! So, after moving on from that job, Money Talk was born! With over 200+ episodes and 4+ years of creating content Money Talk continues to evolve and help everyone, young and old, get started with personal finance.
In this week’s episode of Money Talk, I’m flying solo for a very special reason. It’s the final episode of the show! After over four years of hosting Money Talk, I’m reflecting on what this podcast has meant to me, the lessons I’ve learned, and how it’s shaped my journey from a call center employee to a financial planner. I’m also sharing what’s next for me and how you can continue our money conversations through my new podcast, Financial Planning for Young Adults (https://www.youtube.com/@FPYApod).
Whether you’ve been listening since 2021 or you just found Money Talk recently, this episode is for you. I’m diving into how to start simple, meaningful money conversations, how financial planning can create opportunity in your life, and why talking about money without numbers can be so powerful. This is my farewell episode to my podcast, Money Talk
