In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

27. There’s No Such Thing As Passive Income 19:46

il y a environ 9 jours19:46

19:46

Most of the ads on social media for ‘building passive income’ are actually very much NOT passive at all. In fact, in the rare occasion where your income is truly passive, you probably had to work for it leading up to it. If you think renting is just throwing money away, think again. While homeowners deal with surprise expenses, market crashes, and “passive” income that’s anything but passive, renters enjoy flexibility and zero repair bills. So who’s really winning there? I also dive into the "usefulness" of tech and the privilege of eating out, plus how social media warps our spending habits. Maybe all you really need is a countryside farm and some WiFi.

Are you dodging investing like an awkward ex? You’re not alone. We unpack why people avoid their money and how bad stereotypes (looking at you, used car salesmen) mess with our decisions. Many say investing is just glorified gambling, but patience, index funds, and basic math say otherwise. If you’re interested in investing but have always wondered how exactly you go about it, this episode’s for you. Get your money right before your accounts end up in the unclaimed property abyss.

A "quick" move turned into a ten-hour disaster—because moving is a nightmare. Meanwhile, rich people like Elon Musk just don’t own a lot of things. Must be nice. Also: why New Year’s resolutions are a joke, why some people chase millions while others won’t move for $100K, and how local businesses quietly make bank while startup bros grind for clout.

When your financial advisor is Reddit, what could go wrong? From GameStop memes to questionable hot takes, we explore the wild world of online money advice. With endless demand for guidance, even mediocre advisors thrive—and AI tools aren’t helping the chaos. Learn how to spot the difference between wisdom and noise before Uncle Joe or a subreddit ruins your retirement. Got questions or think we missed a spot?

Is a Master's in Business Administration even worth it? Is success just society’s way of keeping us busy chasing things that don’t actually make us happy? In this episode, I dig into why money, titles, and early retirement might not be the life goals they’re cracked up to be—and what actually matters instead. Time to rethink what we’re all running after. Got questions or think I missed a spot? Drop me an email at soup@soupofwallstreet.com and get in on the conversation!…

Ever wonder why the stuff your grandparents thought was fancy is now just collecting dust at estate sales? In this episode, I explore how nostalgia shapes how we spend money today. From boomers doing it all themselves to younger generations clicking apps for everything, I dig into how different generations think about cash, value, and luxury. Tune in for a dose of reality on how we view spending and status today. Got questions or think I missed a spot? Drop us an email at soup@soupofwallstreet.com and get in on the conversation!…

21. Is Trump Actually Gonna Cut Taxes? 26:24

il y a un an26:24

26:24

The art of political simplicity: apparently, all it takes to win is to promise not to tax tips and overtime—who knew? Not Kamala I guess. Trump’s easy-to-digest tax ideas seem to overshadow Kamala Harris’s more complicated, theoretical proposals. Add in voter confusion about early voting, and voila—election magic. We also poke at the big promises: SALT cap repeal, auto loan deductions, and the fantasy that these policies don’t shift tax burdens. Because "fiscal responsibility" is rebranding the same ideas to sound fresh. Got questions or think we missed a spot? Drop us an email at soup@soupofwallstreet.com and get in on the conversation!…

Think more is better? Think again, more only makes life more complex. The secret is, how much complexity can you handle? Life’s obsession with piling on possessions, tasks, and digital clutter often leaves us more stressed and less decisive. While we outsource everything and chase convenience, we forget the basics: health and relationships—life’s only non-negotiables. Maybe the key isn’t doing more but closing a few tabs, shedding the extras, and focusing on what actually matters. After all, less isn’t just more—it’s sanity.

Ever wonder if politicians are the ultimate “smart dumb” people? They’ve mastered self-promotion but have a hard time with, you know, actual governing. We’re unpacking the absurdity of voter priorities, then we dive into the weird reality of running cities like NYC—$112 billion budgets with a salary that barely attracts the capable. No wonder the candidates look... familiar. And to cap it off, a look at personal ambition, misguided social media flexes, and the bizarre ways people define “success.” Got questions or think we missed a spot?

Think a 0.5% interest rate cut will save you on your mortgage? Think again. In this episode, we break down why these cuts mostly help banks, not you, and why long-term mortgage rates couldn’t care less. We also dive into the government’s headache with rising rates—spoiler: borrowing just got a lot more expensive. If you're wondering how all this affects your wallet and Uncle Sam’s budget, stay tuned! Got questions or think we missed a spot?

Is success all about hard work, or the circumstances we’re born into? This episode challenges age-old myths. We also take a fun stroll through how acceptable behavior has changed over time—from normal to shocking. Add in a little reflection on how the internet, despite its “limitless” reach, still leaves people unaware and unbothered in their own snug little box, and we've got quite the episode. We also tackle the indecision epidemic and how people just love sticking to their own views, even when they don’t actually know what they want. Enjoy! Got questions or think we missed a spot?

Are you “risk-averse”? Chances are you're not even evaluating risk correctly. We compare daredevil free climbers to your boring daily drive and explain why stuffing cash under the mattress isn’t as safe as you think. Freaked out by bank failures? Relax, your money’s more secure than your panic suggests. We’ll also clear up why investing in stocks isn’t as terrifying as it sounds, and why keeping cash and managing debt might actually save your financial butt. Oh, and we’ll throw in some lessons from Tiger, Roger and Scottie. Got questions or think we missed a spot? Drop us an email at soup@soupofwallstreet.com and get in on the conversation!…

Is the 9-5 grind dead post-COVID? Massive layoffs at Facebook and Tesla are shaking up Austin’s housing market—spoiler: house prices are tanking, credit card debt is skyrocketing, and savings are a distant memory. Thanks, instant gratification and modern tech! We'll also chat about whether people will use their "free time" to be productive or just scroll aimlessly. Hint: one choice could make the rich richer and the poor poorer. And let’s not forget the joys of over-spending to keep up appearances. Join us for a reality check on how to survive this economic circus. Got questions or think we missed a spot? Drop us an email at soup@soupofwallstreet.com and get in on the conversation!…

Let’s dive into the not-so-brilliant financial habits we're all guilty of—like chasing returns and ignoring those "boring" employee benefits.
