What’s holding investors back from building real wealth? 

Talking Real Money, hosts Don McDonald and Tom Cock take aim at the 10 most damaging myths, lies, and mistakes that cost investors big—often millions.

You’ll learn:

  • Why "having a guy" isn’t a strategy—it's a setup

  • Why predicting the market is like calling a psychic

  • How starting too late can cost you over half a million

  • The hard truth about individual stocks, expensive advisors, and false promises of risk-free wealth

  • Why diversification, low costs, and understanding your real risk profile actually work


Don McDonald, a 34-year financial talk radio veteran, and Tom Cock, the former host of Serious Money on PBS, join forces to cut through financial jargon and expose what really works. In every episode, they solve real money problems, share smart long-term strategies, and bring clarity to the complex financial issues that affect all of us.

Talking Real Money is designed to give you the real help you need for a really great financial future—and yes, it’s actually fun to listen to.

Bonus shoutout: Don McDonald also generously donated his time to narrate the audiobook version of Paul Merriman’s bestselling book, “We’re Talking Millions!” His voice brings the content to life with clarity, energy, and heart. He’s not only a brilliant communicator—he’s also a phenomenal reader. Listen to the audiobook here.
