Description

Talking about the F word never sounded so good.

 

Money & a Good Life is a podcast to help you manage your finances and 
make the most out of life.

 

So what the F is this podcast about?

 

Finances.

 

Ryan Watson is someone who tells it like it is. And speaks from the heart. No wonder he’s the host of a podcast that tackles the F word head-on.

 

This word can either be a friend or a foe. Ryan knows both. He’s experienced living pay check to pay check, seeing his hard working single mother determined to take control of her money, rather than let it control her and her family.

 

It’s what inspired him to disrupt the finance industry by making financial advice less complicated. More human. And it’s what naturally led him to creating the Money & a Good Life podcast to further break down barriers by having open conversations about money and all that comes with it.

 

Meet our hosts

Whatever your views on the F word (finances that is), this podcast is worth every minute. From priceless cashflow hacks to answering the time-old question ‘can money buy happiness?’, join Ryan and Steph each episode as they uncover the secrets to creating a healthy relationship with money – and how this can lead to living your Good Life.
