What Men Need to Hear About Money | Mady Mills
About this episode
And in case you missed it, check out last week's episode of Your Money Guide on the Side where we answered the question, How Do I Invest $1,000,000?
She’s been on Bloomberg. The New York Times. Yahoo Finance. But Mady’s real talent? Translating the chaos of markets and money into stories that make you feel seen. In this episode, we dive into everything from surviving the 2016 election newsroom to navigating the terrifyingly personal world of money and relationships. Mady opens up about growing up around volatility — both financial and emotional — and how it fuels her empathy-first approach to financial journalism today.
We talk about:
Why everyone, even billionaires, fears losing everything
How to actually make money content more fun and accessible
What David Booth (yes, that billionaire) thinks you should do instead of stressing about a stock crash
How her background in political reporting shaped her calm, clear-eyed view of financial chaos
The most important account a woman can open (hint: it starts with “I” and ends with freedom)
And the number one piece of advice for men in relationships—you’ll just have to listen and find out!
This is one of those rare conversations that gets behind the curtain of financial media and your own money story — and leaves you feeling a little smarter, a little braver, and a lot more equipped to have the hard conversations.
