Money, Meet Meaning
Money Meet Meaning
Our religious and wisdom traditions actually have a lot to teach us – and have for millennia – about one of the greatest sources of stress and struggle in our contemporary lives.

This podcast finds the seldom visited intersection of “Personal Finance” and “Religion & Spirituality.” It’s not academic scholarship or theological discourse. It won’t have stock tips or market predictions. Instead, each episode features practical insights and discovery on how our wisdom traditions pave a path – whether you're religious, spiritual, or none of the above – on navigating our complex financial lives.
