What this is, who I am, and why it might help you feel better about money.
Hey there—
If you found your way here, welcome. This newsletter is an extension of the work I do on the podcast Your Money Guide on the Side, and the mission is pretty simple:
Help you feel clear, confident, and calm about money…without jargon, gimmicks, or panic. Oh yeah, and I’m not selling you anything, and this will always be free for you.
I used to manage investment portfolios and give financial advice. Now I spend most of my time making content that helps real people understand what actually matters when it comes to money & investing. Not the headlines, not the timely hype—just real-life strategy, clarity, and perspective.
If you’ve ever wondered…
Am I doing the right thing with my money?
Should I be investing differently?
What’s enough, and how do I know if I’m there?
Why does money still stress me out, even when I have an abundance of it?
…then you’re in the right place. That’s what we talk about here—both in this newsletter and on the podcast.
🎧 The Podcast
Your Money Guide on the Side is a top 10 investing podcast built for people who are smart enough to know there’s more to wealth than just growing numbers.
Each week, I sit down with people who’ve shaped the way we think about money—from bestselling authors like Andrew Tobias and JL Collins to thoughtful voices in finance, psychology, and beyond.
You can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you tune in. We’re in your ears with a new live episode every Monday morning at 6am EST.
If you like what you hear, please consider leaving a review here, as it’s beyond helpful to spread the word to new audiences, and it’s a great way to support the endeavor!
📬 What You’ll Get Here
Every week or so, I’ll send:
Quick, useful insights on money and investing
Big-picture reflections (without the nonsense or the jargon)
Sneak peeks at upcoming episodes and what you can expect from the podcast
Any other useful resources I’ve come across throughout the week
No spam. No affiliate dumps. No 19-step funnels. This is the bottom of the funnel, if you will, so welcome. You’re in good company. :)
