Money Talk
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 150+ episodes and nearly 4 years of creating content Money Talk continues to evolve and help everyone, young and old, get started with personal finance. Check out Money Talk weekly for expert interviews and fascinating stories.
